" This was our first visit to East of Italy, and I think we've found our new family spot! Each meal was rich in flavor, and the ingredients tasted fresh. I particularly enjoyed the caesar salad, one of the best I’ve had! Our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. My only downside was the pricing; it felt a bit high for typical Italian dishes. Nevertheless, the overall experience and quality make it worthwhile! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our evening at East of Italy was delightful! The atmosphere is charming, and the staff is genuinely friendly. I ordered the calamari as an appetizer, and it was perfectly crispy! For the entree, I tried the chicken parm, which was good, though I was hoping for a bit more seasoning. Considering the portion size, it was fair for the price. Overall a great evening that left us eager to return! " (*Curated Review*)

I loved the shrimp scampi! Be warned, it can get a bit crowded, so try to go during off-peak hours. I can’t wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic dining experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with smiles. The handmade pasta tasted incredibly fresh, and I couldn't get enough of the marinara sauce! The service was top-notch. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations. My only complaint would be the wait time, but it was worth it for such delicious food. Highly recommend the lasagna; it's the best I've ever had! Will definitely be back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend recommended East of Italy, and I was not disappointed! The eggplant parmesan was delightful and paired well with a glass of red wine. The ambiance is perfect for a romantic dinner.

" I visited here during lunch, and it was a great experience. The lunch special was very affordable, with generous portions. I had the penne arrabbiata, which packed a punch! The only downside was a lack of attention from the staff during busy hours. Nevertheless, I appreciated the food's authenticity, reminiscent of my travels in Italy. I left satisfied and will come back during the week when it’s quieter. " (*Curated Review*)

" I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at East of Italy! We were a group of friends celebrating a birthday; everything from the bruschetta to the pizza was fantastic. It's evident they use high-quality ingredients; the flavors were brilliant. Our server was attentive and even surprised us with a complimentary dessert. Fantastic restaurant overall; I can't wait to go back and try more of their fantastic menu items! " (*Curated Review*)
