“We had friends in town for the night and knew we would get a good meal and experience at Gaia. We sat outside so had to pause conversation for the passing BNSF and Metra trains, but that is all part of the ambiance. We had the arrancini special appetizer which had the perfect ratio of rice to filling. I had the halibut, and it was perfectly prepared with a piccata sauce and angel hair. Our friends enjoyed that the staff is familiar and all welcoming which adds to the neighborhood feel.“

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!

“If you like Italian food, you’ll love Bacchanalia! Located in the Heart of Chicago, this restaurant has some of the finest dishes outside of downtown Chicago, with arguably the best lasagna in the city, as well as some of the best calamari and baked clams, and not to mention the tiramisu. I heard they make other good pastas, some excellent chicken and veal dishes, as well as a phenomenal Lake Superior Whitefish, which I would love to try! There are many amazing Italian restaurants in Chicago, and Bacchanalia is one of them! Go try it! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Visited Ela’s restaurant in Western Springs over the weekend. On Sunday they have a half off pizza special. Highly recommend the pizza. It is a thicker dough, but it is absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the calamari which was just as good. Service from Rebecca was exceptional and overall good experience.“

“My family visited for the first time yesterday, and were impressed! We loved the atmosphere and al fresco dining option. The arancini appetizer was absolutely delicious! The flavors of the (many) menu options we tried reminded me of the food my FIL would make. The owner was gracious and made our visit very special. My husband will be back for the Manhattan clam chowder, my daughter for the lemon burata ravioli and I will forever get the spumoni!“

“Great place to dine and great food“

“I owe the Jullianni's family an apology. I've been ordering here since 2009 when I moved to Palos and the food is always great. I always get delivery and the food is always hot, on time, and delicious. On top of that, their prices are extremely resonable, especially in today's economy. I should gave given this place a 5 star review 15 years ago. Restaurants like this are rare these days. The Palos community is very fortunate to have a local place like Jullianni's“

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

“Never disappoints, Marsha and the team are a well oiled machine! We spent another anniversary with them (we live a few blocks away and dine and take out often, but still our go to for special occasions) This time, we were treated to a full dessert of Cannoli Dip to celebrate! We'll done my friends! I'll post a photo of our dessert. Last time I did that, I have received over 80K views of the tiramisu!“

“Excelente servicio y comida deliciosa“

“We recently hosted a dinner event here, and from planning to the event itself, I cannot say how pleased I am we chose Il Vicolo. Vito worked with us on planning the menu, and both he and the staff we incredibly accommodating in terms of setting up their semi-private room for our event. The space itself, especially the back room, is gorgeous and intimate, and the food is spectacular. On top of this, entire waitstaff were incredibly friendly and ensured our guests were welcomed and taken care of well.

I’ll also note I had the opportunity to dine at Il Vicolo on my own, and that too was a wonderful experience. I had salad, a small appetizer, pizza, and dessert all of which were delicious. The service was excellent then as well, and the pacing was great. Time was given for each of the courses without it ever feeling like things were moving too slowly. The TL;DR of that being that I always had food to be eating without ever feeling like my plates were stacking up!

Finally, with the village lot just in back, parking is a breeze if you can’t walk or bike there. Highly recommend stopping in when you have the opportunity!“

“I was there September 12 Friday night for my birthday with my nieces. Our dinner was outstanding. The food was delicious. The service was great. We went two doors down and we had so much fun drinking and dancing and that service was great too. I will be going back for special occasions thank you for making my day special Tina 💜“

“oh my goodness I found this pizza by chance at my local Meijer. Hands down best frozen pizza or any take and bake. The sausage was delightful and the Cheese was The Cheesiest ever it actually did the cheese stretch. Great Job it doesn't deserve the Bottom shelf“

“One of the best spots for authentic Italian and the best traditional atmosphere and great service and customers!“

“Our first visit very delishes food reminds me of the friends who lived in the Italian neighborhood here in Chicago. Thank you all! Ed & Peg“

“One of my favorites in the west suburbs of Chicago.“

“We came here as a large group of 15 and the staff did a great job setting up tables outdoors quickly to accommodate us. The pizza itself was very good, and we all enjoyed the food. Our server seemed fairly new but was really putting in the effort, which we appreciated.

