" I was really looking forward to my visit to Molinari's based on the reputation, but sadly, I found it underwhelming. The atmosphere was nice and the service was good, but the food lacked focus. My pasta was bland and not what I expected from an Italian kitchen. Not sure if I'd return based on this experience alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was mixed; I went with high expectations. The service was great, attentive but not overly intrusive. However, I found the food was average, especially the lasagna. It lacked the authentic taste that I was hoping for, which was quite a letdown for me. I would say they have potential but may need to refine their menu a bit more. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Molinari's was a pleasant one! The waitstaff was courteous and prompt. I had the short rib ravioli, which was delightful, but the accompanying sauce could have been more robust to complement the dish. Overall, it’s a nice spot for a casual meal with friends or family. I would love to give them another go! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the privilege to try Molinari's recently, and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was prompt and friendly. We started with the bruschetta, which was incredibly fresh, followed by the Chicken Piccata. The chicken was cooked perfectly, but I was hoping for a bit more sauce. Overall, a delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Molinari's this past weekend. The ambiance was really nice, though it was a bit loud. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was good, but I expected a bit more punch in flavors overall. The garlic bread is a must-have, though! Looking forward to visiting again and trying a new dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Molinari's and have dined here multiple times. Each dish I've tried is filled with quality ingredients and heart. However, I had the shrimp fra diavolo last week and found it a bit overcooked. Generally, the service is exceptional, and the vibe is very inviting. Still my go-to place for Italian! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I are regulars at Molinari's, and it has never failed us. The food is always delicious, and the servers are incredibly attentive. They have a comfortable vibe that always makes us feel at home. I had the lobster ravioli last visit, and it was spectacular! Highly recommend this Italian spot! " (*Curated Review*)
