50 Best Italian Restaurants near Burr Ridge

“Probably my third time ordering from here for family gatherings at my house and it's ALWAYS been terrific.
From ordering to pick, is fast n easy. Food is on time, hot and delicious. Pricing is on point. I feed 10 and the full trays are more than enough and always left overs that taste even better the next day. Meatballs are outstanding. Rigatoni in vodka sauce is everyone's favorite but the sausage giambotta blew me away, perfectly done. My families smiles while eating is great! Also everyone is so kind and friendly there. ☺️

“It’s great place with great service, a variety of wine options, and delicious pasta!! 100/10“

“We love this restaurant! The servers and the chef are very careful about preparing food that is allergy free for me! And the birthday treat of Lemon Italian Ice was just as excellent as our main courses. I had a modified dairy-free version of the shrimp with broccoli on linguine in tomato sauce rather than pistachio cream sauce, and my husband had linguine with clams in red sauce. Both were cooked to perfection!!!“

“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!!!“

“Fantastic food, server & the homemade lemoncello was such a treat! Tasted just like the ones we sampled in Italy in Oct 2022!“

“an instant superstar in this community, people will come from near and far for this quality of Italian.“

“INCREDIBLE Italian cuisine. Everything was made fresh to order by the owner himself, who also was our server! Small quaint little spot, like your typical little old school italian eatery in Little Italy! Highly reccommend! Oh, the best Vodka Sauce I have ever had in my life. Try the wrapped eggplant in Vodka Sauce, Maddone!“

“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!!“

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

“I have loved this place my whole life! Best pizza on the south side!“

“The food was great. I had the gluten free pasta with bolognese sauce, delish. Hubby had Rigatoni alla Cucina. I'm going to try that with gluten free pasta. But next I'll check out a gluten free pizza. Service was excellent, prices are decent and the atmosphere is adorable. We'll be back for sure.“

“We came for my daughters birthday. We had a reservation for 6:45 but they were running a behind but that's understandable for a Saturday night. Overall I'd give the food a 6.5 out 10. But the server is 10/10. Our server was Kara. And she is Phenomenal! She was So sweet, informative and personable. I felt like she Actually cared about experience. When she checked in to see how things tasted she really listened. She even sang happy birthday to my daughter. I'd Definitely come back to try some of the other things on the menu.“

“Excelente servicio y comida deliciosa“

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

“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!“

“I've been here a few times, and each time I come back to the restaurant, it feels like I'm back in Italy! The food is outstanding and the staff is incredible. Whether you dine inside or outside, it's just as good. Great restaurant for date night or going with the family! It's a new all-time favorite without question.

“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!“

“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!“

“Great place to dine and great food“

“Fantastic food and courteous service. Authentic, delicious Italian meals.“

“This is a hidden gem.

The Italian sub was very delicious along with the meatball sub.

If you haven't been to Jullianni's Puzza, you are missing out.

Staff is very friendly.“

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

“Lobster bisque soup and Handmade shrimp scampi pizza have to definitely taste! Because rich taste of lobster in a creamy, smooth base, soup typically combines a rich seafood broth with fresh lobster meat, often enhanced with cream, butter, and aromatic herbs , also fresh orange juice!“

“This restaurant makes you feel at home. The owner and staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food is also delicious and made with love! My favorite place to go after watching the Chicago Fire!“

“This was our third time dining at Capri, and once again, it did not disappoint! The calamari Capri is a must-try very flavorful. But our all-time favorite is the homemade rigatoni with vodka sauce; it’s simply unbeatable. Our server, Alba, made the experience even more special. She was one of the sweetest and most attentive servers we’ve ever had, making us feel like family. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and even the manager took the time to stop by our table to check on our food and service. Capri has definitely earned its place as one of our favorite date night spots!“

“We dined here tonight for the 1st time and Rosebud exceeded our expectations! Very welcoming from the moment we walked in until we left. Service was Great, Alex was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Food was outstanding, portions justified the price! Management was very helpful with a certificate that was no longer accepted but they honored it anyway as a courtesy. Great business sense, making the customer happy! We can't wait to come back!“

“Great food and service. Would recommend dining there.“

“I was on a soft diet for that diet and I thought of Olive Garden. I place a take out order because i had just left the hospital. I got there they was closed. I was willing to wait and i am glad i did. The food was great, Customer service meet my expectation. Branden was very friendly and professional. He is an asset to the company. I had not been to Olive Garden since you guys moved. I enjoyed my food. Hat off to the cooks. I will return very soon.“

