I need to update the review, as Tutto Dolce now serves savory (dinner-type) Italian food as well as…read moreall the desserts I love, since their restaurant next door has closed. So the space here is mostly taken up with pizza boxes and a long food service table, with a narrowish aisle to order your food / desserts. They have meatballs; various pizza slices and whole pizzas (unlike the new place next door, they'll serve you slices all day); lasagna and manicotti. There are other things but I'm a vegetarian so I zone out the minute I see "sausage." Vegetarian? They default to a marinara red sauce and vegetable is one of the default slices. I didn't see eggplant parmesan on the menu, but they told me if I ask for it (advance notice would be helpful) they'll make it. Entrees are served hot. The manicotti and lasagna are delicious; the manicotti is not a big pan but a take-out container with two manicotti rolls; will feed one hungry person but wouldn't be enough for two people. Service is still friendly although the space is now a little cramped. The cake and gelato, etc. are still delicious, so I stand by everything I said about dessert in my earlier review.

The gelato here is really good!I stopped by after having some Thai food and it was worth it…read more Quality- I sampled their home made pumpkin and pistachio flavor. It was better than most gelato places I've been to. I can taste the ingredients well. Quantity- they give a fair amount for the price. 2 scoops for 6 bucks. Atmosphere- I like walking in and seeing the spinning gelato machines. I'm sure it is a go to spot for glen bard west nearby. Service- the guy was very friendly.

Lezza Bakery is absolutely amazing! Their cannoli cake is one of the best I've ever had, and their…read morefresh cannolis are made daily and always taste delicious. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. If you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, wedding, or any special occasion, Lezza Bakery creates gorgeous custom cakes that are not only beautifully decorated but also incredibly fresh and moist. Their attention to detail is outstanding. Their desserts are wonderful as well, with a great variety to choose from. Don't miss their sfogliatelle and tiramisu--they are absolutely delicious and a must-try! The quality, freshness, and customer service keep me coming back. I highly recommend Lezza Bakery for all your bakery and dessert needs!

They are thoughtfully decorated and there are so many options to choose from. I was getting some for a gift for my father birthday and chose a medium variety pack that has 14 spaces where I was able to select each one I wanted .

A cute spot for dessert! They had a great selection of ice cream flavors. I tried their Gooey…read moreButter and Pumpkin flavors, and both were so yummy! They had the perfect amount of creaminess and sweetness, and the pumpkin flavor especially reminded me of fall. I really liked their outdoor dining area. You're surrounded by beautiful, elevated planters filled with flowers, which makes the space feel very inviting. I also appreciated that they use metal spoons for sampling their ice cream instead of plastic. Such a nice, eco-friendly touch! Great service, too! The only downside is that if you're unfamiliar with the layout of the mall, the shop can be difficult to find from the parking lot. My GPS kept telling me I had arrived, but I was still in the parking garage! Jeni's is actually a couple of floors above where I was. Other than the parking situation, I definitely will be back to try more of their flavors!

The last time I had Jeni's ice-cream was when I was in Houston. First thing is first, I love the sample spoons they give you. It's like actual mini silverware- I'm use to wooden sticks. The employees were patient and kind. The inside is beautiful with plenty of seating, but since it was such a gorgeous day I opted to sit outside. And of course the ice cream was delicious. I got the butter cream birthday cake and the honey vanilla. Truly tasty. I'm happy I finally caught up with the rest of the world and discovered this gem at Oakbrook!

During our visit we spent more than a few minutes exploring everything they had to offer and finally was able to make a few selections. I have to hand it to Sweet Street, they know how to make it irresistible to leave without buying something! One can only imagine this place being very popular with kids!

Great service, great ice cream!

Okkkkkkk. I have high standards for ice cream, especially when it comes to my dipped cones…read more The zero ice is fast and friendly. Everyone working there genuinely looks like they like working there. They're kind and give suggestions. They understate how large everything is, but that maybe a good thing so they could up sell. The negative experience for me was that I was aching for a sprinkle dipped cone. I got a large ice cream and dipped. It turns out it's hard to dip a cone that is beyond large (I was told it was going to be smaller which is why I ordered the L, but that's ok). The dude that took care of my cone tried real hard to cater to my needs, which made this a better experience, but if you grew up with a dipped cone, then you know the lively taste of a dipped cone. The flavor of the soft serve was good too, but it didn't have the smooth consistency I was looking for. It's hard to explain what I'm trying to say...it could've been smoother. I'll try this place again with a smaller cone, but everyone enjoyed their cones. You could get different varieties of dipped and sundaes. They also have hot food and I want to try that out.

This is a really small restaurant, so I would make reservations just to be safe. Immediately after being seated, we were brought delicious bread and butter, and water. We ordered drinks, which came out very quickly. We ordered Pappardelle Bolognese, Linguine Volpole (fresh clams), and Lasagna. The entrees were served with either soup (Minestrone), or Salad. The salad was fresh, and was served with a delicious Ranch dressing. The Minestrone was chock full of fresh vegetables, and was very good. It was served hot...and was clearly homemade. All three of the entrees were beyond delicious. The Lasagna was the best I've ever had. We split a Tiramisu for dessert. It was very good, but it was served layered in a glass vs being served on a plate or in a bowl, so it made sharing very difficult. The prices were reasonable; our entrees were between $24-$30. The Tiramisu was a little pricey @ $9. Service was impeccable. Note there is no parking lot, so street or public parking only. We had no trouble finding a spot, but that might be different on a weekend night. I highly recommend Made In Italy Trattoria.

Right at the front of the entrance you first smell the freshly popped corn and you know you are about to buy a bag. Who can resist fresh popcorn? The owner is super friendly and gave us a sample of kettle corn. My friend got the mix that had cheddar and kettle corn. I got a huge bag of salted popcorn which was crunchy, lightly salted and had just the right amount of oil. I would have taken a pic but my mom and I have inhaled more than half the bag already haha. I like how their ingredients for the kettle corn are so simple: corn, corn oil, pure cane sugar and salt. That's it! Their website shows they are at a TON of local farmers markets all summer and fall. Check out their site to find their next event, you must try a bag of their popcorn!

They're light, have a good balance of saltiness, and are crispy. I bought the Chicago style mix. It has both flavors and I almost finished the bag in one sitting.
