" While I had high hopes for Apericena, I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The atmosphere is lovely and cozy, with a nice setup for dinner, but the service was quite slow during our visit. We waited a long time for our food, which made the experience feel prolonged unnecessarily. When the food arrived, it was decent but lacked the wow factor I anticipated for the price point. That said, we still enjoyed our night but may not rush back any time soon. I hope they can get the timing issues sorted out. " (*Curated Review*)

" After visiting Apericena for the first time, I can honestly say I'm impressed! The atmosphere was inviting and cozy; it felt like dining at a friend's home. We shared the whipped feta appetizer, which did not disappoint—honestly the best I've had anywhere! For the main course, I tried the lamb bolognese, which was rich and flavorful without being overwhelming. I also appreciated their commitment to using locally sourced ingredients; you could really taste the difference. The only downside was that the service was slightly slow, but it was a weekend so I wasn't too bothered. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Imagine the perfect cozy little Italian restaurant that serves mouthwatering food— that’s Apericena! From the moment I arrived for dinner, I felt welcomed by the lovely staff. We tried a myriad of dishes, but the highlight was definitely their handmade lasagna! The depth of flavor and perfect layering made for an unforgettable meal. The dining experience was relaxing, giving you time to savor each dish rather than rush through the meal. I left feeling filled with happiness and a wonderful sense of culinary satisfaction! " (*Curated Review*)

" Apericena is a must-visit! I recently hosted my friends here for a night out and we had a fantastic time! The food was exquisite, and I'm pretty picky about Italian food. The flavors were vibrant and authentic to Northern Italy, which is where I traveled last summer. Our server was kind and knew the menu inside-out, suggesting the best dishes for us. The only small complaint I have is the noise level was a bit high that night, but it didn’t detract too much from the wonderful experience. Highly recommend this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic experience! I've been a fan of Italian cuisine for many years, and Apericena certainly lived up to my expectations. The atmosphere was warm, and the décor made it feel very intimate. Every dish we tried was not only delicious but made with authentic ingredients. The rabardar pastas be sure to order a side of whipped feta, it's a crowd-pleaser! Looking forward to returning soon for another rich experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been reading about Apericena for weeks and decided to take my partner for a special date night. Let me just say we were not disappointed! The intimate setting was just perfect, making for a romantic evening. I ordered the steak dish, which was beautifully seared and seasoned just right. For a starter, we had the whipped feta again, and we can't stop raving about it! It was our first time trying dessert there, and wow, the chocolate cake was divine! I'm so glad we ventured here; it’s a refreshing change from typical dining options! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at Apericena after hearing so many great reviews, but my experience didn't quite match the hype. While the venue is charming and has a quaint vibe, I found the food to be lacking in the authenticity I was expecting. The pasta I ordered was a bit overcooked and didn’t have the fresh taste I associate with Italian cuisine. On the other hand, the service was friendly, which I appreciated. I hope they can improve on their food as I think they have a lot of potential! " (*Curated Review*)
