" I had a wonderful experience at Union Restaurant! The Torchetti pasta was an absolute stand out, perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The ambiance was cozy, making it an ideal spot for a romantic dinner. The service was attentive, but the portions were on the smaller side for the price. Overall, I would definitely return for another meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Union Restaurant was enjoyable but had its ups and downs. The squid ink lumache was rich but a bit salty for my taste. The service was friendly, but we did not feel very attended to at times. The atmosphere was lively, which is great for groups but made conversations difficult. I would give it another try to see if it was a one-off. " (*Curated Review*)

" Union Restaurant has become a must-visit for me. Their pasta dishes are standout; I enjoyed the squid ink and torchetti. The vibrant atmosphere and kind service made the experience enjoyable. However, I was a bit disappointed with the portion sizes as they felt small for the price. Overall, it's a great spot but plan to order a few dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying Union, given their praise for authenticity. The appetizers were a highlight, especially the grilled octopus. My main dish, the bucatini, was a bit underwhelming as it lacked seasoning. Although the service was good, the noise level made conversation hard. Overall, I think there is potential, but they might need to refine some dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I celebrated my birthday here with friends and it turned out to be delightful! The torchetti and lobster pasta were delicious. The ambiance was cozy, making it feel like a special occasion. The service was friendly but could scale back a little; sometimes it felt too rushed. All in all, a great spot for celebrations! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Union for a casual dinner with friends and was pleased with our experience. The menu was diverse, and I was particularly a fan of the lamb pasta. The ambiance was nice; it felt like a true Italian restaurant. Service was attentive, although a little slower during peak hours. Portions seemed to be on the smaller side, but we left satisfied overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am blown away by how good the Torchetti was! Truly one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. The flavors were well balanced and the pork ragu had just the right amount of richness. The dessert, olive oil cake, was the perfect end to the meal. Service was on point and very attentive. I highly recommend this spot if you want excellent Italian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
