" I walked in eager, but left more lukewarm about this Italian spot. The decor is more casual than expected. I ordered the lasagna and it didn’t taste like much, it was rather bland. On the counter, the staff seemed overwhelmed. Service was okay overall but the food didn't impress me. I'd skip it next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to try Caragiulo's after hearing such great things from friends. While the service was friendly, the food didn't quite live up to the hype for me. I had the lasagna, and it was decent but nothing extraordinary. The bread was good, but overall, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. I may come back to try something different, but I wasn't blown away. " (*Curated Review*)

" Could not have asked for a better dining experience! The atmosphere was cozy and the service was excellent. My spouse ordered the seafood dish, and I had the meat lasagna – both tasted absolutely divine! The side of meatballs was also a treat. We even shared a slice of tiramisu for dessert, which was the perfect ending. Definitely making this our new Italian spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a pleasant lunch at Caragiulo's, but I felt it just didn’t live up to the hype. The food was okay, with my gnocchi lacking flavor. The waitstaff were friendly, and the ambiance was lovely, but overall, the meals were forgettable. I might give it another shot, but I wasn't wowed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an excellent dinner here last night! The food was deliciously authentic, and I expect nothing less from a place with such a rich Italian influence. My wife and I shared a lovely bottle of wine and enjoyed the atmosphere, which was buzzing but still intimate. We will absolutely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided on Caragiulo's for date night, drawn by the Italian flair. The food was good, but I honestly expected more. My girlfriend loved her risotto, but I felt my chicken was a tad dry and underseasoned. The ambiance was nice but could be a bit noisy. Overall we enjoyed our time, but I think there are better options. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit was okay but not stellar. I was looking forward to an authentic Italian experience but left feeling a bit let down. The bruschetta was good, but my main dish lacked excitement. Service was friendly but a bit slow. I think I might try a different dish next time to see if it improves. " (*Curated Review*)
