" Great little Italian spot! It's become a favorite for our family. Everything we’ve tried has been delicious. The calamari was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and our main dishes of pasta were equally delicious. It's great value for the quality you get. Just be cautious during rush hours; it can get quite busy and noisy! Overall, well worth a visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Finbar's for the first time last weekend, and I can't wait to go back! The atmosphere is so inviting, and the staff treated us like family. I had the lobster ravioli, which was a true highlight—packed with flavor and had a good amount of filling. We also shared a pizza, which was delectable but could use a few more toppings. Nonetheless, a wonderful experience that will stick with you long after you leave. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys good Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an excellent meal. The rigatoni was perfectly cooked, and the flavors were authentic and vibrant. The service was good, though there were times we felt a bit rushed. Understandably, they were busy, but I would appreciate a more relaxed experience. The atmosphere was lively and cheerful, and the cleanliness of the restaurant stood out to me. Overall, I enjoyed my visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem of an Italian restaurant! The moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with a warm welcome from the staff. I decided to try the stuffed mushrooms and was blown away by the flavor. The pasta dishes were spot on, reminiscent of the authentic meals I had while traveling through Italy. The ambiance is cozy, but they could benefit from a bit more space, as it felt crowded during peak hours. Overall, a fantastic experience that left me wanting to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finbar's is one of those places you just fall in love with. Each time we visit, we discover something new on the menu that we want to try. The calamari appetizer is delightful, and the pasta dishes are hearty and have that homemade feel. Service is generally great, but once we experienced a long wait for our desserts. Still, the staff was friendly and apologized for the delay. Just be prepared for a busy atmosphere on weekends; it can get loud, but it adds to the charm. We'll keep coming back for sure!

" I celebrated my birthday here, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The restaurant was buzzing with energy, the kind that makes you feel alive. The lasagna melted in my mouth, paired with a glass of their Chianti, it was sublime. The service was attentive and never intrusive, perfect for such a special occasion. I’m looking forward to coming here again, hopefully for another celebration. " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply phenomenal dining experience! I brought my family here for dinner, and everything from the bread to the dessert was delightful. The staff was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to cater to our needs, which we appreciated. The only downside was the noise level—it was a bit hard to hear each other at times. However, I would highly recommend Finbar's for anyone looking for a delicious Italian meal! " (*Curated Review*)
