" I'm a frequent customer at Cimino's and their consistency keeps bringing me back! The ribs with pasta are my go-to dish and they don't disappoint. It was a little noisy on my last visit, but that's typical for a busy Italian place. I love how they seem to source quality ingredients. However, I noticed that the prices have gone up slightly, but the portion sizes remain large. Great value overall, even with the increase! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food and inviting atmosphere! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here, and we were impressed by the level of service. The waiter knew just what to recommend, and we ended up ordering a range of different appetizers followed by the Baked Ziti - a highly satisfying choice! The only downside was the noise level later in the evening, but it was good to see people enjoying themselves. I will recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was lucky enough to get a reservation here on a busy Friday night, and it was well worth it! Every dish presented to us was delectable — from apps to desserts! My favorite was the calamari, which was light and crispy, and the lemon cake was divine. I can’t recommend this place enough; great value for the quality of food offered! Will definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Cimino's was outstanding! The decor gave off a charming Italian vibe, and the staff was welcoming and attentive. The homemade pasta was a delightful surprise - you can taste the freshness in every bite. I ordered their famous Chicken George, and it was cooked to perfection! Overall, it was a memorable brunch experience, and I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed overall, I’ve never had such slow service in a seemingly busy restaurant. Our server did not check on us once during our meal, and we had to flag someone down for drink refills. The food was average at best; I expected better from a place with such a good reputation. The atmosphere had a nice vibe, though. I might consider returning, but this experience was not great at all. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a bit torn about Cimino's. On the one hand, the ambience is lovely and makes you feel like you’re in a classic Italian restaurant. However, the pizza I had was a letdown. The crust was dry and didn’t have the traditional flavor I expected from a place that prides itself on its Italian heritage. The service was adequate but could use more training as our drinks went empty for too long before being refilled. I wouldn’t discount the whole place just yet, as I’ve heard good things about their pasta dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided on Cimino's for dinner after hearing how great the Italian beef was from friends. We ordered a large pizza and an order of Italian beef sandwiches to share. The sandwich was a bit oily but flavorful; pizza was decent, not the best in the area though. The service was okay, but they seem to need to employ more servers during peak times. " (*Curated Review*)
