Italian Restaurants near Wood Dale

“Monzano salad was delicious. Pasta w vodka sauce tasty, if not too exciting. Meatballs were tender and very good. Lentil soup was fantastic, flavorful though not very hot. Service was ok. Attentive at first but No one came to clear dishes, though it wasn't busy. They will bring food out as soon as it ready, so if you want to enjoy soup or appetizers before your meal, order them separately.“

“Their salads are huge and soups are all homemade, the cream of chicken being my favorite of all time. There are no preservatives in their soups. The chocolate cake and cannolis are to die for and the spinach ricotta rollups are like my Nanna used to make. The Managers are the nicest in the area. Nothing is the same after COVID, put this place still tries. Once in a while they forget the dressing for the salad and they will bring it back out like they should with an apology which is rare these days.“

“This is our new favorite restaurant. It's not your typical Italian restaurant. Every dish has its own twist and personality. We have been there twice and all of our entrees were amazing. Service is very good an the staff is welcoming and friendly. Best Italian restaurant in the area!“

“Hands down one of the best restaurants I've been to. A beautiful place with a great vibe. They have a bar in the main dining area which is great if you're looking to hangout after dinner. The staff was absolutely wonderful. Everyone was so friendly and fun! Every dish we had was SPECTACULAR!!!. We ordered about 8 dishes and every single one was delicous. You can tell they use high quality products/ingredients. Lastly, the price we paid for this 10 STAR experience was too low in my opinion. I would easily pay triple the amount for this place. We'll be going back very soon. Maybe this weekend! ;) 10 STARS for Bar Salotto!!!“

“Wow! Just wow!!! Posto 31 has the best happy hour I've had in a long time. My amazing friend and I love doing happy hour during the week at different places around town and came across Posto 31. We decided to give it a try and we were blown away. The food was deliciously good. The filet sliders were cooked at medium rare and melted in your mouth like butter. The meatballs are to die for. Like by far the best meatball ever. The creamy polenta and sauce tied it all together. The whipped honey ricotta sesame toast is heaven sent. That there alone is a dessert for me. The creamy sauce from the freshly made rigatoni is a dream and made me think I was in someone's kitchen in Italy. Plus the strawberry thyme drink made by Abraham was the bomb! I'm coming back for that one again. The service was fast and the staff were so nice. We didn't have to wait long for our food. The ambiance is very upscale to me, super clean and the decor is beautifully done. Also shout out to the amazing couple we got to meet during our happy hour named Mark and Christian! I totally wished I got their number. They made our first visit so much fun and we got to enjoy a shot of Lemoncello that is also house made with them. Kudos to the chef and owner!! Such an amazing vibe. See ya'll again soon!“

“We rented out the banquet room for a family party and between the food and service, the experience was exceptional. Everyone raved about the food options and the staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. I would highly recommend Francesca's for any event you might have.“

“If you want true Italian cooking and a friendly atmosphere, then Mangia Napoli is the place. I cannot express enough how great the food is! Thank you to Fonz, Eddie & Vinnie for the excellence in food. Fonz the Zuppa you prepared for our anniversary was beyond excellent! Many thanks“

“Sunday lunch was a wonderful experience for several reasons. The restaurant was open according to their posted store hours. A few years ago, this would have been a silly compliment. But these days, we have had several encounters in which we would arrive at an eatery and notice the doors are still locked even though it's past their usual store open hours. Needless to say, service was attentive, friendly, and efficient. Our party of six shared the smoked trout dip, calamari, charred pepperoni pizza, white mushroom and truffle pizza, Italian cheesecake, and tiramisu. The smoked trout dip is a tad high on sodium but I really like how it was served with flaxseed crackers. The pizza are served Romana style, therefore rectangular and fluffy. The crust is thin but with a crunch. Even better, they are half-price on Sundays!“

“This is an absolutely spectacular spot to stop. Quick service, terrific food and incredibly great prices. I wanted to get myself an italian beef while I was here in Chicago and Frannies helped me accomplish that goal in the best way possible. Thank you for the terrific experience and I will certainly be back.“

“Food was scrumptious. Got the salad, cream of chicken and a sandwich, and a tiramisu.Everything came really fast. And the whole place was spotless. Verrrrrry happy with my visit.Wheelchair accessibility: The parking lot and store are on the same level. The curb allows wheels on the left hand side of the parking lot as well. The chairs are movable.“

