" Overall, I would rate Chocolat Hillcrest as a solid choice for anyone craving some authentic Italian treats. Their menu is extensive, and though I only tried the pizza and a few desserts, I was impressed with the quality. The atmosphere was lively, a fun spot for hanging out with friends. Only downside was the wait time during peak hours, but it was manageable. I’d recommend going during off-peak times to enjoy it fully. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Chocolat Hillcrest last Saturday with my family, and we absolutely loved it! The ambiance was perfect for a family gathering, cozy yet lively. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the truffle risotto and a selection of crepes that were simply delicious. I especially enjoyed the pistachio gelato; it was smooth and rich. Service was prompt and friendly, and our waiter made great recommendations. Definitely a place we will return to! " (*Curated Review*)

" The crepes here are simply fantastic! My friends and I came by on a sunny Wednesday, and the outdoor seating was delightful. The staff was eager to make suggestions. I had the savory mushroom and cheese crepe, and it was mouthwatering. We ended our meal with gelato, and wow, what a great way to finish. Overall, it was a wonderful lunch experience, and I’ll come back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)
