50 Best Italian Restaurants near Hanover Park

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

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

“BEST Italian food in Illinois, this place is absolutely amazing. We got the poblano soup and the rigatoni alla traverstin and it was the best pasta and soup I have ever had. I requested it to be spicy, and they made it exactly how I wanted it, it was wonderful! My husband ordered his without the spice and it was just as amazing. Also, it is very refreshing to have a restaurant where all of the waiter and waitresses have conversations with the guests, it was so great to see. We had Susanna and her sister and they were so sweet to us. They all are so hospitable and genuinely great people. We have tried many many Italian restaurants in the area, and this is by far the best one and a must try.“

“Everything we’ve had at Sonny’s has been exceptional. Everyone is so friendly! Watch for Specials… Highly recommended, you won’t be disappointed!“

“We tried the meatball & sausage sandwich. It was huge & delicious! The meatballs tasted just like mine! Staff/ owner really nice!“

“Had the best server tonight! Great service and personality. Thanks so much Paige!“

“In Chicago/Addison for work and could only walk few blocks for meal. Serino’s walk in was closed but drive thru was open and was asked to come to drive thru window. I didn’t get the man’s name that took my order and I asked him to make me a hot sandwich….he suggested the Italian beef ….he did ask if I wanted to sit inside while they made sandwich but I just waited outside but appreciated his invite. The sandwich was delicious and the aujus he added to dip sandwich in was excellent. Serinos was my first meal in Chicago area….I highly recommend and look forward to enjoying another meal there soon.“

“The staff is so kind and accommodating! Plenty of bread for the hungry kids brought out immediately! The veal parm was so good - love the marinara sauce and large portion! We enjoyed the crispy calamari, risotto and chicken piccata! Service is great!“

“Phenomenal food. The entire setting (dimmed lights, old school Italian color scheme) was tremendous. The food was exceptional. Looking forward to coming back.“

“Dined with Pietanza's several times and each time we're more impressed. Quickly becoming my favorite restaurant.“

“Service is excellent and warm. Food is outstanding and delicious. Highly recommend to anyone who has a taste for authentic home made Italian cuisine! We’ll be back!“

“I just had a "Picante" sub sandwich. Wow, what a delicious meal! Bring your appetite, because your taste buds arent going to want to stop.“

“Food and service fantastic. They were running behind with reservations but they comped us drinks an an appetizer...which is pretty unheard of these days. Rachel, our server, was phenomenal, I liked her so much I even asked her to help me "customize" my pasta dish, which she happily did (and it turned out great! The lobster diavolo but with vodka sauce...keeping the spice level.) Caesar salad good but not traditional...and missing anchovies (I know, I'm weird. Very fresh ingredients though.) We were a party of 6 and everyone loved their food. Reasonable prices too. Will definitely be back! Only wish it weren't so cramped inside.“

“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!“

“Great food and service!!“

“Everything we ordered, beef/sausage combo , baptized with giardinera + regular baptized beef with sweet peppers and an order of fries. The best!
Young man at the counter was very upbeat, genuine, and professional. He came to our table to help me download the new app and apply the points from my purchase. What a sweetheart.
The place was very well kept; clean, no napkins on the floor. Clean tables. Not like Port!//@$.“

“Always excellent food. I love the hot oven grinder sandwich and the pizza.“

“Excellent food and service. Will definitely be back. Great happy hour options as well.“

“Villaggio Ristorante Dear Beto, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible experience my family and I had at Villaggio Ristorante for my daughter's wedding shower on May 18, 2025. From start to finish, every detail was handled with such care and professionalism. Your dedication to excellence shines through in every aspect of your restaurant. The service was impeccable—your staff was attentive, kind, and ensured that every guest felt welcomed and comfortable. And the food—absolutely exquisite! Every dish was prepared to perfection and left a lasting impression on everyone who attended. You truly go above and beyond for your guests, and it does not go unnoticed. This special day was made even more memorable because of the warmth and hospitality you and your team provided. Thank you again for everything. I will happily recommend Villaggio Ristorante to all my family and friends, knowing they will receive nothing but the best. Warm regards, Julie Loverdi“

“My mom and sister-in-law hosted my bridal shower here in September. The staff at Rosemary & Jeans were very friendly! They did an amazing job waiting on us and making sure we had enough food and drinks. They also allowed my mom and sister-in-law to come in early and decorate the space. Everyone raved about the food and drinks (especially the chicken & sausage cacciatore and the prosecco bar!) I would highly recommend using Rosemary & Jeans to host your next party!“

