" Cafe Epicure is nice for casual get-togethers. My friends and I enjoyed the antipasto platter and various pizzas. The atmosphere is laid-back, but overall, I thought the food lacked a bit of excitement. The service staff are great, really accommodating with our changes to orders. For a chill evening out, it’s a decent choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Epicure has become my go-to dining spot! Their pizzas are among the best I've ever had, with perfectly thin crust and generous toppings. Each time I've visited, I've been treated to commendable service and a pleasant atmosphere that makes me feel at home. I've tried the frittura mista and it was simply to die for! Can't recommend this place highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time dining at Cafe Epicure and it won't be my last. I loved the ambiance and the intriguing menu. Services were prompt and friendly, but the real star was the food. I had a delightful pizza that perfectly hit the mark. Can't recommend them enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining here last Saturday, and the meal was simply unforgettable! The gnocchi was incredibly light and fluffy while still having the richness I crave in comfort food. The atmosphere was buzzing and vibrant, which added to my enjoyment. The service was admirable as well, very on top of refilling our drinks and taking care of us. I will definitely come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" An okay experience at Cafe Epicure this time. The food was decent, but the service left some to be desired—our server forgot a few of our requests. While the ambiance was pleasant and the décor charming, I’m on the fence about returning anytime soon. I think I’d explore other options first. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambience here is fantastic! Lots of outdoor seating in the perfect location. However, my pasta dish felt a bit too rich, despite the various flavors present. The staff was attentive; they made sure everything was perfect. A nice outing, but I might explore other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience overall! We had a long brunch and enjoyed every minute. I loved the ricotta pancakes and espresso. The service was attentive and friendly, always ensuring our drinks were full. The restaurant is bustling with a lively vibe. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon! " (*Curated Review*)
