"To be clear, you don’t have to take your food to go here. There are about five small tables where you can eat your food after you order at the counter. This a tiny neighborhood Italian spot, and the menu is surprisingly large for how tiny the space is. They have paninis, salads, chicken, and salmon - but you can skip all of that and just get some pasta. Order off the menu or just pick a pasta and sauce, then get a piece of focaccia to mop up the remains, and you’ll be very well-prepared for a nap. photo credit: Alex Staniloff" - Bryan Kim
"New York is a haven for good Italian food, but most exist in the form of fine dining. If you want delicious no fuss, unpretentious, pasta, Pepe Rosso has got it hands down. Mainly a takeout joint, there are a few spaces to sit down for a quick bite if you can snag a seat." - Julia Guo
"Serving inexpensive plates of pasta and glasses of wine since 1997." - Robert Sietsema
"Despite what it sounds like, Pepe Rosso To Go does more than just takeout. This Italian spot just below Houston Street also has a few tables where you can sit and eat. Granted, there’s a sign on the wall instructing you to “eat fast,” but that rule isn’t really enforced, and it’s not like you’ll want to hang out here for an hour anyways. You don’t come for the atmosphere, you come for large servings of relatively inexpensive pasta, and - even though you get some free bread - you should always order a chunk of focaccia to clean up any stray sauce." - hannah albertine, bryan kim
"I remember Pepe Rosso as a neighborhood-y place that moved from Soho and is now across the street in Greenwich Village." - Melissa McCart
