" I recently celebrated my birthday at DePalma's with a group of friends, and I must say, it was an unforgettable evening. The ambiance is perfect for an intimate gathering, and the food was simply divine. I ordered the shrimp scampi, and it was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor, and came with generous portions. The staff was attentive and made us feel welcomed throughout the night. By the time dessert arrived, everyone was already raving about the chocolate lava cake. In my opinion, this restaurant deserves every bit of its stellar reputation. Cannot wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience at DePalma's left me wanting more. While the ambiance is charming, the food lacked the authentic flavors I was hoping for. The sauce on my pasta seemed very commercialized, and I was left disappointed. The service was not outstanding either, as we experienced a long wait for our food without much communication. I may give it another try, but I'd need to hear some great feedback first. " (*Curated Review*)

" DePalma's has become my go-to when I'm craving Italian. The lasagna is a must-try—it's packed with flavors and absolutely satisfying. The service is generally friendly, and the environment is cozy. However, I have noticed that during busy hours, the service can slow down a bit. Even with the occasional hiccup, I always leave satisfied and ready to return. The lunch specials are particularly great value, and I enjoy trying something new each time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been visiting DePalma's for over a decade, and I can confidently say that it remains consistently good! The pasta dishes are always delightful, and the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. I love how they incorporate seasonal ingredients into their specials. It’s a casual yet refined Italian dining experience that I've always cherished, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews, I finally tried DePalma's, and it did not disappoint! The spaghetti carbonara was one of the best I've ever had. The dish was rich without being overwhelming. I found the prices to be quite reasonable considering the quality of the food and the generous portions. My only complaint was that the wait for a table was longer than expected, but it was worth it in the end. I highly recommend checking this spot out if you're in the area—trust me, you'll be back!

" 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*)
