    Lots of hungry people who aren't able to get inside for over 30 minutes past their reservation.

    We made a reservation to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday. They have a strict policy about charging a credit card for not showing up for reservations but apparently don't care about having dozens of people standing outside for a half hour waiting to get in. Nobody bothered to come out and explain why the line didn't move and they are clearly dysfunctional. We will NEVER try this place again since their poor management ruined our birthday plans. I'm sure many are in agreement.

    A layered dessert featuring pink, green, and white layers, topped with a light dusting of powder, served on a ceramic plate. A small metal pitcher and a spoon are placed on the plate, with a glass bowl of ice cream or sorbet in the background. The setting appears to be a restaurant or cafe with dim lighting and wooden furniture.

    First time at Lucia Rose! Greeted immediately and seated right away! At first glance the restaurant has a beautiful ambiance with low lights. Complimentary bread and butter given while we look at the menu. For our appetizers we got the Burrata & the Fritto Misto - the Fritto Misto was fire! For our main entrees we got the Margherita Pizza and the Spicy Rigatoni Pasta w/ Chicken - both were good and worth trying. Definitely recommend this place to all in downtown Wheaton.

    This place is a great vibe with a slick modern decor and some really friendly staff. The food is well prepared and tastes super fresh. HIGHLY recommend the meatballs and the wood-free pizza. Definitely will be back again to sample order menu items.

    had a reservation for a girls night. really welcoming on the inside. comfortable seating and really nice and unique plating. servers were nice and informative. i had gotten the amalfi spritz and it was pretty good id recommend. for food we had gotten a Margherita 10/10 everything was super fresh and amazing sauce. also got the spicy rigatoni 9/10 good flavoring and sauce just a tad too spicy. i'd come back.

    I got the penne arrabbiata and it had just the right level of heat. The tomato sauce was vibrant and seasoned with fresh herbs, nothing too fancy but so tasty. Pasta was al dente and the portion was generous. We had a friendly waiter who refilled our drinks often and made us feel welcome. The dining area was bright and modern, a great place for a quick lunch or casual dinner. They also brought out fresh bread to start, which was a nice touch. Will be coming back with my pasta-loving friends.

    Stopped here for lunch on a Sunday and was seated right away. It was completely empty inside which doesn't make sense to me - the food, atmosphere and service are excellent! The restaurant is designed very well. It's beautiful, elegant and well kept. It's a city/posh vibe with colors that are neutral and inviting with an accent of a deep emerald green. For food I tried the caprese salad which was light and refreshing. The portion is fairly large so this is a salad that can be shared. I also tried the tartufo wood fired pizza and it was delicious. The flavors are well balanced and overall a solid pizza - this is also fairly large and can be shared. I recommend ordering a few diff things and just sharing with everything you're with.

    Rainbow cookie ice cream cake - A slice of rainbow cake with layers of white, red, and green frosting topped with crushed pistachios is presented on a white plate at a restaurant. The cake is served with a small metal cup of sauce or syrup, and there are two spoons on a floral-patterned plate in the foreground. A person wearing a light-colored hoodie and black shirt is seated at the table, with part of their arm visible. The background suggests an indoor dining environment.

    In town visiting, and very pleased with our dinner and dessert here! Please give this place your business. They know what they're doing in terms of service, vibes and food. Immediately greeted and seated with the friendly hostess. Immediately given water and bread. Pasta was fresh, reminded us of when we visited Rome. Same with the decor and ambiance. 100% recommend Lucia Rose if you want great service and incredible food. Can't forget we got the rainbow cookie ice cream cake with pistachios on top. Delicious!

    Patina Wine Bar - Lava cake dessert.  Was perfect

    Patina Wine Bar

    (40 reviews)

    We've heard very good things about Patina and we're excited to try it tonight. As soon as we…read morewalked in the staff was very kind and attentive. We love the ambiance of the restaurant. It's very peaceful, romantic and a calm atmosphere. All of the food was delicious. The plating is so attractive! The dishes have great flavor but are healthier options. The portion sizes were perfect for what we desired. I'm not exaggerating when I say this was the best branzino I've ever had. The skin was crunchy and delicious. But the fish was not dry at all! There's nothing better than a juicy branzino fish and chef Jose nailed it! Matching with the sauce and beans was so much better than any other veggies or starch. The octopus was also cooked to perfection. The flavor and temperature was just right. Not too hot and such a great texture. We don't always order desserts but we had to see every course of the menu. We decided to go with a lava cake and it did not disappoint. It had that perfect contrast of hot and cold but it's served with gelato which gives it a nice touch of texture compared to standard ice cream. Chef Jose came out and introduced himself. We came in because we were enticed by a beef tartare that was on their menu in the past. We're hoping he brings it back on a special sometime soon. He said to give him a call and he'll try to accommodate whenever possible to make his customers happy. What an amazing restaurant. We cannot wait to come back and see what's new. Thank you for an amazing dinner and night!

    Revisited after the full kitchen moved here from their other location. A superb experience! Our…read moreserver was incredibly attentive and friendly. The vibe here definitely meets a park ridge niche that nothing else does - intimate but elevated, a great date night place. Excellent cocktails and decent portions. Tuna tower was a fun app and we ordered lamb chops and a pasta for our mains. My only wish is that they had a slightly larger menu. I hope they add to it or do seasonal offerings because the selection is not too large and we pretty much maxed out what we'd be interested in trying in one visit. But they did it well and we enjoyed the Valentine's Day touched around the restaurant!

Reviews were good so we came in on a Monday evening. The interior is so cute! Velvety comfy green chairs at the wine bar, smaller lounge tables and couches in the rest of the place. There is a separate room for gaming. We sat at the bar and were warmly greeted by Aria L. She was so courteous and helpful, offering us suggestions on the wines and snacks. They have a great happy hour from 4-7p for $20 wine bottle which is fantastic. The house white was good, although they ran out after a glass and I went for the Simi sauvignon blanc which was so good. The parmesan truffle fries are a MUST. Just $8.99 for a nice sized bowl of crisp, tasty fries with fresh parmesan shaved on top. MM! I had the 12" cheese lovers pizza which had burrata cheese on top oh my GOSH that is gooooood. It's rich so I had plenty of leftovers for the next day. My friend got the 12" Diavola pizza which she loved. My other friend got the Italian panini ($13.99) which he said he was not that crazy about, but he did enjoy the atmosphere and the Guiness. It is a chill place to have a nice conversation without having to compete with loud music or chatter. We are planning to revisit the next time I am here, this was a very enjoyable evening.

    Super impressed with this new place in town. We went for a glass of wine and some small plates. The…read moreservice was outstanding warm and friendly. The place was relaxing and cozy and welcoming. I do have to say I hated the slots, but that seems to be the thing in North Riverside now. They're turning into a mini Vegas. I will return and sit outside. I need to try the coffee next !
