" My husband and I decided to try Cicciotti's for our anniversary and were delighted. The food was magnificent! We started with the antipasto platter, which was bursting with flavors! For the main course, I had the seafood risotto—dish was filled with various seafood and cooked to perfection. Our service was top-notch too. We were treated with care and the staff was genuinely friendly. We left feeling pleased and full, and it made our celebration that much better. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to this restaurant, and while the food was decent, I found the portions to be a bit small for the price. I had the eggplant parm, which was tasty but not as filling as I’d hoped. On the other hand, the ambiance and decor are lovely, giving a cozy feel. Our server was nice but seemed overwhelmed by the crowd. I might try it again with friends and see if the experience improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I went with pretty high expectations due to all the rave reviews, but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The food was acceptable, though not particularly memorable. My pizza was on the soggy side, lacking that crispiness I love. On the positive side, the ambiance was nice and lively, making it perfect for a casual outing. I may return someday, but I might try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this restaurant a few weeks ago after hearing great things. Alas, my pizza was burnt on the bottom and soggy in the middle. Very odd texture and not appetizing at all. The vibe was nice, which is the only positive I can take away from this experience. The service was decent; no real issues, just a miss on food quality. Not sure I’ll try this place again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't understand the hype around Cicciotti's. While the food was decent, I expected authentic flavors. The marinara on my pasta tasted too generic, lacking the richness I adore in Italian cuisine. On the positive side, the atmosphere was nice, and I had a pleasant server who was patient with my indecision. But overall, I probably won’t return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Cicciotti's after hearing so many great things from friends. The atmosphere was cozy, and the ambiance lively. The meatballs were a great starter, but my entrée—thought to be authentic Italian—didn't quite hit the mark. It felt more commercialized than expected. With such great service, I might still come back, but I wouldn't recommend it based solely on food. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family went for a casual dinner, and it was a great experience overall. The food portions were satisfying, especially the calzone, which was packed! Minimal wait time and a busy atmosphere made it feel vibrant. It’s a bit pricy, but you get what you pay for. A solid choice for families looking for a nice night out. " (*Curated Review*)
