    Excellent food and service! We reserved one of the igloos and it was warm even on a chilly night! Our favorite was the sausage and peppers starter, along with the lasagna entree. The bread was fresh, the cocktails were perfectly made and we were never rushed. We'll be back for sure!

    First time coming. Was looking for an Italian restaurant to "try" and couldn't have been more happier with our choice to come here. Great food, service, and great atmosphere. from start to finish Everything was Great. We will definitely come back.

    Our new absolute favorite go-to restaurant for Italian cuisine, amazing cocktails and a great wine list. From the garlic infused oil w/bread to authentic Italian cuisine to outstanding cocktails, Enzo & Lucia is the best. I'm not sure why we did not try this place sooner. Love, love, LOVE!!!

    It may just be that my food palate can't really comprehend the quality of the food, but overall the food was just bland and expensive. Compared to other restaurants I've been to that were bursting with flavor that was begging me to come back, the flavor from this place was okay. The veal just tasted salty and the caprese was lacking a good amount of the balsamic vinaigrette- well it was there but it was dripping off the basil and seemed to get mixed in the oil on the plate. As for the gnocchi it was just bland a few bites in and I was just done with the enjoyment of said dish. While this was a celebration for my mother's birthday and the food was overall enjoyed by family and friends, I can't say from what I tasted that it left me with a longing to try this place again. I should mention that the chairs are also very hard and uncomfortable to sit on for an extended period of time. The only reason why I'm giving this place a 4 was because of the piping hot bread that constantly arrive that had a nice crispy and flakey crust, along with the amazing service.

    I'm torn. I've been here three or four times. And usually come whenever I visit the area. As someone who lives in NYC it can be tough to find places with food that's up to par. This was such a place, but over the past few times, I can see that their food can be inconsistent. Additionally, I suppose inflation may have decreased their dish sizes. I remember being super impressed by the steak my first time there just under two years ago. Anyhow, still a place which I'd say you should try at least once to decide for yourself. The ambience is very nice. Service here is typically good, though sometimes just okay. Their bread is always warm!

    Omg! Zuppe Di Pesse is amazing. This restaurant was a wonderful find - food, service, and cocktails superb. And lovely interior to boot. We'll be back for certain.

    Wow, let's start with the Mandy Mule, incredible gotta try it. I had 2. The food was outstanding. Lemon chicken, chef beat it to its death. Could cut it with a paper fork, tender and juicy. The halibut was a huge portion, I couldn't finish cause I ate to many potatoes! Claudio our server was tremendous and then we got our food and he stopped over once and then the check. He did have a few tables. Still great service we think we showed in the tip! Have to try this spot. 10☆"s

    4 star food, 5 star prices. Almost great but not quite batting 1000 on execution. I'd eat here again though. Cozy upscale atmosphere. Big menu. Friendly and attentive service.

    The atmosphere is lovely, the portions generous, and the food was delicious. We also really enjoyed the live music which played on a Saturday night. It's definitely a place where you can bring the family and easily find something on the menu for everybody.

    The restaurant was very enjoyable and very busy since we came on the last day of The chocolate festival. We were a group of 8 people and they were nice in accommodating us without a reservation. The food/wine/drinks and atmosphere are good, however, by the time we finished our appetizers, it got really cold on the terrace. The main course was taking a long time (understandable, given the circumstances) and we asked the owners if we could finish our dinner inside, since everybody was freezing. They told us this would be impossible, since all of their stuff was exhausted from the festival. They did bring us a heater that honestly, didn’t do much since we were a large group of people that were complaining. At that time, they had plenty of free tables inside and a lot of people that were still eating when we left. I totally empathize with the stuff, but they were more than willing to move us, had the owner agreed, since they were freezing as well. Glenn, I understand that as you mentioned, this is a good restaurant but people usually pay not only for the food but for the entire experience and it would have been lovely to be able to actually enjoy our dinner in warmth, especially since you had the possibility and it would have costed you just a small effort. Going that extra mile is what differentiates and makes a business great!

