" A group of us came here for a birthday celebration and had a wonderful time! The service was friendly and the staff really made us feel special on the birthday occasion. The food was delicious, especially the cannoli and garlic bread. We loved the unique blend of flavors they offer! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! The Chicken Parm is phenomenal, and the spaghetti is just like Mom used to make. The atmosphere is cozy and quaint, making it perfect for family dinners. I always look forward to coming here when I get the chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" In my recent visit to Sunny Italy Cafe, I found a delightful mixture of nostalgia and culinary tradition. The food was, as always, quite wonderful. I had the veal Parmigiana, which was deliciously tender and topped with a rich cheese. However, I noticed that portion sizes seem to have shrunk a bit compared to previous visits, which was somewhat disappointing given the elevated prices. The service was attentive, but I wish they could work faster. Overall, it remains a great spot for Italian comfort food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Took my family to Sunny Italy Cafe after hearing all the rave reviews. We were not let down! The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was packed with flavor, especially the homemade sauce! I highly recommend the fettuccine alfredo. Will absolutely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wouldn't say it was bad, but my meal didn't impress me as much as I had hoped. The meatball had a weird texture and the pasta was overcooked. My expectations were high based on previous reviews, so perhaps I just caught them on an off night. The service was friendly, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was pretty good, but I expected a bit more from this well-regarded cafe. The shrimp scampi was tasty but light on shrimp. I liked the ambiance; it felt really homey. Overall, a good option, but not my top pick for Italian in South Bend. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you want authentic Italian cuisine, look no further than Sunny Italy Cafe! Their manicotti is the best I've ever had—stuffed to perfection and served with a rich sauce. The waitstaff was friendly, making our meal even more enjoyable. The ambiance reminded me of my grandma's kitchen. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
