" We celebrated an anniversary here, and the experience was overall wonderful. We started with the burrata which was delicious! I had the torchetti and my partner had the lamb pasta - both were rich and savory. The restaurant was somewhat crowded causing a slight delay in service, but the friendly staff made up for it. It felt very authentic and cozy, making it perfect for a special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations, but my experience was somewhat mixed. The food was good overall, with a lovely squid ink pasta. The atmosphere felt cozy, but the portions were disappointingly small for such high prices. Service was initially slow, but improved as the night went on. Not sure if I'll come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a delightful dinner at Union Restaurant! The atmosphere felt romantic and the staff made us feel welcomed from the moment we entered. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, and while some were a bit salty, the flavors were impressive. Portions were small; however, we left satisfied. I would definitely recommend this spot for a cozy dinner! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went with my family for a nice dinner out. Generally speaking, the food was quite good, with the squid ink lumache as the highlight. However, the portions were too small for the price, leaving us wanting more. The place was buzzing with energy, and the staff was friendly. Would return but with modified expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" First visit to Union and I was impressed! The food was fresh and homemade; their pasta truly stands out. The service was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. It was a bit noisy, but the vibe was fun. I especially loved the dessert to finish. Just be prepared for smaller portions! " (*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*)
