" While I didn't expect much given the small-town vibes, I was wowed by the level of quality at Crave. They made a chicken a la vodka that tasted as good as I’ve had in Italy. The service was prompt, yet I did notice it got busy toward dinner time. The atmosphere was pleasant and certainly low-key enough for families to come. I do think they have room for improvement, particularly with the dessert options, but I’ll recommend it all the same. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided to celebrate a birthday at Crave, and it was a delightful experience. From the starters to the desserts, everything was well-prepared and pleasing to the palate. The servers were knowledgeable and recommended some excellent wine pairings too! My husband enjoyed the ribeye while I had the tortellini, and both dishes were exceptional. I would definitely recommend visiting Crave if you want a memorable meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had a lovely experience at Crave. I went in on a weekday evening, and I was impressed with how cozy the atmosphere was. The server was pleasant, but the food took a little while to come out, which made me a bit anxious. However, when the lasagna finally reached me, it was worth the wait! My only complaint would be the cost, as it was a bit pricey for the portion size. Still, everything else was quite satisfactory. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Crave while passing through Sparta. Despite it being busy, we were seated quickly. I ordered the Chicken Alfredo, and while it was decent, I found it a bit bland for my taste. The service was attentive and friendly, which helped elevate my experience. Overall, I think I would return but would like to explore more of the menu, especially their pizza options which looked enticing! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this place! Crave really brings the flavor in their dishes! My veal parmesan was excellent, and I just couldn't get enough of that marinara sauce! I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portions as well. The service was attentive without being overbearing. A pleasant dining experience that I can't wait to repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved the pizza at Crave! The crust was crispy, and there was no shortage of toppings, just how I like it. When I asked for recommendations, the staff were helpful and helped us choose a few appetizers to share, which were also delicious. The ambiance was nice, it felt intimate without being too cramped. Perfect for date night! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dining experience at Crave was very memorable. I had the grilled chicken salad, and it was on par with any high-end restaurant. The portion size was generous for the price. The relaxed atmosphere made it a great place for conversation. The staff is knowledgeable and genuinely cares about customer satisfaction, making me want to return very soon! " (*Curated Review*)
