“great food and great atmosphere. the serve is hit or miss. mostly get great servers, but this one female server we had last night on May 4th, 2024, she was ride and short (as in didn't want to be social.. cold attitude. didn't even say Happy Birthday to my parents when we told the server we are here to celebrate their birthdays. the female server was such a k.u.n.t and had the audacity to say, "OKAY." really?? just an.. okay??! bad attitude. THANK GOD she had to leave early and another waiter took her place! he was so pleasant and we actually had him a year ago! it was nice. so pleasant and gave my oarents a special dessert and candle. if we were stuck with that female waitress, she'd probably purposely do something awful, th way her personality was.“

If I'm ever back in Schaumburg I'm getting another pizza for sure!!! Only issue is I can't get your pizza in northern Michigan. 🤣 5/5 one of the best pizzas I've ever gotten , especially a take out pizza! So dang good!“

“We decided to try out Tre Amici for our daughter’s birthday party catering. We could not be more pleased with their catering package and the price was so reasonable to feed a large group. The sausage and beef combo, pasta, salad, and pizza package we put together was excellent. All the food was well prepared and our guests were complimenting everything the whole party. We would definitely use them again for our future catering needs.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“Great food and atmosphere, love this place, it’s a regular for us“

“Amazing!! Best food and service in town!!!“

“The food was amazing!! I need to go back and try more of their menu.“

“This wood-fired pizza restaurant in the northwest suburbs of Chicago is a hidden gem! The food is prepared impressively fast and served piping hot, ensuring you enjoy every bite fresh from the oven.

We tried the Margherita pizza and the Carne pizza, and both were absolutely fantastic. The crust had that perfect wood-fired char, and the toppings were fresh and flavorful. We also ordered a side of extra pizza sauce, which added an extra layer of deliciousness—if you’re a fan of saucy pizza, don’t forget to ask for it!

The breaded onion rings were another highlight of our meal. Crispy, golden, and seasoned just right, they were the perfect complement to the pizzas.

With its quick service, great flavors, and cozy ambiance, this is a place we’ll definitely visit again. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for top-notch pizza in the area!“

“The Scallop Risotto was unbelievable!!! The wine (Chianti Raffino Tan Label perfect with the Scallops)!!! Service and atmosphere pleasant and friendly! The banana cream pie was disappointing.“

“Delicious food at competitive prices. If you use a credit card, there is an upcharge to cover the discount rate charged by the credit card company. Also, there was a Roselle fee included on the bill? Saw a great show by thr Jersey Girls trio.“

“The kindest and most attentive staff food is great !!! Your manger Patrick one of the best !! Thank you for making todays baby shower,, PERFECT 💕“

“Wow, I have to admit I was completely wrong about Olive Garden! When my sister suggested going, I laughed, thinking it would mean mediocre food, bad service, and unimpressive drinks. But this location totally proved me wrong. Our waitress was absolutely amazing—seriously one of the nicest people I’ve ever met (wish I remembered her name!). The food was delicious, and the drinks were fun and creative. Way to go, Olive Garden—you’ve changed my mind!“

“Awesome pizza is all I can say cause I'm stuffed. Gave it a try and was very glad we did. We got the thin crust and everything from the crust to the sauce and the cheese are very good. If you haven't tried it yet, go for it, I don't think you'll be disappointed!“

“This restaurant is my favorite go to when i visit Chicago. I live in Yorktown Virginia but i was born and raised in the west side of Chicago. For the past 5 years i have been going to Rocco Vinos because the food is great , the service was wonderful, and the price was good. As A result , I have been able to transport many pizzas back to Virginia. I will be clear , Virginia is not known for their pizza. Tino Mola , the manager , has helped me by preparing pizzas for me to be able to transport by car back to Virginia. My friends are overwhelmed by these great pizzas I bring back. They always want to know when I'm coming back and ask me to get them more. We have an Uno's pizza here but that's not a good representation of Chicago food. I will drive to Chicago before going to Uno's. And when I do , I'm going to see my friends at Rocco Vino's.“

“Great Food and service! Yummy wine and great Old Fashioned!“

“They fit us in on New Year’s Eve and made us feel at home. The food was excellent. Kids and adults loved the food. Great, friendly service and a warm atmosphere. Thank you for making a memorable night and saving our New Years Eve!!“

“As usual, great pizza! Some people, many that I know, say it's better than Giordanos. The crust is thicker and crunchier and the amount of sausage and pepperoni is simply more than Giordanos, but they are both great pizzas! This Schaumburg location is very ample and clean, although a bit outdated in it's decor.“

“It is hard to find restaurants as good as this one. The food is excellent, the atmosphere is laid back and relaxing and to boot, the service is very personable and they are glad to serve you. Thanks to Nick and Steve for a memorable experience!“

“. Good Food The Italian sub was delicios Good Food The Italian sub was delic They are too expen though“

“Yesterday, my wife and I decided to order a pizza for dinner since it was so hot. I don’t eat pizza and I have a strict diet for training. Yesterday was an exception. All BS aside, this was one of the best pizzas I have ever had in my life. Loaded with toppings, the crust was cooked to perfection, exactly the way I like it with a little extra crisp on the side. And as always, the staff there is always very very friendly.“

“Outstanding Service. Antonio and his staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome Antonio’s choice of wine is exceptional Even though he uses my recipes I thoroughly enjoy his style. �“

“As long time patrons of Cucina Bella, we had high expectations for my daughter’s bridal shower, which were far surpassed. We had 56 guests; the restaurant was closed so we used the entire dining room and bar area. The exposed brick-walled room has such character and warmth; we added only a few table centerpieces and candles. The delicious food was served family style and each table had plenty (we took leftovers home)! It was high quality, very fresh, and all dishes were served at the correct temperatures.
Our menu included bruschetta, grilled calamari, house salad, penne marinara, gnocchi with vodka sauce, chicken Francese and tiramisu. This penne marinara is a flavorful departure from a typical mostaccioli dish. My daughter’s favorite is the gnocchi with vodka - the gnocchi were pillow soft and the sauce perfectly robust. The tasty chicken was tender and savory. Can’t tell you how many guests said they literally wanted to “drink all of the sauces”! They raved about the scrumptious food, mimosa bar, bloody Marys, ambience and service - and they are still talking about it!
Kim and Lindsey were amazing and did not miss a beat in providing top notch service for the large group. I have no idea how they did it all and did it so well - all in good cheer! Erin is a terrific event coordinator, very responsive, thorough and professional, offering suggestions and lots of patience! High praise to the kitchen staff as well. All helped to create a most memorable experience for us. Thank you!“

“We had triple cheese Asiago stuffed crust pizza tonight! It was literally one of the best pizzas we’ve had. Sooo fresh and piping hot! We will definitely be back. Alan V was a great server too!“

“Held an event for nearly 300 there and couldn't be happier. Staff was great to work with and food was great. Every comment received from those attending the event was positive! Looking to hosting our event there again in 2025“

“delicious sandwiches and I wouldn't consider anybody else for my catering needs.“

“Ate there last night. The food was incredible and the service was outstanding. I’m pretty picky about vodka pasta and this one was the best I’ve ever had. The restaurant has such a fun modern 1920s vibe. They also have a kids menu so it’s great for date night or a family outing.“

“Food is great. Cheesy beef � Boneless chicken wings pizza has a great taste“

“The food is delicious, and this is my first time trying Italian cuisine. I had a wonderful experience. The flavors were delightful, the service was remarkably quick, and the ambiance was pleasant. 🍝🍕🍷

Kid-friendliness: Yes, It is kids friendly.“
