50 Best Italian Restaurants near Palos Hills

“Renee is my favorite bartender.“

“Travis was our server. He did an excellent job thoroughly explaining to our first time guest, Frankie's restaurant history. He explained the menu, family recipes, and homemade pasta. Service was great, he gave us time to catch up with our guests.“

“Fabulous food and service! Bill the bartender is the best, and the owner could not be any nicer or more accommodating. ❤️“

“Been wanting to try this place and it did not disappoint. Service was great and waiting time isn’t long, I would definitely recommend the Italian beef combo, and the Mexican grilled chicken sandwich if you’re looking for something more spicy. Overall fantastic experience and I highly recommend coming to Tony’s.“

“AMAZING!!!

Decided on a vacation week! Chose Berwyn due to its proximity to Chicago. Glad we did!

What a great community!

We stopped in around 5pm. Nice greeting! Quickly seated.

We started with the Bruschetta. Instantly knew we were in the right place! Grilled bread! Not to hard not to soft. Fresh ingredients, great flavor.

I chose the lamb chops. Holy Smokes! Best I’ve ever had and that’s saying something!! I don’t know how they did it!!?? Grilled! Breaded! Crunchy! Tender! Perfectly cooked. Broccoli perfectly! Served with potatoes that were a little crispy with big flavor!

My wife had the Crab Cake. It was huge! Loaded with crab and perfectly seasoned and fried. The sauce paired perfectly with this dish. She also had penne pasta in their Marsala sauce. Again, everything was fresh and amazing.

Ended it all with 2 desserts because why not!
Tiramisu….Amazing
Crème Brûlée…Amazing

We ate all over Chicago, this was our #1 favorite!

Thanks for a great meal! I’ll be dreaming about those chops!! 🤤🤤😃“

“Was perfect. Great wine great food. Great service. Will be back. Thank u.“

“5 stars for HECTOR in Western Springs!!! Hands down this was the absolute best dining experience I’ve ever had! While the food was delicious and the overall ambiance and decor of the restaurant was cozy, it was our server that made this dining experience over the top, great! HECTOR, you are a gem, a diamond! You have an absolutely charming personality and made my mother in law’s birthday dinner an experience to remember! From your spot on suggestions, to your lovely rendition of “Happy Birthday”, to the funny banter, our whole family left talking about how wonderful you were! We will be back and we will be sure to come when you are serving! Thank you Hector!!!“

“Our Women of Impact group had a celebration dinner Thursday evening February 2nd. ✝️ We were treated like royalty. 👑 Delicious yummy food and the service was outstanding! 😋 Thank you Kristen and Tacho for your excellent service and helping us to celebrate! 🎉 We will definitely be back soon!💕“

“My first time dining experience was amazing 👏🏾 Our server Madeline was super sweet and so attentive to our party of 5. It was my first time but not my last time.“

“Had Rocco's special, grilled sausage with Melrose peppers and a chilled salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and olives. Oh so good.“

“Been here a handful of times ..
The pizza is th Star !!
Last few times the food was not as on par with the first 3-4 times.
Staff was slow and food was slow.
The first few times i went was when they first opened.
Seems service went down a bit!“

“I have loved this place my whole life! Best pizza on the south side!“

“Fast and friendly delivery. Amazing flavor in the pizza!“

“Pyszne jedzenie, miła obsługa bardzo pozytywna atmosfera. każdemu z czystym sercem polecę. owoce morza pychota. Bywam prywatnie i z grupami i każdy wraca zadowolony“

“Love this place. Great flavorful food, great wait staff. Our “goto” place for great comfort food.“

“My husband made reservations at capri a great surprise. I love seafood and pasta. Great place to celebrate a special occasion.“

“First time visiting and I can honestly say this place is my new spot! Great thin crust pizza sauce is perfect sausage was tasty crust had the crunch I look for! They beat Vito and nicks any day! Highly highly recommended! Thank you Robbie for a good pizza!“

“We go often but I must comment on how the hostess greets us every time we come in no matter how long it's been between visits. She is so happy to see us. She's such a joy. Then, of course, we get our favorite waitress, Tina, who is always smiling. And then there's the extra large piece of lasagna and chicken Caesar salad and don't get me started on the warm bread. I just wish we were younger when we used to be able to eat appetizers and desserts in addition to our meals instead of taking half our meal home :(“

“Never disappoints, Marsha and the team are a well oiled machine! We spent another anniversary with them (we live a few blocks away and dine and take out often, but still our go to for special occasions) This time, we were treated to a full dessert of Cannoli Dip to celebrate! We'll done my friends! I'll post a photo of our dessert. Last time I did that, I have received over 80K views of the tiramisu!“

“This restaurant makes you feel at home. The owner and staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food is also delicious and made with love! My favorite place to go after watching the Chicago Fire!“

“This is a hidden gem.

The Italian sub was very delicious along with the meatball sub.

If you haven't been to Jullianni's Puzza, you are missing out.

