Have not ate here in several years. I used to eat here and at the original local location regularly. The food is just as good as I had remembered. I always ordered the Rudy Jr Shrimp Special. Very tasty and never has disappointed me! The fresh bread was excellent. Service was excellent. Tiramisu was very good! Will definitely be back more often!!

Food was delicious. I ordered clairs seafood special. Tons of shrimp, calamari, muscles, and clams. Everything tasted fresh over a huge bed of angel hair pasta. The dish was enough for 2 people. Grilled calamari for appetizer and their Troublemaker Red blend wine was fantastic.

Had a banquet and was overall happy with the service. The chicken here was delicious and well seasoned. I enjoyed their salad and the dressing it came with. The meat balls were overall nice just would’ve liked it a bit more cooked. The pasta was good overall. The bread here was nice and they offered a good amount. 4/5 would recommend

There isn't a better place to sit down for Italian food. The wait staff is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants an authentic taste of Italy. Don't even consider wearing a belt here because your pants won't fit when you leave!

Everything about my dining experience here was very good. I very much loved my lasagna and the vegetable sides were well seasoned. The entrees were moderately priced and came in big portions! The service was good and the atmosphere was not too loud or busy. I would definitely recommend this place and go back for one of the many other dishes on their expansive menu!

The pasta at the old location was always excellent. Recently, we ordered the Pasta Fagioli which was very salty, the stuffed shells which was also salty and the lasagna. There was so much sauce in the lasagna that it was lasagna soup. It is unfortunate that a place we loved, in its original location, has declined to such a degree.

This my first time going to this restaurant and it did not disappoint! The food was absolutely amazing ! So fresh and full of flavor! The staff was so nice and friendly! The purpose of the visit was because it's my birthday and they made me feel special! The restaurant was nice and clean! Will definitely be going back!

Visited a few times, while we have not try all Italian restaurant, Clara’s its probably the best if not, one of the best in Illinois! Delicious food, love the pasta and spaghetti!  We enjoyed the salad and the soup was great too! Even the kid love their food. Kid meal comes with a main dish of  your choice plus a drink and dessert!!  The kid love the ice cream! The Host is very helpful, Services is great! ( I honestly think they over staffed lol)

Went here on the regular when we were dating and my wife and I just went to Clara's for our 3 year Wedding anniversary. Upscale staff atmosphere and simply top notch amazing food! Clara's never disappoints! Highly recommend!

The service and food were superb. Prices were very reasonable. I would have given it 5 stars but my pasta portion was so very small and it was swimming in sauce. I think the kitchen should have taken a look at it and asked themselves "Where is the pasta 🤔???" We were with another couple so I just let it go but $14 for one cup of pasta and 2 cups of sauce is not what I was looking forward to.

Nice Italian restaurant and atmosphere. Friendly and knowledgeable waiter! Good food! Nice place to celebrate a birthday or special occasion.

Best Italian Restaurant in Illinois!! Delicious Food, Relaxing pleasant atmosphere. Everybody is kind, super professional and knowledgeable. Personal Favourites: ⭐️ Calamari (both grilled and fried) ⭐️ Caesar Salad ( grilled salmon or chicken) ⭐️ Shrimp Ersilia ⭐️ Cream of Chicken ⭐️Bruschetta From deserts Lemon Cake is fantastic!!!

Carried-out 2 small trays of pasta for family dinner. Food was ready on-time, well-boxed for travel home, and exceptionally good. Would definitely recommend.

Food was very good. Lots of choices. I wasn't impressed with the table bread rolls and the marinara sauce. But I really enjoyed the calamari, seafood dishes, and highly recommend the restaurant. The server was great and food came out quickly.

My FAVORITE place when I’m in town! I have never had a bad meal here. Everything is amazing including the waiters!! I LOVE the filet of salmon but substitute the salmon with chicken! They really should add the chicken version to the menu!! Best Italian food in the area!

We have not been here in years. We were there today to celebrate my wife's birthday and we couldn't be happier!! The food was amazing , and our server was great. Would totally recommend !

Food was amazing. Ordered the Fillet of Salmon. Lemon butter cream sauce was on par and paired great with the angel hair pasta.

Best pasta in the Chicago area. Authentic fresh made pasta with an amazing selection of sauces. Quality is unmatched. Everything on the menu is delicious. Portions are generous. Service is attentive without being intrusive. House Specialties are all excellent. Clara’s has been a family favorite for over 20 years.

Great place for Italian dining. Busy, social vibe. Great food. Recommended for date night, meeting with friends and family. Kid friendly. Bar service also available

Our waiter was wonderful! Excellent food, reasonably priced. Make a reservation if you can!

6/23 - we just ate here for the first time. Outstanding. The two hosts at the front door were very friendly and kind. Josh was our server and he is top notch. Nice guy. Hope we get him again. Made our night. This was the first time I have had fresh pasta at a restaurant. (Not that I have it all the time at home). It was damn good. Actually the best tomato based pasta dish I think I have ever had. Clara's Seafood Special. We had a great time and we will be back...with friends. Thanks Josh.

I didn't take any pictures, unfortunately. We were told we had a 30-45 minute wait and we were seated within 15 minutes! The wine and Sangria were terrific!!! Shrimp and salmon was amazing! My wife's homemade pesto was delicious.

We met with Solo and discussed renting front room for baby shower. Day of shower they moved to back room. Rented to another client who booked after us. In contract it’s states needed a minimum of 30 guest to secure, which we complied and confirmed 30 guest. Be very careful when booking events. And I would not order chicken Parmesan.

Huge restaurant many rooms. Some group was hosting a large reunion and Clara's was able to host many customers. We had only a short wait. We have come to Clara's since there first location and continued through all locations! The food and service continued to uphold Clara's high standards! We have leftovers including the wine we didn't finish! The wine is 75% sangiovese and the blend is awesome 👌.

Clara’s has attentive service, delicious food, and a fantastic facility. Me and my family will be returning again for the great atmosphere!

What a great Italian place. We celebrated my birthday dinner there and the choices were amazing. The portion sizes and cost were excellent as well. Service was exceptional.

Clara's was excellent!! They accommodated 10 of us for my daughter's college graduation a bit earlier than reservation time. Our waitress Bree was awesome. She gave us some great advice on food and desserts as this was our first visit. She was the best so ask for her next time you visit. We will definitely be back!!
