“I catered my wife birthday from Capi Express and it was delicious! I picked up my order it was timely, warm, and had all the necessary condiments! 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!“

“Food was excellent. Service impeccable! Will definitely go back again!“

“Best calamari and eggplant around. My husband and I go to different restaurants on Friday's for calamari & eggplant parmesan . Antonino's is the best.“

“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!“

“Our Women of Impact group had a celebration dinner Thursday evening February 2nd. ✝️ We were treated like royalty. 👑 Delicious yummy food and the service was outstanding! 😋 Thank you Kristen and Tacho for your excellent service and helping us to celebrate! 🎉 We will definitely be back soon!💕“

“Andy is the best. He has great staff. The food is AMAZING!!! We go as often as possible!!!“

“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!!!“

“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. ❤“

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

“Amazing food and hospitality“

“My first time trying Giuliano’s! I picked up a pizza last evening and literally could not stop eating it. This is arguably the BEST pizza in the entire Chicago suburbs. I got thin crust with spinach and roasted red peppers. The sauce, cheese, and toppings were absolutely amazing. What a great find and will recommend to all my friends!!“

“I’ve been eager to try Mortadeli since it first opened, and after hearing so many rave reviews, I finally had the chance to stop by for lunch yesterday. Let me tell you, everything everyone says about this place is spot on! First off, the food is absolutely delicious. Everything on the menu is so tempting, it was hard to choose, but I went with the meatball sub and pasta salad. As someone whose grandmother made the best meatball sandwiches, my expectations were high – but Mortadeli’s version did not disappoint! It was fantastic. The pasta salad was also amazing, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere at Mortadeli is incredibly inviting – it strikes the perfect balance between classy and cozy. The staff are very friendly, and you can tell they genuinely care about making your experience special. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff and quick delivery of our food. One of the owners even took the time to chat with us a bit. Another pleasant surprise was the parking – I had my doubts at first, but we found a spot just around the corner with no problem at all. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and I’ll definitely be back. Mortadeli is a must-visit!“

“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!!“

“Excelente servicio y comida deliciosa“

“Best italian food ever!“

“The service is always so great and the decor makes you feel right at home. The gluten free options are limited but solid, this time I had the calamari appetizer and eggplant parm with spinach instead of pasta as the side. My husband raved about the braciole!“

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

“Solid food every time! Had great risotto last night, their pastas are always good & great cocktails. Take home family meals are delicious and a lot of food for the money. Recommend!“

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

“EXCELLENT FOOD AND SERVICE EVERY TIME!“

“We did gonat 8:00pm on Sunday night, so restaurant was empty. Food was excellent, service great. Only thing I would complain about was that towards the end of our meal, we felt as if we were being rushed. They literally were coming by and taking plates and silverware when we weren't completely done, otherwise all was goid“

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

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

“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!“

“The food and atmosphere were great!!!!!!!! Reasonably priced and attentive service!“

“Food is fantastic with great portions. Get you some good food here.“

“Great atmosphere and great food and drinks. We came here for my friend’s birthday and John M was an excellent server! The mozzarella is EXCELLENT! It was in the caprese and the risotto and was probably our absolute favorite part of each dish. The gnocchi has a great homemade flavor and has a very flavorful sauce! Branzino is also very yummy! The espresso martini, green goddess, and luccacello martini are excellent as well. The crudo was also incredible and very fresh. 10/10 recommend for a nice dinner with fun live music!“

“We were looking for new places to try this week and I came across Ella’s. Not too far from home and the menu looked great. Stopped in early on Saturday evening and grabbed a spot at the bar. Great bar for sure!! The whole place looks great. A little swanky and dim lights so it makes for a great date night. They had a super inviting patio out front but it was a little hot out so we stayed inside. We will be back to dine outside for sure!
We love to share plates so we got two appetizers and a salad. The Arancini alla Vodka was absolutely delicious, should have ordered two. The bacon wrapped dates were amazing. The house salad, perfect. Great drink selection as well. The menu has a great variety, not just Italian.
The staff was great, super friendly and attentive.
I love when smaller local places just do it right and Ella’s does it right!
Can’t wait to come back and dine alfresco.“

