50 Best Italian Restaurants near Lemont

“INCREDIBLE Italian cuisine. Everything was made fresh to order by the owner himself, who also was our server! Small quaint little spot, like your typical little old school italian eatery in Little Italy! Highly reccommend! Oh, the best Vodka Sauce I have ever had in my life. Try the wrapped eggplant in Vodka Sauce, Maddone!“

“We dined here tonight for the 1st time and Rosebud exceeded our expectations! Very welcoming from the moment we walked in until we left. 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!“

“Absolutely loved dinner last night and can’t wait to return. Very authentic flavors. All four dishes were well prepared. Chicken Special w/Prosciutto & Fresh Mozz was wonderful. Fettuccine Alfredo - fantastic. Marinara Sauce - spot on. Table salad was delicious. Cocktails were delightful! Tiramisu Cannoli’s IT Ice - all just perfect. Our server made wonderful suggestions and was very attentive. The entire staff was very friendly and welcoming. Excellent experience all around. Really had a great time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best beef around and everything else is quite tasty as well“

“Definitely recommend...this place is awesome!“

“If you prefer a salty sauce this is your only option in Lemont and its quite good. We've had two of two good experiences.

It took us a while to try it out. Been in Lemont 3 years. Every Rosatis is different from the next. La Grange Park and Countryside Rosatis have sugar sauce which our family cannot eat. We finally decided to try this rosatis. Glad we did. Lemont is slim pickings for pizza. We usually drive to neighboring towns but no more. Very happy with the two separate orders we've gotten.“

“I have nothing but compliments for this wonderful establishment! My fiancé and I went out to dinner last night and had a taste for authentic Italian. I found this place online and read nothing but wonderful reviews about the food, and service. Located in downtown Westmont. Parking was so easy (right across the street), and from the moment we walked in we were treated like royalty. The manager Sergio greeted us with a huge smile, sat us, and told us a little about the restaurant. Our server Alysa was nothing short of amazing, knowledgeable, and gave us wonderful recommendations. We felt like family! All of the food is made in house, pastas, sauces, and even the wine and desserts! You can taste the quality of the ingredients, and tell that every single person puts so much care into making sure every customer is happy. The whole experience was wonderful, and it’s so nice to see small (not chain restaurants) are thriving. It’s been a long time since we had an experience like this at a restaurant and we appreciate their hospitality! I think we found our new date night spot! We will be back!! OFTEN! If I could give 10 stars I would! 👏🏻🍾🩷🙏🏻🫶🏻“

“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!!!“

“Loved Papa Joe's of Lockport! It was my first time and I will definitely be back! The ambience, food, and staff are amaziiiing! ❤️“

“I’d like to think that if I had a Nonna, she’d be welcoming and never fail to overfeed me. Her food would be hearty and flavorful and she’d never let me leave empty handed. Well, Mamma Onesta’s is as close as I’ll ever get to having a Nonna of my own. Mamma Onesta’s was cozy with the most hospitable staff. She’s situated on the cutest corner of downtown Lockport. Her food is outstanding and the portions are unbelievable. Give this little family business a try - you wont be disappointed!“

“Visited Ela’s restaurant in Western Springs over the weekend. On Sunday they have a half off pizza special. Highly recommend the pizza. It is a thicker dough, but it is absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the calamari which was just as good. Service from Rebecca was exceptional and overall good experience.“

“I love that fact that when they are super busy, they try to limit the waiting time. We only waited 20 minutes. The server Ben was super friendly and attentive. He doesn't mind all the requests from the kids. When we were running low on drinks, came back with more and took the old ones. He made sure that the table wasn't overcrowded with dinnerware. We wanted to try the different samples of wine and he brought them to us.“

“We had a private 70th Birthday at the Downer’s Grove location last weekend The food (buffet) was great, and the service was top notch. Our server Rocky and his team were on top of every detail. Our 55 guests were taken care of like we were family. I’d highly recommend this restaurant for your events!“

“This fast food restaurant surprised me. I came upon it totally by chance, had never heard of it,, and since I was in the Chicago area (not a common thing), and was heading out, it seemed like a good opportunity.

Ordered an Italian beef with hot peppers - the ONLY way to have it - and it was delicious; juicy, flavorful, and a good portion. I'd DEFINITELY try Buona's again without hesitation!“

“Their a top 10. The food quality is amazing, quick and they can serve groups of any size parties. The pizza is fabulous, Ruben are probably the best in the area, soups are great, cocktails are tasty. Just wonderful. It is worthy your money, enjoy.“

“One of my favorites in the west suburbs of Chicago.“

“I was there September 12 Friday night for my birthday with my nieces. Our dinner was outstanding. The food was delicious. The service was great. We went two doors down and we had so much fun drinking and dancing and that service was great too. I will be going back for special occasions thank you for making my day special Tina 💜“

“We were there Friday night me and my best friend. The manager was exceptional. Food was on point like always.“

“Paisans is quickly becoming one of our favorite restaurants. The bbq chicken salad is my favorite salad in the area. It's hearty, large portion, and always consistent. If you're into chicken vesuvio you should get it here yum yum yum especially the potatoes. We also enjoy their thin cut pizza because it's still thick enough to hold the toppings but is never burnt on the bottom like other places. The meat is quality too when it comes to the toppings we enjoy the pepperoni and sausage. The only potential negative is the restaurant is always extremely noisy but it's a pizzeria and bar so can't really expect anything different and the food is worth it.“

“Food was good. I had the spaghetti with meatballs...nice portion as well. What you see in the picture is what I'm bringing home so easily enough for 2 modest sized meal. My gf loved the pomegranate martini and had two....she said she caught a nice buzz“

“Our family had many memorable meals at Papa Passero’s as my three sons were growing up! It brings back wonderful memories! I was recently there with friends, and it still does a great job of taking care of whole families! Bravo!“

“Since we moved to the area in 2017 this has been our go to spot for my wife and two daughters, last night again did not disappoint - the food , service is on point every time! It’s nice to have a place to go to and wind down after a long week!“

“Beautiful restaurant in a great location. Food was amazing and staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.“

“Great food and wonderful service. Marge is so warm and friendly. For a lunch buffet a very pleasant experience. Will be back soon“

“My son found this gem in Lockport, our first order went to pickup and saw the owner .very down to earth person, food was great dessert was awesome. Future diners and only 9 minutes away from us . Everyone should come and enjoy good food here .“

“We arrived late and were tired and hungry. Miss Maria was so nice and kind to serve us. My burger and my daughters salmon Caesar salad were wonderful. Miss Maria knew we were stressed out, she was there to take care of us. We were in town for my cousins funeral and Miss Maria was most accommodating of our needs. We returned in the am for a very nice breakfast.“

“Phenomenal food and service“

“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!“
