“They have the best tacos! I eat here at least once a week. Worth every penny!“

“We as a family eat here, and the servers are always great... the food is amazing... we have eaten most of the pastas and different sauces... crispy chicken and mashed garlic potatoes are amazing... shrimp Diablo is delish if you can handle spicy hot... calamari and their arribiatta (sp?) It's a lite spicy sauce... also delish!!! Alfredo sauce amazing too.. try their beer... made for them by one of our brewery's here... it's on tap!“

“We love Lou's Addison! We've never had a mistake on an order, and the young ladies working week nights are always very nice. The only problem we've ever had is wait times for curbside service, but we're in a pandemic, whaddayagonnado. We'll definitely keep going to this location“

“The gyro cheeseburger is #1 in my book. The chicken bacon ranch sandwich and chicken Caesar pita are also a 10/10. I used to only get the pizza which is good too. If you only get the pizza then do yourselves a favor and try some other items on their menu. You will NOT be disappointed!!!!“

“BEST Italian food in Illinois, this place is absolutely amazing. We got the poblano soup and the rigatoni alla traverstin and it was the best pasta and soup I have ever had. I requested it to be spicy, and they made it exactly how I wanted it, it was wonderful! My husband ordered his without the spice and it was just as amazing. Also, it is very refreshing to have a restaurant where all of the waiter and waitresses have conversations with the guests, it was so great to see. We had Susanna and her sister and they were so sweet to us. They all are so hospitable and genuinely great people. We have tried many many Italian restaurants in the area, and this is by far the best one and a must try.“

“We received a gift card for Sonnys and decided to order one their family dinner options that comes with a half pan of whatever pasta and 3 different types of sauce, salad (we upgraded to the Sonnys Chopped salad and we're glad we did), meatballs and bread. The pasta and meat sauce was very tasty but the winner was the meatballs and salad! Super juicy and soft meatballs and the flavor was 🤌 and the salad was so jam packed with flavor and very fresh!! We will definitely be back!!!“

“Gpay didn't work and I had no physical card. After trying the Gpay several times, I gave up. The manager asked for the drink I was drinking back, lol. I got in the car, saw my wallet in the seat and decided not to go back in. I drove out of my way to try this food, but this experience with being asked for the drink back was shocking. #theapartmentlady“

“We were at a holiday/retirement party. Large group. We were well cared for. I highly recommend them for a date night, happy hour or a large party!“

“5 stars for HECTOR in Western Springs!!! Hands down this was the absolute best dining experience I’ve ever had! While the food was delicious and the overall ambiance and decor of the restaurant was cozy, it was our server that made this dining experience over the top, great! HECTOR, you are a gem, a diamond! You have an absolutely charming personality and made my mother in law’s birthday dinner an experience to remember! From your spot on suggestions, to your lovely rendition of “Happy Birthday”, to the funny banter, our whole family left talking about how wonderful you were! We will be back and we will be sure to come when you are serving! Thank you Hector!!!“

“I have nothing but compliments for this wonderful establishment! My fiancé and I went out to dinner last night and had a taste for authentic Italian. I found this place online and read nothing but wonderful reviews about the food, and service. Located in downtown Westmont. Parking was so easy (right across the street), and from the moment we walked in we were treated like royalty. The manager Sergio greeted us with a huge smile, sat us, and told us a little about the restaurant. Our server Alysa was nothing short of amazing, knowledgeable, and gave us wonderful recommendations. We felt like family! All of the food is made in house, pastas, sauces, and even the wine and desserts! You can taste the quality of the ingredients, and tell that every single person puts so much care into making sure every customer is happy. The whole experience was wonderful, and it’s so nice to see small (not chain restaurants) are thriving. It’s been a long time since we had an experience like this at a restaurant and we appreciate their hospitality! I think we found our new date night spot! We will be back!! OFTEN! If I could give 10 stars I would! 👏🏻🍾🩷🙏🏻🫶🏻“

