Went with my family to celebrate my birthday on Saturday night. Being a new establishment there aren't many reviews to go off and I wasn't quite sure if the venue would be kid friendly given I have a 4 and 7 year old. Anywho, I took the gamble. 

I can only comment on our experience. 

Once you walk up a couple of flights of steps, we were greeted with a friendly smile and shown to our table. Our host for the night was Sam. 
Sam was fantastic. He took the time to explain pretty much every item on the menu then gave us a few minutes to decide on what we would like. The way Don Peppino's is structured, the meals are meant for sharing. So don't go expecting big serves of pasta. In fact there were only 2 types of pasta on the menu. So Sam helped us with our ordering. To be honest, we were trying things we probably would normally skip. But we were glad we tried them as they were really delicious. The kids loved the Pane Fritto Anchovy, Tonnarelli and we all loved the lamb rump. Just beautifully cooked, juicy and tender. Roast potatoes were outstanding, nice and crunchy. 
Apart from the food, the reason for writing a review and giving this venue 5 stars was really the service we received from Sam and Ava. 
Sam really interacted with our kids which they loved. He took time to entertain them even when it was busy. My daughter ended up drawing a picture of Sam and Ava on the paper Sam provided.
Both kids got their drawings stuck on the mirror behind us. 
Overall, Sam was great with the friendliness, service and knowledge. We really felt he went above and beyond which added to the amazing experience of the night. 
To top it off, and I was really blown away by this as it's never happened to me before, Sam organised a mandarin cup with a candle on it, all the lights went out, music stopped in the restaurant and I had everyone singing happy birthday to me, including other guests. 
So we had a great experience with great food and great service. A truely memorable night. 
Highly recommend!
