Last night was our first time at Il Professore. Don't let the location in Countyline Plaza discourage you. We had just gotten home from Europe, and I was looking for somewhere different & authentically Italian to eat. We certainly found it with Il Professore. Everything was perfect including the charming ambience. The chef/owner is from Capri, one of the places we had traveled to, and he is delightful. Timmy had a House Salad & the Pappardelle Bolognese, and I had the Tuna Carpaccio and the Purple Gnocchi with Mushrooms and a Truffle sauce. FANTASTIC! Our Masi Riserva Amarone 2018 was delicious and service was impeccable. ❤️

We have been to IL Professore a few times and enjoyed it very much. However, last night was exceptional. We tried the Tasting Menu. Every course was better than the one before. Delicately battered and lightly fried Zucchini Blossoms followed by a perfect Tuna Carpaccio set the mood and high expectations. No disappointment in the Homemade Pappardelle with lamb and mushroom ragout that was unequalled as a sublime Pasta course. The Veal cutlet Milanese was thin with an almost untraceable crust that still managed to be crispy and leave the veal moist. The Limoncello Semi Freddo desert was perfect also. The best Italian Meal we have had in Palm Beach County in 6 years. Top all of that with friendly skillful service and you have a superb evening out. Thank you and congratulations.

Delicious fresh food. Friendly professional service. The whole Bronzino was baked perfectly in salt and served at the table. The pasta was house made - tender and fresh. Beautiful list of appropriate Italian wino. Can't wait to go again.

Wonderful food and experience. Feels like eating with family- so comfortable, fresh ingredients, delicious dishes- without the drama!

We are frequent diners at this restaurant because the food and preparation are outstanding. The service is always good and considerate. One of the best in north Palm Beach County.

Our friends in Boca had dinner last year. They drove the distance again because of the quality of the food. Overlook how modest the space is all 6 of us rated Il Professore a top restaurant. We all had 2 courses and different selections. He is a very talented chef. Service is superb. We made a reservation for next week 😊

We visit the area two or three times a year and always make it a point to come for dinner. The staff and food are always excellent. Ambience wise, this time we found the tables a bit too close together and was disturbed a few times with patrons coming and going and there not being enough room to maneuver exiting or entering without disturbing others who were eating. SOOOO CLOSE that we were bombarded by someone who was over zealous with bad perfume which our entire table could smell. We couldn't stay for dessert. Too close for comfort!!! But that's not a deal breaker! We'll go back to support a great dining experience.
Second time at Il Professore. Could not have been better. Outstanding service, fantastic food, and a broad menu with something for everybody. Can't wait to go back!

Perfect restaurant for our Easter lunch! We are new to the area and it popped up on yelp with awesome reviews. We decided to try it and the food was amazing! It was like being in Italy with fresh pastas, breads, seafood etc. I am gluten free but they actually made GF focaccia bread for me and also made sure my main dish was GF. We will definitely be back!!
Elyse
The food was exquisite! All fresh and homemade. My only comment is there was no hostess stand so when we arrived we were confused as to whom we should check in with. Other than that, the whole experience was top shelf, with amazing service and topped off with meeting our chef.

Simply delicious meal with attentive knowledgeable servers. Enjoyed their zucchini blossoms, filet w pecorino crust, lamb ragout and ended with chocolate soufflé. Will definitely return soon.

Riccardo, his son Giovanni and Pedro all do a terrific job making everyone feel welcome. Riccardo is the real deal serving authentic cuisine from his Capri roots. His dishes are well prepared and are delicious and nutritious. Perfect Italian sized portions are very welcome.
