Trattoria Da Peppino - Steinofen Pizzeria in Arnsberg

Excellent quality… we got a really good pizza. We were just passing through and were absolutely thrilled.

I ordered spaghetti carbonara, but there was no sauce to be seen, and the food arrived lukewarm. Furthermore, my request for penne pasta was ignored.

The food was delicious. We'd love to come back.

A Disappointing Experience At the end of November, my husband and I visited Trattoria da Peppino. Unfortunately, the evening started off very unpleasantly with the parking situation. It was absolutely unacceptable: We had to park on an adjacent field without any lighting. We could only guess at the path to the restaurant and trudged through a muddy track to the entrance. Our strong recommendation is: Please don't wear good shoes or pumps – they will inevitably be ruined. Our car was accordingly damaged inside and out. The food wasn't a culinary highlight, but it was okay. The waiter, who was nice and friendly, deserves a special mention. However, the experience at the checkout was all the more disappointing. We had a voucher book, and the owner himself took the bill. Although we had ordered additional dishes besides the two main courses, we were treated very rudely. There was neither a "please" nor a "thank you" – even after we had left a tip. Not even a goodbye. The waiter was nice and friendly. We seriously question why anyone would agree to be entered into a coupon book if it appears to be against their will. Therefore, we cannot recommend this!

Excellent food, excellent service. Everything was perfect.

Really very friendly, good pizza and we'll be back!!!!

Delicious pizza, pleasant atmosphere. We'll gladly come again. :-)

We ate here on Sunday evening as a group of four. Since it's often full, you should definitely make a reservation. We arrived at 5 pm, and it was still empty, with plenty of space in the small, narrow parking lot. The restaurant has a modern interior, but the seating is rather uncomfortable. All the tables are arranged in rows next to each other without any partitions. The armchairs, however, are very comfortable. Our order was taken promptly. Wine isn't listed on the menu; I ordered a Lambruso on a hunch and received a small, well-chilled bottle. The restaurant gradually filled up, and they were preparing many dishes for delivery. We shared a small appetizer platter. This consisted of mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, cheese, peppers, artichokes, eggplant, salsiccia, ham, and mortadella, and was sufficient for four people. It also came with pizza rolls. We only received the garlic mayonnaise we had ordered after reminding them. Of the appetizers, I only ate olives and a tomato, as I didn't like most of the other dishes, and the salsiccia, ham, and mortadella were far too fatty for my taste. I ordered lasagna again, as it was delicious on my first visit last year. It's not served in a casserole dish swimming in sauce, but rather as a juicy, sliced ​​piece cut from the dish onto a plate. Unfortunately, this time it was significantly less tasty than usual: very dry, the pasta was hard and crispy on one side, and topped with dry, unmelted grated Parmesan. My husband wasn't impressed with his lasagna either. My brother and his wife ordered pizza. All the dishes were served at once; only the calzone pizza was delayed. It arrived only when the other three people were almost finished eating. They had forgotten to bake it. Yes, that can happen. The restaurant was quite full later on, and the pizzas were being prepared by only one person. I had a good view of the counter and could see that food was constantly being picked up from the delivery service. The staff barely had time to attend to the guests at the tables. We only received a second drink after we loudly demanded to be served. I've always been satisfied with Da Peppino before, but this time I wasn't happy. Forgetting mayo and a pizza is unacceptable, as is not checking in between to see if we needed more drinks or if everything was alright. The lasagna was much too dry for my taste. The pizzas are cooked in a wood-fired oven, looked delicious and crispy, and tasted good. Early the next morning, my brother texted us to ask if we were all okay. He'd had stomach pains since the previous evening, vomited constantly during the night, and was now experiencing circulatory problems. My husband also had a lump in his stomach. My sister-in-law and I were fine. We both didn't eat the sausage and ham from the appetizer platter; therefore, I suspect something was wrong with them, even though everything looked fine. My brother was off sick for a whole week. I don't know if I'll come back again; the lasagna was great last time, but this time it wasn't worth the money.

