“Awesome day to sit on patio , have glass of white & enjoy salad & Mon special 1/2 off pizza !“

“A true favorite—consistently amazing! This restaurant never disappoints. The Risotto of the Day is always outstanding—creamy, perfectly seasoned, and made with care. Pair it with their expertly crafted Old Fashioned or a nice glass of wine for the perfect meal. And don’t skip dessert—the limoncello gelato or tiramisu is an absolute must! The owner’s warmth and hospitality make every visit feel special. From start to finish, it’s a five-star experience every time!“

“JAMES HYDRICK recently brought my fiancee back to my life, after we have been composed for 9years. We have stayed living favorably without any delinquent. I always converse about matrimony with her but she replies me with, And promise me that we will soon get married. I was shock on a faithful day when she called me and told me that she is no longer interested in the relationship, because she met another guy, and they were almost getting married. I was stunned and dizzy after hearing that from her. I was so drained and tried to get back to myself because deprived of her it was dreadful because I truly love her with the whole of my emotion. Until I was fixed up to JAMES HYDRICK whose email is (divine.spells@yahoo. com) I communicated with him and he guaranteed me that my wish will be settled unto me after 48 hours, and he told me to count on his words, and he gave me every purpose why I have not to worry any longer. So that was how James came into my marital life and fetched my girlfriend back to me after 48 hours as James hyrick guaranteed me, and now here I am affirming of his virtorious works. And he also cast money spell for me that really well-ordered out for me. So I will recommend you to contact him once you are in need of magic spell. he is sincere and real to help you out..

“We had a party for 63 people on Monday September 4th. 2023 ( Labor Day). We ordered food for 50 people. The food was delicious, there was plenty of food for all 63 people and everyone enjoyed everything we ordered. (Plenty of leftovers also). We’ve been having Labor Day parties at my location in Bloomingdale for years now, and never used Addante. I’ll guarantee that will be our only option from now on. Thank you for making our celebration a success. Guy & Lina S.“

“Ordered pizzas on NYE for pickup from online. They were ready hot and tasty within 20 mins and were amazing. The 8 corner pizzas are the best because you get edge pieces on every slide!! We ordered the meat, chicken, cheese my bread and a cheese pizza. We ordered so much extra ranch because we love ranch, but the ranch servings a big, we could have ordered less, but they are so tasty you can save in your fridge! Love jets for a quick pizza night!“

“Great experience as always. Evan our server was outstanding as was the food. George the manager stopped by to make sure everything was perfect. Great service, great food.“

“Amazing food and service every time. The 8-finger cavatelli is made in house and amazing. The ahi tuna was out of this world with the mushrooms and risotto.“

“Absolutely amazing food. Highly recommend“

“Picked up dinner tonight and it was delicious, enjoyed the meatballs, beef , sausage, minestrone soup and best of all the chopped salad! We’ll be back soon😊“

“The food is excellent and I cannot say enough kind words about how amazing the staff is. Every time we bring our toddler here, they treat her so special, making her smile, and so attentive to her. She absolutely adores the servers we’ve had. It makes you feel like part of the family.“

“It’s a nice place to eat. Unfortunately there was a party of 10 celebrating a birthday. They was very loud and obnoxious. Couldn’t really enjoy the atmosphere. Staff didn’t tell them to lower their voices. Maybe they need a special room away from the front so that other paying customers can enjoy their meals and conversations.“

“I have nothing but compliments for this wonderful establishment! My fiancé and I went out to dinner last night and had a taste for authentic Italian. I found this place online and read nothing but wonderful reviews about the food, and service. Located in downtown Westmont. Parking was so easy (right across the street), and from the moment we walked in we were treated like royalty. The manager Sergio greeted us with a huge smile, sat us, and told us a little about the restaurant. Our server Alysa was nothing short of amazing, knowledgeable, and gave us wonderful recommendations. We felt like family! All of the food is made in house, pastas, sauces, and even the wine and desserts! You can taste the quality of the ingredients, and tell that every single person puts so much care into making sure every customer is happy. The whole experience was wonderful, and it’s so nice to see small (not chain restaurants) are thriving. It’s been a long time since we had an experience like this at a restaurant and we appreciate their hospitality! I think we found our new date night spot! We will be back!! OFTEN! If I could give 10 stars I would! 👏🏻🍾🩷🙏🏻🫶🏻“