“True Italian cooking in a bar like setting, has a private side room away from the bar and outdoor seating weather permitting. Long time established bar that has been remodeled to make it more family friendly.Parking: Newly asphalt parking lot that can get full, but street parking is close by.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap spots right by entrance and no stairs inside.“

“This is the first time we've had Serinos. The subs are amazing. The bread soft and the meats sliced thin makes for a great sub. The cheese brick oven is our sons favorite. The potato and macaroni salads are so tasty. Desserts fantastic. We love Serinos and is now our favorite deli. Great staff. Keep up the perfect work! Almost forgot the chicken salad. The best chicken, not fatty or too thick. Perfect seasonings. Hard to find a great chicken salad like my own home made, but Serinos is great!“

“Our server ruined our experience!! We always come here!!! And Rachel V was so rude, so brief, so not helpful or engage at all!!!! Never asked if we were Ben wanted any more drinks, we had to ask the busser for bread and boxes. She was awful - we normally love it here too bad the friends we brought never want to go back because of her !!“

“Our server (Juan) made our night very special. It is always a pleasure to have a seasoned veteran in the restaurant business who understands how to go above and beyond the average dining experience. It is the little things that a server can do that make a restaurant quite memorable. Thank you, Juan.“

“I grew up eating Lou’s. Never had another deep dish. And I’ll never get tired of it. They can get busy especially on the weekends but you can order your pizza ahead while you wait. It’s best to reserve if you can. My favorites (besides the classic) are their Buffalo wings, calamari, pasta, and can’t forget the cookie skillet. Always had a great experience.“

“My second time rating them because I love them so much.My family and I have Rosati’s at least 3 times a monthDennis, the big boss is soo nice!! And the employee who’s name is Misael too. Best pizza in Addison. Stop looking around …..it’s here“

“Returning diner. As always, It's a great time at Positano's!!!! Edwin, our server, efficient and attentive. Always does a great job. Lauren behind the bar, made a delicious Mint Julep for us on Derby day. The food is amazing!!!! If you go once, you'll go back again and again... Highly recommended!!!!“

“Family took me here for my birthday. I think I first visited this same location for my 13th birthday over 45 yrs ago and several times in between. Pizza I my favorite of all time! We had a sausage, pepperoni, The Lou, and a hot honey pepperoni - everything was great! They even stored and served cake!“

“Truly a family-owned, family-run and family-centric establishment. We've witnessed them grow since they opened in 1999, and their craft is perfected. Whether you want a quiet date night with some ridiculously delicious pasta and wine; or a coffee and Gelato; or a quick lunch of a sandwich, pizza or arancini and pasta salad... you can't go wrong. They're expert caterers and you won't have to worry about a thing if you're hosting an event of any kind. Love!“

“Home Run, got the 8 finger cavetelli with a couple meatballs on the side. Both were amazing, pasta cooked fresh tasted great, meat sauce was very meaty. The place was spotless, by far the cleanest restaurant I've gotten food from in a long time. You can tell the owner cares. I hope they continue making great food cause I'm gonna continue going here.“

“Awesome place to eat with great food and even better service! It took longer for us to figure out what we wanted to eat than it did to get the food. We had skirt steak skillet and biscuits & gravy eggs Benedict, they were fresh, hot and delicious. Jess was our waitress and she was on top of it and just an overall beautiful person. Service was impeccable, as soon as we were done eating another sweet lady stopped and took our plates. Great teamwork, we were seated by the waitress station and it was nice to see the smiles and hear them laughing. The guy at the front counter was a sweet and funny!***This place is so wonderful that before we were finished eating we already couldn't wait till the next time!***“

“Took The Wife here for an early dinner.Had never been here, before. We were greeted and seated immediately. A delightful place. Very cozy. The service was excellent. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was wonderful. Reasonable prices, and plentiful portions.We highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Definitely one of the top 5 pizza slices I have ever had. The jumbo slice is not only the biggest slice I have had,they have to cut it in half for you to really enjoy. I had the garlic dressing for the salad and it was amazing. I can't wait to try out the other items in menu. Best of all the workers are really nice, I Think it maybe a family owned business where you get that personal attention unlike corporate restaurants. Definitely going again.“

“This is one of the best little family owned Italian restaurants! Enjoyed a great family dinner. Not rushed like other places today. Food was phenomenal and pricing very reasonable for the high quality of the food and the extras. Great service. Will be back when I am up in the area again.“