“We decided to try out Tre Amici for our daughter’s birthday party catering. We could not be more pleased with their catering package and the price was so reasonable to feed a large group. The sausage and beef combo, pasta, salad, and pizza package we put together was excellent. All the food was well prepared and our guests were complimenting everything the whole party. We would definitely use them again for our future catering needs.“

“What a surprise. This is no typical pizzeria!The chef knows his way around a kitchen. My Branzino was fantastic. Misto griglio appetizer was the best I've had. Other diners enjoyed veal, chicken and pasta. It's a beautiful modern restaurant with great food and attentive service. Go!“

“First time here. Mary was my server and she was very helpful, special was very good. Would come back again“

“Had a wonderful, leisurely dinner for four. Food and service were impeccable.“

“This restaurant is my favorite go to when i visit Chicago. I live in Yorktown Virginia but i was born and raised in the west side of Chicago. For the past 5 years i have been going to Rocco Vinos because the food is great , the service was wonderful, and the price was good. As A result , I have been able to transport many pizzas back to Virginia. I will be clear , Virginia is not known for their pizza. Tino Mola , the manager , has helped me by preparing pizzas for me to be able to transport by car back to Virginia. My friends are overwhelmed by these great pizzas I bring back. They always want to know when I'm coming back and ask me to get them more. We have an Uno's pizza here but that's not a good representation of Chicago food. I will drive to Chicago before going to Uno's. And when I do , I'm going to see my friends at Rocco Vino's.“

“I have been shopping at Jewel for many years. Also I’ve had my prescriptions in the pharmacy I moved my prescriptions to the Fox Lake pharmacy years ago because it’s the closest to me before that I was at the Grayslake one, so I’ve been with them for many years. I’ve had enough. The pharmacist behind the counter has done nothing but give me a hard time about getting my prescriptions, I don’t overtake. I am there just at the time that I should be and there should be no reason he held my prescriptions back. I’ve had enough for one month. I went completely without my prescription because he refused to hand it over same thing happened when I wanted to leave town and get my prescription one day early as the doctor released it the insurance released it, but he would not , I’ve had enough it’s time to go on social media and let them know what’s going on and I put it off. I didn’t say anything for over a year. I’m tired now I’ve had enough!!!!“

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

“. Good Food The Italian sub was delicios Good Food The Italian sub was delic They are too expen though“

“Fantastic food, awesome people and highly recommend if you enjoy delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere.“

“Pizza was received promptly, hot and as ordered“

“Authentic cucina italiana. Quality has dropped a little in the past few years. Eating here since 2015. Good portions and fair pricing. Inside of the restaurant looks good.“

“4 🌟 due to breadsticks. Otherwise, it would be 3. Service was okay. No italian music where we were sitting. All we were hearing were dishes, loud teens, and the kitchen. I ask the waiter what happened to the music in this section. He said he hadn't noticed but was going to check. Nothing came of it. I turned on italian music on my phone. The couple next to me said good choice. Will not return to this location.“

“Our time here was a night to remember for sure. The owner of this place made our unexpected Thursday night out the most special evening we have had in a while. It was so amazing, romantic and just the food just added to that. It was so amazing that I was so overwhelmed with emotion it made me sobb like a baby. The owner ended up ordering for us and he definitely read us perfectly because he chose the most perfect, delicious entrees. When presenting us our meals he took the basil plant that was growing right behind me and topped our dishes with it, how beautiful?! He also picked me a flower off one of their trees!! To top the night off he surprised us with a complementary tiramisu for dessert. This restaurant fully took us out of Illinois and made us feel like we were in our own little world. Beautiful establishment full of so much care. This was truly a rare experience nowadays.“

“As usual, great pizza! Some people, many that I know, say it's better than Giordanos. The crust is thicker and crunchier and the amount of sausage and pepperoni is simply more than Giordanos, but they are both great pizzas! This Schaumburg location is very ample and clean, although a bit outdated in it's decor.“

“The food was outstanding, unlimited soup awesome. I had the Seafood Alfredo, awesome!!!
The service was great food was warm and ready to eat. Since we had a party of 10, we were seated right at the time of our reservation, and it was a pleasant atmosphere“

“Solid italian food. I've only tried their pastas and they were very good. Good quality chicken and servings are plentiful. The only suggestion I would make to the restaurant is to better set up their online ordering systems and encourage customers to use them versus calling in orders. Also, allow take out ordering on holidays such as new years eve when you're open.“

“They have the best food around hands down. Beef-Sausage- Chicken Parmesan- Chicken Vesuvio are all out of this world!! They catered for our family gathering for the holidays amazing quality, big huge portions and price was awesome.“
