" I used to frequent Gilardi's more often, but my last visit left me needing to share this—a big thank you to the staff for their consistent service! The salad I had was flavorful, and the bread was so fresh! I tried a new dish this time, and it didn't fail to impress. I'm always amazed by how they incorporate fresh garden ingredients into their dishes. If you're ever in the area, don't miss the opportunity to try their chef's specials—they are a dream come true for every Italian food enthusiast. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Gilardi's for the first time last week, and while I had high expectations, I left feeling a bit let down. The service was decent but could be more attentive, as we had to wait a while for our server to check in on us. My meal, a seafood pasta, was flavorful but didn't stand out as much as I'd hoped. The atmosphere is very cozy and romantic, making it a great date spot. However, considering the prices, I expected more from the overall experience. I might give it another try but will be cautious with what I order next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Gilardi's and found the food to be quite special. The polenta was creamy and rich, and the serving size was just right. The restaurant had a lovely vibe, perfect for a chilled evening out. However, the service could use some improvement— our server was friendly but took a bit longer to attend to us at times. Despite this, I would recommend giving this place a shot for a nice Italian experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a lovely experience at Gilardi's this past weekend. It was our first time here, and I appreciated how personal it felt. The food was not only delicious but also artfully presented. Their chicken parmesan was unlike any I’ve had before, with pasta that paired beautifully. I found it to be a bit on the pricey side, but I consider it a treat worth indulging in every now and then. Highly would recommend visiting! " (*Curated Review*)

" I want to share my recent experience at Gilardi's, where I felt very welcomed. Though they didn't have a kids menu, the owner kindly made a special grilled cheese for my 7-year-old, which was so thoughtful! I ordered a dish with pesto and chicken that was divine. The mix of flavors was refreshing, and everything tasted homemade and fresh. The atmosphere was cozy and romantic. The only downside was that the prices were a bit high, but I felt it was worth it for the quality of food and service. A great choice for family dinners or special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" During our recent visit to Gilardi's, we were pleasantly surprised by the attentive service. The staff was incredibly friendly, and we felt valued as customers. The food was terrific; we tried the lasagna and found it to be delicious and rich with flavor. However, the atmosphere felt a tad bit cramped on a busy night, but that’s not uncommon for restaurants like this. Overall, great food and a good experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to try Gilardi's recently, and it didn't disappoint. The rustic setting felt cozy and perfect for our little getaway. For appetizers, we tried the meatballs, which were hearty and flavorful. My husband and I both ordered duck, which was deliciously prepared and tender. Great care is definitely taken in selecting ingredients. The only note I would mention is that while the food was generally amazing, a few dishes could've used a touch more flavor. I would still recommend this restaurant for its ambiance and the quality of service. " (*Curated Review*)
