" Our recent visit to Crivello's was filled with culinary highs and a few noticeable lows. The initial impression was wonderful—the rustic décor and warm lighting set a lovely scene. The dining experience started off positively with a wonderful selection of wines. I had the lobster ravioli, which was delicious and filled with ample lobster, but my friend’s chicken marsala was overly bland and lacked the punch expected in this dish. Service was incredibly attentive, which made a difference. However, I believe consistency is key. I'll likely return, but with some caution. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our table ordered a variety of dishes, from appetizers to dessert, and everything was delicious! The bruschetta was topped with fresh tomatoes and herbs, and the tiramisu was a must-have for dessert. The only downside was we didn't choose to try the wine menu. The service was friendly and made sure we were comfortable throughout our meal. Will definitely come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem! My family and I visited Crivello's last week and our experience was fantastic. We shared several dishes and like every single one of them—from the arancini to the tiramisu, everything was incredible. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive, making our visit even more memorable. I would highly recommend trying this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for a great Italian spot, stop right here! The Calzone I tried was amazing, with a perfect crust and delicious cheeses. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations for both food and wine. I loved the atmosphere—it felt both welcoming and refined. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" On our way back from a trip, we stopped by Crivello’s and were pleasantly surprised with the experience! The lasagna was homemade and delicious. We were treated well by the staff, and I genuinely enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere. This could definitely be my new favorite restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" Quite an interesting experience! The food was decent, but the atmosphere was lacking a bit—too noisy for intimate conversations. I appreciated the quick service, but my entrée, a manicotti, tasted a bit bland, like it could have benefitted from more seasoning. I left feeling unsatisfied overall despite the good service. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful dinner! The calamari appetizer was crispy and well-seasoned. I ordered the manicotti, which was filled lovingly and topped with rich sauce. The atmosphere is delightful, perfect for family gatherings. Overall, the experience was rewarding, and I will happily visit again soon. " (*Curated Review*)