    This place is amazing. Don’t be fooled by the exterior, the inside looks fantastic. I get the Tuscan Rib eye, side of potatoes, and a drink called “The Chicago mistake”. The steak is well seasoned and cooked to perfection for any temperature you order. The potato’s have a nice crisp on the outside while being super soft and fluffy on the inside. I do recommend making a reservation ahead of time. They get packed even on weekdays! But the service is over the top!

    We love this place. The staff and owners really make you feel welcome. The food is so delicious and homemade tasting. I just love that crusty bread and garlic but your significant other or people that live with you must also indulge or your sleeping on the couch. I recommend trying this place soon. If your planning on dinner you should make a reservation just in case. Enjoy

    Enzo & Lucia offers an authentic Italian escape. The warm ambiance and attentive staff set the stage for a culinary journey. The menu boasts delightful surprises, like the exquisite Insalate Di Pesce, Grilled Grouper. The cozy setting and genuine hospitality make it a standout choice for anyone craving an unforgettable Italian dining experience. Highly recommended! Thank you Eric for your service.

    Beautiful restaurant, inside and outside. My salmon dish was very good. Very nice atmosphere.

    The most authentic Italian food PERIOD! My family and I went to Italy (Rome, Venice, Milan…) over Spring Break and this food was better than half the dishes we had in Italia! Our waitress was so kind and consistently checked up on us. The food left me flabbergasted!!! 10/10 would recommend! The seafood is so fresh, it’s incredible. Lunch time is usually their lightest so if you go during dinner, be sure to call ahead to make a reservation. God bless the chef and this establishment

    This place is outstanding! We threw my mom her 60th birthday here and we had top notch food and service! My mom was born in Italy and we know good Italian food when we see it! Not only was the food cooked perfectly for 50 people but the service was phenomenal from the owners Glen and Renata to the waitstaff we had that night. They are above and beyond helpful and attentive. It was so refreshing to have such great food and service and all the guests have been raving since! This place is a must go for Italian food. Thank you everyone for everything!

    Beautiful place to just chill for a cocktail, lunch with friends, or after navel graduation like we did. Awesome food, drinks, and waiter. Thanks from Texas

    Good afternoon. I really like a dish of assorted seafood in your restaurant, the price is $47. We came for dinner for this dish. I don't know what happened today or did you change the recipe or did you change the chef? This dish was not tasty. The first time the dish was from seafood burned at the stake. Changed, the second time they brought rubber squid, added shrimp. For some reason, for the first time, they forgot to put the shrimp)))) My husband ate lasagna. The lasagna was delicious.

    Just the type of place to go if you want to be in a friendly, diverse atmosphere. Luis is SO welcoming and kind! The food tastes homemade and authentic! Just like in Italy.

    Love this place. Fresh seafood, excellent service, and really good pasta dishes.

  • 5/5 Stephen B. 1 year ago on Google
    This place feels like home. We first ate here about 6 months ago. We love it so much that we eat here nearly every week now. The food is on par with any Italian food you can find in the city, they have an amazing bartender, and the service is is top notch. When we moved to the Chicago suburbs, we initially had a hard time finding good non-chain restaurants. This is the one place we come that rivals anything you can get in the city. Seriously, this place is absolutely wonderful. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.

    Is SIX STARS AN OPTION? All and all one of the best dinners we have had in a long time. I would rate these guys in my top 20 dinning out ever. The Lobster in my seafood red sauce pasta dish….TOP 5 Of any lobster I have had out in my life. The chef nailed it. Most overcook lobster…this was dead on perfect. Service at the bar rocked! Katiana, the bartender made our drinks to perfection and nailed a few rare ones while we rode out the rain and just decided to enjoy more. Ellie was not even our server and assisted in great suggestions and food choices. For those who follow me, you know 4-Stars is a stretch, Enzo & Lucia deserve all the credit. Portions are huge. Suggestion: have an app, enjoy a mid course, split a dinner per two people, devour a dessert, sip some apéritifs, and relax. Wonderful all the way around.

    Food was excellent. Service was pretty decent, though a little slow at times. To be fair, there wasn't an empty table. Bussers were very attentive. It's a little on the pricey side but the quality is worth it.