“Just a fantastic place everything I order is always excellent! I ordered the sun-dried tomatoes and a side order of meatballs that were fantastic. I highly recommend this place the pizzas excellent the cannolis out of this world, etc..“

“This was our second time dining at Positano’s and it was just as fabulous! The food here is superb, the wait staff are very attentive and we love the photos on the wall! The Seabass was to die for and the grilled seafood appetizer was divine! Our only regret is that we live in New York and cannot be frequent patrons of this wonderful establishment! Mille Grazie!!“

“We tried the meatball & sausage sandwich. It was huge & delicious! The meatballs tasted just like mine! Staff/ owner really nice!“

“I was shocked at how authentic tasting the food was! The Roman pizza reminded me of my family's home cooking. The tiramisu was one of the best I've ever had. The manager of the Geneva location and serving staff are all extraordinary!“

“Truly a family-owned, family-run and family-centric establishment. We've witnessed them grow since they opened in 1999, and their craft is perfected. Whether you want a quiet date night with some ridiculously delicious pasta and wine; or a coffee and Gelato; or a quick lunch of a sandwich, pizza or arancini and pasta salad... you can't go wrong. They're expert caterers and you won't have to worry about a thing if you're hosting an event of any kind. Love!“

“The staff is so kind and accommodating! Plenty of bread for the hungry kids brought out immediately! The veal parm was so good - love the marinara sauce and large portion! We enjoyed the crispy calamari, risotto and chicken piccata! Service is great!“

“Our reservation was for 5pm and we walked in at 502pm. The food for both my wife and I were absolutely the best Italian food we have ever had. The price was excellent for such great quality. We will try to come at least once per month. Thank you very much for our delicious meals. We will see you soon.“

“great food and great atmosphere. the serve is hit or miss. mostly get great servers, but this one female server we had last night on May 4th, 2024, she was ride and short (as in didn't want to be social.. cold attitude. didn't even say Happy Birthday to my parents when we told the server we are here to celebrate their birthdays. the female server was such a k.u.n.t and had the audacity to say, "OKAY." really?? just an.. okay??! bad attitude. THANK GOD she had to leave early and another waiter took her place! he was so pleasant and we actually had him a year ago! it was nice. so pleasant and gave my oarents a special dessert and candle. if we were stuck with that female waitress, she'd probably purposely do something awful, th way her personality was.“

“Our entire experience was wonderful, from the valet parking, the excellent service, friendly faces, mouth watering entrees and delicious desserts! We are from southern Illinois and have always wanted to visit. So glad we did, as we had an excellent time, never felt rushed and will definitely visit again!“

“Food was delicious. Service was great and nice ambiance too. Lunch menu was reasonable & delish.“

“Love this place. Great flavorful food, great wait staff. Our “goto” place for great comfort food.“

“Exceptional Italian food“

“Been here a handful of times ..
The pizza is th Star !!
Last few times the food was not as on par with the first 3-4 times.
Staff was slow and food was slow.
The first few times i went was when they first opened.
Seems service went down a bit!“

“Service is excellent and warm. Food is outstanding and delicious. Highly recommend to anyone who has a taste for authentic home made Italian cuisine! We’ll be back!“

“The scratch food is AMAZING! We had Rachel as our server, and was delighted! She's responsive and friendly. And their whole staff was a well oiled machine! And, great wine!“

“We were a fan of the fabulous food already. But when my husband and daughter planned a surprise Birthday party for me, we were VERY impressed. They said whenever they asked Ricardo for something the only thing they heard was: No problem! OR… Whatever you need! And ALL of our guests complimented the food and most took home doggie bags. If you need a party room and want to work with the most accommodating staff - give Ricardo a call. If I could give a 10 star rating - I would. I promise you won’t be disappointed!“

“This past weekend a group ( 14 ) of us experienced a wonderful evening at Pazzi Di Pizza in Elmhurst. It was a fun get-together that was enhanced by great appetizers and varied, delicious pizzas. We also were served by some of the best and most courteous staff we have ever experienced. Marco, the Manager, who attentively scheduled our evening, came over, introduced himself, inquired about our needs, and then introduced us to Charlie, our evening's server. Charlie was exceptional!! It was our second time meeting at this venue, and I highly recommend a visit!“

