The restaurant has a warm and welcoming atmosphere as soon as you walk in. Our meals were delicious and bountiful. The service was helpful with good suggestions and responsive. It's definitely worth a visit. read more

Chicken Parm tasted like Spaghettios. Everyone gave it 5/10 at my table, waitress was nice. Just seemed cheap and the portions were small for the appetizers. Like 3 pieces of this or that. read more

I have been to Osteria Ottimo many times and last night I was there with another couple. 3 of us ordered the Lobster Bisque and it was not flavorful at all and had NO lobster in it at all, all 3 bowls were just a creamy soup with no lobster and minimal flavor. I also ordered what I always order when I go to Osteria Ottimo the Parmesan crusted boat scallops, potato prosciutto hash, pistachio, scallions, white wine sauce, balsamico. Usually they are great and I have recommended this dish to may people, last night I was so disappointed, they were barley room temperature, and the scallops had NO Parmesan crust at all. This dish is expensive and our table was very disappointed. The service was good but the soup and scallops were not, not sure if they hired a new cook but not sure if we'll be back either.

I went here for an event and the food was delicious. Everything was fresh. The room is small and cozy so maybe not great for a large group but would recommend for a smaller family meal or date night. read more

An unassuming storefront hides a super high quality restaurant inside. Let's face it, the exterior facade of this building kind of looks like its going to be mediocre. But assuming that is a big mistake! The service was excellent, everything we had was great. The prices are even reasonable. Frankly, I would have paid more for this quality of food. Our excellent server Daniel and his twin brother Carlo treat everyone like they're guests in their home. They made us feel very welcome. The drinks are strong but not just alcohol overload (sometimes I think places do this to cover up other faults). I could actually taste the other flavors with my vodka which isn't the case in many places. Bread was nice, fresh, but nothing to write home about. Coffee was strong and the calamari was perfect. They even had home-made ranch; I didn't expect ranch at a Italian restaurant - let alone good ranch. Onto the main courses, the Lasagna was excellent, the sausage was so flavorful, I could have been satisfied just with that and the salad. The steak was massive and rivaled steaks I've had at Wildfire and Gibsons for double the price. The desserts were perfect too. So many restaurants hide their mediocrity behind too powerful drinks and too sugary desserts but not this place. We will definitely be back! read more

I usually never have a complaint here but they did something different with the lentils on the salmon dish and they tasted like baked beans/ were way too sweet. The grilled calamari was over-salted read more

Outstanding dinner at Osteria Ottimo. They offer both indoor and outdoors seating however outdoor wasn't available during my visit but that was most likely due to the weather. Bread and butter service is brought to the table prior to ordering and it's so good you'll want to get more. Warm Italian bread with a little crust on the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside along with the butter that is loaded with herbs and seasonings that was delicious. My server told me what was in it but it was too many things to remember or list. Chicken Parm and pasta was all perfectly prepared and I'm a harsh critic when it comes to chicken parm. Pasta cooked perfect and the sauce was not overly sweet or spicy but it had a great tomato flavor. 2 small chicken breast with a light breading, not a hard shell like you'll find elsewhere, covered in that sauce and topped with melty cheese. Shout out to my server Daniel for the amazing service. Great overall experience! The only negative is they add 3% to every check if you pay by credit card which is starting to be a bad trend in restaurants. read more

Went in for Valentine's day. They were obviously packed, but the food was delivered without delay. Awesome Italian dinner, drinks, and dessert! read more

I ordered the brick chicken which I found tasty, a little less salt would have been nice but overall decent. I did not enjoy the use of fries in this plate. Some fingerling potatoes and carrots would have been a nice balance instead of the fries and I wish the chef would take this into consideration. I went on a Wednesday night and it was pretty busy. The restaurant is clean and the waitress was very nice. read more

Lovely place with delicious food. Servers are very friendly & service is great. Never had a bad meal here. Love their fish. And desserts

In town on business. Ordered takeout in the restaurant. Wait was not long and they seemed to be getting busy. Food was delicious! I'm usually a bit weary when getting Italian, so I went with the basic Fettuccine Alfredo without chicken. It was so creamy and the sauce was so thick and stuck to the noodles so well. Noodles were cooked perfectly. Had enough for two meals! I'm excited to try more things now! read more

Wonderful place! Had my daughters Bridal shower here. The staff is very attentive to your needs.. I was very pleased. I highly recommend them for a private party or Friday dinner you won't be disappointed. read more

Food was ok. A little pricey in my opinion. White tablecloth dining. Might be good for date night or special occasion.

Delicious food and atmosphere. Enjoyed the specials and the food was hot and the service was top notch!