Staff is very friendly.“

“One of my favorites in the west suburbs of Chicago.“

“Great food and great service thank you Austin for your attentive service“

“oh my goodness I found this pizza by chance at my local Meijer. Hands down best frozen pizza or any take and bake. The sausage was delightful and the Cheese was The Cheesiest ever it actually did the cheese stretch. Great Job it doesn't deserve the Bottom shelf“

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

“Chesdan’s is a long-time pizza and pasta spot in Homer Glen. It’s on the small side but don’t let its small size fool you, they serve absolutely top quality delectable dishes! Our favorite is the Jimmy’s Rigatoni. A must try!!! Get the full size dish to share with your love or to take some home. The serving staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is what you’d expect from a small Italian style eatery. A visit will not disappoint and I think you’ll return again and again. A+“

“Their pizza is delicious. My family loves pizza. We have tried many is the surrounding area and nothing compares to Guardi's. It has become a staple for take out in my house. Their service is great (I have never arrived and had to wait for my order) and the employees have always been extremely friendly and sufficient. It's worth giving them a try.“

“Everything was delicious and the service was outstanding.“

“Our first visit very delishes food reminds me of the friends who lived in the Italian neighborhood here in Chicago. Thank you all! Ed & Peg“

“The restaurant is very accommodating. I wanted something for lunch that wasn't on the menu. The chef prepared it for me. There's options for gluten free and vegetarian diets. On the down side. I am very sensitive to smells. We came in shortly after they opened. There was a chemical or cleaning smell which I found unpleasant. Also, the music was really too loud for our group of seniors. Still a 4.5 star experience.“

“We love your pizzeria and bar! Colleen was an amazing server! The food is delicious!“

“Came here last night (2-23-25) a couple hours before close. We had a group of about 10 of us. The food quality is whats expected when you go to Olive Garden. Im writing this review specifically to speak on how great the service was. I believe our waiters name was Nick M (at least according to the receipt) and he was fantastic - especially for us being a big-ish group coming in a bit late in the night. Nick was attentive, courteous, funny, and kind. He checked up on us and didn't forget a single item for anyone or make a single mistake! He was also overall very kind, which our table needed as we have been going through a rough time. Thank you, Nick, for your great service and spreading your kindness to some folks that really needed it 1000/10! You're a rockstar!“

“I had ordered the sausage & Italian beef slices with fries and I had a great conversation with the man up front while I waited. I was satisfied with the slices I received and the fresh fries that were made from me. Overall great experience?.“

“A delivery app made a mistake with my order. LaBarra took charge and the general manager personally delivered 2 delicious pizzas to make up for the outside apps mistake. Above and beyond! Thank you!“

“Good pizza good price and nice people! What more could you ask for? 👍🏼“

“Everything there runs better when MARY is working. She is friendly, efficient and seems to be able to multitask better than most employees at the Oak Lawn location. She’s the best !“

“Ordered DoorDash...pick up. Pops sends text, order ready..
Yet my husband was in there for 7 minutes. Soups are not listed on online menu. Aka..DD.onion rings..mediocre...no crackers with soup and chili. Beef great..pepper sandwich..good. needs garlic..olive oil..burn then a tad.“

“Amazing food! Had the Buffalo chicken pizza and it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend 💯“

“Since we moved to the area in 2017 this has been our go to spot for my wife and two daughters, last night again did not disappoint - the food , service is on point every time! It’s nice to have a place to go to and wind down after a long week!“

“Posto 31 is arguably the best restaurant and ambiance in the La Grange/La Grange park area. The food is consistently high quality at a fair price point. Portion sizes are great and the drinks are delicious.“

“Asked for a slice of sausage pizza, one small order of fries, and grape crush soda. Paid and took to the restroom to wash my hands. Came out with two slices of pizza and two cans of grape soda. I was confused. Asked the register lady if she charged me for two and she said no they cut the slice in half and it comes with an extra can of pop. Was charged $14 bucks. Not what I ordered. Pizza and fries are fire tho. AC was on point.“

“Very fresh ingredients, made to order, piping hot, great taste.“

“Everything was perfect. Friday night date with my wife. She is Italian. First place we have ever dined at that reminded her of home. I ordered chicken Parm. She had shrimp special. Conolia to take home. So much food. Amazing atmosphere including top notch service. I promise to take her back to have ravioli and meatballs.“

“My sister Shelly Nagy purchased tickets to a Sunday afternoon drag brunch to celebrate my birthday! Marco not only held the door open for his guests, but he was also very kind and generous! He offered 2nd helpings (my only regret is that I did not indulge on that offer). Our meal was plentiful, delicious and presented beautifully! The bartenders cocktails (garnished w/ fresh flowers!) are pure elegance and his customer service skills are excellent! The drag show was a blast! The music was a hit (inside and out) and the upscale atmosphere will always have me anxiously waiting to come back soon! Thank you Marcos & Shelly for the most wonderful birthday celebration anyone will ever dream of! Gorgeous Downtown LaGrange is lucky to have Marco’s Kitchen! Take me back already!“

“It was a delightful experience to plan my wife’s 65th birthday dinner with Esmeralda’s assistance! Your party room was the perfect size. All of our guests were raving about the delicious food and incredible service! THANKS!“

“I absolutely love this Olive Garden location! The highlight of my visit was our amazing waitress – she was outstanding. Even though the restaurant was busy, she took such great care of us, made sure we had everything we needed, and even brought a kids’ menu for my child with so much patience. She truly made our dining experience special and enjoyable.

After the meal, she surprised us with delicious green mint chocolates, which my child loved so much that they asked to come back again next time. I’m certain this will become one of my favorite restaurants. The only downside is that it’s a 30-minute drive from my home, but it’s totally worth it. The food is delicious and affordable, the atmosphere is warm and comfortable, and every visit leaves me in a great mood. Highly recommend!“
