50 Best Italian Restaurants near Burbank

“I really enjoyed our meal at this location. We sat at the bar on 8/4 @ around 5:30. Our bartender/waiter was very courteous, professional and nice to talk to. And the food was excellent; the smaller potion size of lasagna was the perfect; I didn't need the larger size. Along with a salad, this meal was exactly what I was looking for at dinner-time.“

“Delicious!! Thin Crust Lots of sausage .. i love the green olive too! The mostaccioli and giant size meatballs .. mmmmm and that red sauce .. it’s heavenly !!“

“My Fiancé and I discovered this restaurant after watching “Somebody Feed Fill” and were inspired and intrigued by Sarah’s restaurant and craftsmanship. We had our eye on getting reservations here for a very long time and we ended up landing lunch reservations for my Fiancés birthday (whom is also a Chef). We just happened to be seated by the expo line near the kitchen where we saw Sarah working. From start to finish our server Rose, and Sarah made sure our experience was personalized special. Sarah even signed the cookbook we bought and menu! Everything was on point from the food to the service. I can see why it’s so hard to get a reservation here! If we could rate our experience higher we would. We greatly appreciate the hospitality and dedication that this restaurant displays!“

“I went here for my anniversary with my husband and the food was phenomenal. I highly recommend it.“

“We had a lovely dinner at Rose Mary last night and it was the most fabulous meal that we have had in some time. Amazing service, beautiful venue and the food was just so good. Simple but very complex; rustic but refined. And the service was impeccable. What a glorious end to our experience in Chicago!! Very highly recommend it. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Where do you go for dinner if you (regrettably) only have one night in Chicago? Gibson’s Italia, of course! From our first drink at the bar to our stunning riverfront table for dinner, everything was simply spectacular! We started by sharing the Arancini Cacio E Pepe and the Cacio E Pepe before savoring my filet mignon and her New York strip steak with sides of Brussels sprouts and handmade fries, topped off with an flaming baked Alaska! Destinee was the perfect attentive server who never rushed and gave us space to enjoy, and maître d’ Patrick and Manager Andrew added their personal touch and attention as well! I may never be hungry again, and my memories of the perfect night in Chicago will live on!“

“Pasta Veneta offers a good range of Italian classics, and we definitely had a nice meal. The burrata was a highlight — fresh and flavorful — and the pasta dishes were enjoyable, especially the truffle gnocchi, which had great depth of flavor. We also really liked the red wine blend. Worth a visit if you're looking for a dependable Italian option in the area.“

“Traveling to Chicago for a concert and this place stood out for a bite to eat. Our expectations of the food were exceeded and the staff was amazing!“

“A true hidden gem in Chicago. Tucked behind Tribune Tower, Bongiorno’s serves authentic Italian food straight from Sardinia and every bite proves it. The flavors are incredible, the portions are generous, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for the quality you’re getting. Honestly, I’d crown this the best Italian food in Chicago. I’ve been to all the Chicago Italian classics and this food is the most delicious and authentic. If you’re ever on Michigan Avenue or walking the Riverwalk and craving a delicious, authentic Italian meal, Bongiorno’s is the place to go. Warm up with an espresso martini, an old-fashioned, or a spritz, then save room for dessert. The homemade tiramisu was perfection, and dare I say, it might be the best gelato I’ve ever had. This spot is special. Do yourself a favor and find it.“

“Catered Easter dinner from Bella Mia and everything was exceptional - the food and the wonderful customer service. We will definitely be ordering again.“

“This is our favorite restaurant in the neighborhood, hands down. We've been regulars since they opened, and we're always leaving happy and satisfied. The owner is consistently very welcoming and genuinely glad to see us return. My husband is known for ordering his favorite dish, pork chop, and I for constantly asking for the Chef's cheesecake, which is usually not on the menu. I'm excited to hear about their new uptown location. Congratulations!“

“The food is delicious!! The staff friendly and very attentive. They help make the whole experience. The atmosphere is so warm and comfortable. I love an hour west of the city but if I will be in Chicago for dinner, it will be at Tuscany. 💚🤍❤️“

“The half chicken we ordered was really good, crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside. Enjoyed the salmon dish a lot as well, but I thought the baked ziti and tiramisu tasted like dishes I could get anywhere else. Portion size is pretty big. Waiters were very friendly.“

“Definitely recommend … delicious food and wonderful service!“

“Absolutely loved my experience here! The food and atmosphere were wonderful, but what really made the night special was the amazing bartender “Fernanda”
She is incredibly friendly, attentive, and knows exactly how to make the perfect cocktail. Her Aperol Spritzes and martinis are honestly some of the best I’ve ever had! 🍸✨

She made us feel so welcomed and taken care of from start to finish. Definitely ask for her when you visit—you won’t be disappointed! Highly recommend this place for great Italian food, drinks, and exceptional service. ❤“

“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!!!“

“We were there Saturday for the Roman experience! Not bad there we’re 4 of us. We were celebrating a birthday! Spend $400.00 and you would think they would acknowledge the birthday! No not at all ! No acknowledgment all!!! But I have to say they did say happy birthday!! When we leaving!! What would it cost the restaurant to send a piece of cake over! Maybe 5.00 after we spent 400.00 No more celebration there I tell you!“

“Absolutely the best Italian Beef sandwich on the south side, arguably the best in Chicago. The home made Giardiniera is also very good, with the perfect amount of heat. The sandwich is huge and the price is very good. Wish they had fresh cut fries. People working there are always nice. Small place, not a lot of seating, but has the old school Chicago vibe that I like. I live an hour away, but if I'm in the area I always stop in for a bite.“

“Thanksgiving dinner was so delicious, and we shared some other dishes. The simple lemon cake and a little bit of vanilla ice cream were so good that I didn’t really care for desserts. Our family had a wonderful experience with delicious food!“
