First time experience here. I met two friends there…read moreprimarily to see a solo musical artist called FiddleRock, but also to socialize, eat, drink, and be merry. The restaurant/bar is on the second floor of the building, located on the south side of the Illinois river between two marinas. We sat on the deck and had a meal and drinks. The view was great from the deck, overlooking the river, especially this time of year (summer). We all had Mexican style food, and all agreed it was very good. The drinks were cold and reasonably priced, and our server was adorable. The other staff we we interacted were also very nice. After eating, we moved inside and enjoyed the music, continued socializing, and of course, enjoyed more drinks. Both food and drink prices were very reasonable, in my opinion. I plan on returning. I just wish it wasn't so far away from me!

The drinks were excellent--well-balanced, creative, and clearly made with skill. There was also a live musician performing during my visit who was amazing and added a great atmosphere and really elevated the overall vibe. Service, however, was a mixed experience. One of the bartenders (a newer female bartender) was very friendly, attentive, and showed a lot of potential--she made a great impression despite seeming a bit new. Unfortunately, the other bartender completely brought the experience down. He came across as rude, disengaged, and honestly like he didn't want to be there at all. I understand it was a busy night, but there was very little sense of urgency from him, and wait times felt longer than they should have been--even factoring in the crowd. That said, I do understand everyone can have an off night, and given how good the drinks and atmosphere were (plus the positive reviews I've seen elsewhere), I'd likely be willing to give it another shot. Overall, great cocktails and ambiance, but inconsistent service keeps it from being a top-tier experience--for now. I will be happy to update following a repeat visit.

Worth the Drive - One of the Best Pizzas I've Ever Had**…read more If you're looking for authentic Neapolitan pizza, make the trip to **Iniga Pizzeria Napoletana** in DeKalb. It is, without question, some of the best pizza I've ever eaten! Every pizza arrives beautifully blistered with that signature airy, chewy crust that only a true wood-fired oven can produce. The ingredients are exceptional--from imported San Marzano tomatoes and creamy mozzarella to fresh herbs and premium toppings. Each pizza is handcrafted, simple, and absolutely bursting with flavor. Our favorites? Mais Pizza - sweet corn, creamy cheese, and just the right amount of char...unexpected and unforgettable. Hot White Pizza - rich, spicy, and incredibly satisfying. Pesto & Burrata - fresh, vibrant, and decadent with perfectly creamy burrata. San Marzano Tomato & Sausage - classic done to perfection. Sometimes the simplest combinations are the very best. The menu extends well beyond pizza with charcuterie, salads, gelato, desserts, cocktails, beer, and wine, plus gluten-free crust options for those who need them. If I had one suggestion, it would be to refresh the indoor atmosphere a bit. The food deserves an interior that matches its quality and creativity. The outdoor patio, however, is a wonderful place to enjoy a meal on a beautiful day. Brent as your server will take up another notch! And here's a bonus..Monday is half-price pizza.You'll probably find me there. Iniga doesn't just serve pizza--it delivers an authentic taste of Naples right here in Illinois. It's a destination restaurant that's absolutely worth the drive. Highly recommended!

We decided to drop in since it had just opened, and we wanted to see what they had to offer. If you look at the name "pizzeria napoletana" you may get the idea that this isn't Pizza Hut. It isn't. This is (according to my wife who has been to Naples in Italy) pizza the Napoletanese way. Thin crusts, interesting toppings, and different than mainstream American pizza. When we arrived we were promptly greeted at the door as we walked in, and given a choice of bar or dining room seating. We selected the dining room. Both areas were warm and comfortable, with the usual things in the bar (big screen TV) and dining room (art on the walls, nice tables and chairs, nice booths). We started with the Bagna Cauda, which was delicious. It seemed to be a little light on the garlic compared to my friend's version of the dish, but it was still good. It was served with bread, fennel, pepper and zucchini for dipping. It could have fed 4. For pizzas, my wife ordered their Margherita Verace, and I ordered their Puttanesca pizza. The Puttanesca had green olives, brown olives and white anchovies. The crust was very thin - so thin that I ended up cutting this with my knife and using my fork. I couldn't even fold it - the crust is very soft. I tried my wife's Margherita Verace, and it was similar in crust. It had lots of good stuff on it, and tasted good. Drinks were reasonably sized. I had a glass of wine which was fresh, and my wife after trying to order (and pronounce) Raganrok found that they were out of the sweet mead, so she went with a Negroni instead, which she said was quite good. The bathrooms were clean, but chilly in temperature. I hit the hot air hand dryer as I walked out in an effort to warm up the space. Clean, all fixtures worked, and well kept. The question boils down to this: Are you willing to experience pizza the way it was originally made - or not. If you are willing, you should try this place out. If you aren't willing - well, that's on YOU to change. You're missing a lot.
