" Don’t take this place for granted! We loved our experience full of authentic Italian cuisine. The quality of food is impeccable, and the gnocchi actually melted in my mouth. The only downside was I wished I could fit in more pasta! The restaurant's vibe is cozy and low-key, perfect for intimate gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)

" A perfect date night restaurant! The romantic setting is accompanied by delicious authentic Italian cuisine. My partner and I ordered a variety of dishes and were pleased with each one. The service was attentive without being intrusive. I do wish the portions were a little larger, but the quality made it worth every penny! " (*Curated Review*)

" Il Cilentano Pasta Bar blew my mind! The lobster ravioli was packed with flavor and the sauce was perfectly balanced. I've been to Italy, and this is the closest I've found to authentic Italian cuisine in the States. The atmosphere was intimate but lively, just what I wanted for a dinner date. I'm definitely coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" An utterly charming little Italian restaurant that feels like a slice of Italy! We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and the pasta was everything we hoped it would be—fresh, flavorful, and just like Nonna made it! My only complaint is that the portions are not the biggest, but every bite is worth it. I couldn't resist the tiramisu for dessert. We will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The energy and vibe in Il Cilentano are contagious! The owner creates such a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. The homemade pastas are divine, and while the desserts are remarkable, they make you wish the portions for mains were a tad larger, but the quality is spot on. Highly recommend this place to everyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Always a delightful experience here! The owner is passionate about his menu, and you can taste the love in every dish. I had the lobster ravioli and I kept raving about it long after the meal. It’s charming inside, ideal for intimate meals with family or friends. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Italian! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited for a late-night meal and was excited about the menu options. The food is genuinely good, but I found the atmosphere a little lacking. It feels more like a casual diner than a fine dining experience. I would recommend it for a quick meal but not for a special occasion. " (*Curated Review*)