“I just had a "Picante" sub sandwich. Wow, what a delicious meal! Bring your appetite, because your taste buds arent going to want to stop.“

“Amazing staff and the food was literally so fresh and DELICIOUS!!!! Worth the trip & portions are HUGE! I had the Diablo shrimp pasta, so flavorful and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Will be back again! :)“

“awesome place thank you Jackie and Gio“

“Wanted some pizza I can't get at home and boy did you all deliver! Excellent pie! I can't get a good wood fired pizza where I live and stuck with subpar pizza and ingredients. If I'm ever back in Schaumburg I'm getting another pizza for sure!!! Only issue is I can't get your pizza in northern Michigan. 🤣 5/5 one of the best pizzas I've ever gotten , especially a take out pizza! So dang good!“

“Great service and always consistent food. They have a partnership until August 23 with @makeawish“

“Everything we ordered, beef/sausage combo , baptized with giardinera + regular baptized beef with sweet peppers and an order of fries. The best!
Young man at the counter was very upbeat, genuine, and professional. He came to our table to help me download the new app and apply the points from my purchase. What a sweetheart.
The place was very well kept; clean, no napkins on the floor. Clean tables. Not like Port!//@$.“

“Our food was delicious! We ordered the goat cheese as an app. Our dinner was the Braised short ribs with risotto, And I got the Filet Trio. So yummy!!!“

“First time diner. Very good food. Will go again.“

“Villaggio Ristorante Dear Beto, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible experience my family and I had at Villaggio Ristorante for my daughter's wedding shower on May 18, 2025. From start to finish, every detail was handled with such care and professionalism. Your dedication to excellence shines through in every aspect of your restaurant. The service was impeccable—your staff was attentive, kind, and ensured that every guest felt welcomed and comfortable. And the food—absolutely exquisite! Every dish was prepared to perfection and left a lasting impression on everyone who attended. You truly go above and beyond for your guests, and it does not go unnoticed. This special day was made even more memorable because of the warmth and hospitality you and your team provided. Thank you again for everything. I will happily recommend Villaggio Ristorante to all my family and friends, knowing they will receive nothing but the best. Warm regards, Julie Loverdi“

“They had great food !! I liked their chicken with sauce on it !! Very tasty !!“

“Incredible food. Very high quality“

“My mom and sister-in-law hosted my bridal shower here in September. The staff at Rosemary & Jeans were very friendly! They did an amazing job waiting on us and making sure we had enough food and drinks. They also allowed my mom and sister-in-law to come in early and decorate the space. Everyone raved about the food and drinks (especially the chicken & sausage cacciatore and the prosecco bar!) I would highly recommend using Rosemary & Jeans to host your next party!“

“One of the few remaining ethnic food festivals around. The old-time carnival rides were full of fun for the grandkids. The food was provided by many mom & pop shops who have been cooking Italian for years. No admission charge and each vendor charging $2 - 3 per item. Adjacent Taste of Mexico section provides even more variety. The Folklorico dancers put on a most professional show as did the other entertainment stages. Will definitely bring the family back next year.“

“I have been coming to this location for a little over a year now and they just. don’t. miss. You walk in that front door and they are always ready to push out orders! I go so often I’m starting to think I annoy them a little 😂 all jokes aside, I have tried pizza from all over the state and others too, but nothing can compare to a slice from Anthony B’s. They never have the pizza just sitting it’s always fresh and piping hot. It’s HONESTLY the BEST PIZZA I have ever tasted in my life. I find myself coming back at least once a week (or more 😂) if you feel like you’ve never tasted REAL pizza come to Anthony B’s, you’ll never want a slice from anywhere else. Thank you to the amazing employees who are dedicated to providing AMAZING quality and thank you specifically the young lady with the blonde streaks, she is so so amazing, kind and SUCH a hard worker. Thank you Anthony B’s for being so MARVELOUS !“
