31 Best Italian Restaurants in Naperville

“My favorite dishes are the Spicy shrimp polenta and the Garlic gnocchi...amazing! My favorite place to eat!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“We always enjoy the food here. This family owned business uses fresh ingredients and it shows. You must give it a try. 😊“

“Check see & please tell ?“

“Tom brunick funeral there today great time“

“Angeli’s had been our go-to for showers and funeral. We lost my Dad this month and they were so accommodating. Thank you so much for being a part of our 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.“

“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!!“

“Just WOW!!

The Italian beef was exactly what I was hoping for — perfectly dipped, with mozzarella cheese and hot giardiniera. The beef was tender, juicy, and had so much flavor. It was one of those sandwiches where you take the first bite and immediately know they did it right.

We also ordered a pizza and asked for it to be well done. I asked them to go a little heavier on the hot giardiniera and a little lighter on the green peppers. When the pizza came out, it was cooked exactly the way we wanted. The crust had that perfect crispiness from being well done, and the toppings and giardiniera gave it a really good kick without overpowering everything else. It was honestly one of the better pizzas I've had in a while.

What really stood out to me, though, was how well everything was taken care of. The people working in the lobby were very attentive, friendly, and actually communicated with us throughout the experience. You could tell they were paying attention and making sure people were being taken care of instead of just going through the motions.

The restaurant itself was also extremely clean. Everything looked well maintained, and the bathrooms were absolutely spotless. I'm not exaggerating when I say they were some of the cleanest restaurant bathrooms I've seen in a very long time. That definitely says a lot about the people who work here and how much they care about the overall experience.

We came in around lunchtime, so it was a nice, relaxed dining experience. From the food to the service to the cleanliness, everything was just really well done.

Definitely impressed with this place. The Italian beef, the pizza, the service, and the cleanliness all exceeded our expectations. We will absolutely be coming back!“

“We stopped in last night for dinner for the first time… what a super decision! Food was so awesome! Had both the Coppola and Tarantino, dined in. Both sandwiches were absolutely perfect! Tasty left it as the menu suggested and they were awesome! The bread was amazing! The staff were super friendly! This place was so good we got some cream of mushroom soup and cannoli to go! Just a. Awesome experience!“

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

“Fabulous food and service.“

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

“My family took me to Piccolo Bucco for my birthday and we all liked it.

We sat in their 4 season patio area, we went at 3pm and it was the perfect time to sit and enjoy each others company with out it being packed and we did not feel rushed. At night I imagine it’s much more romantic as they had lights on the ceiling with vines and lemons. Cute set up!

We had 6 people-
I made reservations online- no wait-they were very accommodating with moving a chair and having us close to the door bc I’m in a wheelchair and it can get tricky with aisles etc.

(I can’t remember exact names of the food)
Spicy calamari was good
We tried the fried stuffed squash blossom and those who tried it really liked it.
They have 2 flavors of slushie sangria right now
Peach and passion fruit
We liked the peach, didn’t try the other one

They do have bread but it is more like a warm flat bread- we had 6 people and only got 5 pieces and it was not complimentary. It was ok - we liked the spicy dipping sauce it came with
We didn’t try any pizza this time but we are definitely going to next time.
I tried their Cacio e Pepe and it was good, there’s a lot of pepper (big part of the dish)
The start of the show- all 6 of us agreed- chicken Parmesan is excellent
Rigatoni alla spicy vodka sauce with sausage - it’s the last item on the left side of the menu-very good! Under entrees

I got a free gelato since it was my bday and I chose the chocolate hazelnut and it was so good! Even had a few crunchy nuts and a biscotti

The table shared a piece of chocolate hazelnut cake and that was very delicious

The set up was nice, great place for a date, family dinner, business lunch- I think just about any reason to meet up- this place is great!

You could totally split a pizza or an entree if you were looking to spend a little less money.

They also offer wine flights, wine tasting (like at Cooper’s hawk)

There’s an outside area between this place and Ruths Chris steak house. It’s a public area so no alcoholic drinks are allowed but it’s a great place to sit on a nice day - they had chairs, benches and a few Adirondack chairs

All together we give it an 8/10 and plan to go again!“

“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.“

“Food is Awesome. Delivered in a half hour“

“Great Pizza! Ok Service. Nice atmosphere“

“Started ordering from here and I have to say the meatball sandwich is fantastic. The pizza is very good as well. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“We absolutely love this place. They have good pizza, the absolute best chicken wings, and great adult beverage specials daily. The atmosphere is cozy and casual. It's incredibly kid-friendly; one of the few places I feel my children can actually be themselves at. But the best part of the place is the service and staff. it begins with a fantastic manager, PJ. He always makes sure every customer is satisfied, and is incredibly dedicated to supporting local schools and the community. Our two favorite servers are Gavin, and Jess. They are incredibly prompt, kind, and accommodating. My favorite thing is how they treat my children. They always make them feel happy and comfortable, which makes our night stress-free. Little Italian is also the best place to go for large parties and group gathering. They are incredibly accommodating, and can almost always offer you the space, even on relatively short notice. Once the bartender was our server, and delivered the same extraordinary customer experience, also paying special attention to my children, making our night fantastic and stress free.“

“Lou's is one of our favorite pizza restaurants. Unfortunately, our last visit did not live up to our previous ones. The Lou''s deep dish pizza had a crust that was very tough. The server could hardly cut it and we could not cut it with out knives without a lot of muscle and sawing motions. The server did not come back to serve us our subsequent slices, as most do. Also, it was one of our guests birthday's and the server brought out a mini cookie with ice cream and whipped cream, which was nice. We noticed other tables had a cherry and a candle on top. And the noise level was really high.“

“Had a wonderful dinner celebrating a friend’s birthday. Great service, excellent food. Just wish it wasn’t so loud and they had more parking.“

“Excellent food and good service“

“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) 🥗🍕“

“I just want to give a shout-out to our server, Maria Saenz. She was absolutely amazing! So friendly, attentive, and genuinely pleasant, with a smile the entire time. She kept checking to make sure we had everything we needed and even offered to pack my favorite chicken gnocchi soup to go. She was such a breath of fresh air and really made our visit special. Olive Garden is lucky to have her!“

“We had a wonderful experience celebrating my husband's birthday! The restaurant gave us a fantastic table, which made the evening feel extra special. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the entire experience was exactly what we had hoped for. We really appreciated the attention to detail and look forward to coming back!“

“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!💕🍕💕“

“Lou’s pizza is always a winner! Their buttercrust deep dish and thin crust pizza are both amazing! They will cook it to your liking and it is always hot & delicious. It has been a staple in the Chicago area for years! I remember going to the restaurant in Lincolnwood as a kid with my family, now we take all of our out of town guests to the one in the Gold Coast or doing takeout from the Naperville 95th Street location! Highly recommend for great food (salads too) and great service!! FYI, they also have a great reward program.“

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

“This new manager, I believe her name is Sarah is better than the last manager.

Food is amazing & love the way they balance the pizza toppings!

Also shout out to Max for being an amazing delivery driver!“
