" I had a rather disappointing experience at Cafe Vesuvio. The cheeseburger I ordered was tasteless and the portion was smaller than I anticipated. To make matters worse, our waiter was rather forgetful. It took ages to get our drinks refilled and we were left waiting for our check. I hope their Italian dishes are better than what we had. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful dining experience at Cafe Vesuvio! The tomato basil soup was rich and fulfilling. I followed it up with the shrimp scampi that was cooked to perfection, and paired wonderfully with garlic bread. The service was quick, and the atmosphere added to the quaint, authentic vibe of the restaurant. I will surely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was looking forward to trying Cafe Vesuvio based on the reviews I read, but my experience was underwhelming. I ordered the ravioli which tasted like it was pre-frozen, and I didn't get that homemade feel you expect from an Italian restaurant. The atmosphere was decent, but I wouldn’t recommend it based on my meal alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has been on my list for a while and it did not disappoint. I had the stuffed shells, and each bite was filled with flavor. The staff was so welcoming and attentive. The dessert menu looked fantastic, and I couldn't resist trying the cannoli. It was the cherry on top of a wonderful evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a great find! My friends and I went for dinner and were thoroughly impressed. We shared different appetizers and the chicken parm, which was to die for! The atmosphere was cozy, making it perfect for a gathering. Our server Jeremy was lively and made the experience even better. Would recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high hopes for Cafe Vesuvio, I left feeling a bit unimpressed. The lasagna was just okay, lacking the depth of flavor I expected. The service was decent, but it took a while to get our order, and the place was a little noisy. Not sure if I would visit again unless I heard better things about the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had high expectations but was somewhat disappointed. The chicken parmesan was average, and I didn't find anything particularly exceptional about it. The service was decent, but nothing to rave about. I might give it another try and order something else next time. " (*Curated Review*)
