We ventured out on a very frigid Saturday night for dinner. We dined at Taurasi, which we haven't…read moretried before. Sergio was warm and welcoming as he showed us to our table. We sat in the far back room, which felt like an overflow room. I wished we sat in the first dining room. (Note to self for next time ) We brought a couple bottles of wine from home. Corkage fee was $25 a bottle. I learned that this restaurant has a dual license so not only can you enjoy their large selection of wine while dining, but they sell their wine for 50% off of the wine list price to take home. Carol, our server, was personable and took good care of us. Our party of five shared two starters, the antipasto and the carpaccio. I was surprised that the carpaccio, although fresh and tasty, did not come with any grilled bread. I always order carpaccio at restaurants and it usually comes with crostini or grilled bread to put the thinly sliced beef on. I think that would be a nice addition to this starter. Taurasi makes homemade pasta so the five of us all had pasta dishes. My husband had Rigatoni Ragu Napoletano with an addition of a side of two meatballs. I had Ricotta Gnocchi alla Sorrentina. Both very good housemade pasta dishes. The side of meatballs were served with no sauce. I thought that was quite unusual. My husband and I split the meatballs so I asked our server to bring some sauce for the meatballs. The meatballs were full of flavor, soft and moist. It reminded me of my dad's meatballs. My friend who doesn't eat meat took a bite and asked for a second one. That says a lot about the taste of the meatballs. Sergio checked on us periodically to make sure we were enjoying our experience and then introduced us to the owner/chef Raffaele at the end of our meal. Raffaele is the one who curates the wine selection. He is a sommelier as well as the chef.. While talking to Raffaele, I asked about the pasta my husband and I learned to make on our trip to Tuscany last fall called pici, and he said he would make it for me even though it's not on the menu. Well, you know I'll be coming back to his restaurant again. Taurasi also hosts special wine events/ tastings and also has live music on occasion in the bar area. Outside of the minor glitches I had with where we were seated, the lack of grilled bread with the carpaccio and the sauceless meatballs, I would recommend this restaurant. The pasta is delicious and the service is good.

Saturday night date night was at this new-to-us restaurant. La Dolce Vita is an Italian restaurant…read morein an historic 1871 building in the downtown area. The restaurant on the ground floor is small with a bar area, but they also have an outdoor patio and a banquet room on the second floor for up to 200 people. Our server was Jose and he was friendly, attentive and provided good service. We started with a bottle of Chianti to share. We skipped the appetizer because we knew we wanted dessert instead. Entrées come with a salad and is served family style. The salad is mixed greens with olives, red onions and tomatoes dressed with an Italian vinaigrette. A basket of warm bread was brought to the table along with olive oil and parmesan cheese, which was a nice touch. However, the salad was overly dressed and the vinegar was on the heavy side where it catches in your throat because it's too much. I did like that a salad was included with the meal. My husband ordered the bistecca di manzo vesuvio and I had gnocchi. The food was just okay, but they do serve large portions. The steak vesuvio was described as a strip steak, but my husband did not receive a strip steak. The steak he was served was thick and round and a strip steak is usually long and thinner. Also, Vesuvio sauce is very garlicky with lots of oregano. Their sauce lacked flavor. The steak, however, was cooked perfectly to a medium rare. My gnocchi had a rich marinara sauce that was tasty, but the gnocchi were not light pillows of air. They were on the heavier chewy side, unfortunately. Disappointing. I had a side of meatballs to go along with my pasta, and the meatballs were soft. The best part of the meal was the dessert, though. The tiramisu was light and creamy and had great flavor with espresso and cinnamon, a classic Italian dessert. There were positives dining at La Dolce Vita, but it lacked the wow factor and one too many dislikes so this is a one-and-done dining experience for me.

It's a great spot to go for a casual/nice meal with the whole family or on a date! At our most recent trip, we had great quick service with a very friendly waitress. We appreciated that she expedited our toddlers food to come first- an unhappy toddler is unfortunate for all- so we were grateful. Already can't wait to visit again.

If you're anywhere near Westmont and craving incredible Italian food, do yourself a favor and check…read moreout Italiamo! We recently tried their pizza, chicken parm, and a seafood pasta dish and every single item was absolutely amazing. The pizza had the perfect balance of crispy crust and flavorful sauce, with fresh, high quality toppings that really stood out. The chicken parm was tender, perfectly breaded, and smothered in rich marinara and melted cheese, comfort food at its best. And the seafood pasta? Outstanding. Fresh, generous portions of seafood in a beautifully seasoned sauce that tied everything together. The only small downside is that it is a tad pricey, especially for the pizza. No pizza should really be over 25 dollars, it is cheese, dough, and sauce after all. That said, the quality and flavor definitely help justify it. You can tell they care about quality and authenticity. Great flavors, generous portions, and an overall fantastic dining experience. We will definitely be back!

Our waitress was super sweet and checked in often to make sure we had everything we needed, which made the experience even better.

It is also very kid friendly, with the space large enough for kids to walk around without interrupting other patrons. And the service of the support staff was top notch - even if our server was swamped with other tables, the support team also kept an eye on our table and ensured we had what we needed. For me personally, the food was too salty and too saucy (I had the eggplant parmigiana and we split a pizza). However, the complimentary bread with garlic olive oil was delicious, and the mocktail I had was easy to drink (a take on an Arnold Palmer), and my kids / husband particularly enjoyed the calamari. While this won't be a regular staple, it was nice to try!

Located in the strip mall adjacent to the Burr Ridge Village Center, parking can be a bit difficult for the weekend's prime time. They do also offer valet for $11. They have a main dining space, bar area, outdoor patio, and four-seasons dining space. The inside is dimly lite but has large trees in the center to create an elevated atmosphere. Our group decided to share a bottle of Pinot Grigio white wine which was placed in an ice bucket tableside to keep chilled. Complimentary bread was offered and all entrees have a starter house salad or soup included in the price. We each got a pasta or chicken entree chose their house salad to start. I got the Rigatoni All Mia which had homemade noodles, fresh vodka sauce, and I asked for sliced sausage over crumbled. The pasta was perfectly al dente and portion was ideal for a hearty meal and leftovers. We each thoroughly enjoyed what we ordered. Our server was great about being attentive and overheard we were celebrating a birthday to have a complimentary cheesecake given to us. What a great dinner experience and happy to revisit a neighborhood hotspot.

On the day of the event, we were greeted by an extraordinary team who truly dedicated themselves to making this a perfect day for my daughter and our family. A special thank you to Matt, Stephanie, Julio, Devon, and Andre for going above and beyond in every way--making sure every detail was in place, setting up early with us, and consistently checking in to make sure the bride and I as the host were okay. The staff was incredibly attentive to every guest, always asking if they needed anything and making sure everyone felt comfortable and cared for. Everything came together flawlessly, the timing of the event was perfect, and the food was absolutely unbelievable--I received so many compliments from guests on both the impeccable service and the best Italian food they've ever had. A big thank you to the Chef and his team. It's clear that ownership has cultivated something extraordinary here. Hiring a team that treats every guest with such warmth and dedication shows a commitment to creating experiences that are unforgettable. This will be a day I will never forget. They didn't just host an event--they gave my daughter the shower of her dreams. Every moment was meaningful, beautiful, and filled with love. I am forever grateful to the entire team for making it so incredibly special.
