" I visited the Cafe Calamari last week and while the calamari was as good as everyone said, I was a bit underwhelmed by the black pepper fettuccine. The pasta felt a bit dry, and I was expecting it to be creamier. The overall atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff were friendly, which improved my experience immensely. I'd try it again but with different choices on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Calamari has become my go-to place for Mediterranean cuisine! From the moment you step in, you are welcomed with a warm, friendly atmosphere. The staff are always attentive, which adds to the dining experience. I can't get enough of their rice pudding—it’s a must-try! I've been here several times now and every dish has been as good as the last. If you appreciate authentic flavors, this place is a gem. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! The moment we entered, we were greeted with genuine smiles. The decor was charming and set a lovely tone for the evening. We ordered a seafood platter that included calamari, octopus, and shrimp, all expertly prepared. Each bite was fresh and flavorful. The only hiccup was that our drinks took a while to arrive, but our waitstaff were friendly throughout. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a beautiful place! The calamari and the desserts really stood out for me. Their künefe was out of this world! The service was good but the wait for food was a bit long. Nonetheless, the flavors were worth the wait. I would return but perhaps at a less busy time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family visited Cafe Calamari and it did not disappoint! The food was fantastic with a great selection of seafood. I loved the calamari and my husband couldn’t get enough of the branzino. The staff was accommodating in catering to our younger child’s preferences. A wonderful family-friendly spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unforgettable experience! We were blown away by how delicious everything was. We ordered a mix of dishes and didn't find a single one that we didn't like. The service was prompt and friendly, which made it all the more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back to dive into more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am not one to typically provide reviews, but my experience at Cafe Calamari compelled me to share! The friendly staff went above and beyond; they remembered our names and preferences from our last visit! It’s the little things that make a dining experience exceptional. The food? Absolutely scrumptious, particularly the calamari! " (*Curated Review*)
