" Had a fabulous dinner here last night! The lobster ravioli was absolutely to die for. The creamy sauce complemented it perfectly. We also tried their renowned tiramisu for dessert, which was heavenly. Though a bit of a wait for seating, it was well worth it for the food and the experience. Highly recommend making a reservation! " (*Curated Review*)

" We were so excited to try Paluca, and while the views were breathtaking, the food was just average. I had the fish and chips, but the coating was more dough than fish, leaving me rather disappointed. The waiter, however, was polite and attentive, so at least the service was commendable. Not sure if I'll return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely loved my experience at Paluca! I had the gnocchi with pesto and it was unquestionably the best I've had. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, I would still recommend this place to all pasta lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great spot! The food hit the spot; I loved the carbonara! The flavors were spot on. Walked in because we saw the coastline view, and the experience didn’t disappoint. The only downside was the murmur of the sea lions—might be a distraction for some. However, I genuinely would try this place again. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my second visit, and I have to say the food quality has improved incredibly! The starter calamari was golden and delicious, while the fresh pasta was perfectly cooked. I must also compliment the dessert, tiramisu, which was delectable. A highly rewarding dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful experience with great food! The stuffed lobster ravioli was creamy and flavorful — a highlight of our meal. The acoustics were a little off, making it hard to hear each other at times. Still, I would suggest this place for a nice night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Paluca Trattoria is a hidden gem! The pasta dishes are authentic and truly Italian. I particularly loved the puttanesca sauce; it was rich and well-balanced. Enjoyed dine-in with friends on the deck overlooking the harbor, and the service was fantastic. I left feeling satisfied and eager to return. " (*Curated Review*)
