Don Pepe's Queens

[Nancy191]

Is Don Pepe - Queens/Ozone Park - Queens, still as good as it once was and is it still as crowed as it used to be?

You should post on outer boroughs

In regards to the food, yes I still think it is great if you order right. Baked clams, spaghetti w/clam sauce, veal Don Peppe, and Broccoli Rabe. And yes, it still gets very crowded.

this place went the way of doc gooden and daryl strawberry

[daveyj]

Don't get it. What do you mean by that?

[MOREKASHA]

Not worth a detour

[sushiman]

Absolutey wrong. Go there. The food is first rate. Delicious.

[daveyj]

I agree with Sushiman. I will be at Don Peppe tomorrow night enjoying the best baked clams on the planet.

[daveyj]

Just got home from Don Peppe....OUTSTANDING!!! Salad, baked clams, spaghetti with the pink clam sauce. That was the first time I tried the pink sauce, very similiar to the white sauce. Eggplant rollatini, shrimp with marinara, a side of brocolli rabe, and to finish it off, some tortoni. How can you go wrong?

Thinking about it, please let me know who has better baked clams. I would love to try em out.

Are they pickled? Cuz last time I had seafood there it was old old old!

i mean its over, downhill mediocre food, so many better places

[daveyj]

I agree, there are "better" places, but Don Peppe is the place for great baked clams, spaghetti w/ clam sauce, and Veal Don Peppe.

What are "so many better places?" I'm sure I've been, but maybe not.

They won't take ANY credit cards and they ONLY serve 2-3 wine choices one of which is their own home made wine that tastes like mouth wash.
But there are some good dishes to pick from.. You just have to know the right ones.

[sushiman]

The house wine served chilled is the way to go.

There are plenty of dishes that are outstanding.

Baked Clams
Linguini Marichiare Vongole
Lobster Fra Diavalo over linguini
Shrimp Luciano
Shrimp in Red Sauce
Stuffed Artichoke
Sausages Peppers and Onions
Chicken Scarpariello (with sausages pepper onions and potatos it becomes Chicken Contadina)
Veal Don Peppe
Chinese Chicken

Off the top of my head.
