" I always come back to Eugenio's because they never disappoint! The flavors, the atmosphere—it’s just perfect for a night out. Their specials are where they really shine. Last time I had the duck pappardelle, and it was one of the best dishes I've ever had! Perfectly sauced and generous portions. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner here last weekend and it was fantastic! Started with their homemade garlic bread, which was incredibly good. Then I moved on to the special that night, the osso buco, which was perfectly cooked and flavorful. The ambiance of the restaurant felt intimate and vibrant. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that I can't wait to repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! Eugenio's is a gem tucked away in the corner of the strip mall. The food is always fresh and made with quality ingredients. I love their seafood specials, which always impress with the right seasoning and cooking. The servers are friendly and seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs, which always makes for a positive experience. I highly recommend making a reservation, as it gets pretty busy on the weekends. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a nice evening at Eugenio's. The food was certainly good, but I wouldn’t say it was the absolute best Italian food I've ever had. I found the pasta a bit overcooked and the flavors were not as pronounced as expected. Nevertheless, the service was very attentive, and the environment had a nice casual feel to it. I would eat here again, but perhaps try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Eugenio's has become my go-to place for Italian food! It is consistently great, from their carbonara to the seafood dishes. Every time I visit, I am welcomed warmly, and the food is served promptly. They always have a special that never disappoints! Highly recommend to anyone in search of authentic Italian cuisine!

" 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!
