" Okay, I just had to write this review after my second visit. The fettuccine alfredo was incredible! I am very picky about my pasta, and De Nunno did not disappoint. The cheese was perfectly melted, and the pasta was fresh and tasted homemade. The staff really made me feel welcomed; they even suggested other dishes to try based on my preferences. The portions are generous for the price. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by—you won’t regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, as someone who has traveled extensively in Italy, I was thrilled to find this place. The platform of having fresh pasta options is an absolute plus. I had the ragu alla bolognese and it was near perfection—rich, savory, and authentic. One thing that impressed me was how attentive the staff was, ensuring that I was satisfied every step of the way. The atmosphere is laid-back but inviting. It felt like a little piece of Italy right in the food court, which is quite unexpected. I recommend it without reservation! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! I stumbled upon this treasure while shopping, and I couldn't be more satisfied. The carbonara was rich and creamy, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. You can actually see them preparing everything fresh behind the counter, and that made the experience even better. The staff was friendly and attentive. I'm already planning my next visit, and I can't wait to try the tiramisu next time. Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is hidden in the UTC food court, but let me tell you, it’s worth the search! I had the best gluten-free pasta here. The textures and flavors were just right. I could taste how fresh the ingredients were, which is sometimes hard to find. Staff was nice and made recommendations enthusiastically. Next time I’m going to bring my kids—they’d love the fun of building their own pasta dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" For a mall food court, De Nunno truly delivers! The pasta is fresh and flavors are genuine. I particularly enjoyed the mushroom ravioli. The staff is friendly and just attentive enough for a quick meal. I’d recommend checking it out if you’re in the area. I’m planning another visit soon to try their signature dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wish I had the great experience others seem to have. I ordered lasagna, expecting something authentic, but it felt like it was made with cheap ingredients—definitely not the homemade vibe I was hoping for. Service was decent, but the food fell flat for me. Don’t think I’ll be coming back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited De Nunno and it was a pleasant surprise. The fresh flavors of the sauces made a huge difference! I tried the signature creamy mushroom with sausage—the perfect comfort food. The portion sizes are satisfying too and I left feeling full but not overly stuffed. The atmosphere was cozy, ideal for a meal after shopping. Can’t wait to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