We first stumbled upon Trattoria da Peppino quite by chance, thanks to a coupon book. And even then, it was almost by necessity, as it's one of the very few restaurants open on Mondays. Hmm, well, okay, Italian food it is… But then! A very last-minute phone reservation request was answered positively. We found ourselves in a beautiful, tastefully decorated space with a lovely atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive! And the food – absolutely perfect! The spaghetti carbonara was so delicious and so beautifully presented that you almost want to eat it with a shovel. The lasagna was just as good, as was the tagliatelle with salmon, and so much more… and the tiramisu, wow, mmm, divine!! Last week, we went back for the second time, this time with a wheelchair user. The helpfulness was overwhelming, from offering assistance with eating to providing a suitable table and serving the customer. The helpfulness was overwhelming, from offering assistance to finding a suitable table and providing excellent service. ... The prices are okay, perfectly reasonable for the quality and quantity, and quite affordable compared to other restaurants. The only slight drawback is the somewhat unusual parking lot directly behind the restaurant. There's a small tree in the middle of it, surrounded by large boulders, which can make maneuvering and parking a bit challenging when the restaurant is busy, especially for those with a vehicle adapted for people with disabilities. However, there's another parking lot just a few steps away on the other side of the street, which somewhat compensates for the situation. You just have to know where it is. Nevertheless, all in all, it will likely become one of our regular haunts and we highly recommend it.

Very comfortable swivel chairs. Excellent service.

A beautiful, sunny terrace nestled in greenery, perfect for relaxing. Super friendly service and perfect Italian cuisine. Highly recommended, I would definitely return.

We ordered two pizzas to go today. Upon arrival, we were greeted very warmly, and the pizzas were ready for immediate pickup. The atmosphere, although we were only there briefly, was very pleasant and cozy without feeling dated. The pizzas (Neapolitan style) were outstanding in terms of both the quality of the ingredients and their preparation. I've been baking pizza myself for many years in a proper oven and also use Tippo 00 flour, San Marzano canned tomatoes, and Fior di Latte flour, so I have the basic knowledge to evaluate such a fantastically delicious pizza. My conclusion: The best pizza for miles around. Anyone who eats here will get authentic pizza of absolutely top quality.

Amazing pumpkin soup, highly recommended!

We went there on a recommendation and it lived up to the hype. The food was delicious. The service and atmosphere were excellent as well. Only the parking lot is a bit tight.

Very tasty pizza and friendly service

Delicious pizza and very friendly service. I always enjoy coming back.

How they could send a lasagna like that to a customer is beyond me. But then, after my phone call where I politely explained the situation, they offered to bring a new one, and after three hours no one had arrived, it was outrageous. That was my last order there.

Friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere. Very good food!!! Always happy to come back!!!

We ate there for the first time today. The food and service were excellent. We paid with a "Schlemmerblock" (snack pad). We had three pizzas, one pasta dish, and two children's plates. We were surprised by the high bill, and when we asked, we were told that the cashier deducts the children's plates. For us, children's plates are not main courses. That's very disappointing. They should have told us this beforehand. It's never been done this way in any other restaurant before.

The food was delicious. The staff was very friendly. We'll be back.

I've been to Peppino's several times and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended.

I was absolutely thrilled with this pizzeria! As soon as you enter, you're greeted with a warm smile – the staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and immediately puts you at ease. The food is simply fantastic! The pizza in particular is crispy on the outside, wonderfully fluffy on the inside, perfectly topped, and full of flavor. You can immediately tell that they make it with love and fresh ingredients. The pasta and desserts are also dreamy, but the pizza is truly the highlight! Every slice tastes like a vacation in Italy. A huge compliment to the entire team; you rarely experience such warmth and passion in a restaurant. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this pizzeria! 🔥

Good evening, I was there with six other colleagues. It was perfect: the food, service, and atmosphere were all top-notch. Thank you for everything.

