40 Best Italian Restaurants near Lake In The Hills

“During the 7 Friday’s of Lent we went to 5 different fish fry’s, and without a doubt Moretti’s was the best. Not only was the price the best, the amount of fish was the most without AYCE. Great French Fries, homemade coleslaw and plenty of tartar sauce. Another plus was Happy Hour Coors Light drafts for $3. I’d like to thank our server ( Will M. )for doing a great job.“

“Came to Alfredo’s after an absence and saw they made vast improvements, it was clean, open and a nice place to eat, drink and gamble. Staff was pleasant. Enjoyed our experience and will be back“

“My friends surprised me for my birthday. Would definitely do it again.❤“

“Took my wife here for valentine's day and it was fantastic. The food and drinks were amazing, great appetizers and great service, if you want real Italian this is the place to go.We will be back for sure.“

“The food is excellent and the service is even better! It would be a great option for birthday parties!!“

“amazing food! garlic wings, hot wings, bbq wings all 100% perfect. the pizza is one of the best in Cary. the owners and team are great with communicating and serving the towns people!“

“We used to go to Papa Murphy's until they closed and, after trying the pizza places in town, we've found that Alfredo's is the best option in town. Their pizza is very good and they've always been friendly“

“Wow, I have to admit I was completely wrong about Olive Garden! When my sister suggested going, I laughed, thinking it would mean mediocre food, bad service, and unimpressive drinks. But this location totally proved me wrong. Our waitress was absolutely amazing—seriously one of the nicest people I’ve ever met (wish I remembered her name!). The food was delicious, and the drinks were fun and creative. Way to go, Olive Garden—you’ve changed my mind!“

“We love picking up a quick lunch here, our go-to are the Chicago style dogs. Always a treat for a work lunch!“

“The food is delicious every time.“

“We typically use the drive thru. We like your food, always fresh and tasty. Tonight I had the chicken avocado and strawberry salad. The salad was fresh, walnuts were sweet and crispy, dressing was very creamy. The only criticism I have is my chicken avocado and strawberry salad had no avocados. I do understand sometimes you can run out of ingredients or supply chain issues can interfere with menus. I would just ask to have this made known to us upon ordering or upon discovery, all in the interest of good customer service that you usually do deliver.“

“i recently had a disappointing experience at a restaurant that I felt compelled to share. I went there for dinner with my fiancée, mother, and our two young kids, ages 3 and 1. Initially, the dinner was fantastic; we were enjoying our time together and the food was great. However, after about an hour and 20 minutes, we were abruptly told we had to leave because of other reservations. This was incredibly frustrating, especially since I still had my drink left, and we had just paid our tab As we were leaving, we encountered a manager and inquired about the situation. To our shock, she responded by asking if we knew how to read English, which felt incredibly rude and unprofessional. I pulled up my reservation online and nowhere does it say there was a time limit. To make matters worse, as we walked through the bar to exit, she followed my mother and physically shoved her three times. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable in any establishment, and it left a sour taste in what could have been a lovely evening. We called the cops to make a report as the manager "lucy" (she told me this was her name) should never be able to touch a customer. Especially since we were not refusing to leave AND my kids were there to witness it all. In the car my son kept asking why the lady pushed my mom . This shouldn't be something I need to answer as it never should have happened. She tried telling the cops she did not have the "intent" to hurt but to get us out . Yet we were not even refusing to leave...only letting her know it was rude as we still had stuff that was unfinished that we paid for. I understand that restaurants have to manage reservations, but there are respectful ways to handle these situations. Additionally, she left it up to the waiter to tell us we had to leave . I won't be returning, and I hope this feedback helps others make an informed decision. And please , if you were in the bar / restaurant when this all happened , speak up on how wrong it was of her to push someone like that.“

“Great food & great service! Especially on a busy night with music in the square going on. They made sure I was taken care of after they saw me waiting to place an order. The traditional Margherita Pizza was delicious!“

“We went to Woodfire for the first time a few weeks back on a Thursday night to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Full house!! We had the best appetizers, main dishes (pasta & pizza), drinks and the donuts as a treat from our amazingly friendly server was a fabulous ending to a great night! Great atmosphere, food, drinks & service!! Looking forward to going back again soon!“

“very friendly and I'm sure it's gonna be delicious smells great ! great restaurant“

“Amazing catering!! Had for grad party. Was so great. Lots of compliments“

“As long time patrons of Cucina Bella, we had high expectations for my daughter’s bridal shower, which were far surpassed. We had 56 guests; the restaurant was closed so we used the entire dining room and bar area. The exposed brick-walled room has such character and warmth; we added only a few table centerpieces and candles. The delicious food was served family style and each table had plenty (we took leftovers home)! It was high quality, very fresh, and all dishes were served at the correct temperatures.
Our menu included bruschetta, grilled calamari, house salad, penne marinara, gnocchi with vodka sauce, chicken Francese and tiramisu. This penne marinara is a flavorful departure from a typical mostaccioli dish. My daughter’s favorite is the gnocchi with vodka - the gnocchi were pillow soft and the sauce perfectly robust. The tasty chicken was tender and savory. Can’t tell you how many guests said they literally wanted to “drink all of the sauces”! They raved about the scrumptious food, mimosa bar, bloody Marys, ambience and service - and they are still talking about it!
Kim and Lindsey were amazing and did not miss a beat in providing top notch service for the large group. I have no idea how they did it all and did it so well - all in good cheer! Erin is a terrific event coordinator, very responsive, thorough and professional, offering suggestions and lots of patience! High praise to the kitchen staff as well. All helped to create a most memorable experience for us. Thank you!“