“Celebrated my mother in-laws 90th birthday and could not be more pleased. We were a group of 30 for brunch and the food was wonderful. The buffet had a huge spread of good tasting food. We were also pleased with the staff. We had a waitress that did not miss a beat. So impressed. Well done Venuti’s.“

“had an incredible experience at this restaurant! the staff was extremely hospitable and accommodating. i have a lot of food allergies and they were able to make all accommodations and double check everything. the food was DELICIOUS. our table got the Grigliato Misto, a new salad (forget the name but it had an assortment of berries and grapes - SO REFRESHING!!!), broiled lake superior whitefish, roasted brussels sprouts, and a seasonal new drink - espresso old fashion.grigliato misto - 10/10. good portion, great flavor, cooked perfectlysalad - 10/10, honestly could have eaten just this with how good it wasbrussels sprouts - 9/10 the brussels were huge but the flavor was really goodbroiled lake superior whitefish - 6/10 it was fine but it wasn’t anything special. it was missing some flavorsespresso old fashion - 9/10“

“Dinner was great. We've never had a bad meal. We usually try the specials, and they never disappoint. Service is great. Very friendly. One of my favorite dishes , although I have not seen it on the menu for a while, is the Rotollo. I hope to see it again. Thank you Made in Italy for your food and service! That's why we keep coming back ?“

“My boyfriend and I love this place. It's extremely clean inside and we usually just place an order to go over phone. We usually will get chicken Alfredo or baked mostaccioli, but we ALWAYS get those tacos. They are actually very very good!“

“I stopped after work for an Italian beef sandwich. It's one of my favorites. And they can get it ready in about 10 minutes while I wait.Fabulous pizza also! I love the extra thin crust they offer.The people there are always friendly, it's a great local restaurant.“

“Had lunch in...chicken parmesan was dry, not enough sauce, chicken tasted old, didn't like. Would have liked ice water at table rather than having to purchase $2 bottles of water. Bread was excellent. Paid and tipped, but no table service, so not sure why.Cannolis that we took to-go for a birthday were fantastic. Rosemary focaccia to-go, also great.“

“Friendly service, delicious food, clean and nice environment. Service was just a tad slow on bringing our check; but otherwise very friendly and attentive for filling water and clearing the table. I would definitely return and already recommended it to a friend.“

“Friday pizza night review Came for the pizza would come back for the salad. Atmosphere and service is top notch here. And we will be back to try other things as well. The wedge salad was freaking amazing. They really elevated an old classic! Wine selection is very good here The pizza was good but not amazing. The tart was a nice lighter finish.“

“Would I visit this place again: YesWas this place clean: YesOutdoor seating: YesWas this place hard to find: NoWhat would I change about this place: NothingWhat was my favorite thing about this place: Real homemade espresso and delicious food. The atmosphere is authentic and I felt at home again.“

“I do love the Alpine shop in Elmwood Park, but I have to say I like this location much better. A very friendly staff & a few tables for outdoor eating. Don't get me wrong the staff is friendly at Elmwood Park but they have so much going on that a few times our orders were messed up. So, I think I will stick with the Westchester location. Alot of parking too which is a Big Plus. The sandwiches are very fresh. Delicious as well! The cookies look very good too & next time I will add that & even a packaged brownie to our order. I never knew this location existed until we took a trip to the Queen of Heaven Cemetery. My Husband & I wanted to eat lunch first. We were shocked to find out Alpine is in Westchester for 7 years!! I am very happy we found out! The best subs around!! I had turkey with cheddar cheese & Gerry had The Alpine.“

“I've been coming to this bakery for at least 20+ years and it's always a treat. Whether getting a slice of their real Italian pizza or a cannoli or some bread/rolls or ordering a cake - you won't go wrong. Huge selection of Italian cookies and pastries as well as most other things that are baked. The biggest issue is once you get something here, no other place will ever be as good.“

“From food to drinks and service, we are so lucky to have this neighborhood gem! I love the cheese and meat app, as well as all pastas and flat breads we have tried. The staff is beyond helpful, and the owners are supportive of the community. It does not get better than Trezeros!“

“Our reservation was for 5pm and we walked in at 502pm. The food for both my wife and I were absolutely the best Italian food we have ever had. The price was excellent for such great quality. We will try to come at least once per month. Thank you very much for our delicious meals. We will see you soon.“

