" I had a brunch date at The Great Impasta, and it was such a delightful experience! I ordered a frittata with spinach and cheese and it was delicious, though slightly on the small side. The service was attentive, and the environment was welcoming. I leaned towards lunch dishes next time and would likely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last evening, I decided to try The Great Impasta after hearing several friends rave about it. Upon arrival, I noticed the cozy decor; it's a nice change from typical dining spots. I ordered the lemon caper prawns linguine and a side salad. The dish was flavorful, and the prawns were cooked perfectly. However, I found the price to be a bit steep at $24 for pasta. While the serving was large enough to feed two, I do think they could adjust their pricing slightly to be more accommodating. Overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at The Great Impasta last weekend with friends. The atmosphere was vibrant and inviting. We shared a variety of pasta dishes, and I must say the pesto rigatoni was the highlight of the meal! Flavorful and perfectly cooked, it definitely stood out. The portions were quite generous, and we left with enough leftovers for another meal. The staff was attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. I will definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Great Impasta was a delightful surprise! I was particularly impressed by their mushroom marsala penne. The flavors were bold and rich, reminding me of homemade Italian dinners. The quality of ingredients really reflected in the taste. The ambiance was cozy, making it perfect for a date night. The price was a little higher than average but given the quality, it felt justified. My partner and I left very satisfied and happy to have discovered this gem. We’re already planning our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for The Great Impasta based on recommendations but left feeling underwhelmed. I ordered a pasta bowl with meatballs and it didn't have enough flavor. Moreover, the meatballs felt pre-packaged. It's a cute restaurant overall, and the staff seemed friendly, but they need to up their game in terms of flavor and authenticity. Honestly, I probably won’t be returning any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful lunch at The Great Impasta, I ordered the chicken mushroom marsala penne which was fantastic! The flavors reminded me of my grandmother's cooking. The atmosphere was truly cozy, and I couldn't get enough of the complimentary bread with dipping oils. The staff was very attentive. I cannot wait to come back to try more from their delicious menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at The Great Impasta. While the ambiance was charming and the service was friendly, I found the pasta dishes to be a little underwhelming. I ordered a marinara spaghetti and while the sauce had a decent flavor, it lacked the freshness I was hoping for. The portion was large, and I appreciated that, but I feel there are better Italian spots that have a stronger focus on authentic flavors. I might give it another try, but I can’t say I'm eager to return immediately. " (*Curated Review*)
