" I finally made it to Machiavelli's, and I cannot express how delighted I am with the experience! From the moment I walked in, the rustic decor embraced me. I ordered their famed lasagna, and it was absolutely divine, rich with flavor and perfectly cooked. My friend had the mushroom risotto, which was creamy and aromatic. Adding to the ambiance was soft Italian music, which made our meal feel special. The service was attentive, and our waiter had excellent recommendations. I can't wait to return and try more on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Took my family to Machiavelli's for dinner after hearing good things, and we must admit, it delivered! From the garlicky bread to the homemade sauces, everything was fantastic. The kids shared a pepperoni pizza, and it disappeared within minutes! I went for the chicken marsala, which was succulent but could have used a bit more seasoning. The only downside was the long wait for our main courses to arrive, but the food made it worth it in the end. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Machiavelli's! The food was genuinely good Italian fare. The lasagna was rich and cheesy, while my partner's risotto was creamy and satisfying. They are generous with portion sizes, which is always a plus. The service, however, could use some improvement; it took a while to get our bills settled. Still, it's a good place to enjoy comforting Italian meals. Would come back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Machiavelli's is a must-visit restaurant if you're in town! The cozy atmosphere, combined with historical charm, makes it a unique dining location. The sauces are clearly made from scratch, bursting with flavor. I had the chicken Alfredo, which was creamy and rich, while my husband went for the pepperoni pizza, which he devoured quickly. The only downside was that the service was a bit overwhelmed during peak hours, but we'll definitely return for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely delightful! Machiavelli's has become my new favorite spot in town. I love the ambiance and feel of the place; it’s warm and welcoming. I tried the pappardelle and was blown away by how flavorful it was. You could taste each ingredient’s freshness in every bite. The service was friendly and prompt, too. I left feeling satisfied and cared for. Highly recommend visiting if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wanted to try Machiavelli's for ages, and finally made my way there. I had the pollo marsala and let me tell you, it was heavenly! Juicy chicken in a flavorful wine sauce alongside a bed of mashed potatoes. The only downside was my partner’s dish came 15 minutes later, which made it awkward. I understand busy nights, but hope for better next time. Overall, I would highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a huge fan of pizza, and I’ve tried quite a few places around town, but nothing compares to Machiavelli's! Their thin-crust pizza is delightful, bursting with fresh ingredients. I also had their meatballs as an appetizer, which were succulent and perfectly seasoned. My only complaint would be about the wait staff; they were pleasant but seemed a bit distracted. Overall, my dining experience was lovely, and I’ll be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)
