48 Best Italian Restaurants near West Dundee

“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!“

“We went to Woodfire for the first time a few weeks back on a Thursday night to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Full house!! We had the best appetizers, main dishes (pasta & pizza), drinks and the donuts as a treat from our amazingly friendly server was a fabulous ending to a great night! Great atmosphere, food, drinks & service!! Looking forward to going back again soon!“

“The food is excellent and the service is even better! It would be a great option for birthday parties!!“

“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!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Nice💯 people alwhays happy“

“The food is EXCELLENT!!!!“

“The food is delicious every time.“

“amazing food! garlic wings, hot wings, bbq wings all 100% perfect. the pizza is one of the best in Cary. the owners and team are great with communicating and serving the towns people!“

“We typically use the drive thru. We like your food, always fresh and tasty. Tonight I had the chicken avocado and strawberry salad. The salad was fresh, walnuts were sweet and crispy, dressing was very creamy. The only criticism I have is my chicken avocado and strawberry salad had no avocados. I do understand sometimes you can run out of ingredients or supply chain issues can interfere with menus. I would just ask to have this made known to us upon ordering or upon discovery, all in the interest of good customer service that you usually do deliver.“

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

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

“Great pizza and super friendly people“

“Love their pizza! The service was great and the atmosphere was old school and charming. We will definitely be back!“

“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“

“i recently had a disappointing experience at a restaurant that I felt compelled to share. I went there for dinner with my fiancée, mother, and our two young kids, ages 3 and 1. Initially, the dinner was fantastic; we were enjoying our time together and the food was great. However, after about an hour and 20 minutes, we were abruptly told we had to leave because of other reservations. This was incredibly frustrating, especially since I still had my drink left, and we had just paid our tab As we were leaving, we encountered a manager and inquired about the situation. To our shock, she responded by asking if we knew how to read English, which felt incredibly rude and unprofessional. I pulled up my reservation online and nowhere does it say there was a time limit. To make matters worse, as we walked through the bar to exit, she followed my mother and physically shoved her three times. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable in any establishment, and it left a sour taste in what could have been a lovely evening. We called the cops to make a report as the manager "lucy" (she told me this was her name) should never be able to touch a customer. Especially since we were not refusing to leave AND my kids were there to witness it all. In the car my son kept asking why the lady pushed my mom . This shouldn't be something I need to answer as it never should have happened. She tried telling the cops she did not have the "intent" to hurt but to get us out . Yet we were not even refusing to leave...only letting her know it was rude as we still had stuff that was unfinished that we paid for. I understand that restaurants have to manage reservations, but there are respectful ways to handle these situations. Additionally, she left it up to the waiter to tell us we had to leave . I won't be returning, and I hope this feedback helps others make an informed decision. And please , if you were in the bar / restaurant when this all happened , speak up on how wrong it was of her to push someone like that.“

“During the 7 Friday’s of Lent we went to 5 different fish fry’s, and without a doubt Moretti’s was the best. Not only was the price the best, the amount of fish was the most without AYCE. Great French Fries, homemade coleslaw and plenty of tartar sauce. Another plus was Happy Hour Coors Light drafts for $3. I’d like to thank our server ( Will M. )for doing a great job.“

“very friendly and I'm sure it's gonna be delicious smells great ! great restaurant“

“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!“

“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“

“Great pizza came in from Arizona that does not have good pizza“

“The best pizza around! Plus they give the dogs treats, highly recommended!“

“So many choices and the food is always great.“

“Anna is a fabulous server, helpful and attentive.“

“Disappointing. Have given this place a few tries, but last night was the last. Ordered a sausage pizza and there literally was 1 piece of sausage per slice on majority of the slices of pizza. Some slices actually had no sausage. Plus it was dry. Lifted up the cheese and there was barely any sauce. And, end pieces had no cheese. Took a pick when it was mostly gone....we were hungry so ate in anyways. We were very disappointed. A bad night maybe ? They weren't busy at all, no one inside. Really wanted to love this place, but....“

“Celebrated with family and couldn't believe the SPECTACULAR birthday treat! While most restaurants are cutting back, this Rosati's in Hoffman Estates TREATED us with a huge dessert! Enough for all to enjoy! And their daily specials are the best. Our server Kaitlyn was so thoughtful and made us feel so welcome. Don't miss out on this hidden gem of a restaurant!“

“NPT is the best pizza in the suburbs of Chicago! It is Neopolitan style pizza and they have pasta dishes as well. Their appetizers are excellent, their Tiramisu is top notch, and they have a good selection of wines and Italian sodas. Get over to NPT for authentic Neopolitan pizzas!“

“the foid was good the bartenders friendly, on the spot and gave service with a smile! band was great! dance floor tight tho.“

“Very good experience here. I've only gone for the slice and a soda deal and that price is very fair, don't think you can find anything similar around. Staff is also awesome, they didn't have slices when I came in, asked which one I wanted, told me to come back in 20, and it was ready! Can't beat that service.“

