"With the order, you can choose 2 toppings and 1 drizzle. I had my heart set on an ube/matcha swirl, but I learned that the only swirl options were ube/black sesame or matcha/vanilla, along with the flavors of the day. I opted for the matcha/vanilla swirl instead. Although the Cone Appetit cup looked small, it ended up being quite satisfying once filled generously with soft serve. For my toppings, I selected graham crackers and almonds, and I drizzled it with condensed milk. The soft serve had the perfect consistency and wasn’t overly sweet, which I appreciated. The service was great; the cashier was friendly and even let me sample some of the soft serve flavors. Cone Appetit is open from Thursday to Sunday, and there’s plenty of parking in a shared private lot. The shop is conveniently located west of 7 Eleven. This place was exactly what I needed! Their cold soft serve hit the spot and left me feeling very happy once I finished my delightful treat. I can't wait to return and maybe try one of their refreshing boba drinks too!"

"This was our second attempt to dine at this restaurant. Our first try was a year ago, but they were too busy to accommodate us. This time, we made reservations as recommended. They opened at 5, just like our reservations, and we were promptly seated. Our drink orders were taken, and our drinks arrived shortly after. We noticed that the wine glasses were a bit dirty, with one having lipstick stains on it. When the food arrived, along with bread, I tried the shrimp and mussels, which had a wonderful sweet yet spicy flavor. My wife had the Bolognese, which she thought was just average and wished for more flavor. The restaurant claims to make their pasta fresh daily, and it did taste fresh. Our server was pleasant, but we had difficulty getting her attention for more bread, so we had to ask another server for assistance. Overall, this Italian restaurant is one of the better options in the area, but we prefer other restaurants outside of this area. We will give it another try the next time we are in the area to see how it goes. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4"

"The food was excellent, but the service when picking up my order was lacking. Fortunately, after I got to my car, I had a nagging feeling that something wasn’t right. I checked my bag and discovered that a part of my order was missing. I suggest implementing a process on the takeout side where staff checks the contents of the bag before handing it to the customer. This way, customers can ensure their order is correct before leaving, rather than finding out later that something is missing. The food was delicious, and parking was a breeze. They just need a bit more refinement when it comes to customer service."

"My wife and I were in town from NY. Had a craving for Italian food. We happened upon this place. It is small and brings back many memories of Italian restaurants of old. We were greeted quickly and seated wherever we wanted. The young man that waited on us was attentive and quick with a smile. The food linguine and clams with shrimp for me and angel hair Sicilian for my wife was hot and and delicious. Sauce was home made perfection. We also had a small caesar salad first time in a long time I had a traditional homemade Caesar dressing. We finished our outing by grabbing a tiramisu to go. Fantastic and also homemade. From the people running this little gem to the quaint old-school Italian decor to the truly fantastic food!!!! I truly recommend you try this restaurant."

"I was disappointed to find that this restaurant does not offer any vegan alternatives, such as coconut cream instead of cow's milk cream, to make a vegan curry. Instead of accommodating vegan requests, they insist on offering options that are already vegan and refuse to make any modifications. I have been to Indian restaurants that are able to substitute coconut cream or other vegan alternatives, allowing customers to order any dish on the menu. The fact that this restaurant is unable to do so is quite surprising. They should consider hiring a new chef who is more accommodating to dietary restrictions and custom orders. For example, when I suggested they could simply omit the cream from a dish if they did not have a vegan substitute, they still refused. This is concerning, as they should be able to accommodate customers with allergies or dietary preferences. Until they become more customer-friendly in terms of nutrition and lifestyle choices, they do not deserve a positive review."
