Glad you had a great experience Billy3. As you will notice as this thread evolves (devolves? lol) there are those detractors regarding Sal e Pepe who will always pop up.
It is one of our favorites. The new location is spectacular! We were there 3 times last visit. It was also our "last lunch" after leaving our accommodations and waiting to go to the airport.
We did have a crappy waiter in November and spoke to Scarlett and Davide about him. Also complimented Emmanuel who is WONDERFUL!
