Restaurants in Itasca

“Awesome food and drinks! But you have to sit in Katrina’s section. You won’t be disappointed. She’s knowledgeable, honest, and funny! Your experience will be better if she’s your server!”

“We’ve always enjoyed the Biergarten in the summer, so we were glad to see a more permanent year-round fixture open up. We were also impressed by the food. It’s a small menu, but everything we’ve had is excellent (and we’re locals so we come here a lot).”

“Very small place but delicious food. I'm definitely coming back and recommend that you give it a try. Incredibly authentic Colombian food!”

“We had dinner there last night to celebrate a special occasion. So much on the menu to choose from, and everything was excellent! Calamari is hard to do right, but they did it right. Fried zucchini. pork chops, meat balls, dolmades, spinach pie, and more.... Will definitely be back!”

“I’m from out of town and maybe stop here 3x a year and bartender always knows I want a BA beer and a Buffalo chicken pizza!!!!!”

“The pasta at this restaurant is some of the best I've ever had. The sauces are rich and flavorful, and the noodles are perfectly cooked. The service is also fantastic - the staff are friendly and knowledgeable.”

“My waitress was excellent! I think she said her name was Chanté. I thought the food was really good too. I tried the Buffalo wings and Fritto Misto (calamari).”

“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. Oh, had bread pudding(heaven), Italian ice too(nice presentation)Our waiter Marco informs you of daily specials, makes recommendations, very informative & engaging. Thanks to all servers too!”

“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!!!!”

“Best wine selection anywhere around Itasca, Elk Grove Addison and Bloomingdale area!! The bartenders are great as well as Mark the owner being exceptionably knowledge and hospitable at his wine bar. Must at least go once”

“I made a big order with many different items, Grando’s was quick making our order and the food was AMAZING! This is exactly the good ol’ chicago style food we want when we come to town! Will be back!”

“Does an awesome place overall. Shockingly great prices for the current times we are living in. Food was solid and the service was good. Just an overall quality place.”

“Dined in over the weekend ; live music by the talented Jonny Lyons duo ; Great atmosphere ; our server was Arturo : fabulous service & delicious food ! The manager John was also very nice and checking to see if we needed anything. Can’t wait to return !”

“Awesome Food great service!”

“Wonderful food, fabulous staff!”

“The service here is amazing. The people here, especially Rose, are nice and caring. I like that I can get a cold or hot beverage. The food is great, too. And it's just a great place to sit for awhile. Very welcoming place.”

“We read about Joe Doughnut Itasca and thought we would give it a try…pulled up to a Shell gas station?!? Wow we were pleasantly surprised. Can’t begin to say enough good things about this place…not gas station food, custom fresh made to your liking off their full menu. Doughnuts were great, flapjacks were outstanding. Great variety of coffee products - regular, cold brew, lattes etc. The staff were warm and friendly, making you feel at home and explaining the menu to you. Met the co-owner, wonderful lady with passion for this place. Can’t believe it has been open for over 2 years. Great kept little secret. Will be back to try more of the menu!”

“My absolute favorite burrito place. I used to work near it and now that I live an hour away I will occasionally drive the hour just for one of their burritos! The chicken burritos are fantastic!”

“The cook was on point and the man who took our order was super polite Thank you loved it.”

“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.”