“In Chicago/Addison for work and could only walk few blocks for meal. Serino’s walk in was closed but drive thru was open and was asked to come to drive thru window. I didn’t get the man’s name that took my order and I asked him to make me a hot sandwich….he suggested the Italian beef ….he did ask if I wanted to sit inside while they made sandwich but I just waited outside but appreciated his invite. The sandwich was delicious and the aujus he added to dip sandwich in was excellent. Serinos was my first meal in Chicago area….I highly recommend and look forward to enjoying another meal there soon.“

“This was our second time dining at Positano’s and it was just as fabulous! The food here is superb, the wait staff are very attentive and we love the photos on the wall! The Seabass was to die for and the grilled seafood appetizer was divine! Our only regret is that we live in New York and cannot be frequent patrons of this wonderful establishment! Mille Grazie!!“

“Food is fantastic with great portions. Get you some good food here.“

“Check see & please tell ?“

“Everything we ordered, beef/sausage combo , baptized with giardinera + regular baptized beef with sweet peppers and an order of fries. The best!
Young man at the counter was very upbeat, genuine, and professional. He came to our table to help me download the new app and apply the points from my purchase. What a sweetheart.
The place was very well kept; clean, no napkins on the floor. Clean tables. Not like Port!//@$.“

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

“Food was fabulous! Margarita Pizza and cheesecake crepe both delicious“

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

“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.“

“Food and service fantastic. They were running behind with reservations but they comped us drinks an an appetizer...which is pretty unheard of these days. Rachel, our server, was phenomenal, I liked her so much I even asked her to help me "customize" my pasta dish, which she happily did (and it turned out great! The lobster diavolo but with vodka sauce...keeping the spice level.) Caesar salad good but not traditional...and missing anchovies (I know, I'm weird. Very fresh ingredients though.) We were a party of 6 and everyone loved their food. Reasonable prices too. Will definitely be back! Only wish it weren't so cramped inside.“

“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“

“Wonderful food and service!!“

“We were a fan of the fabulous food already. But when my husband and daughter planned a surprise Birthday party for me, we were VERY impressed. They said whenever they asked Ricardo for something the only thing they heard was: No problem! OR… Whatever you need! And ALL of our guests complimented the food and most took home doggie bags. If you need a party room and want to work with the most accommodating staff - give Ricardo a call. If I could give a 10 star rating - I would. I promise you won’t be disappointed!“

“1st time there on Wednesday night. Met the owner, his parents, & his friends. Our waitress Jazz made sure we had an amazing night. Wednesday the have live music & the Jersey Girls had the whole restaurant singing. Thank you for a perfect evening out & the food was fabulous. I can't wait to go back. Thank you Sean Gurney“

“I have been wanting to go Rosemary and Jeans for the longest time and I am so so glad we made it! The overall atmosphere of this place is incredible! It's homey, inviting, and all around makes you feel welcome. The staff here also brings out the best of the restaurant. Attentive, great suggestions and so so kind.

Now the food! It was amazing! Flavorful, fresh, and all around delicious! I cannot wait to get back here and sit outside on their gorgeous patio!

If you're looking for a great Italian stop with a great feel and good food, check them out! You won't regret it! We'll be back!“

“Great food and service!!“

“What a stand out team thats making this phenomenal beef with love in their hearts for a good customer experience and interaction. Kristen was killing it on the floor, seemed like she knew every customer and had for years. People like Kristen and her crew don’t just appear out of thin air, come see for yourself…“

“Great place- very good food, Old Neighborhood Italian 🇮🇹 classic ambiance!“

“I was on a soft diet for that diet and I thought of Olive Garden. I place a take out order because i had just left the hospital. I got there they was closed. I was willing to wait and i am glad i did. The food was great, Customer service meet my expectation. Branden was very friendly and professional. He is an asset to the company. I had not been to Olive Garden since you guys moved. I enjoyed my food. Hat off to the cooks. I will return very soon.“