“Wonderful cheese and pepperoni pizza.“

“The BEST restaurant!! I love how friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable they are while maintaining their professionalism. The food is delicious and they can always add and subtract items. If you can’t eat tomatoes in your salad, no problem. Extra cheese, no problem. An all around deliciously fantastic experience!“

“I cannot say enough about this place. Great food, great atmosphere, and great service. It is a must every time I’m in town. Tina is a wonderful server. It’s almost like I’m eating with family. She is accommodating and professional. Can’t wait for my next visit to Matones!!“

“Very nice. Highly recommend. Excellent food, very good service, great atmosphere and ambiance. Will definitely be back.“

“We had a 50th anniversary party for our parents scheduled at another restaurant that overbooked us. We frantically searched for somewhere comparable six days before the event. Fortunately, we found Gatto’s. It was not comparable; it was far superior than our original restaurant. I honestly expected it to feel like they were doing us a favor by hosting our party. Instead, we were treated like royalty. The food…THE FOOD. Best calamari, hands down, in my life. Our kids table of picky eaters polished off the entire family size bowl of rigatoni with vodka. It was incredible. The service was second to none. JJ and the rest of the crew took care of EVERYTHING. We WILL be back soon!“

“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“

“Pablo, our waiter, was exceptional. During our first visit here, he warmly welcomed us and showcased impressive knowledge of the menu, even extending to items not listed. He encouraged us to customize our meal to our liking, and he certainly delivered! For starters, we chose the grilled calamari and Rockefeller oysters. The calamari was tender and impeccably cooked, steering clear of the typical rubbery texture. Opting for balsamic instead of oil was a perfect choice. The oysters were superb, not overwhelmed with cheese. I ordered the veal picatta from the menu, expecting a thin slab, but was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion size. The angel hair pasta complemented the dish well, although I could have done without the mushrooms – a personal preference, which I should've mentioned. Nonetheless, if you're a mushroom enthusiast, they give you plenty. My boyfriend ordered off-menu, enjoying the Zuppe di Pesce with shrimp, clams, extra calamari, and rigatoni Diablo style in red sauce. It was absolutely amazing and satisfied his taste without being overly spicy. To accompany the meal, I had a glass of the house Chardonnay, which was light and buttery. Even my boyfriend, who doesn't typically drink wine, enjoyed it. Our heartfelt thanks to Pablo and the owner/chef Giovanni for an outstanding dining experience, both in terms of the meal and the service.“

“Lovely food and atmosphere...good service and an amazing building!“

“We were here for a funeral lunch, so a very sad family occasion, but the service was outstanding! They accomodated our table of food allergies with an absolutely delicious salmon dish, huge, rich, amazing! I did not try any of the breads, pasta, or desserts, but everything served family style to the non-celiac parts of our family disappeared at once. I would absolutely go back for a happier occasion. My cousin, who grew up in Elmhurst, chose Roberto's because it was his mom's absolute favorite place, and the lunch was in her memory.“

“Perfect venue for any party! We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary at the Lombard, Illinois Buca di Beppo and it was absolutely wonderful! Cassandra the manager made possible the perfect setting to accommodate all our guests, gifts and photos. The service was perfect and the food amazing. Cassandra spent a good deal of time explaining our food and drink choices with me which made menu planning so easy!
In summary, our event ran very smoothly and was a total success thanks to Cassandra and our great server Jose who made sure we had everything we needed on the day of our party, including cutting our cake! We highly recommend Buca di Beppo for any special gathering -personal or business.
Update: Today we returned to Buca Lombard for lunch and received the same great food and service from Kaitlyn our server. She told us about specials we weren’t aware of and was very helpful in ensuring we had the perfect dining experience!
Many thanks to Cassandra, Jose and Kaitlyn and the Buca chefs!!“

“very good razonable prizes“

“Well priced happy hour deals (both drinks and appetizers) and they offer a 14$ medium pizza of the month! Great for an affordable place to eat.

Inside they offer a lunch and dinner buffet, ample seating, a bar, and an arcade. All within a comfortable, friendly atmosphere.“

“Everything there runs better when MARY is working. She is friendly, efficient and seems to be able to multitask better than most employees at the Oak Lawn location. She’s the best !“

“Ordered DoorDash...pick up. Pops sends text, order ready..
Yet my husband was in there for 7 minutes. Soups are not listed on online menu. Aka..DD.onion rings..mediocre...no crackers with soup and chili. Beef great..pepper sandwich..good. needs garlic..olive oil..burn then a tad.“

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