“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!“

“30 years ago we celebrated our first anniversary at Francesca’s original restaurant on Clark. Scott came around the tables with a frozen bottle of vodka in ice with expresso, lemon and sugar. We feel instantly in love with the entire experience. The food was simply exquisite. Today we celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at Francesca’s in Lake Forest and our angel Margo was the single most wonderful wait staff ever! She made our evening everything! Our meal was beyond luscious! She was the coolest most professional and kind person! Our evening was everything we could have imagined!“

“My first time in Illinois, and we came across Francesca's randomly. The hospitality and food are both excellent! Kenny was a great server and all others who served us! My mom LOVING the Linguine and Clams is an understatement. She's obsessed! Unfortunately, I'm headed back to California now. Thanks for a great experience! Til next time!“

“Happen to find this little gem while waiting for a tow truck for my boyfriend‘s truck today. I was thinking Subway, but then I found this. I am so glad that I walked in there, and that she talked me into the focaccia Capri style. The foot-long is massive the sandwiches, and the meats are phenomenal and the service could not have been better, I don’t care if I live 40 minutes from here I’m coming back !!“

“Came in again to try out their pizza special. I got the 2 slices and a drink last time, and it was too much for me. Just got a slice of sausage, and my usual soda can. Place is usually nice and clean. Everyone is friendly and acknowledges you when you walk in. It was cooked nicely and great crust. It wasn't too hard or soft, but just the right amount of crunch. The best part is that it's not really greasy like others. Big plus in my book. I definitely would come back if I'm in the area. Perks of working out in the field and trying new places.“

“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!!!“

“Our first visit to Disotto. Seamus was our server, and was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. We split an Italian chopped salad, tried some Bruschetta with roasted apples and one with whipped ricotta and peppers-really great- and then moved on to some pasta. The Pappardelle Bognese and Cavatelli con Burrata were delicious. Everything we ate was outstanding. Seamus seemed to anticipate our needs-we felt cared for without ever feeling rushed. We will make Disotto a regular destination.“

“Absolutely adore this place, visited with my family and they made us all feel very welcomed. They treat you like you’re their family. Bartender was very warm and attentive, even let us sample some high end whiskey before buying it. Loved the ambiance, it felt very cozy. Like something out of a movie. The food was pretty good as well. I’ll definitely be going back“

“we recently ordered carry out for a small get together at our house. We ordered off of the catering menu and were very specific with our choices. The woman on the phone was exceptionally friendly, patient and helpful. Everything in order came out perfectly incorrect. The food was delicious, everyone was happy and we even have amazing leftovers for the next night or two. Washington Gardens is consistently good and there is always a pleasure to deal with. We love it.“

“Always a great spot!!! Food and service is very good and they are very attentive! The owner and manager made sure we were comfortable at the bar while we had a short wait for our table. Then they found the best one in the house! (See picture) Try the mushroom/garlic flatbread as an appetizer!“

“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.“

“The pizza is consistently great! It always has a generous amount of cheese and sauce. I'm also so glad they offer a gluten free option. I always recommend Rosatis to everyone who wants a quality pizza.Dietary restrictions: They offer a gluten free pizza.“

“Came with a party of 15 people. Half where children called ahead and they accommodated for us.Really enjoyed the tininess of the restaurant. Food was good. The server Robert was great. Price was a little over my comfort zone but what can you do ?♂️3 pastas split 6 ways. 4 where children. They accommodated with splitting plates. Honestly didn’t pay attention if they charged for splitting plates as a “service”There was nice baguette at the beginning and with the pastas you got a soup of salad. The minestrone soup was very nice !“

“Excellent pizza! The sauce is not sweet but savory with proper seasoning. Their thin crust is so good that if I move away, I would drive hours to come back regularly. The service is friendly and helpful, and they even store my order info, so I can call up and order "the usual". Thank you for your excellence Pizza Italia!“

“I recently went here with my family after a colleague of mine, recommended it. The first course that we had was calamari, and they were much larger pieces than I'm accustomed to, and the breading was a little bit soggy however, the second appetizer we ordered was clams, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The rest of our meals were outstanding, and we will definitely be coming back on a sidenote from a service perspective I came with my wife and three children, one of which is eight months old. The hostess or manager offered for us to sit in a private room for the door that closes as there was some music in the background. Exceptional food, exceptional service, and exceptional people.!“

