50 Best Italian Restaurants near Carpentersville

“Rosati’s Pizza never disappoints. The slices are always fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The crust has the perfect crisp, and the sauce has just the right amount of tang. The people here are genuinely friendly and make you feel welcome every time you walk in. Service is quick. Definitely one of my go-to spots when I’m craving a good slice. Highly recommend!“

“Love Lou's. Ordered the pizzas, and went to pick them up. One took a little longer, and the employee gave us a 4 pack of cookies, for having to wait. Pizza was AWESOME! Love The Lou, deep dish with sausage. They also have a gluten free for those needing it!“

“My husband and I owned a mobile Hot Dog Stand I ran it in Northwest Indiana. I sold Bari Beef Sandwiches. I was famous for my Beef sandwiches . I have and will always swear by Bari Beef!!!! We have moved all over the country the last 9 years and just moved to Bartlett Illinois. I just found out I live only 9.8 miles from Bari factory store …… I think I have died and gone to Heaven!!! On a side note. I had a deal for all new customers who questioned whether I had the best beef sandwiches. I told them “You buy my Beef sandwich and if you do t think it’s the best you have ever had I will give you your money back!” I have NEVER had to give anyone their money back!!! You are the best!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Last night's dinner was truly wonderful. The amazing food and exceptional staff made our anniversary celebration unforgettable. Special thanks to Armando, Pete, and Brennan for their outstanding service. We will definitely be back.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“The food is delicious every time.“

“You’ll find out how well a restaurant is doing when things go right…but you’ll learn more when there is a problem. We had an issue at this location last night and I informed the manager simply so she was aware. By the way our server was excellent, so this was not a service or even a food issue. Hey things happen in a public setting and management doesn’t always have full control of that. But when I met Marisela she really wanted to make things right for our table and went above and beyond to fix our situation. We appreciated that SO much. Thank you Olive Garden management and particularly to the manager of this location. You really helped regular customers stay loyal.“

“We typically use the drive thru. We like your food, always fresh and tasty. Tonight I had the chicken avocado and strawberry salad. The salad was fresh, walnuts were sweet and crispy, dressing was very creamy. The only criticism I have is my chicken avocado and strawberry salad had no avocados. I do understand sometimes you can run out of ingredients or supply chain issues can interfere with menus. I would just ask to have this made known to us upon ordering or upon discovery, all in the interest of good customer service that you usually do deliver.“

“Great pizza right here, used to love Little Caesar’s now I changed to Pizza Now because the pizza is way better“

“We love going for the entertainment, including Adam behind the bar lol“

“i recently had a disappointing experience at a restaurant that I felt compelled to share. I went there for dinner with my fiancée, mother, and our two young kids, ages 3 and 1. Initially, the dinner was fantastic; we were enjoying our time together and the food was great. However, after about an hour and 20 minutes, we were abruptly told we had to leave because of other reservations. This was incredibly frustrating, especially since I still had my drink left, and we had just paid our tab As we were leaving, we encountered a manager and inquired about the situation. To our shock, she responded by asking if we knew how to read English, which felt incredibly rude and unprofessional. I pulled up my reservation online and nowhere does it say there was a time limit. To make matters worse, as we walked through the bar to exit, she followed my mother and physically shoved her three times. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable in any establishment, and it left a sour taste in what could have been a lovely evening. We called the cops to make a report as the manager "lucy" (she told me this was her name) should never be able to touch a customer. Especially since we were not refusing to leave AND my kids were there to witness it all. In the car my son kept asking why the lady pushed my mom . This shouldn't be something I need to answer as it never should have happened. She tried telling the cops she did not have the "intent" to hurt but to get us out . Yet we were not even refusing to leave...only letting her know it was rude as we still had stuff that was unfinished that we paid for. I understand that restaurants have to manage reservations, but there are respectful ways to handle these situations. Additionally, she left it up to the waiter to tell us we had to leave . I won't be returning, and I hope this feedback helps others make an informed decision. And please , if you were in the bar / restaurant when this all happened , speak up on how wrong it was of her to push someone like that.“

“I’ve always had a great experience with this Rosati’s location. Deliveries are always prompt and the driver is always very nice. When I go in to pick up an order everyone inside is very friendly as well.“

“Food was good and because they forgot my shake homie hooked it up with a large, the review if you you my booii“

“Delicious pizza, loved the thin crust! Meatballs are so delish!! I will go back again and again! Highly recommended.“

“Ate there last night. The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. I’m pretty picky about vodka pasta and this one was the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant has such a fun modern 1920s vibe. They also have a kids menu so it’s great for date night or a family outing.“

“Our family’s favorite pizza in Barrington. Always great food!“

“very friendly and I'm sure it's gonna be delicious smells great ! great restaurant“

