43 Best Italian Restaurants near Algonquin

“We had our rehearsal dinner here Oct 17. It was amazing. The food was allergy friendly. The drinks were great. Prices were reasonable. This is now in my top 3 favorite restaurants. Can’t wait to come back. Also the creme brulee was amazing. 🤤“

“We typically use the drive thru. We like your food, always fresh and tasty. Tonight I had the chicken avocado and strawberry salad. The salad was fresh, walnuts were sweet and crispy, dressing was very creamy. The only criticism I have is my chicken avocado and strawberry salad had no avocados. I do understand sometimes you can run out of ingredients or supply chain issues can interfere with menus. I would just ask to have this made known to us upon ordering or upon discovery, all in the interest of good customer service that you usually do deliver.“

“Got catering for a recent party and can’t say enough good things. Initial communication from Erin was excellent, pickup time was spot-on (they were finishing everything up as I walked in), Erin packaged everything up really well and helped bring it out to the car, and the food… it was a total knock-out (we ordered Chicken Francese, Cavatelli, Eggplant Parmesan, House salad, and Sausage & Peppers). Every single person raved about how good it was. People were coming up for seconds, thirds, and almost everything was completely wiped out (and I always way over order so food never runs out). This is actually the second time we ordered catering and had excellent results both times, so I just needed to give credit where credit was very due. Thanks for making our party a hit and the experience as seamless and stress free as possible.“

“We tried Banushi’s today and really liked it. Grew up on Chicago pizza and this is Chicago in Algonquin. Crispy crust, good sauce. My husband likes lots of cheese, I prefer light cheese - this was the perfect compromise. Pickles appetizer and chicken soup were also good. Can’t wait to try the Chicken Parm. Great service, you can tell they take pride in what they do. We prefer to support local family places, we will be back!“

“Great pizza, wish they had zeppole on the dessert menu, it’s the only Rosati’s location I can’t find them at which results me in ordering from the next restaurant. I attached what zeppole look from the other locations, they don’t even have the appetizer version with the marinara. Crazy because they’re big sellers at other locations and they run out.“

“The best! Everything is fresh and amazing. Staff and owner treat u like family. AMAZING!!!“

“My husband and I love everything about florios!! It is our go to date night spot and we love to bring friends/family whenever we can. This place is delightful and the ambiance is beautiful! The food is AMAZING! It is delicious, authentic, and keeps us coming back for more. We have gone for anniversary, birthdays, and family gatherings. It is our new favorite spot!“

“Last night's dinner was truly wonderful. The amazing food and exceptional staff made our anniversary celebration unforgettable. Special thanks to Armando, Pete, and Brennan for their outstanding service. We will definitely be back.“

“The food is delicious every time.“

“Had ordered two entrees, one of them was vegan for pickup. Without me even asking, the manager gentleman told me that they purposely prepared it outside of the other foods. Not only do they cook delicious veggie friendly meals, they also go the extra. Simply excellent.“

“We love picking up a quick lunch here, our go-to are the Chicago style dogs. Always a treat for a work lunch!“

“These guys love the working man! Hooked up! Biggest Italian beef and sausage combo I have encountered in my life. And trust me I’ve encountered a few! Not only is it massive, it’s delicious. Their pizza is phenomenal. The service is fantastic. You can tell these guys love their customers. LFG!“

“i recently had a disappointing experience at a restaurant that I felt compelled to share. I went there for dinner with my fiancée, mother, and our two young kids, ages 3 and 1. Initially, the dinner was fantastic; we were enjoying our time together and the food was great. However, after about an hour and 20 minutes, we were abruptly told we had to leave because of other reservations. This was incredibly frustrating, especially since I still had my drink left, and we had just paid our tab As we were leaving, we encountered a manager and inquired about the situation. To our shock, she responded by asking if we knew how to read English, which felt incredibly rude and unprofessional. I pulled up my reservation online and nowhere does it say there was a time limit. To make matters worse, as we walked through the bar to exit, she followed my mother and physically shoved her three times. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable in any establishment, and it left a sour taste in what could have been a lovely evening. We called the cops to make a report as the manager "lucy" (she told me this was her name) should never be able to touch a customer. Especially since we were not refusing to leave AND my kids were there to witness it all. In the car my son kept asking why the lady pushed my mom . This shouldn't be something I need to answer as it never should have happened. She tried telling the cops she did not have the "intent" to hurt but to get us out . Yet we were not even refusing to leave...only letting her know it was rude as we still had stuff that was unfinished that we paid for. I understand that restaurants have to manage reservations, but there are respectful ways to handle these situations. Additionally, she left it up to the waiter to tell us we had to leave . I won't be returning, and I hope this feedback helps others make an informed decision. And please , if you were in the bar / restaurant when this all happened , speak up on how wrong it was of her to push someone like that.“

“Number one ☝️ 🤠 in Streamwood Illinois“

“We went to Woodfire for my birthday. The food and service is excellent. Vicki was our server and she was very friendly and attentive. The food is so fresh and homemade. The pizza crust is crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. There is an assortment of types of pizza, but the cheese pizza is the best I’ve ever had. The pasta is rich and delicious. It’s cooked perfectly and the vodka sauce is amazing. The appetizers, home brewed beer, and desserts are phenomenal too. Step aside Coopers Hawk, I have a new favorite restaurant!“

“During the 7 Friday’s of Lent we went to 5 different fish fry’s, and without a doubt Moretti’s was the best. Not only was the price the best, the amount of fish was the most without AYCE. Great French Fries, homemade coleslaw and plenty of tartar sauce. Another plus was Happy Hour Coors Light drafts for $3. I’d like to thank our server ( Will M. )for doing a great job.“

