" Nice ambiance, and a great menu with a variety of choices. However, I felt my dish was lacking in flavor and was slightly undercooked. Our server was busy but attentive. I’d give it another try, as the place seemed to have a lot of loyal customers, which usually means something good, I hope. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had dinner at Il Violino last weekend and enjoyed it very much. The space was cozy with nice decor, and the service was hospitable—very attentive but not overbearing. I enjoyed the polenta as an appetizer, and it was delicious. The main course, however, was just okay. The flavors were simple and didn't quite stand out. It's definitely a nice neighborhood spot, but I think there are better options for Italian food elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" An incredible experience! My friend and I went to Il Violino after a lovely afternoon exploring the Upper West Side. The restaurant was welcoming, and the waitstaff was phenomenal. We shared the calamari, which was tender and flavorful. I had the fettuccine Alfredo, and though richer than expected, I loved it! The ambiance was lively but not too noisy, making it perfect for conversation. I left feeling happy and satisfied. Can't wait to return and try more from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely dinner spot if you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine! My partner and I shared a mixed antipasto platter for starters, which was delightful. I had a classic margherita pizza as my main, baked to perfection. The service was inviting, and we felt well taken care of throughout our meal. The atmosphere was cozy and vibrant, perfect for dinner with friends or family. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience at Il Violino! I celebrated my birthday here, and I couldn't have chosen a better place. The staff showed exceptional hospitality, making our night even more special. The fettuccine was divine—it definitely ranks among the best I've ever had. I hope to make this my go-to spot for Italian food going forward! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Il Violino after hearing good reviews, and it lived up to the hype! The atmosphere was charming, filled with soft music that made for a relaxing dinner. I ordered the risotto, and it was rich with flavor. Service was friendly, and while I wished for a bit more variety on the menu, I can't complain about the quality. A lovely experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Don't overlook Il Violino when looking for good Italian! The staff were welcoming, and the food was excellent. I ordered the veal, and my friends tried the seafood dishes—they all enjoyed their meals. Ambiance is lively and feels like a classic Italian diner. I would recommend it without hesitation!
