Dining here is always more than a meal—it’s a memorable experience filled with flavor, comfort, and joy. We can’t wait to return again and again, and we recommend Tina G’s to anyone who loves great food and genuine warmth!“

“When we went to this place, they were about to close but still took us in. The service was amazing, everyone was friendly and the food was soooooo good. We ordered the bulgogi and Japchae etc. And the Japchae was chef’s kiss. The bulgogi was served raw so you can put it on a stove and when it came out…IT WAS SO GOOD. I have no complain and I DEFINITELY will be coming back!“

“Very Good Dinner tonight. We had Brisket dinner over mashed, dark chicken thighs with mashed and garlic shrimp over pasta. All meals were quite good. Ample portions. Only fault today, Food came out too fast... salad was 2 minutes behind our appetizer, and main course was out before we were done with our salads. We will be back.“

“After a couple of years away following an uneven prior experience, a recent return to Bottaio with friends proved both reassuring and mildly frustrating. The dining room remains one of the restaurant’s strongest assets: warm, attractive, and inviting in a way that signals classic Italian comfort. Unfortunately, that promise is undercut by one persistent flaw—seating that is simply uncomfortable. After fifteen minutes, the chairs distract from the experience, an avoidable misstep in a restaurant that otherwise understands ambiance. Service, by contrast, was a highlight. Our server struck an engaging balance between edgy and personable, and—most importantly—demonstrated genuine knowledge of the menu and wine list. Wine selections, guided by their recommendations, were uniformly well received by the table, showing thoughtful pairing and sound judgment. The meal began on a high note with excellent crusty bread, a simple but well-executed opening gesture that set expectations optimistically. The entrées, however, struggled to rise beyond adequacy. While none were poor, they failed to deliver the refinement or depth one hopes for. The veal parmigiana arrived in an impressively large portion but was overly breaded, sacrificing balance and nuance. In contrast, the risotto stood out as the best dish of the evening—properly executed, flavorful, and satisfying. Other diners echoed a similar sentiment: the food was good, but never quite great. This mirrors past experiences and suggests a recurring issue rather than an off night. Bottaio remains a solid option for casual Italian dining, particularly for those who value ambiance, wine, and congenial service. With greater attention to detail in the kitchen—and a renewed focus on authenticity and precision—the restaurant has the potential to elevate its culinary standing meaningfully. One hopes that future visits will see that promise more fully realized.“

“Food is great. My daughter enjoys Thai food at Lamoon Thai.😍“

“Delicious food !! Great service.“

“I went to The Wicked Egg with my daughter and it was a great experience. Everyone who works there is so friendly, the food was prepared quickly and tasted good. I definitely recommend The Wicked Egg!“

“😀Great food, however, the “build your own burger“was a disappointment. The onions tasted bitter and very salty. I got the worst case of heartburn from this burger! OMG. Otherwise, everything else is top quality! Be careful when ordering this “build your own burger.”🍔 I’ve never tasted onions so bad, and seem to be imbedded into the meat that tasted so bitter and awful salty. Too bad because in my opinion, all other dishes are superb! Susan Lee Dzialo“

“Love this place! I’m from Wisconsin but life close to the Illinois boarder. I came across this gem while driving by. We stopped and order food- and then went back up to the window to order a few more times. The staff were very sweet and time efficient. Their creamsicle soft serve cone is to die for! We’ll be back!“

“I have stopped in twice in the last week and I’ve been blown away both times! The food is phenomenal. It’s also priced reasonably. The staff and the owner are so friendly and welcoming. It’s a great environment and a fabulous meal.“

“I’m so glad I found this place! great fresh food and good service. A great addition to the neighborhood.“

“great coffee! its very cozy“

“The best fried chicken I have had since my mom's fried chicken. Tastes exactly like fresh home fried chicken, not reheated from frozen, but fried to perfection. 🥰😋 Delicious!“