“Excellent food, great service, knowledgeable waitress“

“We were there for dinner on 5/3. We informed the waiter that we have a garlic allergy. They prepared all of our food separately with no garlic, even making special salad dressing. First time we have been out to eat without pain afterward from garlic! Thank you for your excellent service and accommodation.“

“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.“

“Stayed at the doubletree hotel and was very pleasantly surprised how great the food was at Osteria Italian restaurant. We dined here two nights in a row because it was so delicious. Julio our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Made our first evening at the restaurant memorable. I ordered the eggplant parmigiana and Caesar salad. It was wonderful. I had plenty of leftovers and can’t wait to enjoy the other half when I get home. My husband ordered rigatoni with chicken and the soup of the day. He had plenty left over for another meal also. Had two Tiramisu martinis and unfortunately ran out of room for dessert. The second night we sat in the bar for happy hour. Joey, the manager remembered us and made us feel like we were friends dining at his home. Handsome gentleman and incredibly friendly. Tony the bartender managed a full bar of people yet was very available to take our order. Happy hour is a great deal with $7 martinis and affordable large appetizers. Luckily we saved room to share a piece of Tiramisu. Absolutely divine. Can’t wait for our next visit to Chicago to dine here again. Highly recommended.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Just an Overall Great Place! Friendly Staff! Exceptional Service! Orders 98% on spot! Delicious Food. Great Salads with crisp vegetables. Large assortment of menu items available from Beef Sandwiches to Fried Items and Soups & Salads! Several different soup options everyday. Very Consistent! Absolutely Deeeeelicious Shakes! Prices are decent and comparable to other fast food / restaurants. Nice dining room. Plenty of seating. Always clean, dining room to waiting area. Restrooms are clean as well. Parking available in 2 lots or on street. Drive thru available.“

“The pizza and toppings are amazing!!“

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

“Really good food choices and great staff super nice and very helpful and friendly will recommend 100 times over A++++++++. Around“

“We found this place completely by accident, and we’re so happy we did! 😍 We were actually planning to eat at the Mexican restaurant next door, but this spot caught our attention and we decided to try it and what a great choice it was! 🍝 Monday pasta night was an amazing surprise: order one pasta dish and get another one free! 🙌 We both ordered the tortellini, and every bite was delicious. His came with creamy Alfredo sauce and meatballs, while mine was served with vodka sauce and sausage both dishes were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. 🤤 The food, atmosphere, and service were all wonderful. Huge thanks to Barb for being so friendly and making our visit even more special! ❤ We’ll definitely be coming back again. 10/10 experience! ⭐“

“A Chicago area Italian beef icon!“

“Pizza was good! Great place to dine in at Downtown Downers Grove! I will be coming back!“

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

“Family has been coming here for years!! Love everyone ❤️“

“After passing this building several times, I finally gave Altamura Pizza a chance. What a gem! From the employee who took my order (who was highly informative and friendly) to my pickup, I was very impressed! The owner told me about their charcuterie boards and was very passionate. She went out of her way to get my son, who was anxious to leave, gelato—very thoughtful and tasty too! My salad was delicious, and the pizza was amazing. The pizza was a breeze to cook, and everything tasted so fresh! I will be making this a staple place for takeout. I can’t wait to try the charcuterie board when we have people over! Thank you💓🍕“

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

“A wonderful evening. The table we were originally guided to was not acceptable. It was a corner just outside the kitchen with servers coming in and out every few minutes. We spoke to the host and he made it right immediately giving us several options. Then once seated we enjoyed a very tasty dinner with the best service. This restaurant has been around for a long time and it is quite obvious why. Loved it!“

“Authentic Italian restaurant and grocery store. We had the pizza and gelato!!! We had a good experience here! Be sure to bring cash because they're cash only!! I want to come back here and try their chicken parmesan, it looks really good!“
