50 Best Italian Restaurants near North Aurora

“Fantastic food, service, atmosphere. Feels a bit like actually being there🇮🇹.“

“pizza was great, fast delivery“

“It’s been a while since I’ve had Giordano’s.

First, the ingredients are all really good—sauce, sausage, crust, cheese. But the proportions are off. More sauce, less cheese would make this 5 stars for me (there’s a LOT of cheese).

Operationally, the woman at the front counter was very friendly. The pizza was 10 minutes later than promised (ordered as pickup through UberEats app i.e., not a delivery driver issue). And the pizza slices were not cut all the way through the crust which made for a mess.

The free tiramisu they gave was a nice touch—it was pretty good.

Overall, I’ll be back.“

“What an outstanding Restaurant! I had my daughter's bridal shower at Mio Modo and Michael, the Manager, took care of every detail that I was looking for. The food was excellent, from the appetizer-Calamari to the main meal-Pollo al Limone and Vodka Pasta, to the dessert Tiramisu!! So delicious!! The staff was very attentive and professional. We will definitely be visiting Mio Modo again. Thank you for a delightful experience!“

“Always the best experience! We decided to try new dishes this time and they were all delicious!! Vai’s is our favorite restaurant and the service can’t be beat!“

“Limited menu done right. Portions are small but prepared with care. Always consistent. Shy away from the calamari friti. I’ve had it a few times and hoped it would get better . Barely any shrimp the “ piece. Contained are small and few as is the actual squid. Loaded with veggies instead. Not a value or good choice! The twin medallions of beef are delicious but not substantial. The white fish is the best dish on the mine!“

“I've been going to Riganato's for many years and have never had a bad meal and I've tried quite a few of the entrees. This time I tried something new, the filet medallions (2) $29 and added 5 large shrimp $7. The medallions were VG though a little on the peppery side. I split the shrimp with my wife and they were superb. This entree is not only VG it is a bargain. The medallions are offered in 3 but unless one is a big eater it would likely be too much. The service was excellent too and quiet enough for conversation. I will be back.“

“My husband and I had our 1st meal inside the restaurant. We’d dined on the patio several times. We loved the ambiance inside. We began with the burrata appetizer-outstanding. I opted for the lamb chop special and my husband had the misto de mare, both were delicious. To finish our wonderful dinner, we had the lemoncello and mascarpone cake. Scrumptious!“

“My granddaughter brought me to Gia Mia for my birthday. Food was excellent and the service was beyond excellent…very attentive to detail and everyone was very pleasant. From appetizer to dessert, it was wonderful. Hopefully I can celebrate my 80th birthday at Gia Mia next year. Maybe a small party💕 thank you Gia Mia for a great birthday dinner. Huge thank you to my special granddaughter, Olivia for a wonderful birthday! Treat!“

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

“Solid italian food. I've only tried their pastas and they were very good. Good quality chicken and servings are plentiful. The only suggestion I would make to the restaurant is to better set up their online ordering systems and encourage customers to use them versus calling in orders. Also, allow take out ordering on holidays such as new years eve when you're open.“

“First time we have been there after they took the restaurant over. Great food and service. We for sure will be back. Might even get our supper club there.“

“This is a fun place to eat before going to a show. The staff is very nice and professional. There is a nice feeling in this restaurant. The food was slightly too high priced but good. I love Ron and want to support him in everything he does for us.“

“This restaurant has been here for about 19 years. I have never seen it before last night. We were looking for a new Italian place and came across Nuova Italia. I am glad we did. The quality of food and portion size are a very good value. Its about what you would pay at Biaggi's. the food is much better and more authentic tasting (imo). It does look like they have a major leak in the celling in the middle of the restaurant. It wasn't anything that made me question the food safety or anything. Its just a little distracting from the beautiful aesthetics of the historic building.“

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

“My sausage and spinach pizza with wings were so good delivered by a very courteous young man and as I ordered the young lady was very nice professional as I requested my pizza well done this was my first time order I was super impressed food was terrific.sue b“

“Really great food and they are very fast! Sat with a group of 8 and we were able to quickly enjoy our meal within 30 minutes. We had a time schedule, and it ended up working Perfectly.“

“Julie and Sandy are the best. I had Delicious slices for lunch and I bought two NY cheesecakes for Thanksgiving“

“This was our 1st visit - the place is very nice - our server was very good - food was delicious. Unfortunately we were place by a couple -( appears the male was an employee) - they were loud obnoxious- laughing to loudly- over severed - many of the staff came to chat - it was distracting and annoying. Guess we should have asked to be seated someplace else - I quiet dinner to catch up and enjoy the evening with my brother & his wife was ruined by this " inappropriate" party.“

“love the pan pizza, drive from dekalb just to pick up a hot pizza and drive it home“

“They always have good food. I usually order carryout but decided to go inside today with my sister. I usually order lunch specials to carry out and was glad to see that they have a smaller portion. Meal now available anytime and not just limited to lunch. I can't eat very much so that was just perfect! Our server Nicholas was also exceptional. We had a very good meal and enjoyable time. Today. My sister and I both ordered lasagna.“

“Great food and generous portions. Best baco i ever had“

“Fresh every time amazing quality and great customer service!“

“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!!“

“Disappointing. Have given this place a few tries, but last night was the last. Ordered a sausage pizza and there literally was 1 piece of sausage per slice on majority of the slices of pizza. Some slices actually had no sausage. Plus it was dry. Lifted up the cheese and there was barely any sauce. And, end pieces had no cheese. Took a pick when it was mostly gone....we were hungry so ate in anyways. We were very disappointed. A bad night maybe ? They weren't busy at all, no one inside. Really wanted to love this place, but....“

“Excellent food and good service“

“Don Walker's has been serving our family for four generations (now 5!). Most recent with a signature Italian Beef/Sausage Christmas Day feast. Ditch the chain and get back to this A-Town OG! Thank you Don Walker's!“

“The 5 stars must be family and friends, I’m done pure garbage Chicago Style pizza!“

“We have always been happy with Rosati’s in Sugar Grove. My son is a pizza-holic! :) He has very high standards for his pizza and his favorite is Rosati’s. I have always been treated with friendliness and respect at this location. There are a lot of pizza places to choose from in our area and a Rosati’s 9/10 gets our business. 5 stars“
