As happy multiple visit repeat customers, we can’t say enough about the outstanding food, warm atmosphere, and the incredible people who make every visit so special. Tina and her husband, Chef Phil Gilardi, pour their hearts into every detail, from the creative and delicious dishes to the welcoming hospitality that makes you feel right at home. Dining here is always more than a meal—it’s a memorable experience filled with flavor, comfort, and joy. We can’t wait to return again and again, and we recommend Tina G’s to anyone who loves great food and genuine warmth!“

“After a couple of years away following an uneven prior experience, a recent return to Bottaio with friends proved both reassuring and mildly frustrating. The dining room remains one of the restaurant’s strongest assets: warm, attractive, and inviting in a way that signals classic Italian comfort. Unfortunately, that promise is undercut by one persistent flaw—seating that is simply uncomfortable. After fifteen minutes, the chairs distract from the experience, an avoidable misstep in a restaurant that otherwise understands ambiance. Service, by contrast, was a highlight. Our server struck an engaging balance between edgy and personable, and—most importantly—demonstrated genuine knowledge of the menu and wine list. Wine selections, guided by their recommendations, were uniformly well received by the table, showing thoughtful pairing and sound judgment. The meal began on a high note with excellent crusty bread, a simple but well-executed opening gesture that set expectations optimistically. The entrées, however, struggled to rise beyond adequacy. While none were poor, they failed to deliver the refinement or depth one hopes for. The veal parmigiana arrived in an impressively large portion but was overly breaded, sacrificing balance and nuance. In contrast, the risotto stood out as the best dish of the evening—properly executed, flavorful, and satisfying. Other diners echoed a similar sentiment: the food was good, but never quite great. This mirrors past experiences and suggests a recurring issue rather than an off night. Bottaio remains a solid option for casual Italian dining, particularly for those who value ambiance, wine, and congenial service. With greater attention to detail in the kitchen—and a renewed focus on authenticity and precision—the restaurant has the potential to elevate its culinary standing meaningfully. One hopes that future visits will see that promise more fully realized.“

“Excellent food and customer service!“

“I went to The Wicked Egg with my daughter and it was a great experience. Everyone who works there is so friendly, the food was prepared quickly and tasted good. I definitely recommend The Wicked Egg!“

“Delicious food !! Great service.“

“😀Great food, however, the “build your own burger“was a disappointment. The onions tasted bitter and very salty. I got the worst case of heartburn from this burger! OMG. Otherwise, everything else is top quality! Be careful when ordering this “build your own burger.”🍔 I’ve never tasted onions so bad, and seem to be imbedded into the meat that tasted so bitter and awful salty. Too bad because in my opinion, all other dishes are superb! Susan Lee Dzialo“

“First of all, Simon’s a great host who also loves to make software. We’re here all the time, and our team loves coming to Open Mic to work, be creative, and meet with clients. It’s a comfortable, welcoming space that naturally sparks good conversations and cool ideas—some of our best ideas have come out of brainstorming sessions in this spot. Sometimes we’re heads-down getting work done, sometimes sketching things out, sometimes picking up a guitar or playing a little piano between sprints. Great coffee and tea, a relaxed creative vibe, and always something interesting going on. It’s one of our favorite spots in Lake County, Illinois.“

“Yummy froyo with yummy toppings 😘“

“Awesome place to eat and drink. Outside tables on the sand overlooking the water. Great service by Kylie.“

“We’ve visited many times and every time is a good experience. We love to go and let our daughter pick out a cookie as they have many fun characters to choose from. Today they offered free any size drinks for Mom’s on Mother’s Day. How wonderful, what a treat! Thank you 🩷“

“disappointed in their lack of willingness to stand by their supposed convictions of supplying many forms of entertainment, then buckling under closed minded social pressure.“

“Got the meatball sub from there an it was delicious!!!! Owner was kind enough to offer us samples of deli sandwiches and sidewinder fries due to an event which we’re also spectacular!!! Will definitely be back!“

“Lived in Mundelein for22 years. I have since moved to Texas. I visit many microbreweries along my travels. It’s always a treat to come home and see my hometown brewery thriving. What a wonderful establishment with great craft beer. Keep up the great work. Cheers“

“I have been to your restaurant three times first time had steak tacos ,second time ribeye burrito, tonight tampiquena dinner all three were delicious!!!! Don't change anything. You really have it going on!!!!!“

“Wonderful wines with a personal touch! We really enjoyed the tasting - the wines are out of this world, there's something for everyone. Everyone we met while tasting at GFWC was incredibly kind (we love a family business!). We will absolutely be back & will continue to tell others to go as well!“

“Love this place! I’m from Wisconsin but life close to the Illinois boarder. I came across this gem while driving by. We stopped and order food- and then went back up to the window to order a few more times. The staff were very sweet and time efficient. Their creamsicle soft serve cone is to die for! We’ll be back!“

“Love this place! Great coffee ☕️“

“Very Good Dinner tonight. We had Brisket dinner over mashed, dark chicken thighs with mashed and garlic shrimp over pasta. All meals were quite good. Ample portions. Only fault today, Food came out too fast... salad was 2 minutes behind our appetizer, and main course was out before we were done with our salads. We will be back.“

“The lengua tacos were delicious and the tamales were loaded with shredded pork. I’ll be back again soon.“

“I wish I got some photos because of how lovely everything was! Best wonton soup in the area hands down, and always pleasant service! We used to come here often enough that the lovely waitress would recognize my boyfriend and ask if he wanted their (fabulous) Thai beer. Wonton soup is garnished with cilantro, green onions, and DELICIOUS fried garlic, had to order some to go! Fresh sushi that is rolled very well with beautiful presentation, delicious drunken noodles, perfect miso soup, and very fresh house salad with crisp red onions (I've never had such a nice house salad like this before, honestly!) Great portions and everything always the perfect temperature!“

“Food is always good as usual“

“We’ve visited many times and every time is a good experience. We love to go and let our daughter pick out a cookie as they have many fun characters to choose from. Today they offered free any size drinks for Mom’s on Mother’s Day. How wonderful, what a treat! Thank you 🩷“
