" The Garlic truly has something special! The attention to detail in every dish is evident, especially in their bruschetta. The portions were larger than expected, making it excellent for groups. The only downside was a bit of a wait before our table was ready. Still, so worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" For an Italian restaurant, The Garlic truly knows how to highlight its heritage. Their pizza offers an authentic taste that transported me straight to Italy. Coupled with great atmosphere and service, I had a fantastic evening. My friends and I loved every bite and plan to visit again for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a gem! The atmosphere is lively, and I loved taking in the unique decor. The portions were huge, enough to share, and the food was downright delicious. The only downside was the long wait time, but with good company and fabulous drinks, it made the wait feel shorter. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I found The Garlic to be overrated. Despite the charming atmosphere, the food just didn’t meet my expectations. The pasta was average, and I found the portion sizes smaller than I anticipated. Service was decent, but I won’t rush back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent experience! The garlic knots are dangerously good, and I loved my chicken parmesan. The interior design is quirky and sets a special mood. The service was prompt, and the order was right. I left satisfied and full. This is a must-visit when you’re in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting The Garlic was a delightful experience! The menu had a variety of options that all looked appetizing. I opted for the Chicken Marsala, and it was cooked to perfection. The portions are generous, providing good value. The server was friendly but seemed overwhelmed during peak hours. Overall, a lovely place! " (*Curated Review*)

" On a recent visit, the food was great but the service left much to be desired. I had incredibly high expectations based on reviews. The bread and garlic was heavenly, but my main course took far too long to arrive. The crowd was large, but I did not expect such a long wait for food. " (*Curated Review*)
