50 Best Italian Restaurants near Lisle

“Food was fabulous! Margarita Pizza and cheesecake crepe both delicious“

“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.“

“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. 🍕❤️“

“Great pizza! Moved into the neighborhood and was trying to find a good local pizza joint. I found them via advertisement in the weekly ads. Business is always very professional and kind.“

“Great experience as always. Evan our server was outstanding as was the food. George the manager stopped by to make sure everything was perfect. Great service, great food.“

“Amazing food and service every time. The 8-finger cavatelli is made in house and amazing. The ahi tuna was out of this world with the mushrooms and risotto.“

“Absolutely amazing food. Highly recommend“

“We were at a holiday/retirement party. Large group. We were well cared for. I highly recommend them for a date night, happy hour or a large party!“

“The food is excellent and I cannot say enough kind words about how amazing the staff is. Every time we bring our toddler here, they treat her so special, making her smile, and so attentive to her. She absolutely adores the servers we’ve had. It makes you feel like part of the family.“

“It’s a nice place to eat. Unfortunately there was a party of 10 celebrating a birthday. They was very loud and obnoxious. Couldn’t really enjoy the atmosphere. Staff didn’t tell them to lower their voices. Maybe they need a special room away from the front so that other paying customers can enjoy their meals and conversations.“

“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! 👏🏻🍾🩷🙏🏻🫶🏻“

“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!“

“This was our second time dining at Positano’s and it was just as fabulous! The food here is superb, the wait staff are very attentive and we love the photos on the wall! The Seabass was to die for and the grilled seafood appetizer was divine! Our only regret is that we live in New York and cannot be frequent patrons of this wonderful establishment! Mille Grazie!!“

“Service is excellent and warm. Food is outstanding and delicious. Highly recommend to anyone who has a taste for authentic home made Italian cuisine! We’ll be back!“

“Love this place! We eat here frequently on Sundays!“

“In Chicago/Addison for work and could only walk few blocks for meal. Serino’s walk in was closed but drive thru was open and was asked to come to drive thru window. I didn’t get the man’s name that took my order and I asked him to make me a hot sandwich….he suggested the Italian beef ….he did ask if I wanted to sit inside while they made sandwich but I just waited outside but appreciated his invite. The sandwich was delicious and the aujus he added to dip sandwich in was excellent. Serinos was my first meal in Chicago area….I highly recommend and look forward to enjoying another meal there soon.“

“A true favorite—consistently amazing! This restaurant never disappoints. The Risotto of the Day is always outstanding—creamy, perfectly seasoned, and made with care. Pair it with their expertly crafted Old Fashioned or a nice glass of wine for the perfect meal. And don’t skip dessert—the limoncello gelato or tiramisu is an absolute must! The owner’s warmth and hospitality make every visit feel special. From start to finish, it’s a five-star experience every time!“

“Food is fantastic with great portions. Get you some good food here.“

“Check see & please tell ?“

“Everything we ordered, beef/sausage combo , baptized with giardinera + regular baptized beef with sweet peppers and an order of fries. The best!
Young man at the counter was very upbeat, genuine, and professional. He came to our table to help me download the new app and apply the points from my purchase. What a sweetheart.
The place was very well kept; clean, no napkins on the floor. Clean tables. Not like Port!//@$.“

“This past weekend a group ( 14 ) of us experienced a wonderful evening at Pazzi Di Pizza in Elmhurst. It was a fun get-together that was enhanced by great appetizers and varied, delicious pizzas. We also were served by some of the best and most courteous staff we have ever experienced. Marco, the Manager, who attentively scheduled our evening, came over, introduced himself, inquired about our needs, and then introduced us to Charlie, our evening's server. Charlie was exceptional!! It was our second time meeting at this venue, and I highly recommend a visit!“

“Food and service fantastic. They were running behind with reservations but they comped us drinks an an appetizer...which is pretty unheard of these days. Rachel, our server, was phenomenal, I liked her so much I even asked her to help me "customize" my pasta dish, which she happily did (and it turned out great! The lobster diavolo but with vodka sauce...keeping the spice level.) Caesar salad good but not traditional...and missing anchovies (I know, I'm weird. Very fresh ingredients though.) We were a party of 6 and everyone loved their food. Reasonable prices too. Will definitely be back! Only wish it weren't so cramped inside.“