“We are very particular about our pizzas and Northshore Pizza was exceptional! We ordered the stuffed pizza and wouldn't change a thing. -The crust is flavorful with a slightly crisp bottom ....perfect platform for the generous amount of cheese on top. The tangy sauce is delicious and brings the pizza to life. Even the customer service is great! These guys know what there doing! Definitely our new go-to.“

“just ate dinner here with my family and had a great experience! did not take photos of my meal but will detail everything. ambiance: very small, close space inside with tiny tables. they could not fit everything we ordered on our tiny two top. restaurant interior was very clean but kind of boring. really happy that they found space our stroller. service: host, servers, and busboy were all very attentive and accommodating. however, everyone was frantically running around in a very manic fashion. the small restaurant was decently busy on a Friday night, but i did not enjoy“

“We love JJ Twigs. The pizza is always hot and fresh and they have really good sauce & cheese. The beef sandwich with cheese on garlic bread is hands down the best around. We typically get delivery and the drivers are professional and polite. The one time we ate there the service was good, the server was hustling to keep everyone happy and fun to talk to. A low key atmosphere and ok to bring the kids!“

“The very best the North Shore has to offer in Italian food. This small cozy restaurant serves the most authentic Italian dishes and the baked goods are incredible. Gino the owner is an amazing person in every way and a great friendTonight the squash stuffed raviolis in a sage butter sauce with sugar brought me back to Tuscany 5 stars and get a cannoli“

“So, I've been to Deerfield Italian Kitchen twice now, and let me tell you, it's like stepping into a cozy Italian home! The staff is super friendly and really makes you feel at home.Let's talk about the food - we started with the bruschetta, which was absolutely delicious. The spinach lasagna was a pleasant surprise, so flavorful and comforting. The gnocchi with carbonara sauce was a standout, creamy and rich. The fettuccine Alfredo, although made with fresh noodles, was a bit too thick for my liking. However, the vodka sauce tortellini pasta was a real winner, the stuffing was so tasty with spinach and ricotta. For the main, we tried their pizza, which was unfortunately very average, nothing special. It's probably something I wouldn't order again. But let's move on to the salad - their garlic homemade dressing is hands down the best dressing I've ever had! It was so flavorful and really elevated the salad.And finally, dessert - the tiramisu was divine, one of the best I've ever had! It was so creamy and fresh, a perfect end to the meal.Overall, Deerfield Italian Kitchen is a wonderful spot for some homemade Italian comfort food. The small size adds to its charm, and they do take reservations, which is a plus. The staff, especially Alex, was so friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a cozy, family-owned Italian spot, this is the place to be!“

“What an amazing place. I have been coming here since I was a kid and I’m in my 40’s now and it just keeps getting better. Everything from the stuffed pizza to the pasta you honestly can’t go wrong. We have had family parties here and I pick up a stuffed pizza any time I get a craving. The owners are great people so friendly as well as the entire staff. Give it a try you will not be disappointed and can’t go wrong there!“

“My family and a couple of my sons hockey team members needed a quick food spot by the local Northbrook rink. Couple doors down from Pure Hockey too, bonus. Food was fantastic, lots of different options and had TVs to watch sports. Quick and easy. Menu was huge from Pizza, sandwiches/subs, salads, pasta and desserts. Staff was nice too. Would highly recommend.“

“A quintessential Italian restaurant ideal for a large family. Or a great place to sit at the bar. Great friendly service and well prepared food to go with nice selection of wine. Located in a vibrant stretch of Glenview that is surprisingly pedestrian friendly. Definitely worth a trip to the suburbs.“

“Been coming here for 15+yrs and it never disappoints. Great food and a great value in a world where everyone is jacking up their price to absurd levels. Have had catering done for a large party, have had delivery, and stopped in for food many times and it’s always been consistent and good food. This place hasn’t changed a bit for as long as I can remember and I mean that in the best possible way!“

“The food was decent, i really enjoyed their salad. Our waiter was attentive and available. I don't like that we have to keep asking for bread here. I feel its a bit over priced for what is offered. In my opinion its just a more expensive Olive Garden.“

