" I came here with my girlfriend for a date night and was enchanted by the romantic ambiance. The staff was lovely, and the prices were reasonable. I opted for the lasagna, which was indeed good, but I wouldn't say it was memorable. The meat sauce tasted a little bland for my preference, but the garlic bread was heavenly! We'll definitely be back to try the pizza that everyone's raving about. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delightful experience at Cimino's! From the attentive service to the flavorful dishes, it was a positive outing. The bruschetta we ordered as an appetizer was seasoned well, followed by a delicious pepperoni pizza that was shared among friends. It was filling and satisfying, just the thing we craved after a long day. The only hiccup was the wait time for our food, but it was worth it. I will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the best birthday meal at Cimino's! The staff surprised me with a dessert on the house — a sweet touch that made my day. My friends and I feasted on different pizzas and each one was a hit! The crust was just the right amount of crispy and the toppings were generously applied. Very commendable service, even amid a busy Saturday night. Can't wait to return for my next celebration! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Cimino's, and it was an absolute treat! The restaurant was filled with the sound of upbeat Rat Pack tunes, adding a nostalgic touch to our dinner. I ordered the Spinach Artichoke dip as an appetizer, and it was divine! For my main course, I went with the Chicken Alfredo, which was creamy and rich without feeling heavy. The only downside was the wait time for our food, but luckily the atmosphere kept us entertained. I’m definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had dinner at Cimino's and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! The shrimp scampi was cooked perfectly, and the bread it came with was warm and heavenly. The atmosphere was buzzing with activity, which made for a delightful dinner experience. It was a bit busy, and our waiter was a little overwhelmed, but she was still smiling and helpful. Overall, I would recommend trying this restaurant for a taste of Italian cuisine! " (*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*)
