I believe PepeNero is one of the very best restaurants in Traverse City. It is located in the Village at Grand Traverse Commons, right near the hospital. My husband and I ordered the filet, which was unbelievably wonderful. Our friend Nancy ordered the pan-roasted chicken, which she said was absolutely delicious, and her husband Jack loved every bite of his pork tenderloin. We completed our meal with a salad and the butternut squash soup...oh wait…Giorgio and Monica, the owners of PepeNero, treated us to lemon cello. What a great night!
The decor was done completely by Monica and it is beautiful. She ordered all the furniture locally from Traverse City shops because she wanted to support our local businesses. Giorgio gets all his meats and fish daily from a local market. I love how they support our community!
