This was out first time after reading some recommendations on Facebook, we were so happy to find this spot! The ambiance is great, and the place is clean and well taken care of. The waitstaff is amazing, our waitress was so kind and did a great job. The pizza is taverns style, thin crust and delicious. My husband is a pizza snob, and he loved it! The chicken versuvio was a great portion and very well done. My daughter loved her angel hair alfredo. Overall, the food felt special, it was all well done. We can't wait to go back! read more

Friendly service nice beer selection and the lasagna was lots of cheese and sauce and tasty. I asked to be wheaten in a quieter section of restaurant and they were happy to do it. Which is great . read more

Good daily specials. Staff is so friendly and very kind vibes. Quite a lot of people I thought for a Monday evening and lots of repeat customers. Kids get a free scoop of ice cream with a kids meal! read more

Great value, large portions. Nothing tremendous, just good food. My waitress was really nice and had a nice smile! She could probably teach a thing or two to people in the industry. Had the chicken picatta, nice tangy sauce with a good amount of capers. I asked for linguine instead of angel hair, cooked perfectly. Salad was quite large, could probably feed two people. Bread was ok. read more

First time here with the kids and it was a great experience. The food was good, service was on point, and the ambiance is great! Love the fact that they have basically the same menu in GF! I've never seen that before and can really appreciate that. Prices are decent considering portion sizes. Will be coming back for sure. read more

First the staff was beyond nice and friendly, our server Lacey was so friendly and an all around great server. The owner Paul came by the table ask how we were doing, talked a few minutes and was a really nice guy. We had pizza and lasagna. The pizza was nice and thin crust and crispy. The sauce and sausage were really good. The lasagna was really good as well, really big piece you get with soup or salad, we had mushroom barley soup again really good. And something so simple as garlic bread was one of the best garlic bread I've ever had. Inside is decorated really nice, they have a dining room, they have a separate room I think for parties and they also have a bar. It was nice and clean too. We will definitely be going back. We are not gluten free but I know ppl who are and they have a big gluten free menu! read more

We had a pizza luncheon at Traversos for 75 people today. The pizzas were great. Service was perfect. Our group was very happy. Highly recommend for party events. Their dinners are also wonderful and offer a full gluten free menu too! read more

Brings back the days when restaurants were places where family, friends and neighbors could all hang out without the drama. Great food, wonderful people and an amazing atmosphere. read more

Thursday night @ 6:15. Promptly seated, and almost immediately approached by Char, our server. Ordered drinks, and perused an expansive Italian offerings menu. Settled on Angel Hair pasta with meat sauce, and an Italian beef sandwich. Pasta came with soup or salad; beef came with fries. I had the minestrone, which was very good. Server delivered a basket of warm French bread along with the soup. The beef sandwich was delicious...a very generous portion of beef, served with beautiful sweet peppers. The pasta was huge. A ginormous bowl of noodles topped with a rich flavorful meat sauce. If I was nitpicking, my only comment would be that there could have been more sauce for such a huge bowl of pasta, but it was absolutely delicious. Great food. Great service. True family feel. Highly recommend. read more

We always love the charm of this place with good food and notable customer service. Was almost besides myself tonight, despite already having high expectations... a man who either owned or managed the place made sure to give a genuine hello when I waited for take out. Everyone was truly kind and helpful. Food is great as always. Got home and realized they didn't send us off with our pizza and they had it bright to us with no hesitation and everyone was so apologetic and kind about it I was in utter disbelief. You don't get that care in many places and I think it speaks volumes of the owners, management, and likely kitchen staff as well read more

Been driving by this place for 2 years and the parking lot is always packed. Decided to give it a try tonight and luckily we were seated with no issue at 6:00. Tuesdays is $20 chicken night and it includes soup or salad. Both of us went for the chicken and weren't disappointed, a solid choice with leftovers for tomorrow. read more

Recently had a funeral luncheon there. We expected a lot smaller party than we had, and they amazingly made it work! They saved the day! Everyone was friendly and worked their hardest to keep everyone happy! The food was amazing, like always, and I just wanted to give them a high five! Thanks for making it an incredible afternoon! See you soon! read more

The place is always full, but I don't know what the hype is all about! Service was okay, food was meh - the chicken marsala was the weird - the mushrooms had a burnt wine taste and over all unpalatable, the linguini carbonara was too al dente, the lemon chicken wings had a good sauce but the wings were too burnt to absorb the sauce. Overall a very unpleasant dining experience! read more

Nestled in the streets of Naperville this cute little place has good vibes. The ambiance is cozy yet vibrant, perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a romantic evening. This is a family owned business and the owners personally took care of the customers.

Whether you're a fan of classic Margherita or adventurous enough to try their signature Traverso Special, each pie is crafted with care and attention to detail. But pizza isn't the only star of the menu. Traverso also offers a tantalizing selection of appetizers, salads, and pasta dishes, each bursting with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Don't miss their homemade tiramisu for dessert - it's the perfect sweet ending to a delightful meal. Service at Traverso is warm and attentive, with staff members who are passionate. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you'll feel like part of the family from the moment you walk in.

