“Excelente atención! Todo delicioso 😋“

“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!“

“Wonderful service and food! Eric, the manager, is excellent checking in with diners and ensuring they have everything they need.“

“The food and service is great. My son and I went for lunch and the waiter was very attentive. We ordered the French onion soup, shrimp/ calamari, the petite filet and the crab cakes. Everything was wonderful. Full of flavor and fresh.“

“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.“

“We tried the meatball & sausage sandwich. It was huge & delicious! The meatballs tasted just like mine! Staff/ owner really nice!“

“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!“

“Had the best server tonight! Great service and personality. Thanks so much Paige!“

“Excellent food, was here for the first time. Had to taste everything: Italian sub, Sicilian pizza, cream of celery soup, and chopped salad. Everything was excellent. Can’t wait to go back and try more. The Sicilian pizza had a light crust and delicious sauce with sausage and roasted peppers, Yum! Very clean and friendly staff too.“

“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!“

“Dined with Pietanza's several times and each time we're more impressed. Quickly becoming my favorite restaurant.“

“Great meal white fish and Italian sausage the best ever , service also great“

“Excellent food and service. Will definitely be back. Great happy hour options as well.“

“We catered for a party this past weekend and were amazed with the quality and value! The food was delicious and probably one of the best perks was that the Italian beef was given to us hot instead of in cold packs like some of the bigger chains do. We’ve always loved Tre Amici’s pizza, but had no idea their catering was so good! Highly recommend to anyone looking to cater a party!“

“My husband and I owned a mobile Hot Dog Stand I ran it in Northwest Indiana. I sold Bari Beef Sandwiches. I was famous for my Beef sandwiches . I have and will always swear by Bari Beef!!!! We have moved all over the country the last 9 years and just moved to Bartlett Illinois. I just found out I live only 9.8 miles from Bari factory store …… I think I have died and gone to Heaven!!! On a side note. I had a deal for all new customers who questioned whether I had the best beef sandwiches. I told them “You buy my Beef sandwich and if you do t think it’s the best you have ever had I will give you your money back!” I have NEVER had to give anyone their money back!!! You are the best!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Had a wonderful, leisurely dinner for four. Food and service were impeccable.“

“I just had a "Picante" sub sandwich. Wow, what a delicious meal! Bring your appetite, because your taste buds arent going to want to stop.“

“Incredible food, amazing service“

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

“Villaggio Ristorante Dear Beto, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible experience my family and I had at Villaggio Ristorante for my daughter's wedding shower on May 18, 2025. From start to finish, every detail was handled with such care and professionalism. Your dedication to excellence shines through in every aspect of your restaurant. The service was impeccable—your staff was attentive, kind, and ensured that every guest felt welcomed and comfortable. And the food—absolutely exquisite! Every dish was prepared to perfection and left a lasting impression on everyone who attended. You truly go above and beyond for your guests, and it does not go unnoticed. This special day was made even more memorable because of the warmth and hospitality you and your team provided. Thank you again for everything. I will happily recommend Villaggio Ristorante to all my family and friends, knowing they will receive nothing but the best. Warm regards, Julie Loverdi“

“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.“

“good pizza 🍕 try it out sometime“

“Went to this restaurant for a 20 person birthday party. We live far away but may make drive just to eat here. The pizza is outstanding! Real Chicago bar style pizza, best I've had in a while. For kids, the chicken tenders are home made, perfectly cook and delicious. Same with mozzarella sticks. Beautiful room and attentive service. Great experience. A manager and one of the owners checked kn our table. Quintessential restauranters!“

“Fantastic food, awesome people and highly recommend if you enjoy delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere.“

“hot oven grinders with extra hot peppers tomatoes &pickles one to eat there one to take home“

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

“Had ordered two entrees, one of them was vegan for pickup. Without me even asking, the manager gentleman told me that they purposely prepared it outside of the other foods. Not only do they cook delicious veggie friendly meals, they also go the extra. Simply excellent.“

“went for my step-mom’s birthday and had an excellent time! Cody was our server and he was very on top of it all, no good lagged coming out or was incorrect at all and we all had delicious meals. Cody was very attentive and social, overall a great server! Loved everything about this visit. My step-mom got a free dessert for her birthday and was even sang to by the staff! Will definitely be coming back!!!!“

“Great pizza right here, used to love Little Caesar’s now I changed to Pizza Now because the pizza is way better“

“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.“

“Great food, fast service and great restaurant to enjoy lunch especially with my big brother. Stop for lunch at Buona Beef tell them Shirley sent you to enjoy their menu.“

“Food was good and because they forgot my shake homie hooked it up with a large, the review if you you my booii“

“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.“

“Got catering for a recent party and can’t say enough good things. Initial communication from Erin was excellent, pickup time was spot-on (they were finishing everything up as I walked in), Erin packaged everything up really well and helped bring it out to the car, and the food… it was a total knock-out (we ordered Chicken Francese, Cavatelli, Eggplant Parmesan, House salad, and Sausage & Peppers). Every single person raved about how good it was. People were coming up for seconds, thirds, and almost everything was completely wiped out (and I always way over order so food never runs out). This is actually the second time we ordered catering and had excellent results both times, so I just needed to give credit where credit was very due. Thanks for making our party a hit and the experience as seamless and stress free as possible.“

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

“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.“

“Great atmosphere…pizza was fantastic…They have outdoor dining which is always a plus.“

“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.“

“Delicious pizza, loved the thin crust! Meatballs are so delish!! I will go back again and again! Highly recommended.“

“We love going for the entertainment, including Adam behind the bar lol“

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

“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.“

“Our family’s favorite pizza in Barrington. Always great food!“

“Our waiter, David, provided excellent service! He was friendly, attentive, and made great menu recommendations. Everything arrived quickly and perfectly prepared. Thanks to David, our dining experience was truly enjoyable — we’ll definitely ask for him next time!“

“Rebecca was our set. She made great recommendations and very personable. We had the Malnati salad which was better than the description. We had the Lou pizza along with a sausage deep dish. Not as deep as I remembered but both were very delicious.“

“You can bring dog. Fast and good service.“
