"I've dined here many times. There's never been a wait for a table. Their patio has a nice ambiance with the overhead lights, and even when most tables are full, decently quiet. The staff is always very attentive, even when we've come late, and have stayed until closing. Good wines, good Italian beers, good food, great staff... can't go wrong."

"First time there was for Mother's day - although this is not the white tablecloth experience my wife usually favors on Mother's Day, she was very impressed and happy with the entire experience at The Bent Noodle. Everything was excellent from the moment we walked in: the greeting, the staff, the service, the food.... especially the food! The salmon and the Tuscan pot roast were AMAZING! Definately going back again and again!!!"

"Everything was fantastic. The service was flawless. The only criticism I can give is the cheese on the baked ziti is rubbery so they should definitely look into a better mozzarella and their marinara is plain (which should be devastating news for any self-respecting Italian restaurant). But the entrees, appetizers, and deserts are superb. Especially the stuffed salmon."

"I love the Bent Noodle! The food is always good, especially the Tuscan Pot Roast. I feel the service was over and above average. We had a large group of people and the wait staff were very attentive. I always recommend The Bent Noodle to people looking for a good place to eat."

"We reserved a group of 8, that turned into 9, for our daughter's 21st birthday lunch. We were quickly seated. They readily made the changes to seat our 9th member with out a hitch. Everyone was warm and friendly. Our daughter received a Birthday cocktail for free. The food was delicious and the warm cheese bread was delicious."

"The place is has a nice small town feel in the middle of Aurora. We were there for Valentine's Day so they were extremely busy. The place was very noisy, but not in a bad way. Because of the noise and tight accomodations it is kid-friendly. Salads are not included in the price. One can be added on for just shy of $5 for a saucer size or $9 for a large. The food was marginal as my creamy sauce was not blended well and had separated. I love my pasta but this just didn't make the cut for me. You'd be better off at the Olive Garden for the money. If you're looking for a nice neighborhood restaurant with friendly people this is the place. We've been there 3 times in 10 years and have had the same reaction each time. Not good, not bad.."

"After several always-perfect dinners here, this has become our favorite Italian restaurant in the Metro area. Their roasted red pepper marinara brings tears to my eyes. Their seafood is always fresh and perfectly cooked. Best Italian sausage I've had since I left the northeast. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu."
