40 Best Italian Restaurants near Third Lake

“Easy to order over the phone.....very friendly voice !
Picked up my personal pan pizza.."Lou's" version with added sausage. OMG...DELICIOUS ...will return to this Grayslake location....easy to find. This was my first visit to this location.“

“This is a rustic woodsy atmosphere. Peanut shells are all over the floor. Probably not a great choice for those with peanut allergies. We order the wings they are meaty and flavorful without any sauce. We also had the Double Decker pizza. This is one of our favorites.“

“perfectly cooked steak- very creamy mac and cheese- sausage and peppers were perfection- service was top tier- Batman was was playing on the television behind the bar which was in perfect viewing from our table. Thanks for helping make a Daddy Daughter Day a huge success.“

“Stop in for the canolli and stay for the food.“

“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.“

“Tina G’s in Mundelein is truly a gem! 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!“

“Growing up in Italy, I learned to appreciate food that feels both authentic and full of heart, and Olivia’s Italian Restaurant gives me just that. I often come here for their homemade pasta and classic chicken parmigiana, dishes that bring me right back to family dinners in Turin. The warm, welcoming atmosphere makes it feel less like dining out and more like being embraced by true Italian hospitality“

“Great experience, staff is always friendly and cleaning. The owner is very nice and was very personable being able to talk about our families as we mentioned we come there after our little one’s doctor visits. We come for the sliced pizzas deal they have although we have had the chicken strips, fries and some other appetizers. Sure we will be back soon. Wish Libertyville had more places like this.“

“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!“

“Great place to have Italian food 😊“

“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.“

“We order from here 1-3 times a week for lunch at my shop and dinner at home. The food is always fantastic, delivery is fast and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We've also gotten catering before too and that service was fantastic. Night driver Scott is awesome too!“

“Our pizza arrived quickly and cooked perfectly. We love Maciano’s! They used the best ingredients-quality cheese, great crust and the Italian sausage is wonderful!!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“We held a family funeral lunch at Lino’s. The staff was welcoming, attentive and very friendly as they took care of our party, which filled their banquet room. We had a couple of chicken dishes, a couple of vegetable dishes, a garden salad, potatoes, and cannoli for dessert. Our guests raved about the food, which was delicious and hot! We could not be more enthusiastic in our recommendation of Lino‘s!“

“Got the gyros and onion rings with Cajun ranch. Wife got a grilled chicken sandwich. We went at 6:30 on a Saturday. Food was hot and tasty, ready to try the pizza next time. The service was fast and friendly. They have lots of staff working for them.“

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

“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.“

“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?⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“5++?We were in the area conducting some personal business, and we decided to grab a bite to take home. My wife wanted a salad, and I was thinking about pizza, and getting our oldest son a Italian beef sandwich. I accomplished all three at Rosati's!It's a really small location, with a small rail bar with a few stools to sit at. Just enough to eat your food and be on your way if you're not getting to go. All of the ingredients for our meal were fresh and crisp. The pizza was extremely good, I had no issue with it. I'm going to also post this on my list of pizza joints. My son enjoyed his beef sandwich, and my wife thought it was one of the biggest, tastiest and attractive salads she's had. The staff was kind, and they brought our order out to our vehicle when it was done. I have to give them kudos, and the place was nice and clean from everything I could see. And the prices were very reasonable compared to some other establishments. I highly recommend Gabito?!?

Dietary restrictions: Ask

Kid-friendliness: Not really that type of facility, more of a grab and go.

Wheelchair accessibility: More of a grab and go, not really a sit-down location.“

“I had a look at some of these reviews and some are misplaced. I been to around 7 Sbarros in 3 countries and this one is up there with the best ones. I asked for a cheese and they made me a new one no fuss. I was also not asked to tip and I spoke English.“

“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.“

“Salutes is one of my family’s favorite restaurants in Lake County! We especially like their salad dressing!“

“The service is fantastic, we typically have a lot of lurker requests, like, pie cut, half this half that, well done, you name it. And always comes piping hot fresh and perfect. The delivery guys are the best. One of them brings biscuits for our dog and she loves him for it. Outstanding service excellent food, and perfect Friday night experience. Thank you Rosatis Grayslake!“

“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!“

“Rosati's Pizza, is pretty good. Especially if you like pizza by the slice. The Libertyville, IL., location offers on Tuesday's a 2 slice special w/ 2 free sodas! Not many locations where you can dine in though. The only dine in location I have noticed is located in Schaumburg, IL. I am sure there are other locations.“

“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 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 was one of your first customers in 1971 in Lincolnwood. I have been a customer for 54 years. Pizza is still great but prices are so high that I only bought when you offered $19.71. too expensive now. Also open Gurnee 7 days a week at 11:00 am“

“Food is delicious ..deep dish pizza sauce is great...lasagna cheesy and delicious...wings 😋...service leaves something to be desired...staff (1 person) didn't smile at all very dry....no self serve soda as machine dosnt work properly have to buy bottled or canned...which would be fine if all the other options of soda fountain weren't in your face and not usable ....cleanliness is a little on the low side but not huge deterrent...overall satisfied because I came for the food and it was great 👍 hope you love cheese“