“Wonderful food and service!!“

“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.“

“Amazing staff and the food was literally so fresh and DELICIOUS!!!! Worth the trip & portions are HUGE! I had the Diablo shrimp pasta, so flavorful and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Will be back again! :)“

“Had dinner on 12/17/2023 service and food was excellent. Gluten free menu available.“

“Ohmygoodness... From the get-go, we knew this was going to be a wonderful venue for our daughter's bridal shower. To start, I met Steven and Karen at an exciting fundraising event many months ago. We dined at Lucca several times thereafter. Each time we experienced the food and service to be impeccable! We then met Sonia, the Sales Manager, who was lovely to work with! We were assured that that our event would be terrific! Indeed, Karen and Shannon were amazing at anticipating our guests' needs. They seemed to know exactly what everyone needed at the exact time they needed it. Our guests were so impressed with the delicious homemade dishes and the attentive service! I can't speak highly enough of the entire experience at Lucca!“

“Great service and always consistent food. They have a partnership until August 23 with @makeawish“

“I have been wanting to go Rosemary and Jeans for the longest time and I am so so glad we made it! The overall atmosphere of this place is incredible! It's homey, inviting, and all around makes you feel welcome. The staff here also brings out the best of the restaurant. Attentive, great suggestions and so so kind.

Now the food! It was amazing! Flavorful, fresh, and all around delicious! I cannot wait to get back here and sit outside on their gorgeous patio!

If you're looking for a great Italian stop with a great feel and good food, check them out! You won't regret it! We'll be back!“

“Josephine, our server, was great; she remembered serving us two years ago! And she made perfect food and wine recommendations. We ordered the lasagna and the orecchiette-both delicious. The tartufo was something new for us and didn't disappoint. Roberto's is a lovely restaurant and we definitely will return again next year when we are in the Chicago area.“

“We were a fan of the fabulous food already. But when my husband and daughter planned a surprise Birthday party for me, we were VERY impressed. They said whenever they asked Ricardo for something the only thing they heard was: No problem! OR… Whatever you need! And ALL of our guests complimented the food and most took home doggie bags. If you need a party room and want to work with the most accommodating staff - give Ricardo a call. If I could give a 10 star rating - I would. I promise you won’t be disappointed!“

“If you're looking for a perfect date night spot, this is it! We did see families enjoying their dinner too, so great for families. The atmosphere, service and food is top tier!!! 💯 Hands down, best filet and chicken vesuvio! They have live music on the weekends, which makes it fun for a night out with friends too!“

“Shoutout to Traverso’s in Naperville for making our daughter’s graduation dinner last night so enjoyable. This tired mama is grateful for the awesome owner and fantastic servers who made the end of the day relaxing and yummy.“

“Great food and friendly servers!“

“Food was delicious. Service was great and nice ambiance too. Lunch menu was reasonable & delish.“

“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…“

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

“Best Italian restaurant in the world! Fantastic atmosphere“

“I was on a soft diet for that diet and I thought of Olive Garden. I place a take out order because i had just left the hospital. I got there they was closed. I was willing to wait and i am glad i did. The food was great, Customer service meet my expectation. Branden was very friendly and professional. He is an asset to the company. I had not been to Olive Garden since you guys moved. I enjoyed my food. Hat off to the cooks. I will return very soon.“

“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.“

“I couldn't believe how inexpensive a dinner for four was. We ordered from the “epic dinner for four“ selection. As we were four men, we were hungry, and we could've used a little more food on the plates. But still, for what you got for the price, it was great.“

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

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

“Friendly, professional staff and delicious food.“

“This is a hidden find at the Oakbrook mall. There are many healthy menu options, and the portion size of my salmon selection was generous. There are happy hour prices that entice you to have a cocktail or appetizer when you aren't thinking that way, and 1/2 price wine bottles on Wednesdays. We were treated to a friendly and attentive server. I had not been here for over a year, and my most recent visit was great again.“

“We had food catered from Two Brothers and it was delicious! Everything was ready on time and the food was hot and plentiful. We had an Anniversary party with 50 people and everyone enjoyed the selection and variety of great food! I highly recommend Two Brothers for your next event! You will not be disappointed!“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“You can’t beat the quality of the dishes they make…from scratch!! Best subs in the state and the chicken parmigiana is out of this world. Mike and his boys definitely get hospitality! Go now and get some!!“

“very good razonable prizes“
