" Grand Ticino is certainly a charming location! First, I will mention the ambiance because it truly feels Italian. We started with an antipasto platter which was gorgeous and so fresh. I opted for the gnocchi for my main and though it was good, it didn't have the flavors that really pop like I had hoped. Our server was attentive throughout our meal. All in all, it was a pleasant experience and I may return to try another dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Grand Ticino based on recommendations but walked away a bit let down. The food was acceptable, with the pasta being the star of the meal, but the service didn’t match the quality of the food. We were left waiting too long for simple things during our meal, which affected our overall experience. The atmosphere is bright and cheery, but I do think some improvements are needed on the service front. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t believe I waited this long to try Grand Ticino! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We started with bruschetta, which was made with the freshest tomatoes and herbs. For the main course, I had the lobster ravioli, and it was absolutely divine. My partner tried the eggplant parmesan and loved it. Our server was attentive without being intrusive. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and we’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Grand Ticino was memorable for all the right reasons. The mozzarella sticks were so fresh and paired with a delightful basil aioli. I loved how attentive our waiter was throughout the meal, encouraging us to try new cocktails that complemented our dishes. I ordered the seafood pasta, which was truly a delight, but the portion was on the smaller side for the price. The ambiance reminded me of dining in charming Italian cities, making it a lovely escape. I would definitely return, although I’d keep an eye on portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited last month and was thrilled with my experience at Grand Ticino! The garlic bread is a must-try; it's perfect for sharing or for enjoying solo! I had the specialty pasta of the day and was impressed by the freshness of the ingredients and the portions. Service was friendly, although a bit slower than I would have liked. However, I can overlook that for a great meal. The cozy ambiance makes it a great spot for a casual dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food itself was good, I found the overall experience to be just okay. The restaurant was packed, which contributed to a noisy atmosphere. I enjoyed the pizza, which was tasty, but I felt like the service could have been better. Our server seemed overwhelmed and made some mistakes with our orders. The ambiance could be improved with better seating arrangements to manage noise levels as well. I wish I had a better experience based on its reputation. " (*Curated Review*)

" It's hard to find an Italian restaurant that feels genuine, but Grand Ticino does a great job. The interiors and the menu reflect a love for authentic Italian cuisine. Their pizza is thin crust, not at all greasy, with a wonderful array of toppings. I had the margherita, which tasted fresh and flavorful. The only downside was the wait time, which was a bit longer than expected on a busy Saturday. Still, it was worth it for the delicious food and casual vibe. I’ll likely come again with family next time. " (*Curated Review*)