“Stopped by with my daughter for lunch. The bartender Ashley was prompt in coming to the table and starting us with some drinks. The attentive service continued throughout the meal. Cheese fries were hot, crispy, and well seasoned. Smash Burger was juicy and prepared correctly. Chicago Dog on point, and the Italian Beef’s beef to bread ratio was perfect. Get it with cheese and giardiniera.“

“We’ve visited many times and every time is a good experience. We love to go and let our daughter pick out a cookie as they have many fun characters to choose from. Today they offered free any size drinks for Mom’s on Mother’s Day. How wonderful, what a treat! Thank you 🩷“

“Very fresh and good food.“

“Food is always good as usual“

“Lived in Mundelein for22 years. I have since moved to Texas. I visit many microbreweries along my travels. It’s always a treat to come home and see my hometown brewery thriving. What a wonderful establishment with great craft beer. Keep up the great work. Cheers“

“Always great service, great food and very friendly staff. Owner Pete is such a great guy“

“I wish I got some photos because of how lovely everything was! Best wonton soup in the area hands down, and always pleasant service! We used to come here often enough that the lovely waitress would recognize my boyfriend and ask if he wanted their (fabulous) Thai beer. Wonton soup is garnished with cilantro, green onions, and DELICIOUS fried garlic, had to order some to go! Fresh sushi that is rolled very well with beautiful presentation, delicious drunken noodles, perfect miso soup, and very fresh house salad with crisp red onions (I've never had such a nice house salad like this before, honestly!) Great portions and everything always the perfect temperature!“

“Yummy froyo with yummy toppings 😘“

“Reasonable prices, Good food“

“what a great place food is delicious and atmosphere is good to have to say the chef is the best“

“Everyone is so knowledgeable and helpful. Its my 1 stop for supplements“

“My wife ordered catering from Chicken Miche for my birthday celebration, and everything was excellent. Shout out to Iza for making the entire process smooth from start to finish. She was attentive, communicative, and made sure everything was ready before pickup. Our guests especially loved the grilled chicken. Thank you again for the great food and service!“

“Was there Thursday night we had Braised Short ribs and crispy Brussels sprouts was delicious service was great the bartender colie made me a special drink Wow will definitely be back“

“Wonderful wines with a personal touch! We really enjoyed the tasting - the wines are out of this world, there's something for everyone. Everyone we met while tasting at GFWC was incredibly kind (we love a family business!). We will absolutely be back & will continue to tell others to go as well!“

“This place is great! No matter what you are hungry for this place probably has it especially if you can’t decide where to go. Large menu! The food was good, service was great, and the ambiance was cozy and fun. I would recommend The Silo Restaurant for those that are having a difficult time narrowing down where to go as a family when everyone wants something different. I would definitely come back.“

“La limpieza y el serbisio del personal es excelente todo es perfecto 🤩🥰🥰🥰 tiendas de comida y Walmart están a unos pasos todo muy Serca ☺️☺️my familia estuvo encantada con todo volvería otra vez a este hermoso lugar espero que existan más lugares como este en otras siudades 🥰“

“We went to their location in Libertyville all the time. Heartbroken when it closed. So glad they have this location. Best chimichanga ever. No on come close.“

“This place is definitely a cool place with good atmosphere, good service amd good food.. only reason for my 4 star is the fact that they add a delivery charge to the bill for bringing your food out.. not sure why thats really necessary when there the only ones who charge it. Overall besides that's little thing I highly recommend oaks“

“This place CJ‘s coffeehouse is the best donut shop I’ve ever gone to.. Dunkin’ Donuts is pathetic in comparison. their donuts are far more superior. There’s more Dunkin’ Donuts close by me, but I go all the way to Zion for my donuts.. kudos to CJ’s!!!!“

“Love the staff. Especially the women who has owned this place for many years. Food and service is super.“

“Great food at Max’s Dawg House! Burger and potato wedges were phenomenal“
