Pepe's Italian & Liquor

  • Bar
  • Restaurant

Pepe’s Italian & Liquor is situated in the centre of Melbourne's theatre district in a heritage-listed, faded red-brick building. This moody, yet inviting restaurant serves Italian fare.

The restaurant pays homage to the essence of the great restaurants of mid-twentieth century in New York and Melbourne. Head in for generous plates of ravioloni stuffed with buffalo ricotta, wood-fired pizzas, classic cocktails and the world famous lemon cheesecake.

Stepping inside Pepe’s Italian & Liquor takes you back to the golden age of theatrical dining but with a modern twist.
