" We dined here on a Saturday night and it was quite busy. Although the food was as good as expected, the service was slow, likely due to a full house. Nevertheless, the wait was worth it for the delicious shrimp tagliatelle. Next time, I'll be sure to reserve a table. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is definitely a hidden gem. The mushroom risotto was creamy and flavorful, and the ambiance was cozy yet chic. I would come back just for the risotto and to enjoy the Italian wine selection. Perfect for a cozy date night or a friendly get-together! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cardellino is a trendy Italian restaurant that genuinely delivers on quality food. I had the risotto and it was creamy with a flavor that lingered beautifully. The service is friendly, but the wait times can be a bit long here, so plan accordingly. Still, well worth a repeat visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love this restaurant given all the rave reviews, but it fell flat for me. The food was okay, but a bit underwhelming in taste. The service was fine, but I didn't feel the personal touch that you expect from a place that is reputed for high service levels. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cardellino quickly became my favorite Italian restaurant in the city! The vibes are lovely, and they have a great outdoor seating area. Every dish we tried was fabulously authentic and full of flavor - the meatballs were a personal highlight. Highly recommended for anyone looking for genuine Italian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
