Excellent flavors over her.. Great service. Small place with a few places to sit. It has huuuuuuge flavor. Menu is good size with plenty of excellent options. I ate here yesterday and have returned for more. The cubano sandwich is excellent. The soup I had was an italian egg drop type of soup with spinach and it was great. The chips and guacasalsa is solid. I will definitely return here again when Im in the area. read more

Love this Dario's! Their food is so amazing. Portions they have are huge! Their salads are fresh and incredibly delicious. Their sandwiches are also amazing, it comes with different filling, and it is so perfect for breakfast or brunch. The employees here are friendly and helpful, they will greet you once you enter the place, and even guide you to their different vacant seating. They also have outside seating so you can eat while enjoying the view. Their place has a great atmosphere, it is so organized, clean, and very nice place to relax. They also offer Paninis that is so delicious and good choice for vegetarians, This Dario's location is in the heart of downtown Palatine, it is a must visit place, perfect for a date, bonding with friends, and also quality time with your family. You are so welcome to stop by at their place. And you should expect to be greeted with a big smile of their employees. Hands down to the customer service they have. Highly recommend this place especially to those people really loves salads and sandwiches with veggies.

I would definitely love to go back at this place again when I have some free time. Thank you Dario's! Keep it up! Will see you guys again soon. read more

Really great food, fast service, amazing prices. Hand HUGE portion sizes, I always get a second meal out of each order.

SO GOOD! First of all, the atmosphere is nice and cozy. It makes for a good intimate lunch date but also a great spot to sit with friends. The couple that was there running it, whom i assumed to be the owners, were very polite, friendly, cheerful and helpful. My girlfriend got some sort of vegetarian delicious heaven sandwich and a i got a damn good chicken focaccia sandwich. The prices are a little high but the food is definitely great quality with a great finished product. This is a sandwich joint but not a deli, so there is no confusion. I will most definitely be back in on a cheat day to sample more of the menu. Easily one of the best sandwich places in the area. read more

Dario's where have you been all my life ?! I am in love with this place! I tried the highly recommended Cubano sandwich and it's phenomenal! Their employees couldn't be more friendlier if they tried. I only wish that they were open on Sundays. I will "forget" to bring lunch to work more often so I can come here on my lunch breaks. Dario's is now officially my favorite lunch spot in Palatine and surrounding areas. read more

I had the BOARDER wrap with roasted pork, black bean, lettuce, avocado, pico de gallo, cheddar cheese, guaca-salsa One word: Super! Its even big enough to share. read more

Great little sandwich shop next to the train in downtown. Not too many seats, so you may want to take out. The pork sandwich was decent, but lacked the overall bite that I was anticipating. The $10 price tag was average, but I would have preferred a tad bit more food on the sandwich. read more

Tried the much hyped Fiesta and Cubano sandwiches: Pros - Made fresh, huge portions/good value, nice grill marks on bread, unique taste, and overall 2 pretty tasty sandwiches unlike other sandwiches out there. Cons - Taste borders on gimmicky crowd pleaser flavors as opposed to classic sublime unami tastes. Lots of stuff and sauces in their sandwich like how something can appear to taste better with a splash of BBQ sauce, Russian dressing, or honey mustard sauce on it. Service is very friendly but beware of them closing 10 minutes earlier than their 6:00PM posting. read more

You will not find a better sandwich shop in Palatine! Dario's has the best sandwiches! I typically order the club panini and the ingredients are so fresh and delicious. I've also had the BBQ pork sandwich and that too is amazing. I can't wait to try the other items on the menu! The restaurant itself is small, but I like that. Sandwich places usually are! It's right in downtown Palatine, a great location. I strongly encourage you to try Dario's. read more

The sandwiches are really good and the staff is friendly! Always a great experience! Try the build your own sandwich.

