" I finally had the chance to visit Julian's Little Italy last night, and I regret not going sooner! The chicken parmesan was prepared beautifully, with a crispy coating that wasn't greasy, unlike other places I've tried. I was a bit surprised by the portion sizes; they were generous enough that I was able to take half home for later. The environment was lively, full of laughter and chatter — definitely family-friendly! Service was prompt and friendly, and our server even recommended a lovely wine that paired well with the meal. All in all, a fabulous dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had the most incredible dinner at Julian's Little Italy! From the appetizing bruschetta to the delightful tiramisu, each dish was bursting with flavor. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made excellent recommendations for wine pairings. The atmosphere was lively but still gave us a chance to converse. The only downside was the slightly long wait time, but the freshness and taste of the food made us forget about it. We'll definitely be making this our go-to Italian restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a regular at Julian's Little Italy, I can personally vouch for the authenticity of the food here. The chef clearly knows Italian cuisine, as the pizza, lasagna, and tiramisu have consistently been top-notch. The ambiance is inviting, and it's a place where you can enjoy a relaxing meal with loved ones. Although it's often crowded and the staff can sometimes feel overwhelmed, they always manage to smile and stay pleasant. Their garlic knots are a must-try -- they should bottle that sauce! Definitely my go-to spot for Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Julian's Little Italy, I leave content and full. The gnocchi is incredibly soft and paired with a rich homemade sauce. It’s the kind of food that warms your heart. I also appreciate that they offer gluten-free pasta, which I tried on my last visit — it was surprisingly good! The only downside is that during peak dinner hours, the service can lag. It's usually worth the wait, though, as the portions are fulfilling. Once again, Julian's has proven to be an excellent choice for authentic Italian dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem indeed! Julian's Little Italy offers the kind of food that makes you feel at home. The daily specials are well worth checking out, especially the delightful risotto and freshly rolled ravioli. I've dined here several times, and every dish has been consistent in flavor and portion size. The service, however, tends to fluctuate; some nights the wait can be a bit long, but the great taste of the food often compensates for it. I do wish the decor were more modern, but it has a certain charm that adds to the experience. I can't recommend it enough for anyone seeking genuine Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Julian's Little Italy is an exceptional find! Each visit reveals new flavors and dishes that are hard to forget. I particularly loved the caprese salad—it was fresh and beautifully presented. The pastas, especially the alfredo, are always cooked al dente, which is a must for me. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that you have a pleasant dining experience, from appetizers to desserts. I recommend trying their homemade desserts; you won't regret it! The prices are very fair for the quality. It's a definite repeat for me! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am more than thrilled with my first visit to Julian's Little Italy! From the minute we walked in, we felt the Italian warmth. I ordered the seafood linguine, which was loaded with fresh shrimp and clams and tossed in a delightful lemon garlic sauce. It was the perfect balance of flavors! The service was attentive, though our drinks took a while to arrive. In terms of pricing, I considered it reasonable considering the quality of the ingredients used. I highly recommend Julian's to anyone craving authentic Italian fare. " (*Curated Review*)
