Fine Dining Restaurants near Itasca, IL

“If you are looking for "Authentic" Italian food, Venuti's is your restaurant. The food is amazing, beautifully prepared and abundant servings, you will be taking some home. Beginning with appetizers, the Calamari is a must, the Arancini and pizza bread are incredible. Specifically; the Eggplant Parmigiana is delicious with huge portions. The Lamb Chops are decadent, the best I have had. The Rib Eye and Filet are second to none. You can't miss with any of the Veal or Chicken dishes, the Marsala and Francese dishes were our guests favorites. We had a large dinner party, some repeat guests and some were new. The evening was a hit, the guests were impressed not only with the food but the outstanding service. When eating at Venuti's, you are one of the family.“

“The restaurant is inside the Westin hotel in Itasca, Illinois. The ambiance is open in the atrium of the hotel. It's filled with plants extremely open all the way to the roof with a glass ceiling. Very convenient if you want to cocktail, grab a quick bite. I didn't sit and eat but I waited for my order and took it back to my room. and saying that, though, the staff were very attentive when you walk in and even ask if you would like a cocktail or a glass of water while you wait. They were very nice. I didn't have anything real difficult - quesadillas, one day and potato skins another day - both were tasty.“

“Two GREAT employees last night! First is Claude. Made a surprise rum drink from scratch and served it himself. Could not have asked for a better cocktail. Second is Andrew. Very thoughtful and was right there for everything with suggestions and service. They made for a very GREAT time.“

“I had the best steak I've ever tasted here for my birthday dinner. Everything was excellent. We had prosciutto wrapped mozzarella, au gratin potatoes, asparagus, I had the sliced tenderloin and my husband had the bone-in tenderloin. It was all amazing.“

“Dined in with my husband here last week for the first time. We’ve only had Korean bbq once in the past so not a lot of experience with it but we really enjoyed it! The meat (all halal) was in incredible flavorful and comes out marinated so ready for the grill. Also the piña colada and mojito mocktails were delicious! They have a full menu as well so you don’t need to do the bbq. They have steak, pasta and burgers. Would definitely stop back in again.“
