" We were curious about Purple Garlic after hearing so many good reviews. The atmosphere is charming, and the service was prompt. We tried their spinach artichoke dip, which was one of the best I've had - creamy and freshly made. My main dish was the fettuccine alfredo, which was rich and satisfying, though I could have used a bit more seasoning. Overall, I enjoyed the meal, but my partner thought the garlic bread was a touch overdone. We left both happy and well-fed, definitely planning to return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't usually leave reviews but after visiting Purple Garlic, I felt compelled to share! The food was absolutely delightful! The lasagna was generously portioned and bursting with flavor. The garlic bread was crispy on the outside yet soft within, truly a wonderful appetizer. The staff were incredibly attentive and worked hard to give us a memorable dining experience. I will certainly be returning, probably for lunch next time, as I am eager to try more on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve heard great things about Purple Garlic and was excited to check it out. Unfortunately, my experience didn’t meet the high expectations. Although the place is adorable and very Italian in decor, the food was overly seasoned for my taste. The chicken piccata was tough, which was disappointing. The service was nice, and I can't fault them for attentiveness, but the dishes really need flavor balance. Perhaps it was just an off day, but I doubt I will return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting and it certainly won't be the last! The atmosphere has a cozy diner vibe mixed with an outdoor patio feel—very inviting! We shared the garlic bread and spinach artichoke dip which both did not disappoint. My main course was a creamy penne which was packed with delicious flavors. Service was friendly; our server made sure we were satisfied throughout our meal. This spot is truly a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Italian dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have made Purple Garlic my go-to restaurant for Italian food. Every visit has been a delight! The service is consistently excellent, and I love that they offer half-price appetizers during certain hours. I always order the spinach artichoke dip and the chicken parmesan, which never disappoints. The ambiance feels like a nice little Italian hideaway. Highly recommend, especially for casual outings with friends or a cozy dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a good experience at Purple Garlic! The ambiance was cozy and relaxing, perfect for a catch-up with friends. We opted for several dishes to share. The fettuccine alfredo was rich and creamy, while the garlic knots are a must-try. Our server kindly suggested the tiramisu for dessert, which was heavenly! Although we had to wait a little longer for our food than expected, the wait was worth it for the quality of the dishes we enjoyed. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Purple Garlic was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and I'm so glad we did! The decor felt welcoming and homey. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. I had the spaghetti pomodoro, which was simple yet delicious. My friends had the pesto pizza, and they raved about the freshness of the ingredients. I would have liked to see more vegetarian options, but our overall meals were very satisfying. I highly recommend this cafe for a casual dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)
