Italian
Absolutely one of the best Italian restaurants in the burbs! They have the best portion sizes and ambiance. You feel like you're eating an authentic Italian dinner in Italy.
Capri in Burr Ridge, IL
Great location with ample parking. I ordered a deep dish pizza with butter crust and was in heaven. Truly a Chicago staple and would recommend to anyone who wants to try deep dish pizza. Service was amazing because my service was very attentive.
Lou Malnati's Pizza in Oakbrook, IL
Asian
Incredible food with great portion sizes. You can either sit down and dine or get hibachi. My family normally sits down and dines in their normal restaurant. The staff is very attentive, and the food is incredibly delish!
Chi Tung Restaurant in Evergreen Park, IL
American
Great local place, they have delicious food and the owners are awesome. I have been going there for many years. They have the cutest patio. Perfect for outdoor dining. Try the Kenny Potatoes!!!
Pelican Harry's in Homer Glen, IL
One of my favorite spots in the western burbs. Excellent menu selection, quality food, and the people are outstanding. The vibe is cozy with low lighting, but on nice days, their outdoor seating is perfect for people-watching.
Pierce Tavern in Downers Grove, IL
The servers are always upbeat and helpful. The restaurant is clean and in good repair with a dark, clubby atmosphere. I usually get the Rigatoni with Pesto and it is always amazing! Very, very flavorful and a large portion.
Cadence Kitchen and Co in Downers Grove, IL
If you're looking for a good place to eat where the food tastes amazing and the staff is genuinely polite, stop by and try Lazy Dog. You will not be disappointed. Dogs are also welcomed.

I am always pleasantly surprised by Foxtail! The restaurant is located on the edge of downtown Downer's Grove. It is beautifully decorated with an open layout. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff were friendly and helpful.
