" The Annex Kitchen really captures the essence of Italian dining. Each dish is crafted with attention to detail, and it shows. I was particularly impressed with the ragu; it was rich and comforting. The staff was exceedingly accommodating and attentive to our needs throughout the meal. I genuinely hope to visit again soon to explore more of their delicious menu options. A superb experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the worst experience at The Annex Kitchen. I went on a busy Friday evening without a reservation and was kept waiting for over an hour. When we finally got seated, it took forever to get our orders taken. My pasta was cold when it arrived, and the service felt disorganized. The food had great potential, but the wait times influenced my overall impression. I might try again on a less busy night, as I did hear good things from friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here on a Saturday night with high expectations, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed! The atmosphere was vibrant but not overwhelming, and the staff greeted us warmly. We started with the arancini, which was possibly the best I've ever had. The risotto inside was creamy and flavorful. For my main, I had the diavola pizza and it was perfection—crisp crust, just the right amount of spice, and beautifully cooked. I can't wait to return for more amazing dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about The Annex Kitchen, I decided to finally try it out. The food was good, but the service left much to be desired. Our server was friendly enough, but it took a long time for us to get our drinks. I ordered the tagliatelle and it was delicious—definitely worth the wait. The atmosphere was lively but a bit too loud for my taste. I will return but hopefully next time the service is better! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love Italian food, you owe it to yourself to dine at The Annex Kitchen! I took my family for dinner and everything from the bread to the dessert was exceptional. The zeppoles were a perfect sweet ending to the meal. The staff brought our food out promptly and seemed genuinely interested in our experience. I think we will definitely make this a regular dining spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at The Annex Kitchen was decent but left me wanting a bit more. The food was good, especially the pizza, but the service was slightly lacking as our server seemed preoccupied. The noise level was a bit high, making conversation difficult. I'd consider revisiting under better circumstances, as I think they have potential! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to The Annex Kitchen was lovely! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The service was prompt, and our food was simply delicious. I particularly loved the Calabrian chili pasta—spicy and flavorful! The reservation system worked seamlessly and it was refreshing to get seated right away. Overall, a commendable and enjoyable meal!
