Restaurant Peppino : Rte des Layeux 1, 1884 Villars-sur-Ollon

We came here on a Sunday and where briskly told to go away, as reservations where needed. We did notice 10 free tables at the time, so it was dubious. That being said, the pressure for Peppino’s to be above great, is at play. We came back Monday night with proper reservations and where quickly seated. They brought bread, but no plates to dip it with the Olive oil on the table, a simple misshap, as the place was jammin’. I ordered the buffala caprese salad which was enormous. The Buffala was insane good, top marks. The tomatoes where very average, but all in all the ensemble was great. I proceeded with the Lucifero pizza, two cheeses and spicy sausage. It looked really great and was eager to dive into it, but it was pretty average. A noticeable lack of cheese towards the middle of the pie was dissapointing. The spicy sausage was delicious, but I really wanted more cheese. The tomatoe sauce was pretty good, but the pizza lacked some san Marzzano umpf, seasoning and cheese. Maybe it was an off day, because the clams my buddy ordered looked amazing. For my first experience here then, some hits, a few misses. Not top notch, pretty average fare, especially when you have hardcore competition around for dinning out.

Best burrata I ever had!! Good wine, good hosts and recommend ending the night with a sgroppino.

Super-friendly staff, tasty food and quick service!
