“We regularly order from Donati’s at the early education center I work at for lunches and staff meetings and food is always fantastic. But, the customer service is even better… recently we had and a issue with our food vendor and we need it 20 pizzas delivered to the school as soon as possible… Donati’s stopped everything and got us the pizza as soon as possible, the timeliness, the willing to work with us, and wonderful customer service will keep us coming back time and time again! I highly recommend Donati’s rather it’s for lunch or dinner, a family party, staff meeting, etc…. You will not be disappointed!“
“Adore Tina's and Tina herself!! Best big assortment of Italian cookies yummy! I always order egg salad sandwich and green salad with fresh fruit. So delicious every time. My dtr in love and her mom get Chicken Parm and so love it! Charming and quaint! Canolis to die for. Special place for birthdays!!“
“Love the restaurant and the food, however was there on a Saturday night at the peak dinner hour and it.wasn't nice. The wait staff were almost running up and down the aisle making it feel very chaotic . Felt rushed during our meal and the large groups around us were very loud. We couldn't hear each other talk. I'm sad to think such a nice restaurant turned out to be a big disappointment.I realize it was a very busy evening but it was not a good evening“
“Came in again to try out their pizza special. I got the 2 slices and a drink last time, and it was too much for me. Just got a slice of sausage, and my usual soda can. Place is usually nice and clean. Everyone is friendly and acknowledges you when you walk in. It was cooked nicely and great crust. It wasn't too hard or soft, but just the right amount of crunch. The best part is that it's not really greasy like others. Big plus in my book. I definitely would come back if I'm in the area. Perks of working out in the field and trying new places.“
“Our first visit to Disotto. Seamus was our server, and was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. We split an Italian chopped salad, tried some Bruschetta with roasted apples and one with whipped ricotta and peppers-really great- and then moved on to some pasta. The Pappardelle Bognese and Cavatelli con Burrata were delicious. Everything we ate was outstanding. Seamus seemed to anticipate our needs-we felt cared for without ever feeling rushed. We will make Disotto a regular destination.“
“I grew up going to this place almost every day! Spent my allowance on soda and candy there! Now that I’ve grown up and moved away, I still make the hour drive every now and then for their awesome comfort food! The Paterson family is just like our own family❤️ I recommend Louie’s to everyone ❤️“
“A fantastic brunch with their version of biscuits & gravy and an egg white omelet with Parmesan potatoes. Very attentive service that was timely in bringing out our food and keeping our glasses full, and empty plates removed from the table.“
“Our Veal Marsala was great. We both had the same thing. The portions were so large that we had a lot to take home, and we have enough for another dinner. We were celebrating my wife's Birthday and they provided a delicious Italian Lemon cake, ice cream with chocolate sauce. Most of all our server, Maria, was excellent. Her Birthday is today, the day after my wife's birthday. We will be back very soon!“
“I can't understand the negative reviews. I brought my three girls here for lunch and we had an amazing lunch! We last dined here about a year ago. The service was incredibly fast, the fried calamari was delicious, and the pizza was amazing. My picky eater asked for four more meatballs after devouring the first three that came on her spaghetti. I decided to try the soup/sandwich combo. It was so difficult to choose a sandwich because they ALL sounded amazing. I was very pleased with the Italian sandwich with the asparagus soup. I wish I would have brought a quart of the soup home for my husband to enjoy. The ingredients are fresh and everything tastes wonderful. I am already looking forward to our next visit!!“
“This place! Always a great meal and service. I’ve lived in the area and this place is so underrated. You can’t go wrong with the vodka pasta. While I did not have that tonight. The chicken was amazing. Cooked to perfection. The fresh side salad was amazing. Can’t go wrong with parking it right so use the valet.“
“Always a great experience at Mambo. We had a bigger party and our server was great. He was extra kind to my toddler, which was so appreciated.Please add a changing table to the men’s restroom.Sincerely, a family who has babies that need to be changed and want to go with Daddy.“
“Went with my friend and my sister. We started with cocktails and an appetizer of Bruschetta con Mozzarella. They both ordered the Rigatoni ala Vodka and I had the Sea Bass Pomodorini. Excellent Italian food! We were all very pleased and full.“