“the foid was good the bartenders friendly, on the spot and gave service with a smile! band was great! dance floor tight tho.“

“We found you guys years ago: your our favorite spot: Just tried your cauliflower pizza Omg it was fantastic!!!!!“

“Malnati's Lake in the Hills is a great spot for kicking off the New Year (as we did tonight), celebrating a birthday or just enjoying a delicious pizza, salad and a beer with your friends and family. It's a warm, comfortable place with the friendliest servers in Chicagoland. It's on our top 10 list for local eateries. Love Lou Malnati's!“

“The food is absolutely delicious here. The service was very slow but could have been because it was a sunday evening even though there weren't too many people around

We waited twenty minutes to be waited on, they did apologize, but I think if this would have brought a little dish and the house would have made, let me feel better and not so upset“

“Rosatti is so good!!! They have something for everyone! One of the best gluten-free pizzas I have ever had! Great service and atmosphere“

“Everything was amazing. To start the pizza is ??????. I get their half cheese and half pepperoni and it is the best pizza I have ever had, and that is saying a lot because I don’t really like pizza. Their service is generally fast but you can’t eat in the pizza place, it is takeout or delivery.“

“They have the BEST pizza and always deliver it HOT!!“

“Love this Rosati’s location! Food is always ready on time and delicious! Thin crust pizza has a nice crispy thin crust (I’ve had other rosatis and they have been thicker like pan) with abundant cheese! Party packages are great too. Well priced. Friendly staff. Highly recommend!“

“Wow! The staff, owners, and clientele here are awesome! This place is the most welcoming place I’ve ever experienced. 10/10“

“Zzas Italian beef is my absolute fave!! Fresh cut fries are amazing. We just tried meat lovers Square pizza...DELISH!“

“Ordered two large pizzas from here for the first time yesterday. The man on the phone was polite and our food was delivered within the time frame he gave. The pizza was delivered hot and they definitely did not skimp on the toppings. Everyone really enjoyed the food so we will order again in the future.“

“Bitcoin mining investment through Benjah Raphael has made me financially stable. His good trading techniques has brought me more withdrawals. I highly recommend Financial Analyst-Benjah Raphael“

“DELISH!!!! The Chicago Classic is a MUST HAVE! And the service is great :-)“

“Huge thanks to Rosatis! I wanted to show my appreciation for my son's teachers and bought a group lunch for them to be delivered. They worked with me to order the right amount of food since it was a smaller group than a typical catering package. They also kindly delivered slightly outside their delivery area since their closer location is closed during lunch. The food was delivered on time, especially important since the group had a fixed lunch hour time. And the food was hot and delicious! Definitely highly recommend! Thank you Sunny and team!“

“I got a slice of pizza with pop deal and it was a good size piece and hot and tasty“

“Their Friday Night Fish Fry is a favorite of ours!“

“We ordered a catering package from Papa Saverios in Crystal Lake for Mother's day and the food was outstanding. Our package included the Italian beef, mostaccioli, fried chicken and swapped out the garden salad tray for their chopped salad (for an extra cost) but was so happy they were able to accommodate us. Everyone commented on how good the food was especially and surprisingly the fried chicken. It came crispy, moist and delicious. We will continue to do our catering with them! Thanks Papa Saverios for an outstanding job!“

“This pizza is amazing. Why is it so amazing you might ask? Because despite me choking on a piece and having to be rushed to the emergency room I still will be eating the leftover slices once my throat feels better. Will probably order a fresh one while I'm at it. Kudos to you guys!“

“I live in Sleepy Hollow and I will not order for them he doesn't use real Rosati boxes when he delivers your pizza number one he makes up his own hours number two and his ingredients are horrible and he's very cheap on everything. The owner of Rosati's in Gilbert's is an awesome lady she takes care of all her customers best ingredients best tasting Pizza I'm friends with some of the Rosati family and I know their standards“

“Love Lou's. Ordered the pizzas, and went to pick them up. One took a little longer, and the employee gave us a 4 pack of cookies, for having to wait. Pizza was AWESOME! Love The Lou, deep dish with sausage. They also have a gluten free for those needing it!“

“The family wanted pizza after going to Santa's Village nearby. This popped up on our GPS. We got there and were a bit confused with the sign outside of the locations. But we went inside anyways. We loved it. Ordered appetizer and 2 pizzas (deep dish and a thin crust). The man taking care of us was really attentive. Will definitely come back if we are in the area“

“We recently had a luncheon at Moretti's in Elgin after the funeral of my mother, and I cannot say enough good things about our experience. From the beginning, the professionalism of manager, Felicia, her kindness, and willingness to make this as easy as possible for us during such a difficult time is deeply appreciated. Everything was top-notch: the accommodations, the food, and the service. We can and will definitely recommend for anyone needing a venue in the future. Thank you so very much!“

“I used to have a bad history with this place a couple years ago where the service was terrible and took a long time. Today it was late at night almost a hour till closing, I ordered my pizza and wings, and everything was great. I was just getting out of work and running late so I called ahead and asked if they could wait 10 minutes for me and they were very nice about it. The employees are great and deserve a raise!“