The only downside was that someone nearby was smoking, which took away from the experience since we had a pregnant guest and four very young children with us. The Smoke-Free Illinois Act applies to all outdoor eating and drinking areas, making it illegal to smoke there if employees are present to serve food which they were. The staff did not enforce this law which we felt they should have. We hope management can train their staff on this issue and that the staff enforce it.

All in all it was a good outing and the place has a lot of potential for families and groups.“

“We were celebrating our great granddaughters 8th birthday had s party of 7 there and our server Michelle was just awesome!! She was the sweetest friendly young lady!! We had the best time and she made it so special for my great granddaughter! The food was so delicious and everything hot served great!! Michelle is a great asset there, I hope we get her the next time we go. \nWe dine at this location often!!\nWe love Olive Garden this location and our sweet server Michelle!!“

“Had an issue with the appetizers. The waitress was outstanding. She took very good care of our table of 8 and made everything right. Things go wrong, but it is what you do to correct it that makes all the difference. This restaurant is family owned and understand customer service.“

“Posto 31 is arguably the best restaurant and ambiance in the La Grange/La Grange park area. The food is consistently high quality at a fair price point. Portion sizes are great and the drinks are delicious.“

“We always enjoy visiting with Bill and enjoying their delicious dishes (especially those crazy good wood fire pizzas!) Amazing!“

“Great food and wonderful service. Marge is so warm and friendly. For a lunch buffet a very pleasant experience. Will be back soon“

“This place was awesome for airport food! The service was outstanding!

I had a one hour layover in midway, and my gate was in another concourse. I felt like it was a small gamble to eat there and make it across the airport in time. But the service was simply top-notch!

The food was good too! The chicken tenders felt like Costco chicken tenders, but they were prepared well. The best part? The chicken wings! Order that appetizer because you won't regret it! The wings were huge for chicken wings! Everyone one had a good deal of meat on them. Really impresses that those giant wings were hiding in an airport.“

“The food was excellent. We were a party of 6 and everyone had something different. Portion sizes were large. Food was piping hot when served. Wait staff was friendly. The owner came over to check on our group at least twice during our dining experience. Loved the atmosphere. I will come here every time I’m visiting Chicago!“

“Pyszne jedzenie, miła obsługa bardzo pozytywna atmosfera. każdemu z czystym sercem polecę. owoce morza pychota. Bywam prywatnie i z grupami i każdy wraca zadowolony“

“This was my Family’s first time here, and we celebrated Thanksgiving. Jessica was our waitress. She did an excellent job and service to 9 of us. We also thanked her for coming in on a Holiday, with a great attitude. The food was delicious and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Thanks to the hostess who gave us a warm welcome.“

“A Chicago area Italian beef icon!“

“Love them best tacos in town and pizza! Huge pizza slices for cheap , and they are QUICK.“

“My sister Shelly Nagy purchased tickets to a Sunday afternoon drag brunch to celebrate my birthday! Marco not only held the door open for his guests, but he was also very kind and generous! He offered 2nd helpings (my only regret is that I did not indulge on that offer). Our meal was plentiful, delicious and presented beautifully! The bartenders cocktails (garnished w/ fresh flowers!) are pure elegance and his customer service skills are excellent! The drag show was a blast! The music was a hit (inside and out) and the upscale atmosphere will always have me anxiously waiting to come back soon! Thank you Marcos & Shelly for the most wonderful birthday celebration anyone will ever dream of! Gorgeous Downtown LaGrange is lucky to have Marco’s Kitchen! Take me back already!“