Cozy pizzeria with delicious food and friendly service. The pizza was well-topped and the crust was nice and crispy. The wait was a bit longer than expected, but otherwise everything was great – I'll be back!

Best pizza ever. Focaccia was also very good. Pasta was al dente and very tasty. The schnitzel with hunter's sauce was unfortunately a bit mediocre. Apparently frozen. Since the pizza and pasta, etc., are great, I would expect a fresh schnitzel. But the hunter's sauce was also very good.

Very friendly and delicious. We'd love to go back!

Great, outstanding food. We had a pizza and a salad. The place was already quite busy at 5:15 p.m., so it was quite loud. A restaurant that is doing well—and rightly so! We'll be back.

Perfect! Great welcome! Excellent pizza! Bravo!

Top server, an exceptional man. I recommend him🥰

Excellent pizzas. Friendly atmosphere and very attentive servers. A very friendly restaurant! Don't hesitate!

Really, really delicious, impeccable service, delicious welcome...I highly recommend...

A must-visit place for a great time. The food is delicious, the service is excellent. The restaurant has a small, secluded room, which allows a large group to enjoy a festive moment without disturbing the rest of the restaurant. We booked the same day for 11 people and were very well received. We recommend it.

A very nice restaurant with delicious pizza and very friendly, charming service. We've been here a few times.

I was at the restaurant today, and it was fantastic. The pizza was fluffy and the ingredients were fresh. The taste was simply amazing! The service was first-class: friendly, witty, and very warm. You immediately feel welcome. Highly recommended; I'd love to come back!

I found Da Peppino while passing through. A genuine place with excellent Neapolitan pizza and an even better tiramisu. Thanks to the people who understand gastronomy so well. 🙌 The outside area looks amazing, too, but unfortunately the weather wasn't ideal.

A little vacation around the corner. Delicious pizza and a wonderful tiramisu.

Mega pizza! Small and cozy. Friendly. Everything was great.👌🏼

Best Italian restaurant in the area, whenever I'm in the area a visit is a must 💪

Always delicious here! Best pizza in town!

We were very impressed the first time we came here. Friendly service, good food, and a lovely atmosphere. That's why we reserved a table again two weeks later. Unfortunately, this visit wasn't as good. Despite having a reservation, we had to wait half an hour for our table because there were no free tables. After that, we were seated at a dirty table. The service was clearly overwhelmed; our table was only cleaned after we asked. The food was good, just like the first time. I wanted to give this place another chance. That's why I reserved a table again. This time, too, we had to wait for our reserved table and were seated at a dirty table. The lady at the front desk explained to us that many reservations are booked twice! If this is known, I wonder why they don't do anything about it. The service is sometimes so, sometimes so, depending on who is there. One young man in particular caught my eye. Even though I was waiting at the counter, he ran past me without acknowledging me, and only greeted selected guests with a smile. Overall, one could say that the service was understaffed. It's a real shame.

We pre-ordered, which I highly recommend. The food was simply fantastic. We had two pizzas (the crust was simply sensational) and two veal schnitzels (as tender as butter). The tiramisu was unbeatable. All in all, we'd gladly go back 😀

Very tasty pizza, highly recommended. Very attentive hosts.

Very tasty, good quality, friendly and pleasant atmosphere! We'd gladly return!

Our recommendation: Pizza and pistachio tiramisu 🤤 definitely worth it!!

We've been to Da Peppino a few times now and are always impressed. A fantastic menu with unique variations of pizza, pasta, and risotto... great service and a cozy atmosphere. We'd love to come back.

This was my first time at Da Peppino, and I have to say: At first, I thought the videos might be exaggerated – but when I got there, I was completely won over! The location is fantastic, and the little Italian chef is warm and passionate. As a self-employed restaurateur and pizza maker, I don't normally eat pizza or pasta anywhere else. But what I experienced here blew me away: The taste, the imagination, and the attention to detail are unique – I haven't experienced anything like it in over 10 years. They say that eating is what you see – and everything here is truly perfect. For me, as a colleague in the industry, Da Peppino is clearly the number 1 in this area. A huge compliment to the entire team – please keep up the good work!

