In 1999 Pepi's Ristorante and Southold found one another and the rest, you might say, is pretty much history. Before southold there was a Pepi's Ristorante in the Whitestone section of Queens under the capable stewardship of Pepi and Nick, and yes, there was also the recent arrival of a son by the name of Dennis. On a rare day off, in the early spring of 1999, Pepi, Nick and Dennis took a ride to southold on the north fork of long island and during their travels, discovered a recently vacated windsail boat rental facility at the waters edge of southold bay.
