“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! 👏🏻🍾🩷🙏🏻🫶🏻“

“We were able able to make a reservation via Google, and when we arrived they were expecting us. The staff is really nice, took our drink order right away (coffee and waters) and then our food order soon after. I loved my endless cup of coffee and banana crepes. One person ordered chiquillas, which looked great. We added meat sides later, which came right away. The bill was totally reasonable (no separate checks tho, FYI), and everyone left full and happy.“

“Our Women of Impact group had a celebration dinner Thursday evening February 2nd. ✝️ We were treated like royalty. 👑 Delicious yummy food and the service was outstanding! 😋 Thank you Kristen and Tacho for your excellent service and helping us to celebrate! 🎉 We will definitely be back soon!💕“

“OMG! We found this place on a whim, looking for GF in Oak Lawn for last minute lunch options. Stumbled upon this GEM! I am no vegan, but the flavor profile is so spot on. Casandra was so amazing, putting together a random taco tray that was so delicious! And A+++ for presentation! Thank you Abuelita Coco, we will be back :)“

“This was absolutely amazing 10/10 recommend!“

“We’ve visited the Belvidere IL location for both dine in and take out since it opened. We have yet to be disappointed except when the delivery person (me) accidentally tipped a VERY hot pizza to one side, moving the toppings askew! 😂 Great service and they always offer our “usual” and/or specials!“

“there is a fantastic rock and roll brunch menu. the service is excellent. and I can highly recommend the Long Island Iced Teas.“

“Great spot for live music.“

“Thanks for the vegan offerings. My family and I enjoyed our meals very much. Super tasty!!!“

“We had the best lunch. Our food was tasty and hot, not to mention generously delicious. No wait, great help. Open kitchen. I hope they open one further southwest.“

“I had a wonderful breakfast here early this morning around 6:20am, and I just wanted to say how great the experience was. Nancy was very nice, and everyone I interacted with was friendly. It honestly felt like one of those places where everybody knows everybody — a very homey, welcoming atmosphere.

The restaurant was extremely clean, including the bathrooms, which were well-lit and well-maintained. I’ve seen some negative reviews about the “rules,” but I didn’t have any issues at all. To me, they’re just letting you know clearly how they run things. If someone has a problem with authority, I guess they might take it the wrong way — but I personally had zero problems and thought everything was straightforward and respectful.

Overall, my visit was perfect. Great food, great people, and a really comfortable environment. I’ll definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful morning!

I also want to mention that I ordered my eggs over hard, and they came out perfect — not runny at all like some places tend to do. Everything was cooked exactly the way I asked.“

“An enjoyable restaurant to eat“

“Fun, down to earth, good food and the owner rocks!“

“Peppo's came through for our unit when we needed to feed an entire squad! This was our first time with Peppo's and it was great! We definitely will be ordering from here again.“

“Wonderful addition to downtown Lemont! Great coffee and pastries and the nicest staff!!!“

“Fabulous atmosphere, killer "naked" wings, tunes, and staff. Highly recommend.“

“1st time. Service was very good and friendly. Guy with the black curly hair super nice. Food was good. Had salad, soup, and a latte. Will be back.“

“Fine folks - Good staff workers that take photographs as well“

“Great vibes! Super fair prices, clean space, enough parking.“

“We went there today for breakfast. The eating area was nothing special but it was clean and nice enough for us to dine there. The food was pretty good as well. We tried the bacon egg and cheese sandwich and the cheese and jalapeño sandwich (our favorite) as well as a coffee and a hot chocolate! Everything was pretty good. In fact we decided to take a loaf of the jalapeño cheddar sourdough and some sweets home after we were through eating. Our only complaint was the gentleman taking the orders. He has absolutely zero personality and as the face of a place like this, you need to have someone willing to engage with customers. We never saw him smile once while he was dealing with us and we had two transactions while we were there. The bread is amazing. I just hope that the front of the store doesn’t keep people from returning! Just our 2 cents!“

“Teresa was outstanding great atmosphere“

“Nancy’s place is the best!!!“

“We had a wonderful experience at Burger 21! Delicious food (burgers were amazing, milkshakes delicious!), prompt service, clean dining room and even a handwashing station! Highly recommend! We will be back!“

