" Disappointingly average experience at Casa Rugantino last night. While the place has a nice atmosphere, the food didn’t live up to the hype. I ordered the rigatoni alla vodka, which was overly creamy—almost sickeningly sweet. The bread was stale, and water was neither offered nor refilled without noted requests. Perhaps we caught them on a bad night, but I won’t be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time here, and I enjoyed it! Had a very tasty caprese salad to start followed by the chicken alfredo, which was rich but flavorful. The service was fantastic, very attentive. I left satisfied and will be recommending this place to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated my birthday at Casa Rugantino, and I must say it’s a lovely spot. The special of the day was duck ragu, and it was incredible! My friends had various pastas, and everyone raved about the flavors. Our server was also very accommodating with our requests, which made the experience even better. The only downside was it was a bit noisy during peak hours, but the quality of food made up for it. Highly recommended for those seeking a great Italian meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" We were lucky enough to get a quick table at Casa Rugantino. The garlic shrimp was delicious but I was let down by the main course. The lasagna was unremarkable; it lacked flavors. Despite that, the environment was cozy, and the service was friendly throughout. A mixed experience—maybe I'll try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was thoroughly impressed with Casa Rugantino. The food was terrific! Every bite of the seafood risotto was rich and well-cooked. The ambiance was charming, especially with live music playing. I’ll certainly return, especially for that delightful risotto! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a good bite at Casa Rugantino, but not fully satisfied. The risotto had a great texture but lacked seasoning, and the dessert was store-bought, which is not what I expected. Service was fine, but I believe they could up their game if they want to maintain their popularity. Overall, a decent experience but with room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Casa Rugantino is truly a hidden gem. To begin, the bruschetta was fresh and generous in portion. I had the veal ravioli special that blew me away with its rich flavor. The wine selection is quite impressive, and our server was knowledgeable and friendly. I left feeling merry and satisfied, will absolutely return for more delightful meals. " (*Curated Review*)