They brought the burrata back - def worth trying. The Ravioli Rosa is full on craveable - nobody's ravioli is as good.

Excellent Italian food. Best bruschetta I've ever had. I had the grouper and it was cooked perfectly.

Great food and menu with specials that are always delicious. Fantastic service every time. Cute charming place. Great for date night

Delicious Italian cuisine. The ambiance is very relaxed and the guests move in and out quickly. The pasta dishes taste homemade and every entree we've ever had has always been delicious. I recommend the eggplant and calamari. read more

We had dinner at Ottimo tonight and it was wonderful. Kate was our server and was just right. Carlos our bus boy was great as well. He offered us boxes for our leftovers and brought fresh bread and butter for us to take home. I had the ravioli and my husband had the eggplant parmigiana. Both entrees were delicious and we have enough for another meal. We will be back!! read more

Came to Ottimo on the recommendation of a friend. He said to get the scallops. He wasn't wrong. They were cooked to perfection. My husband and I both got the scallops. Creme brûlée for dessert you can't go wrong. Restaurant was crowded on a Wednesday night which is a testament to how good the food is. The service is top notch. We didn't have to wait for anything. Come dressed or casual. read more

Everything is perfect at this restaurant. The food, the service, the ambiance, it's all 5 star. It's the BEST!

The octopus was delicious as was the salmon. The sauce was spicy delicious! The beet salad was not good. The salad was gritty-obviously the greens had not been rinsed. Service was good. Price was good. Will go back but the salad dampened the whole experience. read more

Always a great meal. Service is great. Tight seating but the atmosphere is good enough you don't really notice. Try the Pork Chop, Colette Di Mailiale, exceptional presentation, one of the best chops in the Chicago area. read more

Absolutely delicious food, great service. Fun for a date or party. I've been for showers and Christmas parties.

Exceptional service and food. Loved the grilled calamari with chipotle aioli and grilled lemon. Provisimo! Beet salad delicious. Compound butter such a nice touch on crispy bread. Pasta dishes were ordered were very flavorful! Great portions! Outdoor option is nice to have for mild nights. Great experience! read more

Last night, my husband, son and I came for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. This morning we both said to each other that was the best meal we've had in a really long time! From the drinks, French Martini and Vodka Martini straight up with blue cheese olives, to the appetizers, Giant Meatball and grilled calamari, our meal, the dessert, volcano cake the best! and cappuccino, as well as the staff, it was a five star experience for us! We've been there a few times and we always seem to order scallop meal which never disappoints and is always amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Delish food every time in the most unexpected location-- a suburban strip mall. Service is solid, the ambiance is nice, music is soft and compliments the experience. It's a 75 minute drive for us but close to our families and always a great choice that never disappoints. Outside seating when the weather is nice near the fountain is a must. read more

Food and service was great!!! Can't wait to go back again! Steak was cooked just right!

Have been here a few times and have always had a great meal. This last time, we started with a salad that had apple, cranberry, cheese, and pine nuts which was fresh and tasty. I had the swordfish special which was delicious and a very generous portion. It had a nice butter sauce and a panzanella salad. The service was great and the atmosphere is cozy. I will definitely be back to try more! read more

Monday evening birthday dinner. The food was decent and the service was excellent. One thing to note is that the menu on their website is much larger than the menu at the restaurant for some reason. Also, the place is called Osteria but there are no oysters listed on either menu. The place was packed and the tables are a little tight but overall a good dining experience. My smoked old fashioned and the grilled calamari appetizer were the highlight of the night for me. read more

Osteria Ottimo - Customized shrimp pasta dish - Italian Near Me - Orland Park, Illinois

Ambiance: Very nice Service: Very nice servers. But need training Food: There are many Italian restaurants close to where we live here in Las Vegas. My wife and I travel 19 miles to visit this restaurant. If you like Chicken Parmigiana, you will not find a Restaurant in Las Vegas with better Chicken Parmigiana. They serve Jidori chicken that is more than half inch thick and when properly cooked you can cut it with your fork. If you are not familiar with Jidori chicken, it's expensive to purchase and it's eaten raw in Japan. read more

Excellent food and service! Only drawback is limited space. On a busy night,they seat you at very small tables, food barely fits on table, and your sitting very close to next table. Very uncomfortable! read more

Service was fair. Not much to eat on the lunch menu for a carnivore. Had the antipasto platter. Didn't care for the cheese and the not much of a meat selection for the price. read more

Do NOT get the veal from this place. I ordered the veal parmesan and it was horrible. You can tell that the veal had been frozen for a long time. It was like chewing on a piece of leather. Ate a few tasteless pieces and that was it. Order the chicken!! read more
