" I was really optimistic about dining here, having heard many great reviews. The service was polite, and the restaurant was nicely renovated, giving it a fresh feel. However, I noticed some of my favorite dishes were missing from the menu. The chicken parmesan we had was good, but not exceptional. The portion for the price left something to be desired. I'd be open to trying this place again, but management should reconsider their pricing strategy. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to take the family out to Parasson’s after hearing about the reopening. The experience was underwhelming overall. While they are famous for their garlic bread, I found it to be somewhat bland compared to what I remembered. The service was a bit slow despite the restaurant not being overly crowded. We tried several dishes, and while decent, they didn’t hold a candle to the quality I recall. I will give it another shot in the future, but I think they still have some kinks to work out. " (*Curated Review*)

" It's a sad day when a childhood favorite goes downhill. My family and I visited recently hoping for the same great taste from years past. What we found were smaller portions and higher prices. The menu has changed so much that my favorite dishes were gone. While the atmosphere remains pleasant, the food quality does not match the nostalgia. I don’t think I’ll be returning any time soon unless some serious changes happen. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Parasson’s was like stepping back into my childhood. The interior has been beautifully refreshed, yet it retains the charm of the original restaurant. The staff was courteous despite being busy, and the food did not disappoint — that creamy Italian dressing is still as good as I remembered! My only complaint is that portions seem slightly smaller these days. Overall, a delightful dining experience that reminded me why I loved this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to visit Parasson's after a long time and was glad they were finally able to serve again dining-in. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was friendly. The only issue was the time we had to wait to be seated. When we finally got to our table, the food was decent. The marinara sauce on the pasta was flavorful, but the portion sizes weren't quite what I remembered. I hope they are able to return to their former glory — It’s a local treasure that deserves it! " (*Curated Review*)

" It’s so great to have a piece of my childhood back! Visiting Parasson’s, I noticed that the menu has slightly changed, but the essence is still intact. The flavorful marinara sauce with the pasta still hits the spot. I was apprehensive about the service based on reviews, but ours was attentive and cheerful. The pricing did raise my eyebrows, but overall, it was a lovely evening out with the family. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent experience at Parasson’s left me feeling quite disappointed. While the restaurant’s decor was inviting, I felt that the food quality was lacking. My baked ziti was greasy and did not taste fresh, and there was a significant increase in price. I could sense my childhood nostalgia faltering, and the lunch we had did not give me the satisfaction I was hoping for. I may not return unless reviews improve. " (*Curated Review*)
