" Dinner at Ristorante Caterina de’ Medici was a highlight of my culinary adventures. The attention to detail reflected in each plate was impressive. The seafood was fresh, and the pasta dishes were comforting yet sophisticated. The student staff was friendly, though a little inexperienced. The ambiance really transported me to a charming Italian villa – what a treat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dinner here was decent but not life-changing. While the staff was friendly, the execution of some dishes was lacking. The ambiance was appealing, but it didn’t fully compensate for the food experience. I’m glad to support a culinary school, but I’ll think twice before returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were excited to dine here, but it felt a bit disorganized. Although the food was decent and tasted good, the wait times were too long. We had to remind the servers about our appetizers, and our entrees were served lukewarm. The decor was charming, but I expected more given the rave reviews. We may not return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" An impressive dining experience! The restaurant has a charming Tuscany theme and their open kitchen gave us views of the culinary students hard at work. The meal was beautifully plated, and while some dishes did have minor flaws, overall the food was delightful. The ambiance was perfect for both casual and fine dining occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" The restaurant had great reviews but I found it lacking. The atmosphere was fine, but the food didn’t have the freshness or excitement I expected. My lasagna was on the oily side and not quite hot enough. The service was slow, and as much as I wanted to enjoy my meal, I find my expectations remain unmet. It was okay, but I would explore other options first. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious Italian cuisine at its finest! The fresh pasta was incredible – so light and full of flavor. I experienced a bit of a wait for my main dish, but it was completely worth it. The ambiance made up for it; a wonderful place to spend an evening. The staff was attentive and friendly, especially given they are still learning. A true gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" An average experience overall. The food was decent, but there was a lack of authenticity in flavors, and I felt the dishes could have been executed better. The students did their best, but there were notable gaps in service. I enjoyed the ambiance very much, and I hope they continue to improve. " (*Curated Review*)
