Pepino’s Spaghetti House Celebrates One-year Anniversary with RED SAUCE RETRO

Starting July 1st, Pepino’s Spaghetti House is celebrating their first anniversary with Red Sauce Retro – a month-long throwback party paying homage to red sauce Italian-American cuisine & the culture of abbondanza!

Since opening in June 2018, Pepino’s has become one of Vancouver’s most beloved rooms, serving old school Italian fare – think piled-high portions of pasta, massive cuts of meat, abundant bread. The kind of hearty standards that define a red sauce restaurant, lovingly crafted with the highest quality ingredients, adored by families, and the movers and shakers alike. Throwing it back to the old days, the one-year-old spot is getting dressed up for dinner! All through the month of July, Pepino’s will don a festive, retro look, with requisite red checkered tablecloths. Complete with a throwback menu featuring highlights from the Italian-American cuisine canon – Veal Scallopini alla Boccaiola, Steak Oscar, and perhaps even a return of the opening menu original House Lasagna. Special cocktails to complement the dishes, flowing quartinos of “house” wine, and nostalgic surprises along the way!

In its successful first year, Pepino’s has already accumulated numerous accolades and achievements. Most importantly, the eatery is beloved by the local community, having earned praise for the respect shown to historic Nick’s Spaghetti House, the previous occupants of the Pepino’s space. An iconic Little Italy locale for more than 60 years, Nick’s legacy has been honoured by Pepino’s co-owners, respectively: Paul Grunberg’s legendary hospitality; Craig Stanghetta’s studio, Ste Marie Design’s transportive touch of “Nonna’s-house” atmosphere; and chef Mark Perrier’s by-the-book dedication to the Italian-American genre.
