" Much hype for a restaurant that didn’t live up to expectations. The pasta dishes were bland and tasteless, definitely not authentic Italian. Service was too slow, and they didn’t seem too attentive to our needs. The atmosphere was nice but it didn’t compensate for the mediocre food. I would not recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I couldn’t believe how good the eggplant parmesan was! My partner had the stuffed pasta and he was also impressed with the flavors. We both agree that La Ginestra is now our favorite Italian spot in the area, and the friendly staff only adds to the charm. Looking forward to our next meal there! " (*Curated Review*)

" I liked the food but was put off by how long it took to get my order taken. Once I finally got my shrimp pasta, it was quite tasty, but I believe they could improve their service efficiency. Nice ambiance and good food, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Ginestra right after hearing good reviews from friends. The establishment had a warm atmosphere and was bustling with customers, which is always a good sign. I went for the spaghetti carbonara, which was decent but not what I expected. It lacked the rich flavor I had hoped for, and while the service was friendly, it was a bit slow. I plan to give it another shot; perhaps next time I’ll opt for pizza instead. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough about the pizza at La Ginestra! Truly some of the best I've ever had. The crust is thin yet perfectly crispy, and I love how they use high-quality ingredients. The staff is friendly, creating an inviting environment. " (*Curated Review*)

" I regret not coming to La Ginestra sooner! Our meal was spectacular, from the starters to the delightful dessert. The staff made us feel like family, and you could tell they genuinely care. Can't wait to explore more of their menu selections. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my visit, but there's some improvement needed regarding the service speed. The food, on the other hand, was delightful and abundant! The pizza has a fresh, homemade taste that one could only find in Italy! " (*Curated Review*)
