30 Best Italian Restaurants in Naperville

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our team had the absolute BEST experience at La Sorella di Francesca! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, the food was incredible, and the service was next-level. A huge shoutout to Donny Greco, who went above and beyond to make us feel right at home—like we were dining with family. It’s rare to find that kind of genuine hospitality and care these days. If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with heartfelt service, this is the place. We can’t wait to come back!“

“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“

“Traverso’s Restaurant – A Naperville Heartbeat Whenever Bruce and I walk through the door at Traverso’s, it’s like coming home to family. From the moment you arrive, the energy is warm, welcoming, and unmistakably local—a true neighborhood institution. Owners and brothers Paul Traverso and Mike Traverso have poured their hearts into this place since 1993. Their presence is felt in every hand-shaken introduction and every sincere “How’s everything tonight?” from the staff. There's genuine pride and care in how the restaurant is run, and it shows. The layout is perfect. The lounge/bar area buzzes with friendly chatter over cocktails, while the dining room remains cozy and intimate. It’s a thoughtful division—great for those who want to unwind at the bar, yet still prefer a quiet dinner elsewhere. The recent remodel enhanced that charm without losing the heart of the place. Now, the food—oh, the food. The grilled lemon chicken wings are a revelation: crisp, juicy, tangy, and always our order number one. But it's the pizza that holds a special place in our hearts. Imagine cracker-thin crust so light it melts on your tongue, topped with savory sausage and pepperoni in perfect harmony with the sauce—every bite unforgettable. Service is consistently on point. Every visit means attentive smiles, knowing nods, thoughtful refills, and food that arrives just when you're expecting it. It’s that comforting reliability that makes you feel cared for, always. This place isn’t just a restaurant—it’s ours. Whether for a casual Tuesday night or a family celebration in their elegant dining or event room, Traverso’s delivers excellence wrapped in familiarity. To everyone in Naperville: if you haven’t experienced the exceptional hospitality and authentic Italian fare here, you’re missing out on something special.“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“Great service and food! Sat in the bar area.“

“Fabulous food and service.“

“Service was stellar- server brought me two samples of wine with no hesitation. . Food was excellent - meat and cheese board app was excellent. Ordered two pizzas - very good. Loved the crust! High quality.
I just did not prefer where I was sat -felt like a porch. Would like to sit in the main dining next time- this is just my preference .“

“Consistently great pizza we have been ordering from here for years. Several out of town family members always request we order from Little Italian when they’re in town too.“

“Took a large party there for dinner and had an excellent experience. Our waiter was extremely friendly and the service was quick. Enjoyed making my own entree. Also loved being able to split the check using their on table screen. What a great concept. Wish other restaurants provided that service.“

“Food is Awesome. Delivered in a half hour“

“I took my wife out for her birthday at the Naperville location. We were immediately greeted and seated by a very friendly hostess. Our waitress Tina, who was also the bartender was phenomenal very attentive and caring. Scott, the manager was very friendly and professional as we watched him help out from the time we got there till the time we left.(Great team work) You do not see customer service like that anymore. we will definitely be back soon. Also the restaurant is beautiful after waiting fourteen months. Glad to see you back!“

“Drove by this place and decided to grab a pizza from here for family dinner Friday. So glad I did! The thin crust veggie was amazing. Perfect balance of cheese to sauce ratio. Would totally go back!!“

“Delicious salads and wood fired pizza! I loved the Cran-Apple & Bleu Cheese Salad with Raspberry Dressing and the Bricks Pizza! Friendly & helpful staff. Outdoor patio. Catering available. Wood Fired Pizza is the BEST! (2025) 🥗🍕“

“Excellent food and good service“

“Their Take and Bake items are a must for quick evening meals. My go-to choices are any of the Lasagnas, Sausage & Peppers, as well as Meatballs. I am also a fan of the pizza dough, which I use for homemade calzones and their shredded parmesan. This is my favorite place for all fresh Italian foods. Zeppe's has been my answer to meet my catering needs as well; 3 years in a row. This is the perfect local market.“

“Great Pizza! Ok Service. Nice atmosphere“

“We had a relatively large order covering 15 people and ordered 7 pizzas of different sizes and ingredients, pasta and salad. Lou's prepared the order perfectly as requested, the order was ready for pick-up at the quoted time, and the staff providing the pick-up service were helpful and friendly. The pizzas were really good and thankfully there were left-overs for our guests to take home.“

“Deep Dish is a must-try when in Chicago! This is one of the restaurant that specializes in deep-dish pizza. Their deep fish is flavorful, and perfectly baked with that famous buttery crust. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and it truly lives up to the Chicago pizza reputation. If you want an authentic local experience, this spot should be at your list.“

“Best Detroit style crust ever! We love Jets. Hands down best pizza for the money. The flavor is incredible. If in doubt, get the turbo flavored crust Detroit style. Can't go wrong. Pizza love!💕🍕💕“

“Excellent service & tasty pizza🍕 Great service!!!“

“Ordered a pizza tonight through an Uber eats promo and it’s the best pizza that has ever come from here. Absolutely perfectly cooked, and perfect sauce/cheese/veggies ratio. Whoever is in the kitchen tonight, July 3rd, please give them a high five for me.“
