Hands down the best Italian restaurant in McHenry County...and easily our go-to for date nights…read more We've been here multiple times, and I can honestly say we've never had a bad dish. The food is consistently incredible, and the portions are huge...you'll definitely be taking some home for lunch the next day. One thing that really sets Cucina Bella apart is the layout and atmosphere. They have three distinct seating areas, and each gives you a totally different experience. If you're looking for a more upbeat, lively vibe, grab a table near the bar. For a quieter, more romantic date night, the main dining room is perfect. They also have an overflow dining area, which is great when they're busy (and they usually are for a reason). The wine selection is excellent, and the bar staff can make just about any cocktail you're in the mood for. Whether you're celebrating something special, going out on a first date, or just want a great Italian meal, this place delivers every time. If you're anywhere near Algonquin and craving Italian, this spot is an absolute must!

Dinner with the family was nice; the waiter spilled my drink all over my lap. Not a big deal, I laughed it off and he gave us a discount on our bill, which wasn't necessary. Lunch with the girls was also nice. I had soup and a salad. One of my friends ordered soup and salad, her soup was very, very salty so our waitress offered to bring her a different soup. Both times I dined at Biaggi's it was clean and not too loud.

The only reason why I wouldn't give it 5 stars is because our waitress didn't seem to give us the best service. We did have a bigger group but drinks were gotten but once we told her what we were missing they came right away.

She just came by and dropped off the checks without offering any desserts to order. We'll be back as the food overall is very good.

We ordered the bruschetta and charcuterie board off the happy hour. The charcuterie board was just a meat & cheese board- it was good but don't except something grand.

For main entrees my mom got the chicken parmigiana with rigatoni noodles and I got the lobster ravioli with no spinach. I loved the lobster ravioli and will go back just for this dish.

We arrived promptly at 5:50 PM and were told by the hostess that our table would be ready shortly. I will say the restaurant was packed with families enjoying dinner. We were seated at approximately 6:20 PM when multiple tables opened up. While waiting for our table I noticed the various dishes being served to the tables in my viewing area. They smelled amazing and appeared to have very generous portions (leftovers). We were seated and our waitress Dalena M, quickly came to our table for our adult beverage selection. I ordered a Cozy Sweater beer, which was too light of a beer for my liking. Our friends ordered a red glass of wine and a lemon martini. For our appetizers we ordered Grilled Octopus, which was cooked to perfection. For our main entrees, I ordered a Fields of wheat chicken & bacon Ranch pizza & my wife ordered a Margherita pizza. Again, both pizzas were cooked to perfection. I was a bit jealous as I also have a woodfired pizza oven from Italy in my backyard, but unfortunately mine dough never tastes this delicious. For dessert my wife ordered Affogato (which is he go-to dessert) which was delicious. I ordered a coffee and strawberry cheesecake. The coffee was very good, and the cheesecake was very creamy and not dry. We are planning on returning with our adult children and their spouses.

The food has always been good quality, nothing spectacular, but worth the associated prices. I usually get a burger and my wife usually gets the eggplant parmesan sandwich and we both leave happy. Regarding the servers, we've never had a problem. The staff is kind, prompt, and generous. Just last night, they gave my wife a bowl of French Onion for the price of a cup, because of an ordering issue (not the server's fault), and they were very kind about it. Lastly, this is one of the few places locally that has a comfortable and moderately quiet dining room, especially late night. The volume is perfect for having a nice conversation over dinner.