Very nice restaurant, excellent food, and excellent service. We'd gladly go back. Highly recommended!

Really good food! The location is also really nice.

Unfortunately, this will be the first and last time, because I haven't seen coal like this in a long time! We ordered four pizzas to go, and when we got home, we found out there was nothing to eat. What a disaster! Who allows this?!

Food and service 10/10! Absolutely recommended 🙏🏽

The pizzeria impresses with excellent pizza, fresh ingredients, and fast, friendly service. Highly recommended – everything is just right here!

The food and service were very good. Nice atmosphere 👍

Very, very delicious food... The staff is super friendly and attentive. Definitely recommended!

Costa the best waiter Great food Great chef Everything was great

Very tasty food, very friendly and attentive service and a sensational limoncello spritz!

Very tasty food and very good service.

Great food, very good pizza, excellent service, short wait! We'd love to come back.

Great service, delicious food, would go back!

We ate here using the voucher book. The service was very friendly. This was the best pizza we've had in a long time. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Very tasty food, spontaneous reservation, good service!

Everything was great and tasted good

Delicious food for a great price. Everything is fresh, and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

The pizzas were delicious. I had the Capriciosa. It's pretty close to a pizza from Rome. Great for Neheim. I could go there often!

Hardly any waiting time and very tasty food

First things first: Very delicious dishes that remind you of a vacation in Italy. Now the big but: The parking situation behind the restaurant is unfortunately quite inconvenient. Guests tend to run over each other's feet because everyone wants to park as close as possible to the restaurant. However, there is another parking lot 100 meters away. I found the noise level in the dining room itself to be very loud, as guests obviously had to shout at each other to outdo the conversation at the next table. Furthermore, your clothes smell extremely of the food when you leave the restaurant, as the kitchen is more or less located directly in the dining room. When ordering for pickup with Lieferando, it says 5:15 p.m., for delivery it says from 5:35 p.m. So we opted for the quick pickup option... On the way there, the pickup time is suddenly updated to 6:00 p.m.... What's the point?!! It's just annoying and really puts a damper on the whole experience!!!

Super delicious pizzas, a nice, relaxed atmosphere, and good service. And the kids love the chocolate soufflé for dessert.

Top service, everything perfect.

It was our first time here, and it won't be our last. 4 adults and 2 children. Great atmosphere, great service, and the daily special that was recommended to us was extremely delicious. Great team, keep it up!

A very nice atmosphere! The food tastes excellent and is freshly prepared. The pizza comes from a wood-fired oven. It's also good value for money. It wasn't my first time here, and I'd happily return.

Everything was great! We'd love to come back!

The pizza is amazing, the tiramisu is to die for and the hosts exude hospitality in every corner

The best pizza and pasta eaten outside Italy without any doubt.

Super delicious pizza, good focaccia and friendly service made the evening perfect ☺️

Good little Italian restaurant with lovely staff ☀️

Great shop :) I'll be happy to visit again! Highly recommended 👍🏽

By far the best pizza, and the chef is great too! Keep it up!

Simply delicious and great service

Great place! Very cozy outside, fast service and great food! Would go for dessert but we didn't have the time. It sure locked delicious. Would recommend!

Got a table on a Friday evening without a reservation, the service and the food were very good, delicious pasta, pizza, very good carpaccio and a great tiramisu to finish

The noise level was very loud, but the restaurant was also very busy. The food was fantastic, definitely make a reservation; we were lucky. The service was very friendly and accommodating.

August 16, 2025 In principle, the food was very good. However, I ordered tortellini alla panna and got tagliatelle with salmon. After an hour of waiting, I didn't want to wait again. You could say that these things happen, but on top of that, the waiter only had a smile for regular customers. There wasn't even a goodbye. Unfortunately, I didn't feel I was in good hands there. That's why I've updated my review. I'm extremely disappointed in my fellow countryman. Sorry

Highly recommended! The food is excellent, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting.