“delicious sandwiches and I wouldn't consider anybody else for my catering needs.“

“Went there on a Thursday night and it was surprisingly busy. We had a party of 8 people, we called ahead of time, but they said that we didn’t need to make a reservation. I like that the online option to make a reservation. There was not wait upon arrival, just time to set up table. Food was excellent, I didn’t really know what to expect since it was our first time dining there but I loved the bread and oil with Parmesan sauce. We ordered calamari and my kids loved it. I ended up getting an egg pant parmesan and it was super good! I will say that the portion sizes are huge! The only reason why I didn’t give a full 5 star rating was because our server was very nice, but he kept on forgetting about us. The rest of the staff was treat really friendly, we will definitely go back.“

“Held an event for nearly 300 there and couldn't be happier. Staff was great to work with and food was great. Every comment received from those attending the event was positive! Looking to hosting our event there again in 2025“

“During the 7 Friday’s of Lent we went to 5 different fish fry’s, and without a doubt Moretti’s was the best. Not only was the price the best, the amount of fish was the most without AYCE. Great French Fries, homemade coleslaw and plenty of tartar sauce. Another plus was Happy Hour Coors Light drafts for $3. I’d like to thank our server ( Will M. )for doing a great job.“

“This was my first time ordering here. I ordered a 3 topping pizza. It was really good!! No need to add extra sauce at all!! They put a good amount on!! I'll try some of there other items too. I'll definitely order from them again!!“

“Delicious food and great service“

“So many choices and the food is always great.“

“We went to Woodfire for the first time a few weeks back on a Thursday night to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Full house!! We had the best appetizers, main dishes (pasta & pizza), drinks and the donuts as a treat from our amazingly friendly server was a fabulous ending to a great night! Great atmosphere, food, drinks & service!! Looking forward to going back again soon!“

“We found you guys years ago: your our favorite spot: Just tried your cauliflower pizza Omg it was fantastic!!!!!“

“Always a great meal! The pizzas are amazing and so are the salads. A must for everyone.“

“Miss this place it’s been years. And it didn’t disappoint. We got the western.“

“You can bring dog. Fast and good service.“

“Placed an order over the phone for a delivery order and I must say, the service was great. I believe Mark took my order (according to the receipt). Super helpful and quick. Budgeted 1 hour for delivery, showed up in 50 minutes which is always a plus. Delivery driver was courteous and overall I’m glad we ordered from here!

Pizza was very good, and they have a gluten free 10” as well!

Wings were not as good as expected, but I can’t lower their rating for that.

Overall, would order again!“

“They have the BEST pizza and always deliver it HOT!!“

“have to go with only 4 stars this time. Kind of have a feeling that the server bluffed a bit on the number of canolis in the desert. When asked how many it came with she said only 1. Then when it came it had 2 each. Because she said it only had 1, we both ordered the canoli desert. If she would have stated that it did come with 2, we would have ordered 1 and then had a different dessert. Just a little disappointed.“

“Malnati's Lake in the Hills is a great spot for kicking off the New Year (as we did tonight), celebrating a birthday or just enjoying a delicious pizza, salad and a beer with your friends and family. It's a warm, comfortable place with the friendliest servers in Chicagoland. It's on our top 10 list for local eateries. Love Lou Malnati's!“

“NPT is the best pizza in the suburbs of Chicago! It is Neopolitan style pizza and they have pasta dishes as well. Their appetizers are excellent, their Tiramisu is top notch, and they have a good selection of wines and Italian sodas. Get over to NPT for authentic Neopolitan pizzas!“

“Very good experience here. I've only gone for the slice and a soda deal and that price is very fair, don't think you can find anything similar around. Staff is also awesome, they didn't have slices when I came in, asked which one I wanted, told me to come back in 20, and it was ready! Can't beat that service.“

“Best Pizza Ever! Friendly, helpful service as well.“

“Everything was amazing. To start the pizza is ??????. I get their half cheese and half pepperoni and it is the best pizza I have ever had, and that is saying a lot because I don’t really like pizza. Their service is generally fast but you can’t eat in the pizza place, it is takeout or delivery.“

“Celebrated with family and couldn't believe the SPECTACULAR birthday treat! While most restaurants are cutting back, this Rosati's in Hoffman Estates TREATED us with a huge dessert! Enough for all to enjoy! And their daily specials are the best. Our server Kaitlyn was so thoughtful and made us feel so welcome. Don't miss out on this hidden gem of a restaurant!“

“Ordered two large pizzas from here for the first time yesterday. The man on the phone was polite and our food was delivered within the time frame he gave. The pizza was delivered hot and they definitely did not skimp on the toppings. Everyone really enjoyed the food so we will order again in the future.“
