" Came here after hearing great things from a friend. The first impression was good. The service was friendly and the place was clean. I ordered the meatball sub, and while it was tasty, I was a bit disappointed with the amount of meat. The bread was fantastic, but for the price, I expected a little more filling. The atmosphere is nice, could use some more Italian music though. I might give it another try for the pizza. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to OIP for the first time and was not disappointed. The food was fresh and tasted like something straight from Italy. I had the fettuccine Alfredo and it was creamy and rich. The service was impeccable and the ambiance made for a lovely evening out! Definitely holding this restaurant close to my heart, looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited really hoping to find a good Italian restaurant and the reviews seemed promising. Unfortunately, the food was not what I expected at all. My eggplant parm lacked flavor and was a bit undercooked. The atmosphere was nice but when I told the server about my dish, she seemed indifferent. Perhaps it was just an off day, but I was expecting more authenticity from a restaurant with such a name. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love dining here! The ambiance is cozy, and their lasagna is one of the best I've ever had. It's rich and flavorful with just the right amount of cheese. Our server was very attentive and made great recommendations. Highly recommend this place for a casual night out! I'll definitely be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Completely underwhelmed by my experience. The pizza was burnt on the edges and lacked toppings. I brought it to the server's attention, but they seemed unbothered. The atmosphere was nice, but the food quality severely lacked. I wouldn't recommend it based on this visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I stopped in on a whim for dinner. We ordered a pepperoni pizza and an order of garlic knots. The pizza was truly authentic with a slightly sweet sauce that we loved! The garlic knots were fresh and fluffy, perfect for dipping. Service was quick and staff was friendly. We'll definitely keep this restaurant in our regular date night rotation! Highly recommend their pasta dishes as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were looking for a place to celebrate a family reunion, and I stumbled upon this gem! The staff was incredibly accommodating and even prepared a family-style meal for us, which was fabulous! Every dish was made fresh, from the garlic knots to the chicken Parmesan. The environment was warm and welcoming, with tasteful décor that made us feel like we were truly in Italy. I highly recommend their seafood pasta for its freshness and flavor! A lovely experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)
