" What a fantastic evening! We chose Purple Garlic for our anniversary and had a lovely time. The server immediately made us feel special and made great suggestions for our meal. We started with the calamari, which was perfectly light and crispy. For mains, I ordered spaghetti and meatballs, and my partner had the eggplant parmesan—both dishes were delightful, full of rich flavors. The ambiance was warm and romantic. We ended our night with a chocolate hazelnut tart that was pure bliss. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am so pleased with my experience at Purple Garlic! The atmosphere was charming and I felt almost transported to Italy as I sipped my drink. Our appetizer of fried mozzarella was delightful; very cheesy and not greasy at all. I got a classic spaghetti and meatballs for my main course, which tasted very homemade. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and my water glass was never empty. Will definitely recommend this spot to friends! Overall, great food at reasonable prices. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing numerous good things, I finally tried Purple Garlic and I was not disappointed! The food was amazing, especially their meatballs, which tasted like they were made with love. The atmosphere is cozy with charm, making it a perfect place for a family dinner. Our service was a bit slow at one point, but the staff were kind and attentive, which is what matters. I'm really looking forward to making this restaurant a regular spot for us! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was our first visit, and I think we found our new favorite restaurant! The atmosphere set a wonderful mood for dinner, and everything we tried was delicious—especially the chicken marsala which was cooked to perfection. Our server was cheerful and attentive, which made the experience even better. I'm looking forward to trying more from the menu on our next visit. Highly recommend the Italian cream cake, it was divine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Trying Purple Garlic for dinner was a pleasant surprise! The interior is warm and inviting, promoting a perfect dining experience. My partner and I decided to share a few appetizers and went with the spinach artichoke dip and garlic knots—both fantastic. For the main course, I opted for the pesto pasta, while my partner chose the chicken piccata. Both meals arrived nicely plated and full of flavor. Would definitely recommend for a casual evening with friends or family. " (*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*)