“I went to Dominick's for lunch special! I ordered pepperoni! The whole slice was covered! Not a spot missed! I will have to see if I can wait till next week to get another! 🍕“

“Great food & great service! Especially on a busy night with music in the square going on. They made sure I was taken care of after they saw me waiting to place an order. The traditional Margherita Pizza was delicious!“

“We found you guys years ago: your our favorite spot: Just tried your cauliflower pizza Omg it was fantastic!!!!!“

“On a cold frigid night. we ordered pizzas and food was delivered hot and prompt.Delicious pizza as always!“

“the foid was good the bartenders friendly, on the spot and gave service with a smile! band was great! dance floor tight tho.“

“Food was very good! Service started slowly but improved as it appeared that our waiter was initially slammed with a lot of tables. My opinion is to make your reservation in the main/original dining room as the outdoor/indoor area seemed to be loud.sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss“

“This is our go-to place for gluten-free pizza. As opposed to another popular nearby pizza place, the crust is actually fully baked. The GF crust is decent. Not as good as real crust, but better than others in the area. As with any GF pizza, I’d recommend eating it all the first night, as it’s never as good reheated.“

“It was a great visit for happy hour and our waitress Lani was the best ! She also made our drink in the bar and it was one of the best old fashioned I’ve ever had. We got 2 personal pizzas and meatballs for our appetizer. Great place to wind down after a busy day .“

“Miss this place it’s been years. And it didn’t disappoint. We got the western.“

“Zzas Italian beef is my absolute fave!! Fresh cut fries are amazing. We just tried meat lovers Square pizza...DELISH!“

“Love this Rosati’s location! Food is always ready on time and delicious! Thin crust pizza has a nice crispy thin crust (I’ve had other rosatis and they have been thicker like pan) with abundant cheese! Party packages are great too. Well priced. Friendly staff. Highly recommend!“

“I've ordered here a few times in the past but never had to order for a party. So yesterday I ordered pizza from these guys I was a bit impatient at the time. I was trying to find out what kind of special they had and it was hard to understand because they were talking so fast I unfortunately snapped a little bit as I asked him to slow down so I can understand what kind of specials they had he did it without any complaints and I ordered a few pizzas. When I showed up to pick up my pizza they were super busy. Our pizzas were made perfectly for what I asked for. I like ours a little crispier than most but not burnt. I got to give it to those guys they handled it very well specially when I was a little Snappy on the phone and now I understand why they were talking so fast because they were crazy busy when showed up. Even though they were that busy my pizza still came out great and cooked to the way I liked. So I felt like I needed to write a post about how good these guys were and thank them for their great pizza and patience.“

“I’ve been to plenty of pizza places, but Papa Saverio’s really stands out. The pizza is always hot, fresh, and loaded with toppings. The crust has the perfect balance of crisp and chew, and the sauce actually tastes homemade—not bland like a lot of other chains. Beyond the pizza, their pasta, sandwiches, and wings are just as good. The portions are generous and you always get your money’s worth.

The staff here is friendly, fast, and they actually care about getting the order right. Whether I call in, order online, or stop by for pickup, everything runs smoothly. It’s rare to find a place that feels this consistent.

If you’re looking for a place that serves quality food with great service, Papa Saverio’s is the spot. Easily my go-to in town!“

“we always order from rosatis we order 2 pizzas one double dough and one thin crust when you say light sauce on the double dough they due i never have to say real light because of my stomic i cant have much sauce they always due great for me the other pizza always taste good . thank you for great service“

“DELISH!!!! The Chicago Classic is a MUST HAVE! And the service is great :-)“

“Great pizza! Great service!“

“We recently had a luncheon at Moretti's in Elgin after the funeral of my mother, and I cannot say enough good things about our experience. From the beginning, the professionalism of manager, Felicia, her kindness, and willingness to make this as easy as possible for us during such a difficult time is deeply appreciated. Everything was top-notch: the accommodations, the food, and the service. We can and will definitely recommend for anyone needing a venue in the future. Thank you so very much!“

“Had an awesome time at this Rosati’s! The team here is super welcoming and really attentive. My food was prepared fast, and the pizza was absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself is clean, cozy, and well-maintained. Definitely one of the best pizzas I have enjoyed in a long time. Totally worth recommending.!“

“The best pizza I have ever had for years! 5 out of 5 stars recommendation!!! Yummy and I cannot stop eating.❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰“

“My friends surprised me for my birthday. Would definitely do it again.❤“

“Love Lou's. Ordered the pizzas, and went to pick them up. One took a little longer, and the employee gave us a 4 pack of cookies, for having to wait. Pizza was AWESOME! Love The Lou, deep dish with sausage. They also have a gluten free for those needing it!“

“Rosati’s Pizza never disappoints. The slices are always fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The crust has the perfect crisp, and the sauce has just the right amount of tang. The people here are genuinely friendly and make you feel welcome every time you walk in. Service is quick. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I’m craving a good slice. Highly recommend!“

“I absolutely love the lasagna here but tonight it is especially good!!! Very cheesy and I added cheese to the garlic bread for this cheese-a-holic!!“

“Came to Alfredo’s after an absence and saw they made vast improvements, it was clean, open and a nice place to eat, drink and gamble. Staff was pleasant. Enjoyed our experience and will be back“

“Wow! The staff, owners, and clientele here are awesome! This place is the most welcoming place I’ve ever experienced. 10/10“

“I used to have a bad history with this place a couple years ago where the service was terrible and took a long time. Today it was late at night almost a hour till closing, I ordered my pizza and wings, and everything was great. I was just getting out of work and running late so I called ahead and asked if they could wait 10 minutes for me and they were very nice about it. The employees are great and deserve a raise!“
