This review is a few weeks late. We had a corporate event where unfortunately the dates and…read moreconfirmations got mixed up. And at the last minute, Maggiano's took our group of over 40 people for dinner. The service we received was phenomenal! The food was perfection. The servers worked hard and made sure our group was taken care of. We did have a few demanding people unfortunately. But they did not miss a beat. While I would not recommend calling them last minute for a large group dinner, I would highly recommend this restaurant. They exceeded our expectations. I want to give a shout out to Nathan, the Maitre D', Youness & Juan both servers, Silvi & Jorge bussers and I think Troy was the manager. Great job!!!

Can't remember the last time we were here but the wife remembered us enjoying their food. Went back last night and was again, a great experience. Fresh pasta, well-seasoned proteins, generous cocktail portion, and 2 bussers whom I felt like, were there to solely cater to our table only; I love restaurants when you don't have to ask, they just know. I would highly recommend this place if you're in the area for an NU event. If you're a local, get your butt over there tonight!

The sauce paired with it was the real standout--full of flavor and the perfect complement to the dish. As for the main event, the pizza arrived piping hot and fresh from the oven.

Great atmosphere, even better food. I can't wait to come back!

Hey have a prime real estate spot right on the corner of Touhy and Lincoln, and the best part of this location is there's garage parking attached to the building! Always a plus when a restaurant has parking! (I can't speak to what parking is like on a busy weekend night, but it's definitely great to have parking on site!) Our server was Jeff K and he was so kind and attentive to us the entire dining experience. When he saw that my daughter and I brought a birthday gift, he proactively asked whose birthday it was! When we told him, he secretly told us he will bring something special for him later (which he did). We didn't order any appetizers but were brought complimentary warm bread for the table. Our entire party enjoyed our entrees and the ambiance. The hostess also came over and checked on us to ensure everything was to our satisfaction, and we were never left waiting for anything, and did not feel rushed to move along. I imagine this restaurant had a beautiful vibe in the evening, and the outdoor patio seating will be very popular when the weather stabilizes. Will definitely be back!

We have a little one so we wanted to go out and eat as a family for our anniversary. They were so accommodating with getting us situated and taking care of us. Our kiddo really enjoyed the environment and loved eating there even though he dropped food on the floor. LOL. Food is excellent as well. Highly recommend the calamari as an appetizer. I got the special of a swordfish and loved the presentation and how it was plated. Kids' meal is also quite generous In portions . We were also touched that they gave us dessert on the house for our anniversary and it was delicious. We will absolutely come here again to eat out. One really big plus is that their parking is garage parking!

IMPORTANT: IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN HERE IN A WHILE, TRY IT AGAIN UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT…read more As I note below, I had been to the bar, but not the restaurant since it re-opened earlier this year after a water leak required them to close and remodel. We were expecting an "okay" meal and I'm delighted to say that they exceeded every expectation. This spot is a traditional, old time Italian spot and is a TOTAL home run. Greeted by the manager whom I had met before -- always a positive to be recognized, especially after only one other visit. Gentleman pouring our water and bringing the bread (warm, delicious, and served with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan) recognized the other couple with whom we came and hugs were exchanged (literally!) - this gentleman was upbeat and smiling and set a positive tone right out of the blocks. Our server/waiter was equally fabulous. He was attentive, knowledgable, personable...and emblematic of the type of restaurant this is, walked us through the menu (a lot of traditional Italian dishes) and a good list of specials (he had tried them all) ... and then noted that the chef will pretty much prepare anything provided they have the components. THAT, to me, is a sign of a great old-time Italian place. As is the personal visit from the chef. Entrees include a side salad or soup, so we skipped the appetizers. The side salads were as one might expect -- the house-made balsamic dressing served on the side was rich and fabulous. For the entrees: one order of the halibut, one pasta, and two of one of the specials: scallops in a saffron cream sauce. Four strong positive reviews. I'll add that I've eaten at the bar once, and ordered the veal parm which came with a side of pasta, and was elated with the food, the ambiance, and the service. The room is pretty traditional -- bar on the left, two well appointed (and pretty full) dining rooms to the right; tables and booths, white tablecloth, etc. Genuinely feels a bit like being in an old, traditional Chicago or New York Little Italy spot...but in suburban Glenview. There are a bunch of new entrants into the restaurant market in Glenview, and we have tried them all...and came here to make sure we were supporting the old standards. Gusto is a gem, and deserves every bit as much attention as its new competitors. Of note...with the new entrants, parking is at a premium. Gusto has its own lot...and offers complimentary valet for when it's full.

Fried zucchini app - the breading had mostly fallen off by the time it got to us so we were just eating zucchini which was mushy and wet. I'm guessing the moistness of the zucchini is why the breading didn't stay on but I dont know. Eggplant appetizer - this was fine Branzino special - good fish but they ran out of polenta and everyone was disappointed since a bunch of people in our group ordered it. Most ended up w a side of spaghetti that didn't have enough sauce and one got mashed potatoes that he said were bland. Tortellini special - overcooked, making the noodles too soft. Not enough sauce either Service - excellent

I still managed to consume two out of the four slices. Maybe on a good day, I'd wolf it down in the blink of an eye. Just to make sure I was tripping about the pizza, I decided to box it. I'd probably may like it in its leftover state. The sampler my cousin got was a great way to start our visit. I really dug the boneless chicken and the sauces that accompanied it. It's rare for me to issue three stars, but when I do, it's to say the place has what it takes to redeem itself in my eyes.
