The lasagne, bruschetta, and Caesar salad was great and very tasty! Everyone enjoyed the great flavor! I will definitely try Capi Express again! And a personal thanks to Brenda for taking my order and all of her assistance!“

“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.“

“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! 👏🏻🍾🩷🙏🏻🫶🏻“

“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!!!“

“Excellent food, great service, knowledgeable waitress“

“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!!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Was perfect. Great wine great food. Great service. Will be back. Thank u.“

“EVERYTHING on the menu looks delicious! Everything our party had that evening WAS delicious! Fettucine Alfredo prepared tableside, in a cheese bowl...unbelievable. The food, desserts, drinks...exceptional. Jay, behind the bar is a master craftsman and everyone there were absolutely wonderful. We are already planning our next visit there. GREAT choice for a wonderful meal with family and friends, or even date nights.“

“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.“

“we have ordered the lasagna several times and it is always great!“

“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“

“My favorite place in Oak Park! Authentic Italian food! Vito knows what he is doing and how to treat his customers! I love that he wonders around the table and greets customers. It was my first time back in a decade (was out of the Country) and he still remembered! Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“I had the salmon with guacamole and asparagus, and a bit of of salad greens and it was splendid beyond my wildest dreams. I can't wait to return to have this delicious dish. However, I would recommend that your Weight staff be trained more effectively in proper serving Lady surfers, not reaching plates in front of other diners just a general correction of manners. They are lovely young people, but they do not seem to have practice the proper way to serve. I'd send this as a gentle reminder not as a criticism we can't wait to return to Roberto's . Margaret A Harmon busy.“

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

“very good razonable prizes“

“Atmosphere deserves more stars here. Had a great date night with my wife. Servers were awesome, but the atmosphere.. it's as if you got welcomed into someone's Sunday night dinner and that someone serves you nothing but GREAT food. Get an appetizer. Definitely get the cookie skillet.“

“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.“

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

“We had a private 70th Birthday at the Downer’s Grove location last weekend The food (buffet) was great, and the service was top notch. Our server Rocky and his team were on top of every detail. Our 55 guests were taken care of like we were family. I’d highly recommend this restaurant for your events!“

“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.“

“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.

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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Asked for a slice of sausage pizza, one small order of fries, and grape crush soda. Paid and took to the restroom to wash my hands. Came out with two slices of pizza and two cans of grape soda. I was confused. Asked the register lady if she charged me for two and she said no they cut the slice in half and it comes with an extra can of pop. Was charged $14 bucks. Not what I ordered. Pizza and fries are fire tho. AC was on point.“

“Since we moved to the area in 2017 this has been our go to spot for my wife and two daughters, last night again did not disappoint - the food , service is on point every time! It’s nice to have a place to go to and wind down after a long week!“

“I had the cheeseburger day cheeseburger for 2.99 and it was great. The french fries were delicious crisp salted well. NOT greasy. One if the best malted shakes I've had in a long time. The girl at the drive thru was so sweet and personable. I will be back“

“Our family had many memorable meals at Papa Passero’s as my three sons were growing up! It brings back wonderful memories! I was recently there with friends, and it still does a great job of taking care of whole families! Bravo!“
