" Had my son’s birthday party at Uncle Bacala's, and we had an absolutely amazing time! The staff was incredibly accommodating, especially with our menu preferences. The food was mouthwatering—everyone raved about the pizzas. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, perfect for families. The cotton candy served at the end was delightful and added a fun element to the party. We will be returning for family dinners, for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family has been visiting Uncle Bacala's for years, and it remains one of our favorite dining spots. The pasta is always fresh, and Mama's recipes are evident in every dish. The roast duck was exceptional and very tender. The only downside was the wait time was a bit longer than expected. Still, the service was friendly, engaging the kids with stories while we waited. To top it off, the kids loved the cotton candy! Looking forward to our next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at Uncle Bacala's was a delightful experience! The atmosphere was genuine and cozy, just like one would expect from an Italian family-owned restaurant. I tried the meatball sub and was blown away by how fresh everything tasted—it reminded me of grandma's cooking. Portions were hearty enough that I had to take some home! Don't skip out on the cotton candy—they surprised us with it at the end! Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Uncle Bacala’s a few nights ago, and I was impressed! The food was incredibly flavorful, and the service was prompt and friendly. I ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer, which was fresh and zesty. The only disappointment was the size of my portion—it could have been a bit larger. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the complimentary cotton candy after the meal. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for good Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had an outstanding experience at Uncle Bacala's! The ambiance was charmingly Italian and put us right in the mood for a great dinner. I ordered the veal marsala, which was incredibly tasty, and my husband had a seafood pasta dish that he raved about. Portions were huge, which made it even better. The staff were friendly and helpful, making excellent recommendations. Lastly, I can't forget the fantastic cotton candy which was a sweet surprise at the end. Will be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an average experience at Uncle Bacala's recently. While the food was decent, it didn't quite meet the high expectations set by others. I tried the fettuccine alfredo, and it was good but not unforgettable. The service was okay, but we waited for our drinks longer than expected. The atmosphere was lively, which I enjoyed. I can see why many love this place, but I may try something else next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Uncle Bacala's last night for a birthday dinner, and I can’t praise them enough! From the moment we walked in, I felt like I was transported to an authentic Italian restaurant. The staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the lasagna, which was loaded with flavor and generous portions. We capped the night off with cotton candy, which was a delightful way to enhance the experience. I highly recommend Uncle Bacala's for anyone who loves Italian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
