A "truly exceptional fine dining experience" often begins with the first plate. When you're searching for the "best appetizers in Stuart, FL," you're looking for more than a simple starter—you're looking for "specialty cuisine" that sets the tone for an incredible meal.
At Pepe & Sale, our Antipasti menu is a source of great pride. It's a collection of dishes "crafted by skilled chefs" that are perfect for sharing, or for enjoying with a glass of wine from our "exceptional wine list."
Our Signature: Torre di Melanzane Fritte
This is a must-try and "our family recipe." We take crispy fried eggplant and layer it with rich tomato sauce, parmigiano, basil, and fior di latte mozzarella. It's a comforting, savory, and elegant tower that perfectly represents our "fine Italian dining" philosophy. It's one of the best appetizers in Stuart, FL, hands down.
The Classics, Perfected
A great antipasti menu honors tradition. Our "Carpaccio di Manzo" features thinly sliced beef tenderloin with capers, Taggiasche olives, and shaved parmigiano. For cheese lovers, our "Burrata e Speck" pairs fresh imported burrata with smoky speck and a sweet cherry tomato salad. These are timeless, high-quality dishes that never disappoint.

From the Sea
We also feature incredible starters from the sea. Our "Friturra Mista" is a classic crispy fried calamari, made even better with the addition of zucchini and artichokes. And for a unique, savory option, our "Guazzetto di Calamari" is sautéed in a delicious cherry tomato, garlic, and white wine sauce.
