" Honestly, I was quite disappointed with my recent visit to Viola & Dot's. I had high expectations for the pasta, but unfortunately, it was undercooked and way too oily. The ambiance was nice, and I could tell the staff was trying their best, but I think they need to work on the food quality before I return. I wish I had just gone for the pizza instead. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm really torn about my experience at Viola & Dot's. I loved their thin crust pizza—it had the right amount of crunch and toppings that really popped! But the long wait time for service made the experience drag on. The ambiance is good—it just felt a bit hectic for my liking. I might return for the pizza but not during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Initially skeptical, I ended up enjoying my visit! The calzone I ordered was filling and stuffed to the brim, while the ambiance was lively. The staff was accommodating, especially when it came to my food sensitivities, which I greatly appreciated. While I felt some of the prices were a little high, the overall experience was quite relaxing and enjoyable. I would come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Waited longer for my pizza than I would have liked, and when it finally arrived, it was just lukewarm. Not what you want after being hungry! Although the pizza did taste okay—it was nothing special, really. Friendly staff, but a bit more organization is needed in the kitchen. Hopefully, next visit will be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Everything about Viola & Dot's had a charm to it! I had the meatball sub, and it was so good—honestly, the marinara sauce made it! Could have been a little more generous with the meatballs, but I won't complain too much! The setting is nice for small gatherings as well. I would recommend this spot without hesitation.

" I enjoyed my visit to Viola & Dot's. The pasta was flavorful, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. However, the service was a bit off; we faced a long wait time for our food. The environment was lively and clean, which I appreciated. I would recommend it if you're looking for good food but maybe go during a less busy hour to enjoy it fully! " (*Curated Review*)

" The pasta I had was quite delicious, and you could tell it was made fresh. I appreciated the friendly service and the cozy atmosphere. My only complaint was the lack of variety on the menu; it could use some new additions! But overall, I left feeling satisfied and will come back to try their pizza next time! " (*Curated Review*)
