" I visited DePalma's for the first time after hearing all the hype, and I'm glad I did! The garlic bread was divine and paired perfectly with our marinara sauce. For my main course, I had the Pasta DePalma, and it was loaded with flavor—definitely worth ordering! Although it took a little while for our food to arrive, the friendly service helped ease the wait. The atmosphere is welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a nice evening out. I am looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful spot! I went to DePalma's the other evening with some coworkers, and we were all impressed. I ordered the grilled salmon salad, and it was not only beautifully presented but also incredibly delicious. The flavors blended so well together, with the right amount of dressing. The atmosphere is charming and relaxed, making it an excellent place to unwind. We finished off with gelato, which was the perfect light dessert. Overall, a lovely experience—we're already planning our next outing! " (*Curated Review*)

" During a recent lunch visit, I ordered the Mediterranean pasta. While the portion was generous, the overall flavor fell short of what I anticipated. The ingredients felt fresh but the dish lacked the 'wow' factor that you expect from Italian cuisine. The service was friendly but a bit inattentive. I had to flag down my waiter for more water a couple of times. I think DePalma's has potential, but they just need to tighten up some areas for a better overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am thrilled I found DePalma's! The pasta dishes are hearty and delicious. I tried the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, and it was rich and creamy. The atmosphere was buzzing yet intimate, perfect for a group outing. Our server was charming, making the experience even better. Definitely a place to bring friends for a good meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" DePalma's is a mixed bag for me. Some visits have been great, while others not so much. The food is sometimes excellent, like the stuffed mushrooms and zucchini sticks, but my last pasta dish felt like it should have had more seasoning. I do enjoy the atmosphere and the general friendliness of the staff. I'm never deterred to come back, hoping that I’ll enjoy the meal next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes going into DePalma's based on all the glowing reviews, but my experience was a letdown. The food lacked the freshness and authenticity I was expecting. My penne arrabbiata was dull, and the sauce did not have the traditional kick; it was somewhat bland instead. The atmosphere was nice and cozy, but the service was a bit slow and unpolished. Perhaps I visited on an off day, but I doubt I would return anytime soon. For the quality I experienced, the price felt a bit steep. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about DePalma's! I had the Chicken Marsala, and it was so good that I was scraping my plate. The sauce had a deep flavor that paired well with the chicken. The environment was inviting, too, with lovely décor. I had a minor hiccup with waiting for the check, but overall, incredibly satisfied with the meal. I can't wait to try other items on the menu next time! " (*Curated Review*)