Not a lot of seating, but such a cozy little place with delicious food and super friendly staff. We had the half panini with soup. Vivo and Roma Paninis and then Tomato Basil Soup and the Italian Egg Drop Soup that I can't spell, so we will leave it at this! Love this whole little area! read more

We are in the Chicago area for the weekend, and found Darios on Yelp as we were passing through. It did not disappoint! That Chicken Breast Foccacia had all the right flavors put together into one awesome sandwich! And the customer service we received was top notch! Thank you for a great dining experience! read more

Obviously locally owned and care and love put into the food preparation. Awesome food. No tipping. Love it. For those who have not read my reviews - stop reading reviews from those who only post several times. Stop posting one bad service experience. Give it 3 try's before you slam them. We're human. Stop complaining about the price. Fresh well prepared food will cost you a lot more and it's worth it. Stop serving us unimaginative bland food in the suburbs. We want the same food you serve in the city. read more

Easily the most delicious restaurant in downtown palatine. You know it's good because they are never open. Staff is friendly and prompt and they pack some big flavor in their sandwiches for such a tiny place. I eat here every chance I get. Try the dirty potato chips, they're the greatest. read more

Cute little place with great food. My chopped chicken salad was really fresh and tasty and BCT panini was very tasty. Everyone was pleasant and attentive. Will definitely come back here read more

What a great find! My son and I stopped here after a day of college shopping. The sandwiches were absolutely divine. There is absolutely nothing I would change about it. We both had grilled Panini's. He had the Italian and I had a veggie one. They were cooked perfectly, with a crispy outer crust and super melty and gooey on the inside. Well done! read more

Chicken Breast Foccacia is amazing. Probably the best sandwich I have ever had.

We found this place while trying to find a good sandwich place in the area. We saw it had 5 stars and wondered if it was really that good so we tried it out. They definitely didn't let us down! Sandwiches were fantastic and everyone was very friendly. Now we come back here every time we're in the area! read more

Small delicious place for lunch. The women behind the counter are very kind, the food was made to order and quick. I had the Chicken Hummas Wrap and it was amazing! light and crisp panni style wrap. I would certainly order it again. The Salads looked fresh and a colleague had the cubano and said it was made the "right" way! Over-all great find in downtown palatine. read more

This is my favorite sandwich place in town. Some great sandwiches to try are bbq roasted pork, chicken breast focaccia, southwest chicken panini, fiesta panini, or chipotle hummus wrap. Can't go wrong really, I would probably list the whole menu if I tried them all. Still working on it! read more

Love the menu! We ordered through the pandemic at least once a week. The food is great and we are so happy to have them in Palatine.

Hands down the best cafe I've ever eaten at. It's like Panera Bread but on steroids. The Cuban is my absolute favorite sandwich although I haven't had one I haven't loved. My only heartbreak is that they don't sell bottles of the sauce. read more

Terrible customer service and don't take responsibility for their own mistakes, nor try to rectify them like a good business does.

The best sandwiches I've ever eaten. The Fiesta and Cubano are amazing. Big portions, quality & fresh ingredients and friendly staff.

I had the special of half a sandwich and soup (I chose the Cubano and their soup of the day stracciatella). Both were delicious! The half sandwich was very large - more like a full sandwich. It was so addictively good - i had to finish it. Also, staff were lovely and the place itself very cozy and pleasant (though small). read more

Best in town, hands down. Service is always great, as is the food. Love everything on the menu I've ever tried. Can't go wrong.

You cant go wrong at Dario's! Food is exceptional and the staff is great! Large sandwiches. The Cubano is by far my favorite! I recommend this place! Ive tried a few things at Durty Nellies and Taphouse and neither have food anywhere near as good As Darios! read more

Darios makes the best sandwiches! I love the variety of flavors! Huge portions too! Their soups are delicious!

This is the best place for a quick bite in Palatine. We have been going to Darios for a few years now, and it never disappoints. The Fiesta Panini is my go-to sandwich, but everything else on the menu is amazing too! Large Sandwiches, soups and huge salads. We also love the fact that we can bring Udi Bread in for our Gluten Free son and they make him a Panini to order. They are not open on Sundays or evenings, so be sure to plan ahead. In the summer they have a great patio to sit and enjoy your food. read more

This is one of the best places for sandwiches and salads. I'm sure everything is top notch but I've only had a variety of those. Everything is so fresh and flavors are well combined. And they have some of the friendliest staff of anywhere I've been. Every time after I eat here, I'm left wondering why I don't stop in at least twice a month. If you haven't been, stop by! You won't regret it read more
