" Having tried many Italian restaurants across the country, Eugenio’s stands out as one of the best. Their attention to detail is apparent in every dish. We started with the arancini, which were crispy on the outside and creamy within. As for the mains, I had the veal scallopini while my friend had the seafood risotto—both were perfectly cooked. The flavors were vibrant and authentic, evoking memories of my travels in Italy. We left feeling satisfied and will be back to try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here last week. The décor is charming, and the dining area is cozy, creating the perfect atmosphere for romantic dinners. The food was fantastic. We ordered the calamari to start, which was lightly breaded and cooked perfectly. For our main courses, I had the lasagna, which was rich and savory, while she chose the gnocchi, which was quite possibly the best I’ve had. Our server provided stellar service throughout the evening. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious Italian food that truly transports you to the heart of Italy! The risotto was creamy, the chicken marsala was perfectly seasoned, and let's not forget the garlic bread—simply the best I've ever had! The only downside was the wait for a table; it's definitely a popular spot. Nevertheless, the staff was polite, and the chef even came out to check on us. It's clear they take pride in their food and service. I highly recommend making a reservation before you go! " (*Curated Review*)

" We enjoyed a wonderful meal here last week. The handmade pasta made the difference! Everything was fresh, and the flavors blended beautifully. I tried their traditional marinara, and it was sublime. The service was quick and attentive. I can't recommend Eugenio’s enough if you're looking for great Italian food in San Marcos! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently enjoyed a lovely dinner at Eugenio's with my friends. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food in a small, unassuming place. I ordered the spaghetti puttanesca, which was delightful! The staff was very friendly and ensured that we had a great experience. It's a nice hideaway that I plan to come back to with my family soon.

" We stumbled upon this quaint Italian spot during a visit to San Marcos. At first, I was skeptical due to its strip mall location, but once inside, I was charmed. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the food surpassed my expectations. I had the seafood pasta, which was fresh and aromatic. My partner enjoyed the bruschetta, which was made with fantastic tomatoes. Definitely a place to return to and recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible authentic Italian cuisine! The best I've had since visiting Italy a few years back. Everything tasted fresh and was plated beautifully. The ambiance was also pleasant, making for an enjoyable evening out. I will definitely return to Eugenio's to try more of their awesome menu! Highly recommend the lobster gnocchi!
