" We visited L'inizio for a casual lunch, and while the atmosphere is nice, I felt the menu was limited. The quiche was delightful, but the sandwich we ordered was not very impressive. I believe better options could be provided to elevate the lunch experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" L'inizio has become my favorite Italian spot. The quality of the ingredients shines through in every dish. The octopus was flavorful and perfectly grilled; it was a can't-miss appetizer! However, the pasta portions could use a little boost for a more substantial meal. The atmosphere is inviting and perfect for casual dining with friends. I look forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit L'inizio, I am in awe of how delicious the dishes are. This place has a unique charm and the food is prepared with such precision and care. The pasta is fresh and the sauces are packed with flavor. I particularly enjoyed the squid ink pasta, it was just divine! The staff members are polite and attentive, making sure that our experience was beautiful from start to finish. Definitely coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried L'inizio during a busy weekend and was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of the staff. The restaurant itself has a cozy atmosphere with beautiful decor. I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana and it was fabulous! The chicken was tender, and the marinara sauce was perfect. However, I felt the portion could have been slightly larger for the price point. My dessert, the chocolate cake, was a delightful finish. I'd recommend making a reservation to ensure a table! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I visited L’inizio for dinner and we were blown away. The cozy interior sets the stage for a memorable dining experience. The menu offered unique Italian dishes, and everything we ordered was superb! The seafood pasta was packed with flavor and generous portions of shrimp. However, I felt that the dessert, while delicious, was served a bit too small for the price. Nonetheless, we had a fantastic time and left satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)

" L'inizio offers a fantastic selection of Italian dishes. Their herb-infused calamari were the highlight of my meal. The main course was delicious, but the portion size was somewhat small. The atmosphere was intimate and inviting—the perfect place for a date night. Overall, I would say it’s worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed a great evening at L'inizio. The service was friendly, but we waited a bit longer than usual for our meals. The bruschetta was vibrant and fresh, but I was slightly disappointed in the main course being underwhelming compared to the expectations. The ambiance was lovely, definitely a great setting for any occasion. " (*Curated Review*)
