35 Best Italian Restaurants near Lakemoor

“great atmosphere,quick and friendly.“

“Pizza is always good here. I love their sauce. The monster and fab 4 are my favorite. I like having their Chicago deep dish when I have the taste for the tomatoes and crust. The people are friendly, and pricing is affordable. Mondays, they have a special on extra large pizzas. Make sure you take advantage of that! They have a cozy dining area and gaming. Great spot to meet friends and family.“

“Believe it or not we heard about this from a bartender in Colorado. We went there on her recommendation and she was completely 100% correct. This place is amazing You have to try their weekly pizza specials and their burger specials. I definitely will be there more than once again.“

“I just visited Bimbo’s tonight and had an incredible experience that I just had to share. Initially, I ordered a dish, but when it arrived, I realized it wasn’t quite what I was in the mood for. I mentioned this to the staff, and even though their kitchen was already closed for the night, they went above and beyond to make me something new! They were so understanding and accommodating, which really impressed me.

The new dish they prepared for me was absolutely delicious, and it showed how much they care about customer satisfaction. It’s not every day you encounter a restaurant that’s willing to go the extra mile, especially when the kitchen is technically closed. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming, making it a truly enjoyable dining experience.

I’ll definitely be returning to Bimbo’s, not just for the fantastic food but for the amazing customer service. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and even better hospitality!“

“We live 2.5 hours south of Lake Villa, but we were meeting some friends from Florida for dinner. They were in the area for their grandson’s graduation from Great Lakes Naval Academy. Found this place via Google and it had great reviews, with good reason. We wish we lived closer because it would be a favorite for sure. Probably the best bruschetta and lasagna I’ve had in a very long time. Everyone loved their entrees. We tried multiple pasta dishes and the pizza. Prices were very reasonable and our service was exceptional. Excellent dining experience all around. Highly recommend.“

“Y'all if you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience, Zaza's Restaurant is an absolute hidden gem! 🍝 The portions are incredibly generous, and the flavors are out of this world. It's just a short 20-minute drive from our place, making it the perfect spot for a delicious meal. It's a local favorite, it’s only open on certain days, so plan accordingly! My boss is a huge fan of this place, and now I totally see why. Highly recommend! 🇮🇹 #HiddenGem #AuthenticItalian #ZazasRestaurant #FoodieFind Zaza's Steakhouse and Italian Eatery“

“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.“

“We had fettuccine alfredo with shrimp and shrimp and chicken carbarnara
which was good. Chicken gnocchi soup..good. the salmon was pretty bland and dry.

The chocolate cake was good the tiramisu was not very good (they muct have changed the recipe) and I won't order that again.

Overall it was a good experience but 1 meal and 1 dessert could have been better.“

“They fit us in on New Year’s Eve and made us feel at home. The food was excellent. Kids and adults loved the food. Great, friendly service and a warm atmosphere. Thank you for making a memorable night and saving our New Years Eve!!“

“Our first time there and wow !Amazing food!Great service!The deep dish pizza, let me tell you how amazing that was!!Everything was just great!It's a far drive for us but we would definitely make that drive again to get that food!🙂“

“Ordered last Sat. got to admit it was one of the best pizza I’ve had in a long time, delivery driver was also fast and personable. Will definitely order again.“

“Tonight we held a work meeting and ordered 2 family trays, everyone was working so hard when I picked up my order, even a little early, and they were all so friendly, helpful and this food was delicious! Thank you for doing such a great job for us!!“

“I don’t think I could give enough complements about the food and the service. The pork chop and the halibut schnitzel are to die for!!! But the table side caprese with the fresh mozzarella made tableside and heirloom tomatoes grown in their own garden left us speechless. Service was outstanding. I’d travel here again to experience it all again.“

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

“Always a great meal! The pizzas are amazing and so are the salads. A must for everyone.“

“Rosatis food and service are outstanding !!! The crew at Rosatis care about their customers so they always make sure the food they serve is something they can be proud of. If you haven't had the delicious food from Rosatis yet what are you waiting for you don't know what you're missing. My all time fav is their Monster Pizza?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“My husband and I are in town for one night and had to have some Giordano’s pizza! I have a gluten sensitivity so I was very happy to have the option of ordering gf crust, which was really good! Nothing beats normal dough, but their gf crust measures up well! We also wanted to take our leftover pizza with us and they were willing to put it in containers and wrap in plastic for us so we could take it home in a cooler. They were so nice to do this for us. Very friendly place and great service, as well as food!

Dietary restrictions: Their gluten free crust is awesome! I really miss normal pizza and being able to have some even with gf dough was amazing!“

“The food is always outstanding, but it's the people that truly make the experience exceptional. Every time I visit, I'm greeted with warmth and kindness. The staff goes above and beyond, especially when it comes to making my kids feel special. Their generosity and thoughtful service ensure that each visit is memorable and enjoyable.“

“Excellent food and service. We stopped for breakfast here and I got the build-your-own breakfast skillet and it was excellent. Good-sized portion for my meal and not ridiculously priced. Looks like they are known for their pizza. I definitely will be back to try it, but breakfast was excellent sitting out on their patio that overlooked the canal. Highly recommended. Enjoy!“

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

“Great Food, Service, TV’s and drinks!!!“

“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.“

“Best Italian food I have had in years. Service was amazing (thank you, Kim). The place is very small, though. We had a party of 6 and got what appeared to be the only table over 4. But we are already talking about going back. I can't wait!“

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

“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!“

“The guy manning the front on the $3.50 deal day deserves a raise with the amount of BS that was dished out to him on a day he had no control over. I walked into an altercation with an upset customer and I felt like he handled the situation very well. I got a cheese pizza and a voucher for next time that I’m just grateful for. Thanks Rosati’s CL!“

“I absolutely love the lasagna here but tonight it is especially good!!! Very cheesy and I added cheese to the garlic bread for this cheese-a-holic!!“
