Tried Di Pescara for the 1st time as part of Restaurant Week and was so glad we did. The meal was very good. The team did a great job managing a busy night. Very pleased all around. We will return and recommend.

Great menu options - even a 3 course Restaurant Week menu with set option of soup/salad, entree, and dessert for $45. Were sat near the door and assured it was warm, but wasn't due to door consistently opening/closing in subzero temps. Server was fairly attentive, but food pacing was WAY TOO FAST! Not even finished with salad and entrees delivered. This is a server/kitchen communication issue - felt VERY rushed. Ate early (5:30) and LOTS of kids/strollers/babies. Chicken parm, braised short rib were delicious options! Also appreciated a few different mocktails to choose from. Desserts from Restaurant Week menu seemed smaller in portion size compared to ordering independently as we had in previous visits. Overall, a nice meal, but some rough edges to work out. Also, this is a LETTUCE restaurant - they are still charging the 3% unless you ask them to remove it. In our opinion, LETTUCE doesn't still need to ask for the 3% - ask for it to be removed from your bill and give the 3% extra to your server!

We went for the early Bird special. The salmon and green beans were perfect along with a delicious Caesar Salad. Service was very attentive. We will return soon. Thank you.

Another excellent meal at Di Pescara in Northbrook! Predictably delicious dinner with excellent service by Pedro!! Many thanks for a positive dining experience even though the restaurant was quite busy on a Friday evening during a holiday weekend. We were seated quickly, too, even though we were just a few minutes late arriving. For the first time we used the messaging option on the Open Table app to let the restaurant know in advance, and they appreciated it.

The branzino wasn't as good as two weeks ago. Hardly any seasoning or flavor. The green goddess dressing had a sour taste to it. We were somewhat disappointed because Di Pescara is normally very dependable.

Definitely try the grilled calamari, you won't be sorry. Turkey and wild rice soup (which was among the specials) tasted perfect. Our server was great, as well.

Another great experience in the wonderful atmosphere of the bar. We got seated in a nice booth with perfect views of TV's to watch football game. Loved the music playing while we enjoyed delicious Scallops with mushroom risotto and perfectly cooked Filet! We have found our comfortable, reliable , neighborhood spot!

Met 2 friends & we loved it!! Food was great & our Server was exceptional!! All the Staff was warm, friendly, & welcoming. Parking is free & easy. My friends were from Northbrook; I ...Chicago. It was totally worth the trip. Thinking of making this our primary meeting spot!!

Loved the supper club menu. $29.99 for a glass of wine, salad, entree and dessert. All yummy! Great service and great food!

Nice place been there a few times. Had the lobster bisque soup and chopped salad. Wasn't a big fan of the salad, soup was good. In the past, had the pasta, was very good.
Very good food. safe for my partner who has celiac disease. They have a separate gluten free menu. Their gluten free bread is really good.

This was a wonderful restaurant. I have celiac disease and they had a separate gluten free menu for me and I everything. We got a lemony chicken and a roasted branzino (forgive me for fogetting the proper names) and both were delicious! The sauce on the chicken was light but rich, and the branzino was cooked to perfection. Both paired well with the spinach, although the juice from the spinach did dilute the sauce for the chicken. They also gave us a couple gluten free buns that were among the most delicate and delicious pieces of bread Ive had. 10/10 I would recommend this place to anyone, celiac or not.

We enjoyed a nice lunch on a Saturday at Di Pescara. Love this place! Pedro was an awesome server. I am gluten-free because of Celiac Disease and trust this place. I had a cup of the squash soup and the seafood salad. All very tasty. My husband is a dedicated fan of the chicken parm and penne ala vodka. Do not pass up on Homer's peppermint ice cream with chocolate sauce for dessert.
