" We stopped by Thompson Italian for a casual dinner. The food was solid, nothing too exceptional but definitely good. The atmosphere was pleasant and ideal for a date night. The staff were welcoming which added to the overall experience. I'll likely come back but might try other places first. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was eager to try Thompson Italian after hearing so many rave reviews. Overall, the food was good but not as spectacular as anticipated. While the squid ink pasta had great flavor, my friend's lamb meatballs were just average. The service was friendly, although we waited longer for our drinks than I would have liked. Still, the ambiance was lovely, and I’d like to give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Thompson Italian was a lovely experience! The staff were incredibly hospitable, and we appreciated their genuine interest in our satisfaction. The pastas were robust in flavor with an authentic touch, but the dessert stole the show. We’ll be back to enjoy it all again! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Italian food, you've found it! The tortellini was one of the best I’ve ever had. The flavors were bold and left me wanting more. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the attentive staff. This place should be on everyone's list if you're in Old Town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Thompson Italian with my partner last week. We enjoyed a cozy evening with good food and drinks. My one complaint would be the size of the portions; they seemed a bit small for the price. The flavors were excellent, but I could have used a little more on my plate! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had very high hopes for Thompson Italian, but my last visit left me a bit disappointed. The food lacked the zing I expected, though the presentation was beautiful. The ambiance is lovely for a night out, yet I felt the service could be more proactive. It has potential, but there are other spots I might prefer to return to. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I went to Thompson Italian last week and had a great time. The service was friendly, and the food tasted authentic. The portion sizes were adequate, with everyone leaving satisfied. I had the lamb meatballs and they were flavorful. The ambiance was just right for a family dinner. " (*Curated Review*)
