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!“

“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.“

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

“The food is excellent and I cannot say enough kind words about how amazing the staff is. Every time we bring our toddler here, they treat her so special, making her smile, and so attentive to her. She absolutely adores the servers we’ve had. It makes you feel like part of the family.“

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

“From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. The ambiance at Francesca’s Tavola is unmatched—classic, classy, and comfortable. The Pollo Arrosto Romana was divine—crisp skin, tender meat, and the rosemary lemon flavor was out of this world. Highly recommend!“

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

“First time experience, went for Happy hour. Bar area is a little loud. Daily specials are only for take out not even for a dine in price! Happy hour special pricing and food was very good. The monthly special appetizer of escargot was great! Bread served with it would have been better soft, for enjoying the total dish, rather than hard toasted. Peppers, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, and sausage was better than I expected. Involtini was really good. Wife said the garlic dressing was good. We plan on making it on our frequent list.“

“First time going since new ownership and could not have been more satisfied. Service was exceptional and food was very good. I will be going back frequently.“

“I used to eat here all the time, unfortunately, I moved away and it’s been almost 10 years since I’ve eaten Serino’s. The food is amazing! It’s just like going to grandma‘s house and getting some fresh made Italian food!!!“

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

“I worked for Francesca’s, the Italian restaurant, for over 12 years and loved the food there. When I ate I Sonny’s, I told the owner that the chopped salad and pasta that I had at Sonny’s was better than Francesca’s 100%. The dressing on the salad was unmatched, and the bolognese sauce had such depth to it, it was insane. Thanks Sonny’s!!“

“Had lunch there today with special friends. All our meals were excellent. Had cocktails & Merlot, soups, salad, eggplant parm, Pollo Al Marsala, create your own pasta. Will make this place a favorite place for delicious food as well as customer service above & beyond expectations.

“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“

“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.“

“When we arrived in Chicago, we decided to try the Lincoln location of Lou Malnati’s. Unfortunately, despite arriving 40 minutes before closing, we were told they would not seat us. I completely understand that deep-dish pizzas take longer to prepare and that ordering one so close to closing might not be possible. However, I was disappointed that we couldn’t be seated at all, especially since we were told we could still place an order for carryout.

Thankfully, we decided to give Lou Malnati’s another chance at the Schaumburg location, and I’m so glad we did! What a difference! The manager was incredibly friendly and welcoming, our waitress was attentive and genuinely kind, and the food was absolutely delicious!

The Schaumburg team completely turned our experience around. Their wonderful hospitality and excellent service reminded us why customer service matters so much. I’m glad we gave Lou Malnati’s a second chance, because this location absolutely delivered!“

“Everything is perfection here. I've never had an issue with their food or service. In fact, I've always been delighted by how nice the employees are. Really, folks, how hard is that? Thank you for actually caring about your customers. The food options are great & they actually taste good! Again, why is that so difficult for other businesses? Love them!“
