" Enjoyed Italian dinner with my friends. The ambiance at Pauline's was fantastic, making for a cozy gathering. The osso buco was delicious, and I appreciated the wine pairing suggestion from our server. The only downside was the wait for the bill; it took longer than expected. But overall, I left feeling satisfied. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a hidden gem! The ambiance is romantic, and it's a great place for a special occasion. Our server was knowledgeable and provided great suggestions. The osso bucco stole my heart with its tender meat! Glad to discover a local Italian spot that feels authentic. Very pleased with my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated our anniversary at Pauline's and it was wonderful! Authentic Italian cuisine with flavors that take you back to Italy. We felt like we were dining in a little piece of Italy. The team was very accommodating, and the owner even came to chat with us about the menu. The only downside was the dessert; I expected more from the tiramisu. Regardless, an overall great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pauline's was everything I hoped for and more! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance felt warm and inviting. Our server was attentive without being intrusive. The food? Truly authentic Italian! Each bite from the penne vodka to the tiramisu was delightful. I also loved that it’s a BYOB! The only downside was finding parking, but the food was worth the challenge. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pauline's is where I go for a taste of Italy! The ravioli was exquisite, pockets of pure deliciousness. The service is cheerful, and I loved the vibe of the place, perfect for an intimate dinner or family gathering. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food you receive. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first experience at Pauline's and it left a great impression! The authentic flavors in every dish were delightful. We tried a variety of appetizers and there wasn't a single dish that disappointed. The service was friendly, though it could have been quicker, especially on a busy night. I'd highly recommend trying this spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Pauline’s for a birthday celebration, and I have to say it lived up to its reputation! The staff was so accommodating, and you can tell that everyone takes pride in their work. The fried calamari was excellent, but our main meals could have benefited from a bit more seasoning. Overall, a lovely experience. " (*Curated Review*)
