" Our group had a great time at Cacio e Pepe. We enjoyed the lively ambiance, which was perfect for a night out with friends. The food was delicious, especially the cacio e pepe, which was expertly made. No complaints about the service either; everyone was very nice. A perfect spot if you want to try authentic Italian cuisine in a fun atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not quite what I expected. The cacio e pepe was good but slightly underwhelming given how much I read about it. The atmosphere was lively, yet the noise level made conversation difficult at times, which took away from the overall experience. I must say the staff were friendly and attentive to an extent. I might give it another shot but with lower expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had an amazing dinner at Cacio e Pepe! My friends and I shared a selection of dishes, and everything was delightful. The atmosphere was warm and buzzing, perfect for catching up over dinner. The cacio e pepe was rich, and the creamy sauce was truly a highlight. Service staff were knowledgeable about the menu, enhancing our visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, the hype around the cacio e pepe is real! It was perfectly cooked and tasted heavenly. The atmosphere felt inviting and comfy, great for enjoying dinner after a long day. However, while the service started off great, it did slow down a bit towards the end, but overall I left quite satisfied. I will be back for their incredible pasta! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm really torn about my experience here. The food was undoubtedly delicious - the cacio e pepe did not disappoint. However, the noise level was higher than I preferred, and at some points, it felt overwhelming. The staff were attentive and very friendly, but we waited quite a bit for our drinks. If you love authentic Italian cooking and can handle a lively atmosphere, you'll love it here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I kickstarted my culinary journey here at Cacio e Pepe. The highlight was definitely the cacio e pepe made in the big cheese wheel. It was delightful to watch and even better to taste! The service was overall welcoming although there seemed to be a slight delay in getting our dessert. Despite that, I had an amazing evening filled with great food and company. The atmosphere felt very authentic Italian, which is hard to find in NYC. " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Cacio e Pepe with a group and we all ordered different dishes. The stars of the table were definitely the cacio e pepe and the lasagna. It was nice to share and experience different flavors. The atmosphere is very cozy, perfect for a group outing or a casual date. Could have had quicker service towards the end, but it was overall a fantastic experience. I'll be recommending to friends! " (*Curated Review*)
