Went here last night for the 1st time for a double date dinner and it blew us away. From the food, to the service, to the drinks, and ambiance, everything was amazing. We ordered the arancini and burrata for appetizers and both were phenomenal. They need to bottle the sauce that comes with the arancini or make a pasta with it because it's delicious. The pesto on the burrata was fresh and delicious. We ordered the filet, ribeye, Chilean sea bass, and pesto gnocchi to share and everything was great! Best sea bass I've ever had! All entrees come with a side which is such a nice touch. The Ceasar and House salad were amazing as well. We ended the night with their homemade tiramasu and it was balanced to perfection! The staff and owner are super friendly as well. We will definitely be back! If you're looking for a local burbs restaurant with downtown quality and service, definitely check this place out. read more

We were lucky to get a seat at the bar up front and everything was A+. Very good wine list, strong seafood apps and traditional steakhouse options. I chose something from the daily specials list and my wife selected from the main menu. The big takeaway was the hospitality and service. I think we would return for that more than anything. I could pick apart details with the Spanish octopus needing slightly more arugula to balance the sweetness of the red pepper and fine balsamic vinegar, but we had so much fun, end of story. We'll be back. read more

When we arrived the restaurant was a little warm. But they immediately turned off the fireplace. We waited about 30 min before any server came to approach us or offer apps. But after that he was fantastic! The octopus wasn't cooked well but everything else was really good. I'd give it another chance and see if it was just a busy night. If I could make one suggestion to the manager or owner, tell the staff to be more aware of the guests elbow or chairs while they walk. I was bumped 3-5 times and it was a bit obnoxious. read more

We can't wait to come back to A+ Italian Steakhouse. Friend and I wanted Italian and hubs wanted seafood. This restaurant is the perfect spot for it! It's a quaint restaurant with high ceilings, chandeliers, a nice wooden bar, and spacious dining area with tables spread apart well. This was an elegant setting and can be perfect for a date night or fun dinner with friends. We enjoyed listening to Frank Sinatra being played throughout dinner! We sat in front of the speaker so depending on the song it was a little loud, but we appreciated the timeless music to go with the classiness of the restaurant. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. He took our drink order and gave us the time we needed to look over the menu. We started with mussels in white sauce and a dozen baked clams. They were fresh and there was plenty for us to share. Our server understood we wanted to wait to order our entrees after our appetizers and we never felt rushed during our meal. For dinner I ordered the gnocchi with 4 cheese and they were light and pillowy! Hubs ordered the Zuppa de Pesce and it was packed with fresh, well cooked seafood! He appreciated that the calamari contained all the parts and not just the rings. My friend's lobster pasta was so delicious. The sauce was so tasty, the shrimp was cooked perfectly crunchy, the pasta was well filled with lobster. Dinner well exceeded our expectations! We ordered desserts to go. The tres leches cake and tiramisu were rich and sweet. Hubs ordered the jumbo chocolate cake slice and they were not kidding about jumbo slice! We enjoyed it immensely along with our teenage sons! We will certainly be back for dinner and I'm excited to try other items on the menu! read more

Delicious food, ambiance and drinks! Even though it was a busy night on the 23rd, we were treated so well and were constantly checked on. We had the fresh bread, delicious calamari and shrimp (coconut and cocktail) for appetizers. I chose the penne Asiago and my partner had the chicken Parmesan. Everyone else loved their dishes as well. Lots of scrumptious dessert options as well! Would 100% recommend. read more

Food was amazing, from hand made pasta to the perfectly cooked steak. The restaurant has a classic Italian steakhouse nostalgic atmosphere. Will be back again !!! read more

I had a lovely dinner at A+ steakhouse and everything we ate was tasty, especially the grilled Octopus, Caesar salad and the whipped mashed potatoes. The Wagyu Tomahawk steak was prepared well too, but had a lot of fat on it. The lobster pasta was a little over cooked as the stuffed pasta broke upon spooning and the lobster and shrimp were on the tougher side. Tiramisu was great. The fudge cake was dry and too sweet. The old school fancy Italian-American decor with large crystal chandeliers, paintings on wooden walls, giant Christmas tree and Frank Sinatra playing is pretty neat. The staff serving us were warm and friendly, but overly eager to clear our table. Where we were seated, we felt a very cold draft surrounding us throughout dinner so that was uncomfortable. My guests had a great time nonetheless and will be back. Will ask for a table by the fireplace next time and try other items on the menu. read more

