" We tried Abbondanza last night and wow, what an experience! I ordered the classic lasagna and it was hands down one of the best I’ve encountered. Thick layers, gooey cheese, and a robust sauce! The service was also on point—our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. The only caveat was the wait for the food. They were very busy because of a music night; however, it was worth it. Next time, I’ll just remember to make a reservation! " (*Curated Review*)

" Don’t let the modest exterior fool you—this place is incredible! I popped in for a quick dinner and was amazed by the quality of the food. My spaghetti was perfectly al dente, and the marinara sauce was fresh and vibrant; you could really taste the tomatoes! Staff went above and beyond to create a welcoming patio vibe—even on a chilly evening. I would highly recommend trying out their specials as they seem to be the best item on the menu from what I saw.

" Had a charming dinner here on a weekday, and I was pleasantly surprised! The pacing of the meal was just right, not rushed at all. The main dish was the chicken cacciatore, flavorful and filling, made with fresh herbs. The tiramisu was light and creamy; it made for a perfect ending to our meal. The staff was also kind and attentive, creating a delightful dining experience. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a wonderful Italian meal in Marengo! " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent food and service! The restaurant has a fun vibe, though it can get a little loud. My colleagues and I had a team dinner, and every single plate was cleared—everyone loved their food! The marinara sauce stood out in my dish; it’s thick and satisfying. I would love to come back here for my next birthday celebration! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting and had fantastic time. The ambiance is cozy and charming—perfect for a date night. Both the pasta fagioli and stuffed mushrooms were the perfect starters. For my main, I went with the Eggplant Parmesan—so good! They really know their Italian here. Dessert, the cannoli, was delightful, a lovely way to finish the meal. The service was attentive without being annoying, I appreciated that. I'll be back and highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious! I couldn't have asked for a better family dinner. The kids loved their penne pasta with butter, my wife had the funghi pizza and I had the veal, which was melt in your mouth tender. Friendly and helpful service made the evening smooth and enjoyable. Parking was tough though, we ended up having to park on the street. Can't wait to return and explore the menu further! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Abbondanza Cucina recently and it exceeded my expectations! The garlic bread was fresh and warm; perfect to start our meal. For my main, I chose the Ziti al Forno, and it was rich and cheesy, just perfect. My friend's pizza looked amazing too. The service was professional and courteous. I loved my time there and will be bringing my family next time! " (*Curated Review*)
