" The service at 288 Lark is absolutely top-notch! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, which adds to the whole experience. I came here on a solo trip, and I felt completely taken care of. I sampled a few different dishes, including the pizza and a pasta dish. While the pizza was good, the pasta was out of this world! I will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely loved dining at 288 Lark! The specialty cocktails are fabulous, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Our appetizer was the octopus carpaccio, which was simply delightful. The atmosphere was romantic and intimate, perfect for an evening out with my partner. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Albany! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited 288 Lark on a busy Friday night. While the food was undoubtedly delicious, my experience was marred by a long wait for a table and for our food. I ordered the ravioli, and they were exquisite, but we had to wait almost an hour to get it. I think it was just a rough night for them, as the staff seemed overwhelmed. I'd definitely give them another chance because the ambiance and quality of food is something you don’t want to miss! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had the most incredible date night at 288 Lark. The ambiance was intimate and cozy, perfect for a romantic evening.

I had the octopus dish, and it was cooked to perfection—so fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a genuine Italian dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Best Italian food I've had in ages! The lasagna tasted just like my grandmother used to make. The chef came out to check on our table, and it felt very personal, which I really liked about the place. Prices were reasonable for the amount and quality of food. I'm happy to recommend this gem to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I celebrated my birthday at 288 Lark and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The owner, Ali, was incredibly welcoming and made a special effort to come over and wish me a happy birthday. The pasta cooked at our table was not only a show but an unforgettable taste! Limoncello afterward was the cherry on top. The setting is perfect for a special occasion. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to celebrate something special! " (*Curated Review*)

" Phenomenal experience! The pasta dish my friend ordered was made right at the table, and the service was impeccable. We had a delightful time and enjoyed the authentic flavors of Italy right here in Albany. The owner was hands-on, making sure we were satisfied. I would recommend this place to anyone who values good food and atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)
