“Great drinks, delicious food, fantastic service! Loved the ambiance and bar. Our server Luis was wonderful. He recommended both the lasagna and pollo Marsala - we were not disappointed! My Marsala paired perfectly with the Bonanza Caymus cab. Yum! We will be back.“

“last evening my husband and I joined four friends for an early dinner at Coppolillo's Italian Steakhouse. It turned out to be so much more then just dinner, to quote one of our dinner companions, Brian Romer, "We have enjoyed fine dining for many years but last night was a Kodak memory experience. Finally, we have a grrrreat restaurant close to home." From the moment we approached the front entrance, we were greeted by a nicely uniformed young man who welcomed us as he opened the door, then we were escorted to our table where we were introduced to the concept of a service team. service being the key word. As those attending to our needs moved in and out, sometimes barely noticed, but extra warm bread or more olive oil would suddenly appear on the table, water glass refilled by slight of hand. "Would we like a drink before dinner?" I was undecided on the choice of wine, he helped pair perfectly with what I was going to have for dinner. The dinner, I can only speak of the chicken Vesuvio. Seriously, and I had to share this with Steve while we were there, pretty much perfect, one change I must admit, I would prefer my potatoes served not floating in the sauce, I like them crispy. and the SERVING SIZE! I was served an entire spatchcocked chicken plus potatoes. No, I did not clear my plate, those magicians who saw to our every need took our plates, swept any crumbs from the cloth, packaged our delicious remains then knew we would be enjoying at home tonight, then someone suggested, dare I say, DESSERT? How can I describe the desserts? The six of us shared three, each came accompanied by a scoop of a different ice cream or gelato. Butter cake, cannoli and tiramisu, each one better than the other. During dinner both the manager and Steve, the owner stopped by the table and we made sure to send our thanks and good impressions to the chef. OH, everyone at our table was equally as impressed with their choice of dinner as I. If. when you go be prepared, you are not just going to dinner, you are going to enjoy an event if you allow yourself to, we spent close to three hours savoring the experience and look forward to a repeat in the not too distant future.“

“We live 2.5 hours south of Lake Villa, but we were meeting some friends from Florida for dinner. They were in the area for their grandson’s graduation from Great Lakes Naval Academy. Found this place via Google and it had great reviews, with good reason. We wish we lived closer because it would be a favorite for sure. Probably the best bruschetta and lasagna I’ve had in a very long time. Everyone loved their entrees. We tried multiple pasta dishes and the pizza. Prices were very reasonable and our service was exceptional. Excellent dining experience all around. Highly recommend.“

“Great food, fair prices, friendly staff.“

“Our first time to Primo was a special occasion as it was not only our anniversary but also our daughter was in town to visit and celebrate. Ryan V was our server and was fantastic - personable, knowledgeable and attentive! The menu is large, but don’t let that intimidate you! Ryan walked us through the app and entrees and we had everything from steak, to fish and pasta! ALL were delicious!! We will be back for sure, and highly recommend!“

“We love the food and dining at Oliveris’s but I have to tell you how wonderful the staff is. We have been having a pretty bad time lately. Our son had a stroke and may never walk again and my husband shattered his right hip. We had my husband’s birthday dinner at Oliveriis with some friends and my husband had a medical issue and Sal and the staff were so kind with helping me get him into the car. I do not think that any other Restaurant would have such amazing and helpful people working for them. Sal you are wonderful. Thank you again.“

“Y'all if you're looking for an authentic Italian dining experience, Zaza's Restaurant is an absolute hidden gem! 🍝 The portions are incredibly generous, and the flavors are out of this world. It's just a short 20-minute drive from our place, making it the perfect spot for a delicious meal. It's a local favorite, it’s only open on certain days, so plan accordingly! My boss is a huge fan of this place, and now I totally see why. Highly recommend! 🇮🇹 #HiddenGem #AuthenticItalian #ZazasRestaurant #FoodieFind Zaza's Steakhouse and Italian Eatery“

“I went to this place just today, the waiters were amazing, so kind and on top of stuff. The place is so big, and although they were busy, it was very sanitary. The food was amazing and had many options. The atmosphere overall was so great, everyone was so nice and it was decorated beautifully. Overall, I give this place a 10/10, definitely would recommend.“

“I’m so glad I found this place! great fresh food and good service. A great addition to the neighborhood.“

“The pizza and wings were amazing!! The sauce was perfect, crust was so nice and thin and toppings were chunky and plentiful. Definitely coming back!“