Everything was great 👍🏼 food, service I can only recommend to everyone 😁

I waited 2.5 hours for a "stone-baked pizza" where the dough tasted like rubber, was soggy, and arrived squashed in the box. It was the worst pizza I've eaten in a long time. No apology, no acknowledgment for the long wait. If you're that overwhelmed by a delivery service, it's better to just skip it altogether. Never again.

In this pizzeria, the owner makes the pizzas himself and takes special care of each customer.

The food was simply delicious! The pizza was especially outstanding – crispy crust, fresh ingredients, and super flavorful. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy and inviting; you immediately feel at home. We didn't have to wait and were seated right away. We'd be happy to go back – highly recommended!

Never again! I ordered food by phone today at 6:36 PM, requesting delivery. The lady on the phone said it would take an hour. After two hours, I still haven't received the delivery, and no one is available by phone. Crazy, I've never experienced anything like this before!

Absolute disappointment! We were there with two small children and specifically asked if it would be quick before ordering. The answer was: "Pizza only takes about 30 minutes." So no appetizer, no pasta – just 6 pizzas, so it would be quick. Result? A 2-hour wait! With hungry children, this is an outrage. No apology, no explanation, nothing. We've rarely experienced such disrespect for guests and such poor organization. For us, it's clear: Never again!

Unfortunately, we were repeatedly put off for two hours and then eventually left without any food with two small 3-year-old children.

The food was delicious. The service was also excellent!

Came especially from Bremen for this pizza.

Very tasty and excellent service. I highly recommend it.

Super delicious pizza. Great service and a fantastic atmosphere. Highly recommended.

No, luckily we got a table on a Sunday evening. After ordering and serving drinks, the waitress came and told us there was no chef in the kitchen. They only had pizza and pasta, appetizers, and soups. After ordering an appetizer and a soup, it wasn't long before she came back and told us there were no soups either. Very sad for a Sunday evening.

The best Italian restaurant in the area, I highly recommend it. From starters to main courses and desserts, everything is delicious and beautifully decorated... the best wine (Lugana) and the friendly staff. I love coming here! Top 👍🏻

Very good service, nice ambience, delicious food, worth a visit!

Everything was great and they were very friendly

Our reservation was accepted without any indication that the chef was on vacation. Even when we were greeted, it was clear that our reservation hadn't been honored. We were shown to a table for four that was only half set; a fifth chair was simply brought in from the other table. The pizzeria was appealing, but the music was too loud and there weren't enough people serving. We had to point out the lack of cutlery. It took a while until we got our menus. We had made our choices when the waiter told us that the chef was on vacation and that only pizzas and salads were available... the menu was already limited, which further limited the selection. Five plates for the appetizer were brought, even though only one appetizer had been ordered... 4 of the five plates were "dirty"... in the meantime, other guests were served, received their food, and we hadn't yet ordered... our food arrived in two batches after the appetizer... and that was out of five pizzas... one pizza was burnt; it was partially eaten, as we had waited about 45 minutes... The salami pizza was unbalanced, too much tomato sauce, not enough salami, and even less "cheese." The tiramisu was too wet—all in all, not a pleasant experience. Two pizzas were good! Another pizza was also too runny... it just wasn't quite right for our visit! Of the five guests, only two were from Neheim, two from Hamm, and one from Bavaria. Our children wanted to "offer us something"—but it didn't really work out—a shame.

Everything was great. Reservations in the beer garden might be problematic, so it's best to call and ask. If in doubt, the manager himself will sort it out, and then it'll be a perfect fit.

Order delivered 25 minutes late, pizza cold and wobbly. Wrong topping on pizza, salad without dressing, burnt pizza rolls. Sorry, but others can do this much better 😡
