" We visited DePalma's for dinner last weekend and ordered the bruschetta and pasta dishes. The bruschetta was freshly prepared and tasted like summer on a plate! The pasta was nicely al dente but lacked a bit of seasoning. Service was friendly, although we felt somewhat rushed once the dining room filled up. The ambiance is charming and makes you feel like you're in Italy. I'll certainly be back—perhaps I just need to choose the right dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to check out DePalma's after hearing rave reviews, and we were not disappointed! The variety of pasta dishes available was impressive. I opted for the shrimp scampi, which was well-seasoned and abundant. However, our food took a bit longer to arrive than expected, especially for a Sunday afternoon. But the staff was friendly and kept us updated during our wait, which was nice. Overall, I would definitely recommend this cafe for anyone craving genuine Italian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" When you walk into DePalma's, the fragrant aroma is nothing short of inviting! The service was swift, and we were seated fairly quickly despite the bustling atmosphere. I tried the stuffed mushrooms and the pasta with homemade marinara sauce, both of which were absolutely delightful. Each dish felt like a warm hug. I can't wait to return and bring more friends along. This restaurant is undoubtedly a must-visit in Tuscaloosa! " (*Curated Review*)

" One of my favorite dining spots! DePalma’s continues to impress with their consistent quality and excellent service. I often come here with friends, and every time, we walk away completely satisfied. The stuffed mushrooms were a great starter, and I couldn't resist the tiramisu for dessert—it’s divine! Definitely a place worth visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my birthday at DePalma's, hoping for a memorable meal. Although the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, my dish fell short of my expectations. The seafood special I ordered was bland, lacking the rich flavors I associate with Italian food. On a brighter note, the staff was courteous and attentive, ensuring that the other aspects of my dining experience were pleasing. I may return for a pizza, as those seem to be a highlight for many. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience at DePalma's! Absolutely loved the homemade sauces and fresh ingredients. The atmosphere was inviting, and the staff was warm and welcoming. We had the lobster ravioli and the tiramisu, which were both stellar! I can't emphasize enough how authentic the flavors were—I felt like I was dining in Italy itself. Will definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" We were hopeful about DePalma's, but our experience was lacking. The service was slow and disorganized when we visited last Friday. Our entrees took longer to arrive than we anticipated, and when they arrived, the flavors didn't quite match what we were hoping for. I might give it another shot on a less busy evening, as I've seen great reviews from others! " (*Curated Review*)
