    Absolutely incredible food, incredible staff, and incredible vibes. This is the perfect spot for a…read moreweekday dinner or a fun weekend night out. Couldn't recommend it enough. The Untraditional Chicken & Eggplant Parmesan was unreal, so flavorful and just done perfectly. The staff are amazing and truly make you feel so welcome. It's the kind of place you just want to keep coming back to.

    Yesterday evening, May 9, 2026, my girlfriend and I ate at this restaurant. We had a 7:30…read morereservation at one of the high-top tables near the bar. After being seated, we waited about 15 minutes before someone brought us bread and asked for our drink order. About 30 minutes later, no one had come back to take our food order, so I had to go up to the host stand and ask if someone could come over to help us. When our order was finally taken, my girlfriend ordered pasta and I ordered the bone-in chicken Vesuvio. The waiter did not write down the order, and the ticket was entered incorrectly as boneless chicken Vesuvio. When our food finally came out around 8:45 to 9:00, the owner brought it to the table. I told him that I had ordered the bone-in chicken Vesuvio, but he said the ticket said boneless and that remaking it would take another 30 minutes. At that point, I decided to eat it rather than wait even longer. When the check came, I noticed that the boneless chicken had a two-dollar surcharge compared to the bone-in option. I asked the owner to remove the charge since I had ordered the bone-in chicken. His response was, "You ordered boneless chicken and now you want me to take off the two dollars when you ate it... fine. I'll take off two dollars." I felt blamed for a mistake that was not mine. As the guest, I ordered my meal correctly, waited a long time for service, received the wrong dish, and then was spoken to as if I had caused the issue. Because of the poor service and the way the situation was handled, my girlfriend and I do not plan to return and would not recommend this restaurant to others. Additionally, the food was mediocre. We have been there are several times and I've really enjoyed our previous experiences. Unfortunately, this experience has pushed us away.

    Hands down the best Italian restaurant in McHenry County...and easily our go-to for date nights…read more We've been here multiple times, and I can honestly say we've never had a bad dish. The food is consistently incredible, and the portions are huge...you'll definitely be taking some home for lunch the next day. One thing that really sets Cucina Bella apart is the layout and atmosphere. They have three distinct seating areas, and each gives you a totally different experience. If you're looking for a more upbeat, lively vibe, grab a table near the bar. For a quieter, more romantic date night, the main dining room is perfect. They also have an overflow dining area, which is great when they're busy (and they usually are for a reason). The wine selection is excellent, and the bar staff can make just about any cocktail you're in the mood for. Whether you're celebrating something special, going out on a first date, or just want a great Italian meal, this place delivers every time. If you're anywhere near Algonquin and craving Italian, this spot is an absolute must!

I am a…read moreLake Geneva type of guy and sorry not sorry Lake Geneva but our pizza sucks and none of it is worth talking about. So whenever I am around this spot I practically run to it. This is a nice cozy spot with New York style thin crust being the main draw here. They serve more than just pizza but trust me you come here for the pizza. They have slices up front that are put into an oven right upfront as well before serving ensuring a crispy and warm slice. We got a 14 inch cheese pie and got it well done. We didn't even get to eat it at home because we ate it on the way home because we were that excited to eat it! You can expect a light airy crispy slice with a good sauce to cheese ratio as well. This pizza rocks and I recommend it to everyone who comes through this area. I come from a restaurant background that includes management so I was rather impressed by something I saw in there while I was waiting. Every single kid that was in there was working and very attentive to their individual tasks at hand, not a single person just going through the motions or standing around . These kids/employees are coached very very well and it really shows up in the product and their attention to detail. Please come here if you value good pizza and great service!!

Their crust is wonderful, I would love to know how they make their dough and what flour they use. Best slice shop around by far, there's a side room attached to the main entrance but limited seating. More a quick bite or takeout/delivery place. I spent $14.95 on one specialty slices plus two cheese slices and a drink. Super affordable.

    My wife and I have been coming here for a long time. More when we lived closer. Now, we have to…read morego out of our way to eat here. Always a very good experience. On Friday night, May 15 coming home from Lake Geneva we took rte 14 specifically so we could stop here, sans reservation. Sat at the bar and kibitzed with bartender, Kyle. My wife had Tagliatelle al Bosco which she raved about and I had my often go-to, pizza. In a moment of insanity I added anchovies. Pizza was, as usual, very good if not extra salty. Not their fault, mine. Kyle recommended the dessert of something ('Italian-sounding') fried, with very mild cheese inside which was terrific. Had a very good time, as usual. I enjoy this place. Four stars is 'exceptional' from me.

We ordered the bruschetta and charcuterie board off the happy hour. The charcuterie board was just a meat & cheese board- it was good but don't except something grand. The bruschetta was delicious, some of the best. I love that the toast is thin so you can taste the tomatoes and cheese more. For main entrees my mom got the chicken parmigiana with rigatoni noodles and I got the lobster ravioli with no spinach. I loved the lobster ravioli and will go back just for this dish. I was not a fan of the chicken parm.
