" I stumbled upon Papa Sal's during a food trip, and it did not disappoint! The cannoli was a pleasant surprise—crispy shell with a rich filling. I also loved the chicken piccata; it had a delightful lemony flavor that didn’t overpower the dish. The service was quick, and the ambiance was casual and inviting, perfect for families or a date night. I look forward to returning to try more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am quite the Italian cuisine enthusiast and often try to find the best spots in town. I would have to say that Papa Sal's has surprised me. The pasta dishes are undoubtedly authentic, and the flavors resonate with Italian cooking traditions. The gnocchi were fluffy, and I was thrilled with the robust tomato sauce that came with it. Don't overlook their house-made dressings for your salad—they're fantastic! The ambiance could be improved, but the food more than makes up for it. Highly recommend for any pasta lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I adore the laid-back vibe of Papa Sal's, my recent visit left me slightly underwhelmed. The fettuccine alfredo was a tad too creamy for my taste, which overshadowed the flavor of the chicken. I noticed it is a hit-or-miss type of place depending on what you order—I’ll probably stick to their reliable pizzas next time. The service was fine, but I felt we had to wait too long for our food. " (*Curated Review*)

" My daughter insisted we eat here as she loves Italian food. I have to admit; the food was quite good! I ordered the baked ziti, and it was cheesy and delicious. The portion sizes are great for the price. However, we did have to wait quite a while for our food, which was a downside. But the staff was friendly and accommodating. " (*Curated Review*)

" Papa Sal's is a treasure! The pizza is arguably the best I've tasted outside of Italy! The crust is thin but sturdy, and the toppings are always fresh. I had the pepperoni and mushroom, and it was loaded with toppings. The service was friendly, and we enjoyed sitting outside under the stars. Make sure to try the garlic bread; it's heavenly! This place has officially become our go-to spot for pizza! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is such a gem! I enjoy the food here each time we visit. The quality of the ingredients shines through, particularly in their sauces. I've ventured into trying several different dishes, and they've all been delightful! The only drawback is that it can get a bit crowded, but the lively atmosphere is part of the charm. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rough experience at Papa Sal's last week. The food didn't taste fresh, and I felt like I was eating a version of frozen pizza. The staff was nice, but I had to wait a long time for my food to arrive even with a smaller crowd that evening. I hope this is a one-time issue. " (*Curated Review*)
