" Overall, I enjoyed my visit. Although the food was good, I thought it could be better compared to other Italian places I have visited. Service was very attentive, and the ambiance is lovely. Would recommend giving it a try, especially for casual dining with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came in for lunch just before the crowd, and I was very impressed! The space has a relaxed vibe that's perfect for unwinding. I went with the Cacio e Pepe, and wow! So simple yet so flavorful! The pasta was cooked al dente and there was just the right amount of cheese. The portion was generous too. The only downside was the service was slightly slow, as it took a while to get my bill. Otherwise, great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had dinner at Sauce, and I believe this is what Italian dining is all about! The garlic bread was the perfect start to our meal, followed by the classic spaghetti Bolognese. Each bite reminded me of the home-cooked meals my grandmother used to make. The ambiance was cozy, and our server was really attentive without being intrusive. While it was busy, we never felt rushed. I can't wait to come back for their famous pizza! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place to grab a quick bite! I love their thin crust pizza and garlic knots. Everything was fresh, and the atmosphere was buzzing. We were in and out pretty quickly, which is perfect for a lunch break in the city. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great slice! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Sauce Restaurant! The atmosphere is relaxed yet stylish, perfect for a nice night out. Their garlic bread is a must. I had the Bolognese and could hardly finish it due to the generous portions! Would highly recommend to all my friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my meal at Sauce based on all the positive reviews, but I left a bit disappointed. The ambiance is wonderful, but I found the pasta bland and not very authentic. Service was decent, although I felt a bit neglected at times. I might consider trying their pizza next time to see if it's better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Despite hearing mixed reviews about the service, I found it quite pleasant! The pasta I ordered was decent, though I wish it had more seasoning. The environment was lively, and I appreciated how they played some modern music while still keeping it classy. I might give the place another try, especially for the pizza! " (*Curated Review*)
