" My husband and I took a walk around Birmingham and just stumbled upon Bongiorno. What a lucky find! The atmosphere felt so intimate and warm. The food was delightful; I tried the stuffed shells which were creamy and delightful. I wish we had left room for dessert because everyone around us was raving about the tiramisu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Bongiorno for a family dinner, and while I loved the ambiance and the welcoming staff, I found the chicken parmesan to be a bit lacking in flavor. The bread served was tasty, but I wanted a bit more seasoning in my dish. Overall, it was a pleasant evening with good vibes, so I might give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic Italian experience! The gnocchi was excellent, and I just love how cozy the place feels. The service is wonderful too. I could have eaten two portions it was so good! My only tip is to make sure to sample their dessert—this is one of the few places where I found tiramisu that's genuinely top-notch. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Bongiorno was so-so. I enjoyed the gnocchi but felt my veal was disappointing as it was a bit dry. The atmosphere is lovely, but the service lagged in attention; we waited too long for our check. I think I’ll give it another chance since the other reviews are so positive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sitting down at Bongiorno felt like stepping right into a traditional Italian eatery! The servers were quick to assist, and the antipasto platter was delightful. However, I found the chicken cacciatore slightly under seasoned. It still had a comforting flavor and was very hearty, so I'm looking forward to trying other dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Italian food scene in Birmingham is strong with Bongiorno setting the tone. Just the perfect cozy environment for conversation, and don’t skip out on dessert, especially the panna cotta! The only downside was that the service felt just a touch slow during dinner rush hour, but it was understandable given the ambiance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had the most disappointing experience at Bongiorno. I had high hopes based on the reviews, but my meal lacked flavor and I felt it was overpriced. The interior was nice but felt cramped, and service was definitely lacking. Even the bread they served was disappointing. Even though they are praised, I'm not sure if I would go back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
