" I had a very underwhelming experience last night at Canto. The atmosphere was nice, but the food left much to be desired. I ordered the carbonara, which I found overly salty and lacking creaminess. While my partner's dish looked appealing, the taste felt average at best. The service was friendly but not attentive enough for the busy night, and we felt like we were forgotten. Unfortunately, I won't be returning any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had another incredible experience at Canto last night! We celebrated a friend's promotion, and everything went smoothly from the start. The staff was joyous and accommodating; they really knew how to elevate our mood. The food was delightful with options that range from vegetarian pasta to meat dishes that all looked mouthwatering. The tagging cheese wheel for pasta was impressive. Besides, the environment was lively and welcoming. Already planning our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Canto. The ambiance was nice and the owner was friendly, but unfortunately, the service was a bit slow. We waited a long time for our drinks and then again for our food. The food itself was good, with the bruschetta being fresh and tasty, but not quite the authentic Italian flavor I expected. The vibe was lively, but the noise level was a bit much at times. I might give it another shot, but hopefully with better timing next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Canto out of curiosity after reading rave reviews, but my experience fell short. The service staff seemed overwhelmed and inattentive. I ordered the carbonara, which was overcooked and dry. The ambiance was pleasant but too loud to enjoy conversation. While my dining companions seemed to enjoy their meals, I can't say I had the same experience. I would consider a second try in hopes of a better outcome. " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment we stepped inside Canto, we felt welcomed. The space is beautifully designed, with plenty of natural light. We tried several dishes—the gnocchi, lasagna, and the sea bass, and each was a flavor explosion! The service was top-notch, very friendly and quick. The prices are fair considering the quality of the dishes. I'm already planning my next visit! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried Canto for the first time and were really pleased! The service staff was prompt, and the food arrived quickly. The pasta was nicely al dente, and the sauces had depth and flavor. I liked the shareable plates because it allowed us to sample a variety of what the menu had to offer and everything we tried was delicious. The atmosphere was buzzing with conversation and laughter, which definitely contributes to the experience. I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys good Italian dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful gem on the Upper West Side! My husband and I visited Canto for our anniversary and were treated like royalty. I ordered the arancini, and oh my, they were perfectly crisp and filled with molten cheese. The ambiance was warm and inviting, ideal for a celebration. For the main course, I had the lobster ravioli, and every bite was bliss! Exceptional food paired with cheerful service made for an unforgettable evening. We’ll definitely return to enjoy another beautiful meal! " (*Curated Review*)
