" Came after hearing a lot about the 10-layer lasagna. Honestly, it was good, but I expected better; it lacked depth of flavor, which was disappointing. I truly loved the fresh-baked bread that came with it, though. Service was warm and pleasant, adding to the experience despite my letdown over the main dish. I’d recommend it for the ambiance alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited The Little Italian Place with my husband last night, and overall, we had a nice experience but with a few low points. I ordered the marinara pizza, which had a fresh, flavorful sauce; however, my husband was less impressed with his shrimp scampi. He said it tasted more like it came from the freezer. On the other hand, the complementary garlic bread was fantastic! The atmosphere is modern and busy, reflecting a lively Italian dining scene, but just be aware that this place does get packed, especially on weekends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed is an understatement. I made a reservation for a special dinner for my partner and I, but when we arrived, our table was given away. We were seated with little regard for our reservation. The food took what felt like an eternity to arrive. The fettuccine Alfredo was bland at best, with little flavor despite the Parmesan. The server tried to remedy the situation, but we won’t be coming back to a restaurant that couldn’t honor a simple reservation. Very disheartening! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful time at The Little Italian Place! I took my kids there, and they loved the pizza and gelato. The service was excellent, very attentive to our needs. My only complaint was that the restaurant felt a bit crowded, which made it difficult to hear each other talk. However, the food and service made up for the noise. I recommend this place for families looking to enjoy some good Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Though our first encounter with The Little Italian Place was mixed, I lean towards more positive experiences. While the pasta was spot on, I had some issues with the timing of our dishes arriving. It was a busy Friday night, and our group of six couldn’t believe how hard it was to get drinks refilled! It did affect our enjoyment; however, the food predominantly made up for it. I suggest trying the stuffed peppers—they’re delicious and filling! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love this place but was let down by the caliber of the food. The pasta I ordered was undercooked, and the sauce was overly salty. Service was okay, but our server seemed overwhelmed. I hoped for a better experience. Others seemed to be enjoying their meals, but I wouldn’t recommend the shrimp scampi. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dining experience was mixed this time around. The decor was charming and very welcoming, making it enticing. However, the fettuccine was overcooked, which was disappointing. Our server was accommodating but could have been a bit more attentive to our needs. I do hope this was just an off night because I came in with high expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
