Otto & Pepe

Otto & Pepe brings Italian cooking to Wynwood's Art District, built around a 22-person pasta bar where guests can watch chefs roll and cook fresh pasta to order. The menu, developed by Italian chef Viviana Varese, leans on classics like cacio e pepe, bolognese, branzino carpaccio, and a lobster 'nduja pasta, paired with a wine list built around natural and Italian bottles plus craft cocktails.

The space mixes an intimate wine enoteca with a garden patio, giving it a cozy feel for a date night and enough room for groups and celebrations. Entrees run from roughly $25 for classic pastas up to $60 for the lobster dish, placing it in the upscale casual range.

Guests regularly mention the branzino pasta, gazpacho verde, and pistachio gelato, along with an omakase pasta experience for those who want the chefs to choose. Located at 126 NW 27th St, it's an easy stop before or after exploring Wynwood's galleries and street art, with valet and street parking available and reservations recommended on weekends.
