“My sister Shelly Nagy purchased tickets to a Sunday afternoon drag brunch to celebrate my birthday! Marco not only held the door open for his guests, but he was also very kind and generous! He offered 2nd helpings (my only regret is that I did not indulge on that offer). Our meal was plentiful, delicious and presented beautifully! The bartenders cocktails (garnished w/ fresh flowers!) are pure elegance and his customer service skills are excellent! The drag show was a blast! The music was a hit (inside and out) and the upscale atmosphere will always have me anxiously waiting to come back soon! Thank you Marcos & Shelly for the most wonderful birthday celebration anyone will ever dream of! Gorgeous Downtown LaGrange is lucky to have Marco’s Kitchen! Take me back already!“

“I’ve had multiple dishes from Lucca’s and every single one is excellent. The meatballs are stand out though and I’m not much of a meatball fan. Pizzas always have a nice crispy crust and the pastas always Al dente.“

The service was horrible with our waitress she forgot a plate forgot brought the bread after the pasta, arrived forgot the cup of lemonade for my kid, the food took longer than expected to arrive luckily we ordered appetizers I normally don't ever complain but she was bad very upset but we still tipped her and the supervisor or manager gave us a plate to go, bread and a free sangria their sangria is amazing too! Parking was ok bathroom was clean the bus boys served us better thn our actual waitress to the point that the table next to us even noticed how they took a while for our food we were there way before everyone else and were served last but anyway we found a good waiter that when we return we will ask for Pepe he is amazing and helped too so shout out to Pepe and the busboys there they were amazing
Definitely check this place out!!! Everything was 5 stars but our waitress ohhh their bruschettas were delicious too!!“

“5 stars for HECTOR in Western Springs!!! Hands down this was the absolute best dining experience I’ve ever had! While the food was delicious and the overall ambiance and decor of the restaurant was cozy, it was our server that made this dining experience over the top, great! HECTOR, you are a gem, a diamond! You have an absolutely charming personality and made my mother in law’s birthday dinner an experience to remember! From your spot on suggestions, to your lovely rendition of “Happy Birthday”, to the funny banter, our whole family left talking about how wonderful you were! We will be back and we will be sure to come when you are serving! Thank you Hector!!!“

Last few times the food was not as on par with the first 3-4 times.

The first few times i went was when they first opened.
Seems service went down a bit!“

“This past weekend a group ( 14 ) of us experienced a wonderful evening at Pazzi Di Pizza in Elmhurst. It was a fun get-together that was enhanced by great appetizers and varied, delicious pizzas. We also were served by some of the best and most courteous staff we have ever experienced. Marco, the Manager, who attentively scheduled our evening, came over, introduced himself, inquired about our needs, and then introduced us to Charlie, our evening's server. Charlie was exceptional!! It was our second time meeting at this venue, and I highly recommend a visit!“

“awesome place thank you Jackie and Gio“

“One of the few remaining ethnic food festivals around. The old-time carnival rides were full of fun for the grandkids. The food was provided by many mom & pop shops who have been cooking Italian for years. No admission charge and each vendor charging $2 - 3 per item. Adjacent Taste of Mexico section provides even more variety. The Folklorico dancers put on a most professional show as did the other entertainment stages. Will definitely bring the family back next year.“

“Incredible food. Very high quality“

“Amazing staff and the food was literally so fresh and DELICIOUS!!!! Worth the trip & portions are HUGE! I had the Diablo shrimp pasta, so flavorful and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Will be back again! :)“

I highly recommend this restaurant for everyone!“

Service was Great, Alex was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Food was outstanding, portions justified the price! Management was very helpful with a certificate that was no longer accepted but they honored it anyway as a courtesy. Great business sense, making the customer happy! We can't wait to come back!“
