Zio Peppe is where tradition meets innovation, serious collides with playful, and gourmet converges with casual. Zio Peppe means “Uncle Joe’ in Italian, and just like a beloved “funcle” – a fun uncle, Zio Peppe will make sure all are welcome, and everybody is having a good time.Zio Peppe is a collaboration between Chef Devon Sanner and Chef Mat Cable. Our menu is anchored in Italian-American classics of pizza and pasta, but draws heavy influence from the foods and flavor profiles of Tucson and the Sonoran region.Sanner joins forces with Cable after having cooked under Tucson culinary legend Janos Wilder for the past 15 years, serving as chef at Janos, JBAR, Downtown + Cocktails, and The Carriage House.Zio Peppe, which means “Uncle Joe” in Italian, is in part a tribute to Cable’s uncle, Joe Sottosanti, who opened Tucson’s first Sicilian pizza place, Tesseo’s Pizzeria, nearly 50 years ago.

    Amelia's is a local gem. Their food is some of the best in Tucson (even featured in the New York Times!). This little strip mall restaurant is always deservedly busy. Although the space is decorated lovely inside, it's jut not large enough to accommodate the crowd. But, that's okay. The food quality and presentation is worth the wait. Don't miss the birria tacos with caldo ! My husband loves the shrimp tacos. Burros come drenched in amazing sauces that are unique and beautiful. Amelia's is a perfect example of the Tucson Foodie Culture - not to be missed!

    Excellent food and service! We sat in one of the interior booths, and it was private and intimate. Also very reasonably priced. We were even served by Renee - who gave us recommendations. Definitely would recommend!

    This is a charming little place that's good for romantic dates. It's not cheap, expect about $100 a person, however it's worth the money. Every staff member we encountered was very pleasant and helpful. The atmosphere was intimate but lovely and the food was outstanding.