“Best tavern pizza I've had in 2 years! As a native Rhode Islander, I am very particular about pizza and knowing the Quonset name has a lot of responsibility associated with it ? My wife and I have decided this will be our new pizza spot going forward.“
“Del Rio is the finest restaurant that my family and I have ever had the privilege to frequent. It is part of every milestone in the lives of the Platcow family and in every sense of the word Del Rio is home and their staff are also indeed family. Much love to them and thank you Bill and Connie for providing the set and the stage for our important moments living on the North Shore these last fifty years. Much love from the Platcow family to the great Del Rio!“
“My nephew is friends with the owner and loves their food and wanted me to try it and I have to say I was very impressed. The chicken Parmesan was top-notch and the garlic rolls with the garlic inside delicious and prices that you can’t beat!“
“Deerfield Italian Kitchen offers an exceptional dining experience that begins with a personal touch – the owner answering the phone to take your order. This personalized service sets the tone for what awaits: delicious Italian cuisine crafted with care and attention to detail.The chicken and Italian sausage risotto is undoubtedly a standout dish, boasting rich flavors and perfect texture. It's a testament to the kitchen's commitment to quality and authenticity. Equally impressive is the chicken parm sandwich, a beloved favorite that never disappoints.What truly sets Deerfield Italian Kitchen apart, however, is not just the delectable food, but also the warmth and friendliness of the staff. Whether you're a longtime patron or a first-time visitor, you're treated like family from the moment you walk in the door.Having frequented this establishment for years, I can confidently say that Deerfield Italian Kitchen consistently delivers on its promise of excellent Italian fare at reasonable prices. If you're craving top-notch Italian cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere, look no further than Deerfield Italian Kitchen. Highly recommended.“
“Excellent pizza! The sauce is not sweet but savory with proper seasoning. Their thin crust is so good that if I move away, I would drive hours to come back regularly. The service is friendly and helpful, and they even store my order info, so I can call up and order "the usual". Thank you for your excellence Pizza Italia!“
“Sal and Tony’s has such a cozy atmosphere, and yet the dining areas are large, so you don’t feel crowded. All the wait staff and owners were so friendly, efficient, and professional, and the food was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back!“
“We have always gone to Lou's in Lincolnwood, but had family in town and Buffalo Grove was closest for them. what a difference, place was huge and the parking lot was great. It will be our new location for sure. Service was just ok. It was a Friday night and busy so the staff was not very attentive but the good is great so we can deal with that“
“The very best the North Shore has to offer in Italian food. This small cozy restaurant serves the most authentic Italian dishes and the baked goods are incredible. Gino the owner is an amazing person in every way and a great friendTonight the squash stuffed raviolis in a sage butter sauce with sugar brought me back to Tuscany 5 stars and get a cannoli“
“Nino’s….. I love you guys! I just had the minestrone with tortellini soup, grilled chicken breast sandwich & meatballs delivered…..wonderful comfort food after a stressful work week!! The soup, my favorite, was fresh & hot, & just what I needed! AND the delivery driver in the red Ford pickup truck was awesome & read my crazy apartment delivery instructions & did it right! Whoever you are, you get ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!! Btw, their thin crust pizza is awesome & their cheese is the best!“
“I enjoyed my first time eating at Maggiano's. We celebrated my sis in law's birthday there. We ordered chicken entrees and pastas. The servings were enormous and they even have an option to order take home for a cheaper price. We tried their desserts-- the New York style cheesecake was just okay but their Tiramisu was so good. Since it was a birthday lunch, they served a piece of Tiramisu with a lighted candle for the celebrant. We were so full and still had lots of take-homes..Kid-friendliness: There were some toddlers from another table and saw that they were seated on a high chair and looked comfortable. The placement of tables and chairs were not cramped so the kids could somehow run around.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp at the entrance and the wheelchair could be freely pushed inside and fit into the dining area.“
“Michelle is usually my sever (the 2 times I’ve come has been during the lunch special hr) She’s great. The Cesar salad is well done, as is the pizza. Sausage is my jam, my friend had cheese and my son had pepperoni. Great service and great pricing for a solid meal.Parking: Parking CAN be great or CAN be a pain…downtown Libertyville depends on time of visit for parking accessibility.Kid-friendliness: It’s an open space, and allows for kids to be around freelyWheelchair accessibility: The front door and vestibule are wide enough for classic or electric wheelchairs and the tables allow for great accessibility.“
