    Bug crawled on wall. Ok killed it. Then bug crawled out of friends food. Gross. Ok they didn't charge her, but manager never came over to apologize to a group of 8 of us. Waiter advised they just did construction & painted which disturbed whatever roaches & critters were in walls. Again Really Gross. Won't be going back. Sad because I really loved going there.

    It has been 20 years since I last visited so I had to come back and the food is very tasty. I had the big clams and the Pollo Serentino. It was delicious. Everyone in my family had something different and all were satisfied. We will be going back soon.

    There must be a different chef because I was here last year and the food was pretty good. This past weekend was a disaster. Came on a date wanting to show my lady a good time. Our appetizers took 30+ minutes. Meanwhile the restaurant was only 1/4 full on a Friday night. The Calamari Arrabiata was tasty but the baked clams were undercooked and tasted foul. We had to send them back and wait for our entrees which were both underwhelming. Salmon was not fresh and the Chicken Marsala was bland. We didn’t even finish the entrees and left hungry. They did take the clams off the bill but service was lackluster. I embrace all races but this entire “Italian” restaurant is staffed by latin people. Half of which don’t speak English. I think many people come for the entertainment on the weekends but even that was disappointing. Two guys with a guitar were painful to listen to. Needless to say this was my second and last time going here. Not authentic Italian food or environment.

    Food was good. Place has been updated. Service was ok. Waiter was fine and hostess was friendly. Young lady bringing out food was not in a good mood. Very matter of fact. Maybe having a bad day. Follow up of our food was never asked .

    We ate at this restaurant with a group of more than 5 people and it hasn't been the first time we ate here. This review is to help the owner and not hurt. Let's start with the service: The wait staff appeared to be inexperienced servers, handing food in front of the customer, being sloppy and dropping food on regular occasions. Not understanding when to buss the table and just a lack of etiquette at the table. Aside to not being able to communicate. The food was not good either. Tip for the Chef/Cook or Owner...if you see the food returning to the kitchen mostly uneaten and not taken in a doggy bag, ask why....you don't see that as abnormal??? The table had different seafood dishes and the fish was not fresh, it was smelly not fragrant. The atmosphere was nice, there was live music and the music kept everyone in great mood. Another positive was that they left you alone to dine and chat with your party so we were never feeling rushed. I know this place very well and frequented it even back when Ivano was running it. I don't think that you need to avoid it...The owner needs to step up and bring the Italian dining experience back...I know that there is a shortage of good help these days...but the owner needs a heavier hand....sorry!!! I am looking forward to returning and increasing my rating to 5 stars where it should be.

    The food is really good, it’s a tad bit pricy but it’s definitely a very good restaurant, it’s on the fancy side so I would dress nice when going there. The service is good too they’re very accommodating. Highly recommend it

    First time ordering from here...I catered food for my daughter's Communion. The food was all ready at pick-up time and hot. My family commented on the delish smell and the delicious taste of the food. Though all options were well received by my family, the baked clams, calamari, and chicken parmigiana were at the top of the list of great comments from my family. Tito provided great customer service from ordering the catering food to the date of it being ready, HOT for pick up. Great experience!

    Love thier Lunch Menu. For $15, you get a 3 course meal. There are multiple selections to choose from. I've had most of them, and they all are good. You start off with bruschetta and a hot loaf of bread to dip in the olive oil. Went back for dinner on a Friday night, and there was a live band playing. Staff is quick and attentive. I go here once a week, even though the original Goccia D'oro is only a few blocks away from me. There is plenty of parking at this location with wheelchair ♿️ access. The door to get in is in the back, in the parking lot.

    I don't know how these restaurants get rave reviews, and they happen to have 2. The "italian food" is fair, I have never seen nor had baked clams as small as theirs. I ordered chicken marsala, which was flat. I had to go, I was invited to bridal shower because I had already eaten at II, and certainly wouldn't of gone on my own.

    We went there for the dinner special. I ordered the pasta Fagioli as an appetizer it was directly out of a can or bag…terrible. Our waiter disappeared the food is subpar

  • 3/5 Craig S. 1 year ago on Google
    Really 2.5 Stars, Pasta was overcooked(sauce & meat was good), wait staff either understaffed or under qualified(waited 30mins to get check & food wrapped...from point of us literally pushing food into center of table to show we're done) and yes we asked two employees to get our waiter. Also guessing ppl smoke outside by bar...2 times back door opened smelled like cigarettes where we sat.

    First time there. Food was very good service was a bit slow but not bad. It was busy with parties that evening. I assuming staffing issues. Will definitely try it again.

  • 1/5 Bill B. 11 months ago on Google
    Wife & I ordered 2 dishes. My wife's dish was supposed to have prosciutto & peas but was sorely lacking both. I got linguine & white clam sauce. Last time we ordered food, order included salads & bread. No salad or bread this time. I usually have leftovers, but this time I finished my meal and was still hungry. WE WON'T BE BACK!

👍👍 Not sure if this location at one time was owned by the same people who own any of the other Emily's in Beach Park and/or Waukegan (now Carmen's) but either way, great food here. Finally made it out here this past January following a snowstorm and was a pleasant 1st experience. Good food at reasona...