“Food was AAAmazing! Best pizza I've ever had. Ordered a small and could only eat one piece. Taking the rest back to Washington state. The Greek salad was so delicious, it's served with a fresh slice of feta cheese on top. (I forgot to take a pic, I was hungry).“

“Food was great as usual. I had the veal lemone. Veal was very tender and lemone sauce was perfect. My husband had the lasagna. He said it was delicious and very generous serving. Service was great. Very attentive. Can't wait to go back.“

“My daughter and I dined for the first time here today. the food and atmosphere was amazing. we had a couple pizza lunch specials and calamari. The best part was our server, Isael. He was attentive, friendly, and was just noticibly proud of where he works. We will definitely be back and requesting him as our server.“

“I was very impressed by Fire and Wine. It has a casual vibe. Obviously a local favorite. Each dish was excellent in taste and presentation. Service was great! Both the hostess and server were happy to share recommendations of their favorite dishes. We had the black pepper shrimp appetizer and the pizza bread for the tasty sauce!! We enjoyed our salads and entrees. We were too full for dessert! As we left, I was impressed at how clean the restaurant was- even after serving such a large crowd. Nice place. Good culture. Recommend!“

“The food was fantastic, the staff was kind and friendly with great recommendations. The desert we had, the sticky toffee bread pudding was phenomenal! The service was perfect with timing and the atmosphere is comfortable and charming. This is a neat place to go to to catch up with friends and family or a date. Thanks so much for the great evening!“

“We often order from Rosati's Lombard for our office Pizza Fridays. The pizzas always arrive on time and piping hot. This week, we tried the cannoli for the first time—yum! I love placing my order with Tom. He is one of the most efficient order-takers I've ever encountered. Five stars all around for service and delicious food.“

“Love going here for their pepper and egg sandwiches on Fridays. Also tried their BLT and the one with mortadella and pesto. Love that I can add calabrian chili spread but need to be careful because that stuff is hot. And finally a sandwich shop that serves it on real bread and the right size. Never go hungry after eating here. Also the lemon cookies are on point. Need to try some of the hot sandwiches next.“

“Celebrated our mom's birthday dinner and everything from the atmosphere, staff and food was excellent. I always drove by but had not gone in to try and I'm so happy I did. It's definitely my new go to restaurant and they deliver! I didn't get great pics of the food, but here's a couple.Parking: The restaurant is in a small shopping strip but there's plenty of parking.Kid-friendliness: My kid loved the chicken tenders and fries.“

“This place was AMAZING!!! The waitresses and waiters were extremely polite and helpful with anything you requested or asked. The Food was DELICIOUS!! I would highly recommend eating there and tasting their amazing Calamari and seafood soup!! Actually it may not have been soup but the juice of the meal which was Mussels with some vegetables in this phenomenal juices. They simply are creators of amazing flavors and Definitely worth the value of their meals. ?“

“Our server and all the people that work there were awesome. CIindy was great. We were seated early, which was nice. They did not mention that it was a problem that one of our five wasn't able to show. I do say that the sound was very loud, and we were lucky enough to be seated away from the main seating area. Which was very congested. But we were not rushed. We were actually encouraged to take our time. It was a birthday for two of the people with us, which they brought out small treat at the end of the dinner. There was a surprise 20% off on house bottles of wine. Overall, it was a very good experience, but I would definitely ask for that hallway off the side to help lessen the congestion and the noise. We're looking forward to going in the summer and sitting outside on the roof, which is just fantastic.“

“We came here to celebrate my mother in laws birthday and we are so happy that we did. The executive chef, Arturo, recommended a salmon dish. My mother in law and myself ordered it and we both loved it. Not only was the food great, but the hospitality and customer service we received from both our waitress and Arturo made it a pleasant experience. We appreciate the kindness and customer interactions with us. We will be back again and highly recommend it here.“

“I have waited too long to order from here! We tried a panzerotti, cheesy garlic bread, a thin crust pizza, and tiramisu to go. All the food was yummy! The pizza was loaded with ingredients. A high quality cheese. And sausage with fennel, yum! It smells good when you walk in. Very authentic Italian food! Friendly service. Reasonable prices. I'll be back.“

“This is our family favorite pizza place, prices are great, service is outstanding and food is AWESOME, please don't waste your time somewhere else, if you are a pizza/Italian food lover, Generoso is a MUST, thank you Generoso for your great service and AWESOME food :)“
