50 Best Italian Restaurants near East Dundee

“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.“

“Wonderful service and food! Eric, the manager, is excellent checking in with diners and ensuring they have everything they need.“

“The food is delicious every time.“

“Nice💯 people alwhays happy“

“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!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“The food is excellent and the service is even better! It would be a great option for birthday parties!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“hot oven grinders with extra hot peppers tomatoes &pickles one to eat there one to take home“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“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.“

“amazing food! garlic wings, hot wings, bbq wings all 100% perfect. the pizza is one of the best in Cary. the owners and team are great with communicating and serving the towns people!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Food is great. Cheesy beef � Boneless chicken wings pizza has a great taste“

“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.“

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

“oven o mo b t n as v mel yo“

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

“We went to Woodfire for my birthday. The food and service is excellent. Vicki was our server and she was very friendly and attentive. The food is so fresh and homemade. The pizza crust is crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. There is an assortment of types of pizza, but the cheese pizza is the best I’ve ever had. The pasta is rich and delicious. It’s cooked perfectly and the vodka sauce is amazing. The appetizers, home brewed beer, and desserts are phenomenal too. Step aside Coopers Hawk, I have a new favorite restaurant!“

“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“

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

“Amazing catering!! Had for grad party. Was so great. Lots of compliments“

“Anna is a fabulous server, helpful and attentive.“

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

“the foid was good the bartenders friendly, on the spot and gave service with a smile! band was great! dance floor tight tho.“

“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!“

“Zzas Italian beef is my absolute fave!! Fresh cut fries are amazing. We just tried meat lovers Square pizza...DELISH!“

“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!“

“This is our go-to place for gluten-free pizza. As opposed to another popular nearby pizza place, the crust is actually fully baked. The GF crust is decent. Not as good as real crust, but better than others in the area. As with any GF pizza, I’d recommend eating it all the first night, as it’s never as good reheated.“

“It was a great visit for happy hour and our waitress Lani was the best ! She also made our drink in the bar and it was one of the best old fashioned I’ve ever had. We got 2 personal pizzas and meatballs for our appetizer. Great place to wind down after a busy day .“

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

“Disappointing. Have given this place a few tries, but last night was the last. Ordered a sausage pizza and there literally was 1 piece of sausage per slice on majority of the slices of pizza. Some slices actually had no sausage. Plus it was dry. Lifted up the cheese and there was barely any sauce. And, end pieces had no cheese. Took a pick when it was mostly gone....we were hungry so ate in anyways. We were very disappointed. A bad night maybe ? They weren't busy at all, no one inside. Really wanted to love this place, but....“

“I’ve been to plenty of pizza places, but Papa Saverio’s really stands out. The pizza is always hot, fresh, and loaded with toppings. The crust has the perfect balance of crisp and chew, and the sauce actually tastes homemade—not bland like a lot of other chains. Beyond the pizza, their pasta, sandwiches, and wings are just as good. The portions are generous and you always get your money’s worth.

The staff here is friendly, fast, and they actually care about getting the order right. Whether I call in, order online, or stop by for pickup, everything runs smoothly. It’s rare to find a place that feels this consistent.

If you’re looking for a place that serves quality food with great service, Papa Saverio’s is the spot. Easily my go-to in town!“

“Great pizza, wish they had zeppole on the dessert menu, it’s the only Rosati’s location I can’t find them at which results me in ordering from the next restaurant. I attached what zeppole look from the other locations, they don’t even have the appetizer version with the marinara. Crazy because they’re big sellers at other locations and they run out.“

“I wish they had dine in but this is my go to for pizza since we found it. I love the ground beef topping on my pizza and this place does it very well. Great ratio of sauce to cheese. Not too much cheese. The crust is very good. We love it here.“

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

“DELISH!!!! The Chicago Classic is a MUST HAVE! And the service is great :-)“

“loved this place. the service and the pizza were the past in the state“

“My friends surprised me for my birthday. Would definitely do it again.❤“

“Most popular dip dish pizza place and very well-known in Chicago. It's like a must visit pizza place when you are in Chicago.
Their World Famous Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza is a must to taste.
Enjoy when you are coming or visiting Chicago. They have many branches across. Some are
take - out only, while some are sitting in restaurant, some has both.
Enjoy deep dish pizza 🍕“

“Lou Malnati's is one of my favorite places to get good Chicago deep dish pizza. I have it rather often and every time the pizza comes out great! I have not tried out their thin crust pizza or any other dish that they have, but I am sure it is good as well.“

“I ordered from this location for my staff today.! The gentleman who answered the phone was excellent in guiding me on what I should order! I ordered a variety of pizzas. AMAZING! Pizzas were perfectly cooked! I order a couple different salads. All the ingredients on the pizza and salad were fresh.! They will definitely have my business“

“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!“
