A cute, intimate place off the beaten path for a really good glass of wine and relaxation. We had…read morenever been here and happened to see it driving by. Reviews were good so we came in on a Monday evening. The interior is so cute! Velvety comfy green chairs at the wine bar, smaller lounge tables and couches in the rest of the place. There is a separate room for gaming. We sat at the bar and were warmly greeted by Aria L. She was so courteous and helpful, offering us suggestions on the wines and snacks. They have a great happy hour from 4-7p for $20 wine bottle which is fantastic. The house white was good, although they ran out after a glass and I went for the Simi sauvignon blanc which was so good. The parmesan truffle fries are a MUST. Just $8.99 for a nice sized bowl of crisp, tasty fries with fresh parmesan shaved on top. MM! I had the 12" cheese lovers pizza which had burrata cheese on top oh my GOSH that is gooooood. It's rich so I had plenty of leftovers for the next day. My friend got the 12" Diavola pizza which she loved. My other friend got the Italian panini ($13.99) which he said he was not that crazy about, but he did enjoy the atmosphere and the Guiness. It is a chill place to have a nice conversation without having to compete with loud music or chatter. We are planning to revisit the next time I am here, this was a very enjoyable evening.

One burger had to be sent back because they forgot the cheese and it came back out still well before the rest of the tables order. My father asked for a drink refill multiple times only to end up getting up and going to the bar to get it himself. But the whole experience was not bad. The burgers were great and juicy. Not sure why they call it a smashburger. There is nothing smashed about it. But the flavor is on point! Largest beer selection I have seen at a restaurant. Large seating area and they do a great job of not cramming in too many tables. They have some couches and a nice outdoor area. We will be back, the food was that good. I will update my rating after I give their service another try.

We needed to coordinate some last minute adjustments and Suzie was responsive, easy going, and genuinely invested in making sure every detail came together seamlessly! The venue itself is stunning. It has this rich, rustic elegance with exposed stone walls, warm wood tones, and the most beautiful candlelit chandelier that creates such an intimate, inviting atmosphere. It feels like a tucked-away wine cellar SO cozy, elevated, and full of character!

Once we arrived, the hostess could not have been more sweet. She was all smiles and was very welcoming. Our server was just as pleasant. She remembered my friend from previous visits. The room is very comfortable. Dark with a lot of natural tones that create the perfect backdrop for a lovely meal. A couple requests were missed by the bar and kitchen, however our cocktails and meals were still delicious. We loved everything. Overall, we had a very nice dinner and I look forward to my next visit.

I had their cabernet sauvignon and it was delicious. The bread was excellent. The crust almost reminded me of a salted pretzel. The chicken meatballs were flavorful. Calamari was ok. For the 2 pastas that I got to try, the spicy rigatoni was good. Chicken vesuvio was tasty and moist. For the grand finale we had cheesecake and tiramisu. Service was excellent. Park in the orange garage as that is the closest to the restaurant. I left around 8 pm and the restaurant was busy. I definitely recommend reservations.

I read one review that said the place was dark and gloomy. That is not the case at all. The food is outstanding. I had the crispy stuffed chicken. I've had this same meal (although it wasn't crispy) at 5 or so other local restaurants over the years and Mattone's was the best hands down. I tried my friend's meal, Rigatoni Contadina, and it was excellent as well. I just went here last night and I've already told a couple of friends about this place. I'll certainly be visiting again.

Had some great drinks and okay food at this LaGrange Park classic. It has a lot of history in the…read morecommunity and is a favorite among locals. Mattone has a pretty standard menu of Italian food like spaghetti. A lot of the familiar. The flavors may not be as good as they used to be so just know that and it will seem like better quality. Certainly the happy hour is the best time to come. It's expensive already so save a few bucks and it makes things quite an improvement. There's a lot of what to expect on the menu. Cocktails and pasta of course. They took forever taking everyone's order and then there was even more waiting. It's about $12 for the cheapest cocktails. They have a few bucks off martinis at the happy hour thankfully. A serious lack of vegetarian choices. There's even salads covered in bacon and pancetta. Has a few weekly specials to check out. It's $20 for the classics specials on Thursdays. Among the options are lasagna and spaghetti. This also comes with a choice of soup so you get lots with this. Actually a pretty filling meal. They can make the spaghetti without meatballs and stuff. Got to say it gets busy. It's only open in evenings. There's limited options for vegetarians.

So far both places we've gone to are amazing. This being one of them. The food was quickly prorated and absolutely delicious. We highly recommend giving it a try.

York Road can be VERY loud, but nothing they (151) can do about that. What put me off is I received a reminder of the res via text and was told to limit my stay to 90 minutes. I have traveled the world and eaten in restaurants high and low all over that world -- from fried cricket carts in Shanghai to multiple Michelin stars in Paris -- and this is the first time in my 58 years I was told to sit down, eat, now beat it!! I also grew up in the restaurant industry with our family business growing up, and worked through college in the industry. This is UNHEARD OF!! Yes, some guests overstay their reasonable expectation of a table's availability, but true professionals handle that situation in real time and with SKILL and GRACE. Not with some poorly composed text that essentially tells the person that once you've eaten, I'm not interested in conveying hospitality. All of this AFTER I had to put down a deposit for a table!! Who do these people think they are, Quince?! They sell salads and fried chicken sandwiches!! This was in very bad taste, 151. It smacked of entitlement to my patronage but no willingness to extend TRUE hospitality in exchange. I advise you to be careful as there is more and more competition in downtown Elmhurst, and that won't let up any time soon....and you've just lost another Elmhurst family.