“I’m not big on reviews, but these guys absolutely deserve one. I would post a picture of the food but I ate it too fast before writing this. Their tortas are not on the list to review, but they’re low-key a “hidden gem” here. By hidden I mean they’re on the back page of the menu but if you choose to get them, you will not be disappointed. They’re loaded to the brim, packed with flavor, and the bread is crispy and everything you want out of your torta filling holder. I’ll be trying their pizza next, as the single slices were top tier. They seem like super genuine people who care about their customers and I can’t recommend stopping by for a bite enough.“

“Michelle is usually my sever (the 2 times I’ve come has been during the lunch special hr) She’s great. The Cesar salad is well done, as is the pizza. Sausage is my jam, my friend had cheese and my son had pepperoni. Great service and great pricing for a solid meal.Parking: Parking CAN be great or CAN be a pain…downtown Libertyville depends on time of visit for parking accessibility.Kid-friendliness: It’s an open space, and allows for kids to be around freelyWheelchair accessibility: The front door and vestibule are wide enough for classic or electric wheelchairs and the tables allow for great accessibility.“

“We decided to try out Tre Amici for our daughter’s birthday party catering. We could not be more pleased with their catering package and the price was so reasonable to feed a large group. The sausage and beef combo, pasta, salad, and pizza package we put together was excellent. All the food was well prepared and our guests were complimenting everything the whole party. We would definitely use them again for our future catering needs.“

“I love this place, and I've been going for over 10 years now. The manager might seem rough around the edges from time to time, but he's an extremely kind person. He just has a lot on his plate running a pizza place that's near and dear to so many people in and around the area. Thank you, Naps, for all you've done. I had an opportunity to see the back kitchen because I was doing an inspection on the building & I was impressed by how clean it was, and the products I was seeing them use looked authentic.“

“One of my all time favorite oldschool family owned places ,same recipe since day 1 in 1966! The very best thin crust in the Northwest Suburbs for sure ! Their homemade meatballs are amazing , add some to Manicotti or try Meatball Mushroom pizza for major “

“They struggled with some quality and employees issues a while back but they have really turned the ship around in the last couple of months. The owner got rid of the bad workers and improved the pizza products significantly. Their thin crust pizzas are now the best in the area and rival many places in Chicago. A buttery crust is topped with delicious sauce and cheese. The oregano-leaning seasoning is just about perfect and toppings are fresh and tasty. The workers greet you and are very polite. They are now my go-to in Mundelein by a mile.“

“Just tried their lunch combo yesterday and it was such a great deal!! Two square slices of pizza and a bottle of soda for $9 and some change! The choices are: cheese, pepperoni, or sausage. The crust is crispy on the bottom and soft and fluffy on the inside! Sauce tastes great too!I’ll be coming back when I come back into town for business!“

“I’m originally from Glenview. Came in to town to visit with my parents and we ordered pizza from here. From the phone call, to the delivery man coming to the door, (saying hello to my mom who just had surgery) to the yummy pizza it was a great experience. People are not nice these days and they were just great! Keep up the great work! I was highly impressed and I highly recommend! Thank you for everything!“
“If you're looking to buy some of the best fresh/dried pasta on the North Shore to cook at home, this is your spot. The only problem is once you have it, it's impossible to go back to store-bought dried pasta. They have a ton of different varieties that they sell by the pound. They'll also put it together into a really cute gift bag if you want a fun present for a friend. In addition to the dried pasta that they make in-house, they have probably around a hundred prepared frozen dishes in their freezer ready to take home and warm up, again all made in-house, as well as homemade frozen pizzas that are equally fantastic. This is a true gem, family run, and you can tell everything they do is done with love. There's nothing else like it around.“

“I can't understand the negative reviews. I brought my three girls here for lunch and we had an amazing lunch! We last dined here about a year ago. The service was incredibly fast, the fried calamari was delicious, and the pizza was amazing. My picky eater asked for four more meatballs after devouring the first three that came on her spaghetti. I decided to try the soup/sandwich combo. It was so difficult to choose a sandwich because they ALL sounded amazing. I was very pleased with the Italian sandwich with the asparagus soup. I wish I would have brought a quart of the soup home for my husband to enjoy. The ingredients are fresh and everything tastes wonderful. I am already looking forward to our next visit!!“
