Peppercorn’s Grill is owned and operated by brothers Sal and Dino Cialfi, who brought their Roman training and family recipes to Hartford when they purchased the restaurant in 1989. In 1994 they opened sister restaurant Piccolo Arancio, which they ran until 2023; the original Piccolo Arancio near Rome’s Trevi Fountain is still operated by their cousins.At Peppercorn’s, the Cialfis blend classic Italian techniques with modern creativity, earning a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 10 years. The warm dining room, attentive staff, and lively Italian hospitality make guests feel as if they’ve stepped into a trattoria in Rome, welcomed like famiglia. Guests return again and again for Ossobuco, signature Orange Ravioli, Grilled Veal Chop, famous Zucchini Blossoms, and cocktails like the Pear Martini.
Please call the restaurant at 203-754-5111 for additional availability.The legendary history of Diorio Restaurant began in the 1920s. The late Rocco Diorio was responsible for the fine traditional food and many lasting memories for most of the people in the greater Waterbury area. The restaurant was closed in 1980 and reopened in 1991 after total restoration to its original splendor. The legend continues as we remain true to those endearing memories. We have the original marble bar, over-sized mahogany bankers booths, tin ceiling, and the most impressive acid-etched mirrors displaying historical Waterbury. Diorio Restaurant has once again reclaimed its reputation as Waterbury's finest.
