" Last week, I had dinner at Ruby's with some friends, and while we had a good time, I was a bit disappointed with the food. The pizza was decent but not what I would call authentic Italian. I expected a crisp crust and flavorful sauce, but it fell flat. On the plus side, our server was fantastic and very accommodating, making sure we were satisfied. The atmosphere was lively, and I could see why it’s a popular spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience did not meet my expectations based on the reviews I had read. The marinara sauce tasted straight from a can, and my pasta was mushy. However, the staff were polite and helpful, which was appreciated. I don’t think I would return unless I heard of significant changes in the kitchen. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hey! I just finished dinner here at Ruby's, and wow, what a pleasant experience. The server was nice and checked in often. I had the stuffed shells, and my friend had pizza. The iced tea was strong, and service was surprisingly quick. I'll gladly recommend this place to anyone craving genuine Italian flavors. I can see why everyone loves this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want authentic Italian food, Ruby's is the place to be! The veal parmesan was wonderfully tender and packed with flavor. The portion sizes were generous, leaving me fully satisfied without feeling stuffed. The staff was extremely cordial, making the whole dining experience enjoyable. Don't forget to save room for dessert—the tiramisu is a must! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Ruby's last week for the first time and was surprised by the charming decor and inviting atmosphere. I had the spaghetti aglio e olio, which was simple yet delicious. While the meal was tasty, I felt it could use a bit more punch in flavor. The service was exceptional with attentive staff checking in regularly. I think the next time I dine here, I’ll try the calzone that everyone raves about. " (*Curated Review*)

" Surprisingly good meal! I was in town and decided to try Ruby's. I ordered the shrimp scampi, and it was just bursting with flavor! The garlic knots were melt-in-the-mouth delicious. Great service, too! Overall, Ruby's has definitely earned its spot as a local favorite and I will for sure be back next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Loved my experience at Ruby's! The gnocchi was light and fluffy, exactly how it should be. The service was attentive but not overbearing, making the meal all the more enjoyable. The atmosphere was casual yet lively, perfect for a fun night out with friends. Can't wait to come back for more of their fabulous food! " (*Curated Review*)
