Cheap and Tasty in Chelsea

by britpoptart

I have been going to Pepe Giallo for several years. Great for a supper after visiting the chelsea galleries. You will pay just over $10 for a yummy pasta dish, and the wine, which is good though not superwonderfulamazing, is just $5 a glass! The coffee is also very very good, which is hard to find in a new york restaurant. The back garden is pretty too. This is not a shishi gourmet place with dishes you've never tried before that will knock your socks off, but I promise you cannot find better Italian at this price.

great food, cheap wine

by btpnyc

Pepe Giallo is one of my new favorites. Great food, inexpensive prices, a nice little garden in back, very friendly service. Most importantly, both the house red and the house white are delicious and come in big, cheap carafes. Il Mulino it's not, but for great food and good, cheap wine, Pepe Giallo is worth coming to west chelsea for.

  • Pros: inexpensive, great food, great wine

JUST OK!!!

by fashion1nyc

Great place to go and have an 'inexpensive' meal with 'cheap' wine, too. DO NOT GO FOR THE SERVICE. YOU WILL NOT BE PLEASED. The food is okay, nothing great. However for one appetizer, three entree's, one shared dessert, and two bottles of white, the bill was a cool $100!!

  • Pros: inexpensive, garden patio
  • Cons: food, service

very nice looking place, but lloks really mean nothing. terrible service. inexpensive, but rightly so. there is nothing special about the food here in fact it falls below my quality standards. ordered linguine with lobster tail. there was practically no meat in the lobster tail, not to mention the lobster tasted terrible.

  • Pros: inexpensive, ambience
  • Cons: low quality food, poorley prepared, terrible service

thumbs down

by lj

I was definitely impressed with the garden atmosphere and ONE of the dishes that we ordered. However, all positivity was ruined quickly by the service. Our waitress acted very snotty and I am still waiting for extra plates!

  • Pros: garden, cost
  • Cons: service, wine menu, small portions
