" I must admit, my experience at Waldo's was mixed. The ambiance was cozy, and the service was great initially, but then it slowed down after we placed our orders. The food was decent but didn't wow me. I tried the meatballs, and while they were good, I expected something a bit more authentic. The pricing seemed a little high for what I received. I feel like I might give it another try, as I've heard good things from others. " (*Curated Review*)

" Waldo's is a fantastic place for a relaxed night out. We enjoyed the ambiance and the friendly faces all around. The food was simply amazing! I had the lamb pasta dish, which was flavorful and generous in portions. My friends loved their choices as well, especially the lobster ravioli! We shared a few desserts at the end, which were simply delightful. Overall, I can say it's definitely worth a visit and I look forward to returning soon for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family celebrated a special occasion here and we were not disappointed! The staff was extremely accommodating and made us feel special the entire night. Each dish was filled with flavor; I highly recommend the lobster ravioli! The evening was topped off with a slice of chocolate cake that was heavenly. Definitely our new favorite spot for celebrations! " (*Curated Review*)

" Waldo's is truly Italian at its best! We had a fantastic meal where each dish was meticulously prepared and had layers of flavor. The service was attentive, and our server Brandi made excellent wine recommendations. I particularly loved the mussels as an appetizer. The marinara sauce complemented them perfectly. I’ll be returning soon to try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place came highly recommended, but my visit did not meet expectations. I found the seating to be cramped, and although my server was attentive enough, the food lacked the rich, authentic Italian flavors I was hoping for. I ordered the chicken parmesan but felt it was rather bland and uninspired. However, the wine selection was impressive and perfectly priced. I believe there's potential here, but they need to step up their game in the kitchen to really shine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Waldo's is a hidden gem! I stopped by for dinner with my friends and was pleasantly surprised by the vibrant atmosphere and delicious food. We ordered the calamari as an appetizer, which was perfectly crispy. I chose the lasagna for my main course, and it lived up to the high expectations set by the other reviews. My friends and I shared a few desserts which made for a perfect ending. The prices felt reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes. I can't wait to come back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Waldo's with a large group of friends for a celebration. The atmosphere was upbeat, and the decor was a wonderful touch. The food was good but didn’t fully satisfy my expectations; I thought the lasagna could have been hotter and a bit more flavorful. That said, everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals, so I might need to give it another shot! " (*Curated Review*)
