" We visited DePalma's and it was a lovely experience overall. The food was fresh and beautifully plated. I particularly enjoyed the shrimp alfredo, as it had the right balance of flavors. The atmosphere was bustling but welcoming, making it a great choice for dinner with friends. Slight downsides were a little wait for seating and occasional slower service due to the crowd, but that's the price of popularity! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely meal at DePalma's. Their pasta options are vast and everything is freshly made. We tried the baked feta and it was a hit! The ambiance struck me as rustic yet charming. We faced a bit of a wait for our food, but that was expected given how busy it was that night. Our server was smiling and efficient. Overall, I look forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a fantastic Italian restaurant! I love the vibrant atmosphere at DePalma's, and the food never disappoints. The mushroom ravioli is a must-try—it’s always packed with flavor. Service is generally quick, but it can be a bit slower during peak hours. Still, every visit feels like a treat—definitely worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful family dinner at DePalma's. We arrived early, and the service was impeccable. Our waiter was attentive and offered great suggestions. The food was delicious, especially the homemade lasagna which was hearty and flavorful. The only slight downside was that it took some time for dessert, but it was worth the wait! I highly recommend their white chocolate bread pudding—it's divine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Without a doubt a great place for Italian food! I brought my parents here for dinner, and they absolutely loved it! The menu offered authentic options that satisfied their cravings. We started with the stuffed mushrooms, which packed a punch in flavor, followed by the lasagna—very hearty! The service was impeccable, definitely a place we’ll be returning to. " (*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*)
