" While I appreciate The Black Italian's commitment to quality, I found some dishes to be lacking in flavor. The chicken was quite dry, and the pasta lacked seasoning. However, they have a great selection of dishes, and the staff were friendly and eager to help. It could have just been a bad day for the kitchen. I might give it another try, but I would recommend asking for extra sauce! " (*Curated Review*)

" The vibe at The Black Italian is casual yet elegant. I loved how friendly the staff was while maintaining professionalism. The food was delightful and carefully presented. However, I felt the dishes needed a bit more seasoning to fully highlight the ingredients used. Overall, it was a lovely evening for dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit skeptical about trying The Black Italian, but I'm so glad I did! The food is hearty and comforting, just like a home-cooked meal. I had the grilled chicken with garlic pasta and it was heavenly. The service was also commendable with friendly staff who made our visit enjoyable. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is pretty good, but I was hoping for something a bit more authentic. The service was friendly enough, but the waitress forgot my drink order and I had to remind her. The decor is nice and cozy, which made the wait easier. I might give them another shot though—maybe I just caught them on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is truly delightful! From the minute you walk in, the atmosphere feels homely and inviting. We ordered a variety of dishes, and I must say, each one was exquisite. The penne with vodka sauce was rich and creamy, while the meatballs were bursting with flavor. The service was attentive without being intrusive. I didn’t want to leave! The prices are reasonable for such high quality and I cannot wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, the flavorful dishes and lively atmosphere of The Black Italian left me impressed. The meal I had was delightful, featuring beautifully cooked pasta. However, I felt that my dish could’ve used a bit more seasoning. Nonetheless, the staff was friendly and attentive, and I look forward to trying new dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been here several times since discovering this gem! The Black Italian has the most authentic and delicious Italian food around. Their pizza is outstanding, and so is the creamy garlic pasta! The prices are fair for the quality of food you receive. The atmosphere is casual but cozy, making it great for a family dinner. Highly recommend trying this place! " (*Curated Review*)
