" Had an incredible experience at Pauline's! The food was so authentic, each plate reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. The atmosphere was cozy and perfect for a date night. I appreciate that it’s BYOB too, which gives you the flexibility to enjoy your favorite wine with dinner. I especially loved the veal parm; it was genuinely melt-in-your-mouth tender! Will definitely be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I frequent Pauline's because we adore the authentic Italian taste. The polenta fries were a delightful appetizer, and the salmon dish I had for dinner was succulent! The ambiance evokes a casual yet charming feel. Although it can get crowded, the food and the friendly service make every visit worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Pauline’s last night and the food was simply amazing! I had the homemade lasagna, and it was rich and flavorful. I appreciate that the chef introduced himself and shared his passion for Italian cuisine. The only issue was the long wait for our food. Other than that, everything was spot on! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have eaten at many Italian restaurants but this one truly feels like home. The chef personally came to our table to see how we enjoyed our meal, which was a nice touch. I have to say the lasagna blew my mind! You can taste the love and attention that goes into every dish. It’s a little pricey, but definitely worth it for the quality. Can’t wait to go back with more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pauline's was delightful; I ordered the seafood special. The fish was fresh and cooked perfectly. The staff was courteous, but it felt like they could have been more attentive. Overall, the meal was fantastic; however, I did notice the prices creeping up compared to previous visits. Still, I'd return any day for the quality. " (*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*)
