" We had the most wonderful dinner at Il Cilentano Pasta Bar. The ambiance was cozy and warm, making it the perfect place for a casual but special evening. I had the spicy rigatoni and it was fantastic! Although the portions were a bit smaller than I expected, the quality was top-notch and the flavors were spot on. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly, which added to the experience. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were embraced by the comforting atmosphere. The homemade pastas were unlike anything I've tasted—so fresh and fulsome. Our waiter was attentive and accommodating. We definitely left with happy stomachs. Will be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a frequent visitor to North Beach, I can say Il Cilentano is a hidden gem! The fresh flavors and authentic recipes remind me of my travels in Italy. The truffle gnocchi is extraordinary; it’s the best I’ve had outside of Italy. The staff are friendly, making me feel like part of the family every time I visit. It's definitely worth the hype! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally got to try this restaurant after hearing great things! Both the rigatoni piccante and the gnocchi were phenomenal. Each bite tasted like pure indulgence. I'd say it's one of the best Italian experiences I’ve had in the area. I will absolutely return and try their famous tiramisu next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining here but ended up a bit disappointed. While the gnocchi was delicious, the portion sizes felt a little small for the prices. Service was fine but not particularly engaging. The atmosphere was decent, but it could use a little more charm. I might give it another try just for the food! " (*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*)
