" Every time we visit Bongiorno, it feels like we're stepping into a little piece of Italy! The staff welcomes you like family and the pasta dishes are just incredible. On the last visit, we had carbonara that was creamy and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this place to anyone who hasn't tried it yet! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here for lunch, and I must admit, the service was incredibly slow for a midday meal. However, the food made up for it. I had the margherita pizza and it was delightful - the crust was perfectly chewy, and the toppings were super fresh. I would definitely return, but perhaps during a less busy time to enjoy the overall experience without the long wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bongiorno has become my go-to for Italian cuisine! I am in love with their pizza, which tastes so authentic and fresh, every single time. The staff is super friendly, and the dining experience is lovely. I always feel welcomed, and it makes everything better. I’m also a big fan of their ravioli! Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch here with a couple of friends and we agreed that everything we tried was delicious. The pizza was thin-crust and topped with fresh ingredients—what a treat! However, the service could have been a bit faster since we were on a time constraint. This will definitely be a place we return to. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a birthday dinner and everything was fabulous. The owner made us feel welcomed, and our server was always at hand. I had the lasagna, and the portion was generous; my friends enjoyed their entrees too. I will say, I was quite happy to share the dessert, which we couldn't finish. Definitely a place to come back! " (*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*)
