" I finally visited The Great Impasta after months of hearing such great things and was not disappointed! The eggplant parmesan was divine! The layering of flavors was truly authentic, and you could tell everything was fresh and well-prepared. My only gripe was that the wait was a bit long during peak hours. Staff was friendly and attentive, which helped ease my impatience. Overall, I highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to The Great Impasta was very disappointing. The lasagna was dry and lacked flavor. I had heard such wonderful reviews, so I was shocked. The atmosphere was nice, and the staff friendly, but the main dish was underwhelming. I’m worried that they’ve lost their touch since the last time I ate here, which was quite enjoyable. I'm not sure if I'll return anytime soon unless I hear better feedback. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What a dining experience! From the moment I walked in, the cozy feel of the restaurant put me in a great mood. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming. I ordered the gnocchi in pepper sauce, and it was simply divine! The gnocchi were soft, fluffy, and had the perfect amount of sauce. I also tried the artichoke cream soup, which was thick and hearty. I left with my stomach full and a smile on my face. Highly recommend for anyone seeking amazing Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeout from The Great Impasta expecting quality Italian food based on my previous visits. This time, I was pretty disappointed. The rigatoni was drowned in sauce, making it overly salty. While the portion was generous, I couldn't enjoy the dish fully due to the overwhelming flavor. On the brighter side, the garlic bread was perfect. It's great for takeout, but I think I'd stick to dining in to have a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is such a hidden gem! I love their variety, and every dish I tried has been delicious from the classic spaghetti and meatballs to their unique pasta market specials. The staff takes great care of their customers, ensuring a pleasant experience all around. I am definitely coming back! " (*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*)