“Purchased a supreme pizza with Cheese, Sausage, Onions, Green Pepper and Mushrooms. The pizza tasted great, with one gotcha. The onions were a bit Chunky, making them still firm when biting. But everything else was great tasting.
Always a fan of this restaurant as its one of our go tonspots when ordering.“

“Nicko! Nicko did an amazing job! He was the only one waiting tables at a pretty busy time and did an amazing job taking care of everyone! Food was very good and came out quickly! The tiramisu was more or a tiramisu cake but was still delicious!“

“We were in town visiting our son and grands near the Naval Base and ordered pasta dinner today. The portions were generous and we had enough for leftovers. The grands, ages 5 and 3, were overly enthusiastic as well and I am quite sure everyone knows that is hard to accomplish. The fries were also seasoned nicely (hits with the whole fam). Everything arrived warm and was so tasty. It seemed like something you could get at any nice restaurant but it arrived at our doorstep. Kudos! Next time we are in town, we will stop in for a visit if this is the kind of food they serve everyday.“

“Delicious entrees, yummy sangrias and friendly staff!!!“

“We were so happy to find that Little Joey's was still here after we moved away from the area for 14yrs! We started getting pizza from Little Joey's when they first opened - our son Joey was 5 or 6 at the time, so it was perfect! Now, their pizza quality has remained very good! We love their Chicago style deep dish, simple pepperoni or sausage, or even getting a spinach and garlic pizza is nice. Most of the time we get a Greek salad to go along with the pizza. Our favorite local pizza place! (We just miss the delivery van with the phone on top when they first opened ☹️)....“

“Rosatis food and service are outstanding !!! The crew at Rosatis care about their customers so they always make sure the food they serve is something they can be proud of. If you haven't had the delicious food from Rosatis yet what are you waiting for you don't know what you're missing. My all time fav is their Monster Pizza?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Always a great meal! The pizzas are amazing and so are the salads. A must for everyone.“

“Really Great Food & Outstanding Service. We had a full room and the service was quick and very pleasant. Cheri was especially attentive to specific patron needs. Thanks! We recommend to anyone & everyone wanting to host a get-together or Meeting. THIS PLACE IS TERRIFIC.

Dietary restrictions: Menu to accommodate all and everyone. Great service too! Ask and you shall receive demeanor was really nice.

Parking: Close to expressway

Kid-friendliness: Very Family Friendly“

“My go-to place for thin-crust pizza in Libertyville. Consistently good... crispy crust, tasty sauce, perfect blend of cheese and just the right amount. Tried lots of others, and always end up going back to Rosati's. Don't be put off by the location in a mostly deserted and run down strip mall.“

“I grew up on antioch pizza. I moved away to west virginia. Well, every time I come into town, I have to stop and get a pizza, weather I eat it there or take it to go. It's now a tradition I keep up...love thier food. Love thier small town feel when I go inside. It brings nothing but hood feelings back to mind.“

“I've been to a number of sbarros. Today I tried this one at the oasis and it was the best. Excellent customer service and the food was super fresh and delicious. All my questions were answered. Ended up with the vegetarian spinach and cheese Stromboli with marinara that tasted like it was just made. I'll be back again when visiting this area!“

“I am a tour director in Chicago. My company booked Giordanos on Belmont for 2 bus loads of high school students at 6pm. We unexpectedly got there at 5pm! Luis and his team were able to seat and serve us in short order. Thank you Luis and team. Giordanos pizza is the best!“

“My first time eating here since the new management has taken over and I have only good things to say! The new decor inside is so much better and cleaner and the staff is very kind. I have ordered pizza from an few other Rosati’s and this location by far is my favorite, they made my pizza exactly how I asked. It was crispy, well done and pie cut. I will definitely be ordering from them again and recommending them to all my friends and family. Fantastic new owners!“

“I absolutely love the lasagna here but tonight it is especially good!!! Very cheesy and I added cheese to the garlic bread for this cheese-a-holic!!“

“I used to live in the Chicago area. I now live in Texas, and we can't get Lou Malnati's pizza. (So sad ?) We flew out of O'Hare after visiting my Dad in Wisconsin and stayed overnight in Vernon Hills. I was able to order pizza to bring in my carry-on back to Texas with me. It was just as good as I remember!
Dear Lou Malnati's, please open a location un Brownwood, TX. ♥️“

“I'm from out of town and my son wanted some pizza we stopped and ordered and man was both pizzas delicious and for the price if I didn't live so far I'd order at least once a week thank you guys it was amazing

Kid-friendliness: My son loved the cheese pizza“
