Peppniguel Llc - Laguna Niguel

The food is FANTASTIC! Hands down some of the best Italian food in the area. We've had it delivered quite a few times and we all loved what we got! The only reason I gave it 4 stars is when we decided to go there to dine it was depressing. The food was again GREAT but the dining room was like being in like a homeless shelter. We had moths flying around our table. It was weird because we really expected to like it. I can't explain it. We will continue to have it delivered but won't go back to the restaurant.

Only writing this review to hopefully benefit the restaurant so that they are aware .. we just moved and just tried this location out for the second time . Both times we were in , we were the ONLY table in there .. if it was busy we'd be more understanding. We ordered a couple drinks and it took 25 min for a glass of wine , I wish I was exaggerating. The only reason we were watching the clock was we had a babysitter at home . 25 min for a drink ! I understand there is staffing issues everywhere , but one server for one table .. our server was young and still learning and after 15 min he came back to make sure the order was right . After that my husband ended up getting up to put our food order in . This is the second time that we've had horrible service .. The food was okay , unfortunately not worth the service so we will not be returning. Wishing them the best !

My wife and I have eaten there twice in the past 4 to 5 weeks, and both times I have been very disappointed with my food and service. On the first occasion there were screaming kids in the large center table having a birthday party so we sat out on the patio. You would have thought we had the plague because it was next to impossible to get service out there. My wife ordered the clam linguini which she liked. I ordered the lasagna, and when it was served, the sauce was steaming hot but the inside of the lasagna was cool, It obviously sat in the cold refrigerator too long and they did not heat it up enough in the oven. Our second dinner very recently, again my wife ordered the clam linguini which was fine. I told the server we wanted to order a large pizza and asked her the difference between their two styles (fancy Italian names), and she informed me that one was thin crust and the other thick crust. We deduced to get the thick crust, so I ordered a large sausage and mushroom thick crust pizza. When it arrived, it was served on a large round pizza tray, but was a smaller rectangle shaped pizza cut in 8 square pieces. I asked the server if this was a large pizza and she said that the thick crust pizza only comes in one size! She said nothing about that when I ordered a large thick crust pizza! Worst, you could hardly find the sausage on the pizza. They apparently took an Italian sausage and sliced it very thin probably on a mandolin, and the slices were paper thin. They were scattered over the pizza but you could hardly taste them at all. Sauce was the only think you could taste. Very disappointed! I rated them 2 stars because my wife liked the clam linguini, but the rest of the meal was a total bust. We will not be going back there again.

This place is closed as of 4/16/22. I'm currently sitting in the parking lot. It is not opened!

Had the worst experience couple of months ago. We are regular cutomers. Ordered a simple pizza to pick up. Was told 25 minutes. Went there 40 minutes later. 75 minutes into the order our order was not ready. Girl in reception was rude, when I asked to cancell the order, guy from the back came and threw $40 on the desk saying they did not have time to to a refund on my credit card!!! Plenty of Italian restaurants around, that serve better food, don't bother with this one.