From the moment I walked in, the ambiance set the tone-beautiful lighting, cozy yet elegant, and perfect for a relaxed evening. The service was outstanding: attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling rushed. The food was exceptional-authentic Italian flavors, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care and quality ingredients. The baked clams, the steak, all phenomenal. Every dish I tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Overall, this restaurant delivered a complete experience: great service, amazing food, and an inviting atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer. Truly a gem and a place I can't wait to return to. As a city girl, this met all my expectations without having to take the drive downtown for that sought out experience. read more

Decent steakhouse with old school vibe (white table clothes and Sinatra playing). The food is well seasoned and decently priced. Service was attentive and quick. Lost a star because my steak was ordered medium rare and came out medium well and their old fashioned was offensive. Sweetest old fashioned I've ever had with very little taste of bourbon. All the drinks my wife and I tried were not spirit forward and too sweet. read more

We were super excited that another steakhouse moved into this space. It's such a cute little restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was great! We were thanked multiple times for coming in. I had the French onion soup (has a slightly different name on the menu) and it was so good. They had a piece of garlic bread that was crunchy and tasty! I ordered the chicken Marsala and my husband got the ribeye. So good! We had potato sides that we ordered that were decent. The waiter brought us a turtle cheesecake that was so yummy- I wanted to lick the caramel off the plate Overall a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Food was outstanding, great service. Old school Steakhouse atmosphere. Celebrated our wedding anniversary. Enjoyed the recommendations.

Very cool little downtown, walking to A-1 is even fun as you taking in all the great smells. We had reservations on Saturday night, arrived and we were seated right on time. Very nice relaxed feel, maybe a bit noisey, but not to the point that is created any issues. Cocktails were fantastic, has a Cosmo and Old Fashion, both great and served in a very timely manner. My wife and I each had different salads, both excellant. I had the 22 ounce rib and I have to say, one of the better ones I've had and to be very honest, I have dined at some spectacular places. My wife had the filet and also top shelf. Try as I might, I was not able to find anything that was a concern, so it's very high on my list of palces to try. read more

Food was delicious, best filet I've ever had, all employees were so nice and efficient, beautiful decor, it was our anniversary and we definitely enjoyed our food and special treatment. Will definitely recommend to everyone. read more

We pulled into a parking area a little over a block away and walked to the restaurant... once we were inside I asked the host if we had needed to pay for parking... he wasn't sure, but immediately called for his valet to run to my vehicle and bring it to the restaurant... amazing service, I was sold and we hadn't even sat down. Upon sitting down, all of the servers were extremely attentive and knowledgeable... Our drink order was taken immediately and was served promptly. My Manhattan was exactly as I take it and her wine was a good pour in a beautiful glass. Filet and the seafood special were superb. Will visit again every time we're in Chicago. read more

Not as expected. Not very Italian. The pasta selection is weak and the steaks are low grade. read more

Wow shockingly bad. I ordered the lobster bisque and it had hammered dried out salmon in it (the description only mentioned lobster). I asked the GM if it was supposed to have salmon in it and he said it's "mixed seafood". WHAT? Then the really terrible excuse for a house salad came. It was iceburg lettuce with a mealy tomato wedge and one slice of cucumber. After that we cancelled our entrees and noped out of there. Don't waste your time and money on this place. read more

We made reservations and came here on a Saturday and we were seated right away. The decor in the restaurant was very nice and cozy. I had the stuffed salmon with a side order of parmesan crusted potatoes and it was amazing. My daughter had the penne asiago and her friend had the gnocchi pesto and both said their pastas were delicious. We also had the arancini appetizer and that was very good too plus the service was outstanding. We would definitely come back. read more

Took my father and mother out to dinner and let me just say the experience was nothing but exceptional. All dishes came out perfectly, from the chicken Marsala (absolutely amazing) to the NY strip which was cooked to perfection and very tender. Appetizers to die for. Everything was fresh and bursting with flavor. If you want a high quality dinner with portion sizes leaving you full and satisfied for an affordable price this is the place. The service staff were excellent as well, always checking in on their customers, bouncing back and forth between the kitchen and the dining area to ensure customer satisfaction. The ambiance was beautiful as well. Brick-layered walls with nice paintings to add to scenery with dimmed lights to give a slightly dark atmosphere, for the perfection combination of elegance and decadence. As Italiano as it gets folks! read more

It was what was promised. The food was excellent and worth the price. Service was very good and attentive, not pushy. read more

Don't get the seafood. Calamari was undercooked, lobster bisque was not good, mussels were especially dirty tasting. Service was phenomenal and the pasta and steaks served around us looked and smelled good. Would give it another try for something that isn't seafood. read more
