" From the outside, Il Molo has a cozy charm that feels inviting. Once you step inside, the atmosphere is warm with a hint of sophistication. I had the seafood risotto, and although it was on the oily side, it was filled with fresh seafood, which I appreciated. The service was attentive without being overbearing. While it didn’t blow my socks off, it was an enjoyable experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" I appreciate the quality of the seafood at Il Molo, but I felt the dishes were a bit overpriced for what they offered. The atmosphere was casual yet classy, which worked well. I had the fish and chips, and while it was good, I expected more creativity in the overall presentation. Still, I would consider returning if I have the chance. " (*Curated Review*)

Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a nice night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I enjoyed a lovely dinner at Il Molo. The decor was understated but elegant, making for a cozy environment. A highlight was the seafood tower, which was beautifully presented and tasted divine. While we were satisfied with the service, some wait times could have been improved. Overall, a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Il Molo is the place to be! I took my wife here for our anniversary, and it was fantastic. The seafood options were fresh, and the service was impeccable. I ordered the lobster risotto, which was creamy and rich. The combination of flavors was delightful. The ambiance made it extra special for our celebration. Highly recommend this place!
