Could not have nicer things to say about working with My Chef and Jamie Walsh for our wedding day…read morecatering. We met Jamie at our venue's vendor expo and were immediately impressed by their services, pricing, and vast food offerings. It was a no brainer to book with their group! We had our tasting a couple months before our wedding day; which is complimentary to the couple and a $50 charge for any additional guest to join. They have you select 8-10 appetizers, 2 salads, and 4 entrees to taste at their Naperville location. They also have displays of china, silverware, glasses and more to help couples select what aligns aesthetically for their special day. Jamie worked with us to make small modifications to their standard offerings to make the food exactly what we wanted! Our wedding day came and we were floored by the quality/presentation of food, level of detail in place settings, and service from all staff members. We had multiple guests say that this was some of the best wedding food they've had, steaks were not over cooked, and food tasted fresh. Jamie also let us add desserts a week out to reallocate money from a couple of guests who last minute were unable to attend. Their team was even nice enough to service items not purchased through their group: disposables for the late night snack, display and refilling of cupcakes, etc. Overall, their group went above and beyond for us under Jamie's leadership. Our tables looked great, our food was wonderful, and their team was fabulous. We truly appreciate all they've done for us and could not recommend them more!

Honestly, I think four stars is generous. We had a big group and most of us enjoyed our food so…read morefour stars it is. We were seated immediately, and our waitress was very friendly. For the most part, she was very attentive as well. There was a point when she disappeared for a while whether on her break or something else I don't know. Nothing else was timely: the drinks, the food , the check, etc. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy my meal. The minestrone soup was OK. It came in this tiny banquet hall sized cup. The overall flavor of the chicken cacciatore was good, but it was extremely salty. Half of my chicken was,sadly dry. Sauce can only make up for so much. The atmosphere was fine. It was typical of a contemporary Italian restaurant. It did not feel cramped as the ceilings were high and the tables were spread out well. Everything seemed to be in good working order and clean. Typically, this would be the type of place I would give a second chance. Unfortunately, the people who invited us to dinner did make the comment that this restaurant wasn't what it used to be. The food times and quality were not up to previous standards. So what do I say about this place? I think they do try but the kitchen is their Achilles heel. While I cannot in good conscience Recommend them; it might end up being worth giving them a try when they are a little less busy.

We had to be seated in the bar with only high-tops only available. A very noisy environment. You couldn't hear any music. Our waitress was promptly at our table. The menu is laid out very well. A very good selection of Italian foods with good prices for the portions. They serve secondary soft drinks. No Coke. You can't be number one if you don't serve number one. Melissa took our orders and the food was served promptly and hot. She was very attentive, polite and was on top of everything. 8 TV's. One not on. Two others with stagnant pictures. The place I clean. The washroom is big enough for the restaurant. Lacking in paper towels. Only cold water for washing your hands. Not good if you have dirty hands. Over all a 7. The best part was our service. 3% added to the bill if paid by card.

We had the challenge of trying to do a COVID-era memorial for our mother, and the way Donna helped…read moreus pull it off was nothing short of miraculous! I'd heard from a few members of my mother's club about Taste of Home. I haven't lived in the area for quite some time, so all I could do was trust their experience; and I was so glad I did. I explained the need to put our socially-distancing guests at ease with a range of outdoor, afternoon finger food that was individually-wrapped. Donna recommended an array of appetizer sandwiches and cookies that turned out to be real crowd pleasers! Eliminating the use for any utensils was certainly the way to go, and as if to underline that point, trays of non-wrapped cookies and cakes that people brought were hardly touched. My family is so pleased with the outcome, my area siblings are all looking into using Taste of Home for family dinners. We believe in keeping our purchasing as local as possible during this economic uncertainty, and Taste of Home has provided another great Hinsdale option for when cooking is better off done by someone else. Their menu offers great variety for any sort of audience or occasion, so before you order a pizza for the umpteenth time, give Donna and her team a go! Thanks ever, Donna! On a day when I had zero bandwidth for orchestrating a light meal for 40 people, you came through brilliantly! (Insert hearts and stars here!)

After being seated, we waited about 15 minutes without anyone acknowledging us or even bringing us water. During those 15 minutes, another party was seated at the table next to us. Almost immediately, a waitress came over with waters for them. She noticed that we didn't have any and told us, "I'll be right back with some waters for you." Instead, she returned without the waters and proceeded to take the neighboring table's order, even though we had been seated about 15 minutes before they arrived. At that point, it was clear we weren't being attended to, so we got up and left. We understand that restaurants can get busy, but simply being acknowledged and treated in the order we arrived would have made a big difference. Unfortunately, this experience left us feeling overlooked, and we won't be returning
