" If you want true Italian vibes, Viola & Dot's is worth a visit. The ingredients taste fresh, and what can I say about their pizzas? Divine! The crust is thin and just the right amount crispy. I also really enjoyed the staff—they were attentive without being overbearing. I would suggest they look into the seating arrangements for a more comfortable experience, but I will definitely be back for that amazing Margherita pizza. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent spot for a casual meal. The breadsticks were fantastic and overshadowed my mediocre pizza. The atmosphere feels inviting, but I wouldn't classify this as fine dining. The prices were competitive, not too bad for what you get. I might return but wouldn't prioritize it over other places. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited during the weekend, and the line was crazy! After waiting, I was ready for a fantastic pizza experience. Unfortunately, my pizza was lukewarm and overly cheesy. The sauce was bland, and I had better pies elsewhere. The staff was friendly, but they need to improve the food handling process. Overall, I left feeling unsatisfied with my meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about this place. While the atmosphere is undeniably warm and inviting, the service was a little disorganized, which detracted from my overall experience. I ordered the lasagna, which was large but lacked flavor. While dining, I overheard other customers complaining about cold pizzas. They definitely need to pay more attention to their food quality. I might give it another shot, but only after hearing some positive updates. " (*Curated Review*)

" When you want rustic Italian, this is the place! While visiting my family, we decided to have dinner here. I enjoyed every bite of my spaghetti and meatballs, which were both hearty and hearty. The wait staff were attentive and friendly, making sure our dining experience was enjoyable. A definite gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
