" Dining at John's was an absolutely memorable experience! The blend of atmospheres, food variety, and friendly service made it perfect for our family reunion. The vegan meatballs were a hit, and even the carnivores were impressed. I'll be recommending this to everyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a letdown! I was excited to try John's after hearing some good reviews. Unfortunately, the vegan meatball was mushy and the pasta lacked flavor. Although the ambiance is nice, I wouldn’t return. Perhaps it was an off night, but my experience wasn't great. Save your money for a more flavorful option elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I loved this place! They offer a great selection of traditional dishes and vegan options, making it easy to please everyone in our party. The ambiance is cozy and charming. I would definitely return for their incredible tiramisu! " (*Curated Review*)

" A cozy spot that truly celebrates Italian cuisine! John’s has been around for so long, I was eager to try it out. The food did not disappoint—the flavors were robust, especially in the marinara sauce. The vegan options were also impressive! I would definitely recommend it, especially for special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I had our anniversary dinner at John's and the experience was delightful! The ambiance felt romantic and the staff went out of their way to make us feel special. We tried the vegan cannoli and it was a delightful twist on the classic. Highly recommend for special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)

" John's of 12th Street is a fantastic place for both vegans and non-vegans. I had the vegan parm, and it was just as good as the regular! The decor is full of charm and warmth, and our server was top-notch. I will return without a doubt! " (*Curated Review*)

" Was excited to try John's based on reviews, but I honestly encountered a mixed bag. Some dishes were flavorful, while others were bland. The atmosphere is charming and the staff tries hard to be attentive. I wouldn't mind returning for a more classic Italian dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)
