da Baffone Cucina Italiana

Yesterday we celebrated our wedding and had dinner for 17 people at Da Baffone Cucina Italia. First off the service was top notch. Everyone was so thoughtful, kind, and very accommodating. They all wanted to ensure our dinner was special. The food was amazing. The portion sizes were pretty big. You could share a plate and you would have enough food. Every single dish was so delicious. Our party was very impressed with the food. Thank you Da Buffone staff! You all are amazing! ?

Absolutely fantastic experience our first time dining here. I got the tortellini and it was incredible. Friends we ate with asked if they could try it because they could smell it from their seats. My kids split a pasta and they had more than they could finish. The calamari was some of the best I've ever had. No disappointment with anything we ate. Can't wait to have the leftovers tomorrow!

The staff was fantastic and very friendly. Loved when the server quietly asked if the kids were only having one coke or if i was OK with them having a refill. My kids never even knew I had been asked so if I said no, there wouldn't have been any fight from them.

One of the reasons we hadn't visited before was because one child has a bad dairy allergy. The staff ensured that meal had no dairy and had multiple sauces he could pick from. Thank you to the staff for that!

I will definitely have to come and dine here again!

Dietary restrictions: Accommodated one dairy allergy and listed gluten free options available.

Great food at a very reasonable price. Our server, Daren, was prompt and friendly. One of the best. We had the "Grandma's Sunday Dinner" special that included multiple courses, each were delicious. Highly recommend this place. Make reservations as seating is limited.

We were finally able to eat dinner at this restaurant. Food was good. Fried calamari was one of the best we ever had. My chicken parmesan was a bit overdone but nothing horrible. Our waiter was very friendly and nice during our entire meal. Dessert was delicious. Cannoli flight is the way to go.

The service here is incredible! The food is the best Italian food in the Chicago Northwest suburbs. The pasta is fresh and cooked perfectly. Every sauce, from pomodoro to vodka sauce has been incredible. Try the Hanging Prosciutto charcuterie board! The cocktails are fabulous. We love the Peach Sangria! I am also fond of their Figtini. We keep going back for a reason. This is one of the finest restaurants around.
