41 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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Came in later in the night with my significant other, I felt bad because we walked in about 20 minutes before close but the man behind the counter was very welcoming! We got a few slices of ? , couple cans of soda, and boneless wings. The food is delicious! Definitely a local staple. I’ll definitely be coming back for the boneless wings.“

“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!!!“

“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! 👏🏻🍾🩷🙏🏻🫶🏻“

The pizza is th Star !!
Last few times the food was not as on par with the first 3-4 times.
Staff was slow and food was slow.
The first few times i went was when they first opened.
Seems service went down a bit!“

“Great place to dine and great food“

“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.“

“The food here is so amazing!!! My husband is not easily impressed with Italian cuisine and he wants to come back! We are from Michigan so it will be a trip well worth it! The staff is so attentive. The baked clams were so good and the linguine with shrimp perfectly cooked. The veal Parmesan was so tender and flavorful! Our server was amazing and on top of everything. I highly recommend this restaurant for everyone!“

“What a stand out team thats making this phenomenal beef with love in their hearts for a good customer experience and interaction. Kristen was killing it on the floor, seemed like she knew every customer and had for years. People like Kristen and her crew don’t just appear out of thin air, come see for yourself…“

“Wonderful place to dine., food was delicious and our server, Fidel, was thee BEST ever! Will definitely return when I’m in Illinois again.“

“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!“

“Very nice. Highly recommend. Excellent food, very good service, great atmosphere and ambiance. Will definitely be back.“

“Chesdan’s is a long-time pizza and pasta spot in Homer Glen. It’s on the small side but don’t let its small size fool you, they serve absolutely top quality delectable dishes! Our favorite is the Jimmy’s Rigatoni. A must try!!! Get the full size dish to share with your love or to take some home. The serving staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is what you’d expect from a small Italian style eatery. A visit will not disappoint and I think you’ll return again and again. A+“

“Great place- very good food, Old Neighborhood Italian 🇮🇹 classic ambiance!“

“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.“

“This place has always been good. We had one in Naperville but they removed it for some reason, either way the service was great and the food was Stellar as usual. The shrimp scampi was absolutely delicious. If you're seeking to just have a lunch date lunch break or any type of date this will be your place. "Chicken Bryan in the photo"“

“Meatball sub with mozzarella is delicious! The mac and cheese bites are great and good cheese dog! Will order from again!“

“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.“

“Very fresh ingredients, made to order, piping hot, great taste.“

“Great pizza! Good amount of toppings, very flavorful, thin crust is crispy and cooked perfectly!! Favorite local pizza!“

“Phenomenal food and service“

“It was a delightful experience to plan my wife’s 65th birthday dinner with Esmeralda’s assistance! Your party room was the perfect size. All of our guests were raving about the delicious food and incredible service! THANKS!“

“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!“

“Little Pops NY Pizzeria Trattoria is a true hidden gem in Lisle, Illinois! From the moment I walked in, I felt like I had stepped into a classic New York pizzeria. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with that perfect blend of charm and nostalgia that instantly reminded me of NYC. The lasagna is absolutely incredible—layers of perfectly cooked pasta, rich and flavorful sauce, and just the right amount of cheese. Every bite was pure comfort food bliss! Of course, their pizza and other Italian dishes are top-notch as well, made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Let's also, not forget about the outstanding Red Velvet Cheesecake! Chefs kiss! Beyond the amazing food, the customer service is outstanding. The staff is friendly, attentive, and truly makes you feel at home. They go above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience. If you're craving authentic New York flavors with a warm and inviting atmosphere, Little Pops is the place to be! I’ll definitely be coming back for more. 🍕❤️“