“My go-to coffee is from the Little Creperie. I used to be a starbucks drinker, and now I can’t ever go back to it after tasting the quality of Little Creperie’s coffees. My absolute favorites are the Honey Lavender Latte, Pistachio Creme Latte, and Mocha. Not only do the coffees taste amazing, but the presentation is so cute!!“

“Food was great and the paper and carrots were fantastic. I'll definitely be back again“

“Good food lots of options, service should be spruced up!“

“Good Polish and American buffet. Friendly service. Big problem was supbar diet cola,in taste and carbonation level. Terrible for the high price ($3.50). Bring your own can of soda.

Also be warned they charge a hefty 4% fee to pay by card.“

“Yummy sub sandwiches, a step above the rest. Shells pasta salad, so good. Deliciousness.“

“Great food and great bourbon selection. But the bourbon is not on the menu you have to ask for it very good. Wait staff was excellent as well.“

“The food here is amazing especially regarding how many gluten free dishes they have. They have the largest gluten free dessert menu I’ve ever seen! So many delicious options that I just keep coming back. They also have a modern, but warm atmosphere that is delightful. This place is clearly a hidden gem and a must try!“

“The best. Chilaquiles and pancakes“

“We had a party of 11 and we were seated within 15 mins. Our server was GREAT!! His name was Jordan. The food was HELLA GOOD!! I would definitely recommend. We went to the location in Lombard. Love it here. The food is great. The staff is friendly and professional. The atmosphere is cool for a date night and for family/friends!! You won’t regret it. Trust me!! The drinks are really good too!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“I stopped by today and tried the Shortcake Latte—easily one of the best specialty drinks I’ve had in a while. It was super smooth, sweet in the right way, and really unique.

Rami took my order and was great the whole way through—friendly, fast, and made the drink perfectly. The place has a nice vibe too, so it’s definitely somewhere I’ll come back to.“

“We held a celebration of life for my brother here today. About 50 in attendance in the stylish, comfortable upstairs area. Despite the fact that I planned this from 400 miles away and without having ever seen the venue, it went off without a hitch due to Mr. David Candiotti and his staff. No surprises. Everything was as promised. The venue is extremely stylish and rustic. Food was delicious and plentiful as were the drinks. Service was fast, efficient and friendly thanks to Mona, Alberto and Olena. I highly recommend.“

“The spirits were wonderful, the flatbread combined with them well and was tasty, and rounded it all off with an excellent latte! What made our visit to Tierra Distilling so great were the wonderful, knowledgeable, fierce women who helped tell us all about the distillery and spirits -- so welcoming and helpful on this Saturday midday trip. Thank you all!!“

“While in town, a friend suggested to meet at La Crepe Bistro for lunch. When we arrived, there was no parking which indicated that it is quite the spot! After circling the parking lot for 5-10 minutes we were finally able to snag a spot! We were asked if we had a reservation (we did not) and the server said they only take reservations that day but we’re able to fit us in which was great.

We were able to get a cute table for the three of us and were promptly greeted by the server. I really don’t know if she even told us her name, but she was okay. Not very friendly but their dresses and hair were stunning! Really fits the vibe of the bistro theme so that was fun.

The menu is incredible and has a wide variety of options. There is definitely something for everyone. I ordered the croissant sandwich that came with a choice of ham, Canadian bacon, or bacon. Opted for the bacon. It was absolutely delicious. Skip the mustard on the sandwich though, it was a little too much. Fries and fruit were great! Before I even had the chance to ask, the berry crepe was already devoured so I think you can assume it was amazing! The burger was also good I was told. Everything was fresh and the presentation was very cute.

Once we were done, we stayed for a bit to catch up and chit chat but we were getting the impression the servers wanted us to leave as they almost immediately dropped off the check and were hovering around the table. Finally, we decided to leave because the looks just got uncomfortable and as we were putting on our coats to leave they were already clearing the rest of the table rolling their eyes. Kind of disappointing considering it wasn’t like people were waiting for a table or anything.

Overall, atmosphere and food was fantastic!!! We will definitely be back but will take our time eating so that we don’t get the boot or ugly stares by the servers.“
