“Excelente atención! Todo delicioso 😋“

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

“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!“

“Limited menu done right. Portions are small but prepared with care. Always consistent. Shy away from the calamari friti. I’ve had it a few times and hoped it would get better . Barely any shrimp the “ piece. Contained are small and few as is the actual squid. Loaded with veggies instead. Not a value or good choice! The twin medallions of beef are delicious but not substantial. The white fish is the best dish on the mine!“

“Every time we come here is a great experience. The food is amazing, service is friendly, and the atmosphere is great for a date night or a night out with friends. The owner always makes it a point to come out and greet all the customers, truly just a warm and inviting experience. The food is homemade and fresh, and it does not taste or feel like so many corporate chain restaurants. I recently had the Panini Con Salccicia sandwich and it was to die for! Please keep this one on your menu forever! I find myself craving it. We will be back again, soon!“

“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!“

“Rosario’s is one of those local spots that just never disappoints. We started with the arancini, which were so good; crispy, flavorful, and honestly, I just wish there had been more of them.

For drinks, I had a glass of wine while my partner ordered the smoked Manhattan, which was such a fun experience with the smoker presentation. It tasted very similar to an Old Fashioned, but still really enjoyable.

For dinner, I ordered the mostaccioli with arrabbiata sauce (and I love that they actually call it mostaccioli instead of penne). The sauce had a great kick to it and was packed with flavor; definitely a standout. My partner got the chicken piccata, which was also really well done.

We also couldn’t leave without ordering a small Chicago stuffed sausage pizza. We’ve been here before just for this, and it’s consistently incredible. As people who have literally done a Chicago pizza tour twice, we both agree this pizza holds its own against some of the most well-known spots. The cheese is rich, the sauce has a nice spice, and everything just works.

On top of all that, the staff is always friendly and welcoming. We absolutely love having a place like this in the neighborhood.“

“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“

“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“

“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!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Main dish was good. Salad dressing needed some oil as the consistency just dripped as if no oil was added. The dressing puddled on the bottom of the bowl and did not dress the salad. The iced tea tasted like it was made from concentrate. This may seem a little nit picking but at their price point I feel the critique is reasonable.“

“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.“

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

“Food was delicious! Our server was amazing - always made sure our drinks were full and checked in to make sure everything was going well. It is an old church so the atmosphere is beautiful and feels like you are in Italy!

Price and portion sizes are very good - will definitely be coming back!“

“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!“

“Food and service are very good. Atmosphere is basic. Restaurant is in an old building and not fancy or trendy. Good for families. Go for the pizza. There is a lot of parking but still hard to find a spot as this location is very busy. Need to make reservations on the weekend if you want to eat in.“

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

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