“Paisans is quickly becoming one of our favorite restaurants. The bbq chicken salad is my favorite salad in the area. It's hearty, large portion, and always consistent. If you're into chicken vesuvio you should get it here yum yum yum especially the potatoes. We also enjoy their thin cut pizza because it's still thick enough to hold the toppings but is never burnt on the bottom like other places. The meat is quality too when it comes to the toppings we enjoy the pepperoni and sausage. The only potential negative is the restaurant is always extremely noisy but it's a pizzeria and bar so can't really expect anything different and the food is worth it.“

“I couldn't believe how inexpensive a dinner for four was. We ordered from the “epic dinner for four“ selection. As we were four men, we were hungry, and we could've used a little more food on the plates. But still, for what you got for the price, it was great.“

“Wonderful place to dine., food was delicious and our server, Fidel, was thee BEST ever! Will definitely return when I’m in Illinois again.“

“Best Italian restaurant in the world! Fantastic atmosphere“

“If you're looking for a perfect date night spot, this is it! We did see families enjoying their dinner too, so great for families. The atmosphere, service and food is top tier!!! 💯 Hands down, best filet and chicken vesuvio! They have live music on the weekends, which makes it fun for a night out with friends too!“

“the food was phenomenal and great size for its price. the service is nice and the overall a great resturant.“

“Had lunch there today with special friends. All our meals were excellent. Had cocktails & Merlot, soups, salad, eggplant parm, Pollo Al Marsala, create your own pasta. Will make this place a favorite place for delicious food as well as customer service above & beyond expectations. Oh, had bread pudding(heaven), Italian ice too(nice presentation)Our waiter Marco informs you of daily specials, makes recommendations, very informative & engaging. Thanks to all servers too!“

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

“We were there Friday night me and my best friend. The manager was exceptional. Food was on point like always.“

“Food was good. I had the spaghetti with meatballs...nice portion as well. What you see in the picture is what I'm bringing home so easily enough for 2 modest sized meal. My gf loved the pomegranate martini and had two....she said she caught a nice buzz“

“Had a wonderful dinner celebrating a friend’s birthday. Great service, excellent food. Just wish it wasn’t so loud and they had more parking.“

“very good razonable prizes“

“You can’t beat the quality of the dishes they make…from scratch!! Best subs in the state and the chicken parmigiana is out of this world. Mike and his boys definitely get hospitality! Go now and get some!!“

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

“This restaurant is my favorite go to when i visit Chicago. I live in Yorktown Virginia but i was born and raised in the west side of Chicago. For the past 5 years i have been going to Rocco Vinos because the food is great , the service was wonderful, and the price was good. As A result , I have been able to transport many pizzas back to Virginia. I will be clear , Virginia is not known for their pizza. Tino Mola , the manager , has helped me by preparing pizzas for me to be able to transport by car back to Virginia. My friends are overwhelmed by these great pizzas I bring back. They always want to know when I'm coming back and ask me to get them more. We have an Uno's pizza here but that's not a good representation of Chicago food. I will drive to Chicago before going to Uno's. And when I do , I'm going to see my friends at Rocco Vino's.“

“I have been shopping at Jewel for many years. Also I’ve had my prescriptions in the pharmacy I moved my prescriptions to the Fox Lake pharmacy years ago because it’s the closest to me before that I was at the Grayslake one, so I’ve been with them for many years. I’ve had enough. The pharmacist behind the counter has done nothing but give me a hard time about getting my prescriptions, I don’t overtake. I am there just at the time that I should be and there should be no reason he held my prescriptions back. I’ve had enough for one month. I went completely without my prescription because he refused to hand it over same thing happened when I wanted to leave town and get my prescription one day early as the doctor released it the insurance released it, but he would not , I’ve had enough it’s time to go on social media and let them know what’s going on and I put it off. I didn’t say anything for over a year. I’m tired now I’ve had enough!!!!“
