" I had dinner here with my family last Saturday, and it was amazing! The pasta was homemade, which made such a difference in flavor. We ordered the Alfredo and the Penne Arrabbiata, and both were delectable. The service was friendly, and our server made excellent wine recommendations. The atmosphere was perfect for a family dinner—quiet, yet elegant. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Found this spot by chance during a trip to Tijuana and I must say, what a delightful surprise! The ambiance was intimate yet casual, making it perfect for both date night and friendly gatherings. I ordered the calamari and it was the best I've tasted—lightly breaded and not oily at all. My partner enjoyed the seafood pasta, which he raved about. Every dish we had tasted authentic and well-prepared. The dessert selection was also impressive, although we were too full to indulge. We will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden gem! I visited last week and fell in love with their chilaquiles, especially the spicy chipotle version. It was served hot and fresh, bursting with flavor. The ambiance is very relaxed, perfect for a brunch catch-up with friends. The only downside was that it took a bit longer than expected for our food to arrive, but it was worth the wait. I can't wait to come back and try more of their breakfast options. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard so much about Merlot Bistro, and it did not disappoint! The service was impeccable, with our server checking in regularly to ensure we were satisfied. I tried the margarita pizza and was impressed by how fresh and flavorful it was. It felt authentic and not overly greasy like some places. The only issue was the wait time for a table on a Saturday night—make sure to reserve ahead. Overall, had a wonderful experience here! " (*Curated Review*)

" The best dining experience in Tijuana! The salads are incredibly fresh—not your average salad! The Greek salad is a must-try, especially with shrimp. I also enjoyed their wood-fired pizza, which had the perfect crust. Definitely prioritizing this place for my next visit. However, I found the bathroom to be less than pristine, which was a bit disappointing in an otherwise luxurious setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Was recommended this place by a friend, and they were right! The pasta selection is wonderful, especially the seafood options. I ordered the lobster penne, and it was divine. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and it arrived hot and fresh. The place has a cozy atmosphere just right for a catch-up chat. My only criticism was the slow service—our drinks took a while to arrive, but our server was kind and apologetic. I would go back for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Everything about this restaurant was spot on! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and warm. The garlic bread was out of this world—as were the pastas we tried! I had the chicken fettuccine alfredo, which was creamy and delicious. I also appreciated the portion sizes; they were quite generous! Our server was friendly and made great recommendations. I can't wait to return and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