“One of my all time favorite oldschool family owned places ,same recipe since day 1 in 1966! The very best thin crust in the Northwest Suburbs for sure ! Their homemade meatballs are amazing , add some to Manicotti or try Meatball Mushroom pizza for major “
“Austin was awesome! The staff was polite and attentive. When Austin got busy, Marco helped out. The restaurant is a beautiful hidden gem. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The restrooms were clean and well stocked. Can't wait to return when the weather is nicer so I can enjoy the patio.“
“My husband and I went here for our anniversary and we had the best experience. Our waiter was amazing he was very sweet, caring, and funny. Simply because of him we will be back again soon.Dietary restrictions: The gluten free noodles are very good.“
“If you're looking to buy some of the best fresh/dried pasta on the North Shore to cook at home, this is your spot. The only problem is once you have it, it's impossible to go back to store-bought dried pasta. They have a ton of different varieties that they sell by the pound. They'll also put it together into a really cute gift bag if you want a fun present for a friend. In addition to the dried pasta that they make in-house, they have probably around a hundred prepared frozen dishes in their freezer ready to take home and warm up, again all made in-house, as well as homemade frozen pizzas that are equally fantastic. This is a true gem, family run, and you can tell everything they do is done with love. There's nothing else like it around.“
“It's a small restaurant with big food! You will want to go early because they don't reservations. Wine list could use an update. They were out of a particular Italian red wine on the list, and the white wines need an overhaul. Otherwise, everything was excellent.“
“Alrighty than... I have been ordering my deep dish from Lou's for over 22 yrs. If you love it you stick to it correct? Thought I would try Rosati's for a change and ohh my... glad I did.Lots of toppings...fantastic tomatoes..perfectly done...taste was spot on...some of the best I have had. Knowing I have had over 400 in the last 20 yrs or so. I always thought they were a secondary pizza place for me & my friends. I WAS WRONG !LOVED IT AND WILL ORDER AGAIN SOON. NOUF SAID ...hold on one more thing it was GREAT DEEP DISH ! ! ! ( No I have not been drinking)“
“This was my wife and I first time at Lino's although we have heard about it for years. It was great! Cleanliness was. Thee first thing we noticed. Second, the service was great. Food and drinks were very good. We enjoyed our time at Linos and we will be back.“
“I came here for my moms birthday, and I have no regrets. The food was very delightful and tasty. I had their truffle cheese stuffed ravioli, and it was amazing. I'm very excited to see what else they have to offer.The waiter helping us was of very kind by suggesting my mom a wine without much history with wine. She is a people pleaser and admitted she wasn't the biggest fan, but the ability to offer one's experience to assist was great nonetheless.“
“We love this restaurant. I always get their Orecchiette (olive oil, garlic, sausage, escarole, beans) and Spumoni Bomba, which you can't typically get at other Italian restaurants. We also split one of their special salads. Their staff is always so friendly and helpful.“
“My family has been going to Maciano's for the last several years and, while there have been a few hiccups in management since we first started going there, the last couple of years have been filled with extremely good service, and really tasty food. We haven't been able to eat in as much as we used to, but we regularly get the same order every Wednesday and being it home to eat while we watch TV. The portions are generous for the price and the food always tastes fresh. One of the best qualities of the food is that it warms up extremely well no matter what you're getting, so it makes for great leftovers. The staff there are also incredibly friendly, and even on very busy days with less staff, they always make sure to keep the customers satisfied. I highly recommend to anyone who's looking for an Italian restaurant in the area and wants to support a local business!Kid-friendliness: There's nothing too formal or fancy about the restaurant, and there are a few kids dishes that taste pretty good. The food isn't exactly colorful, but it's very palatable for kids, and the few desserts here are quite good“
“Solid pizza & salad, and a beautiful small business Loved the fresh ingredients, and the crispy crust that HELD UP to all those fresh ingredients. We brought our kids in on Valentine's Day. What a pleasant experience!!! Beautiful space too. We will be back!“
