We invite you to step away from the crowds and step into a world of "meticulous service" and "specialty cuisine crafted by skilled chefs."

A Culinary Journey into 2026

For New Year's Eve, our menu is a celebration of the finest ingredients, blending local Floridian freshness with authentic Italian technique. Here is a glimpse of the "fine dining" experience that awaits you.

Toast to the New Year: Our Wine Selection

A fine dining experience is defined by the harmony between food and wine. At Pepe & Sale, we pride ourselves on an exceptional wine list curated to enhance every dish on our menu.


The Perfect Toast

New Year's Eve demands bubbles. We recommend starting your evening with a bottle of Sacchetto Asolo Prosecco. Hailing from the Veneto region, this wine offers expressive notes of citrus, honey, and white florals. It is lively, crisp, and the perfect way to cleanse your palate and lift your spirits.

Red Wines for the Winter

If you are enjoying our Lamb Chops or Filet Mignon, allow us to pour you a glass of Amarone della Valpolicella. This full-bodied, intense ruby-red wine boasts notes of dried fruits, cherries, and licorice. Its warmth and velvety tannins make it an ideal companion for the cooler December evenings in Stuart.

White Wines for Seafood

For those choosing the Branzino or Lobster Ravioli, a crisp Ribolla Gialla from the Friuli region is unmatched. With elegant notes of lemon curd and green apple, it cuts through rich sauces and complements the delicate sweetness of fresh seafood.

Italian New Year's Traditions

When you dine with us, you are part of our family. In Italy, New Year's Eve is steeped in superstition and tradition, mostly revolving around food.

Lentils for Prosperity

It is customary in Italy to eat lentils (lenticchie) as the clock strikes midnight. Their coin-like shape is said to represent money and prosperity for the coming year. At Pepe & Sale, we incorporate these traditional elements into our specials to ensure our guests leave not just full, but blessed with good fortune.

The Importance of "Cenone"

The "Big Dinner" or Cenone is the main event of New Year's Eve. It is a time to linger over multiple courses, engaging in conversation and laughter. We encourage our guests to take their time. In our restaurant, you are not just a customer; you are a guest in our home. Relax, enjoy the ambience of downtown Stuart, and let the evening unfold.

Why Celebration in Downtown Stuart?

Downtown Stuart is the jewel of the Treasure Coast. The historic streets, the proximity to the St. Lucie River, and the vibrant culture make it the ultimate destination for New Year's Eve.

The Lyric Theatre

Located just steps from our door, the historic Lyric Theatre often hosts events and shows. A dinner at Pepe & Sale followed by a show is the classic "dinner and a theater" experience, elevated.

The Riverwalk

After your meal, take a stroll along the Riverwalk. The cool breeze and the festive lights create a romantic atmosphere that is perfect for welcoming the New Year.
