Cheap and Tasty in Chelsea

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

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!!!

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

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
Just Rude!

Althought the place was cute, the young waitress could have been much more attentive. When a billing dispute came up with the check, the owner said tough luck, &refused to adjust the bill which we had overtipped, because they added already added %20 on the bill (which was not listed anywhere in the restaurant, nor on the check) He was the rudest proprieter I have ever encountered that stakes his lively hood on return business. We had 6 people with us. 6 people that will never return again. The old saying, if your happy, you'll tell 10 people, unhappy 100 people. I am so far up to 45 of my friends that will NEVER give this restaurant business again. Was the $30 you wouldn't deduct worth your reputation??
Warm and fuzzy for both tummy and wallet

This space is warm and initmate and makes a perfect stop after a day of gallery-hopping. It is definitely a neightobrhood place (and a gem at that); the service was attentive but casual and the prices are very very reasonable. The veal special was delicious and smothered in artichokes, tomatoes and mushrooms. The side of mix veggies happened to be my least favorite veggies but were so good that I finished them all! The scallops in the risotto special were fantastic, but the half lobster tasted not-so-fresh and was more like a giant shrimp in texture. Overall, the food was good but the wine was the big winner -- modestly priced and of good quality.
- Pros: prices, warmth
best delivery in WeChe (west chealsea)

I've been ordering from this place for five years. Just ordered from them again tonight. They are fast and cheap, but they can be rude on the phone so know what you want when you call.
I suggest making up your own pasta with them as well. I get the gnocchi which is AMAZING with vodka sauce and cheese on top. They charge you $1 for the cheese on top. Also the eggplant parm appetizer is great.
Sandwiches are ok at best.
Salads are very good.
- Pros: great tasting, consistant, cheap and quick
- Cons: rude on the phone