“We celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday here last night. From the phone call to make the reservation to the service- this dining experience was like no other. I told the manager when we arrived that my mom had back surgery recently- I was only telling him in conversation about how we’re getting her out of the house and celebrating her big. He immediately asked if I wanted cushions for her seat❤️ Now on to Kiley- our waitress. She was absolutely amazing. She was so kind and personable to our family, and made our experience at Aliano’s for my mom’s birthday perfect. I did tell her this and the manager but would love for the owner to see this and commend Kiley for her amazing work. You don’t see many 21 year olds anymore that are hard working and kind and personable to others. Great job Kiley- and to Kiley’s parents for raising her up right:)“

“Best deep dish I've had but I'm from Kenosha so all we have is a Giordanos chain. The crust here is the best part and the ingredients are fresh! I had a lou personal pizza and it's filling. Definitely recommend it ?

Vegetarian options: Just get a cheese pizza with any veggies you like ?

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs. Tables can accommodate wheelchair“

“Everything was amazing. To start the pizza is ??????. I get their half cheese and half pepperoni and it is the best pizza I have ever had, and that is saying a lot because I don’t really like pizza. Their service is generally fast but you can’t eat in the pizza place, it is takeout or delivery.“

“This place is amazing in it's simplicity. We typically get a pizza with some fries and it's always delicious, then we try the wings and they are by far some of the crispiest I've had in the area. Absolutely cannot recommend this place enough.“

“Huge thanks to Rosatis! I wanted to show my appreciation for my son's teachers and bought a group lunch for them to be delivered. They worked with me to order the right amount of food since it was a smaller group than a typical catering package. They also kindly delivered slightly outside their delivery area since their closer location is closed during lunch. The food was delivered on time, especially important since the group had a fixed lunch hour time. And the food was hot and delicious! Definitely highly recommend! Thank you Sunny and team!“

“They have the BEST pizza and always deliver it HOT!!“

“Zzas Italian beef is my absolute fave!! Fresh cut fries are amazing. We just tried meat lovers Square pizza...DELISH!“

“Ordered two large pizzas from here for the first time yesterday. The man on the phone was polite and our food was delivered within the time frame he gave. The pizza was delivered hot and they definitely did not skimp on the toppings. Everyone really enjoyed the food so we will order again in the future.“

“DELISH!!!! The Chicago Classic is a MUST HAVE! And the service is great :-)“

“What can I say ?Great pizza'sChicken, sausages fresh garlic on the pizza extra cheese it's just well worth it. The meatball sandwich and chicken sandwich is great as well. Best part is - during the week picking a huge slice of pizza when you just feel like having a pizza slice but don't want to order a whole one. The slices are BIG and yummy“

“Came to Alfredo’s after an absence and saw they made vast improvements, it was clean, open and a nice place to eat, drink and gamble. Staff was pleasant. Enjoyed our experience and will be back“

“I had a door dash mishap tonight and the manager not only got me my refund but had a new pizza being made with her own delivery driver. I even got cookies for my inconvenience! They have one competent manager among with delicious pizza!!! Thank you for making the whole issue so easy.“

“My friends surprised me for my birthday. Would definitely do it again.❤“

“The food is great. The service is not.

The old lady here is rude. I made an order for a curbside pick up. The instructions say that once you’re in front of the restaurant, call them and they will bring out your order so I did just that. I called and said I am outside for a curbside pick up. The lady goes “curbside pickup?” as if those were foreign words. Then she tells me she doesn’t see anything for a curbside pick up. I told her I could give her my name which I did. Then she mumbled something and said she will have it right out.

When she came out and gave me my order, she goes, “just so you know we’re not doing curbside pick up anymore”. So why is that an option on the website? Doesn’t make sense. Seems like something this location could choose to opt out of if they so chose. So it seems to me that she just didn’t wanna do her job.

But again, the food is great which is why I give it four stars.“

“Excelente atención! Todo delicioso 😋“

“Love Lou's. Ordered the pizzas, and went to pick them up. One took a little longer, and the employee gave us a 4 pack of cookies, for having to wait. Pizza was AWESOME! Love The Lou, deep dish with sausage. They also have a gluten free for those needing it!“

“Lou Malnati's is one of my favorite places to get good Chicago deep dish pizza. I have it rather often and every time the pizza comes out great! I have not tried out their thin crust pizza or any other dish that they have, but I am sure it is good as well.“

“The family wanted pizza after going to Santa's Village nearby. This popped up on our GPS. We got there and were a bit confused with the sign outside of the locations. But we went inside anyways. We loved it. Ordered appetizer and 2 pizzas (deep dish and a thin crust). The man taking care of us was really attentive. Will definitely come back if we are in the area“

“We recently had a luncheon at Moretti's in Elgin after the funeral of my mother, and I cannot say enough good things about our experience. From the beginning, the professionalism of manager, Felicia, her kindness, and willingness to make this as easy as possible for us during such a difficult time is deeply appreciated. Everything was top-notch: the accommodations, the food, and the service. We can and will definitely recommend for anyone needing a venue in the future. Thank you so very much!“
