Service getting food was slow but our waitress was very nice. Pre dinner cocktail at bar was really good and bartender was great. Had high hopes for this place as menu had many great items. Appetizers were just okay and lacked flavor. We had a caesar salad that was more dressing than salad. A few of our dinner entrees came out wrong and common complaint across everyone in our party was the amount of salt on the food. A few of us got the shrimp with Polenta and it was so salty the only flavor that came through on the was taste of salt. It was so salty most of us could only have a bite or 2. Unfortunately we will not be returning.

We loved everything on the prix fixe menu which was offered during Hinsdale Restaurant Week! The food was beautifully prepared and plated and was truly delicious. The service was excellent, swift and competent throughout. This restaurant is a gem!

Beautiful atmosphere. Large selection of food and drinks that were delicious. The check was $140 for two but that was two appetizers, two entrees, 3 drinks, 1 dessert and two coffees. Would highly recommend the eggplant!

FISH with calamari and shrimp in the Linguini di Mare, I expected the classic calamari-clam-mussels-shrimp-octopus combination. Red sauce needs more flavor and an option for extra spicy and parmesan on the side. Wish it came with a little bread for free or side salad for upcharge. No cutlery on delivery order.

Though we had reservations, we were initially led to a tiny table for 2 upstairs that was lacking a second chair and the area it was in was completely overtaken by families with small children with their items for entertainment and clothing strewn across the entire area. We were then seated across the way at an appropriate table. Drinks were good. Food good as well but portion size reduced ( fingerling potatoes cut in slices to give the appearance of more food ) and once main ingredient was eaten, plate was attempted to be cleared 5 times while there was still a lot of food left. Many must love it as it was packed but it was a Saturday night. It was not like it used to be. But probably great if you have small children as they did not seem to mind the kids running around.

Last night at Il Poggiolo Ristorante with our friends was pure magic! From the exquisite wine selection to the delectable dishes, every moment was a culinary delight. The staff was attentive, dear, and added to the fun atmosphere. Can't wait to return!

Recently ordered the tagliatelle bolognese from Il Poggiolo. It kept its heat and tasted delicious out of a bowl from home. The food was ready for pickup fast (25 min from time of order), and it was very convenient to pick up from the hostess.

The service here was very attentive and accommodating. I thought the food was somewhat typical Italian fare, nothing extraordinary. Prices were reasonable (went for lunch) as far as today's standards are concerned. Ambience is very nice with very high ceilings and a beautiful bar area.

This is a great option in Hinsdale! We love the service from Dale. He is always on top of our needs and calm. It's a relaxing evening with good timing and recommendations. The pastas are good and try the fish specials!

Really nice experience here! No reservation but manager was able to hook it up (got a little lucky). Waitress was super friendly. Owner/manager came up near the end of the meal to make sure we were comfy and enjoying ourselves. Food was really solid and the drinks and desert were top notch. Easy recommend. Thanks!