Rubbery cheese, bland sauce, tasteless crust and greasy sausage. Another disappointment...

Local place so I find myself a patron. The food is good, but for the price, the portions do not compare to competition (see: Clara's in Woodridge). Honestly my biggest gripe is the antiquated takeout. Landline with two lines. If you try to order takeout between the hours of 5-7pm, you likely will need to try for 15 minutes. They've also messed up takeout orders and been more than casually late with the pickup times. Don't get me wrong though, the food is quality and if you're dining in, you won't leave disappointed. read more

Traversos's is an absolute must for pizza. From their original location in Orland Park to their current location in Naperville the pizza, the decor, the smell when you pick up your pizza in the cozy pick up room, still has that same great vibe thankfully! Traversos's has a storied history and a following that keeps this place packed always. Traversos's has that feeling of being welcomed and appreciated. The leather on the walls has a comfort to it that makes me feel like they know. They know Italian and they know pizza. Traversos's history continues today still being in the family. I have many memories of the original location especially the enormous and just as soft wall hanging in the lobby. Remember those big wood doors? How about those seemingly out of place steps not quite right outside the pickup room in the parking lot. They need to install those in the parking lot outside the pick up room in Naperville. Traversos's will be around for a long time. Next time you're picking up a pizza make sure to read the history of Traversos's proudly displayed in the pick up room and also attached with the pictures here. It will make you feel proud to support Traversos's. I've always been back and hope you do the same. read more

Cozy Neighborhood Restaurant in Naperville. We ordered grilled Salmon, Salad of Mixed Greens, and Gluten Free Chicken Tenders/Garlic Bread. This place has one of the largest selection of Gluten Free items in the area. The Gluten Free Fried Chicken is also popular here. They were also flexible with accommodating for various other food allergies. Restaurant was clean and food was fresh. Thank You read more

I absolutely love Traversos. The salads are fresh. The garlic dressing is a classic. The olive oil and warm bread are delish. The pork chops vesuvio is my go-to. I always ask for half-n- half potatoes and spinach. Although, this particular visit the waitress was weird about it. Hubby loves the chicken parmesan. They don't take Discovercard fyi. read more

Traverso's Restaurant - Pork chops vesuvio...half n half potatoes and spinach - Pizza Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Don't go for a party that has a buffet! The food will be cold , rubbery can't pick up a piece ,pizza it's not cut all the through. Pasta served in small dishes on the buffet table, so it could get cold faster. They had 8 soup bowl with pasta around the pizzas. I have been in the Restaurant business to know how to setup buffet, that was not the to do it!!!! read more

Service was good, very nice people. The rood rocked. I had the Vesuvio and it was very good. My kid had the Linguine Carbonara and it was really good. My daughter had the Fettuccine Alfredo and that was outstanding. I highly recommend this local restaurant. read more

We had a party of 20 celebrating our 50th. As often happens some cancelled at the last minute and some came that weren't anticipated. Our waitress (Charlene) was all forgiving and wonderful about it and handled us perfectly. Food was plentiful as I had ordered Package A. Excellent food that I was able to have them pack some for take home which will be greatly appreciated in the weeks to come. Italian cuisine is very tasty and everyone was pleased. Glad to have this local restaurant close. read more

Went for a birthday celebration for myself and family. The restaurant was packed at 4:45 on a Saturday. My granddaughters shared a pizza and loved it. My husband had fettuccine Alfredo and said was terrific. I had the lasagna. Had enough for 2 more meals at home. My son had chicken and my daughter in law who eats gluten free and that was why I chose Traverso. They have an extensive gluten free menu. Would love to try again and bring a sweater. It was a little chilly. Next time we will be prepared read more

I booked my daughter's graduation party here for 6/22. I had booked a baby shower here about 10 years ago and remembered how good the food and service was then, so I thought I would give it another shot for this occasion. What an amazing place to have an event. The staff was, by far, the most attentive, friendliest people I have ever worked with. The owner Mike was great and helpful and made everything so easy. Like it felt too easy. The food was absolutely delicious! Everyone absolutely loved it. Most of my guests grabbed a catering menu before they left. They started with the soup. Best minestrone i have ever had. The house dressing for the salad was perfect. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was so good. The beef was the best beef I have ever had. Everyone couldn't get enough of the sausage and green beans. This restaurant deserves 10 stars if the scale went that high on here. I received several text messages and phone calls from my guests for 2 days thanking me for the great time and the delicious food. I usually prepare my own food for parties that I have at my home, but I think I am going to be ordering catering from here instead. Great job and thank you for making my daughter's graduation party so easy and wonderful! Thank you again!! read more

Love this place!!!! great bar and everyone friendly. Super pizza especially the Margherita. My husband and I like to sit at the bar split an anti pasta salad and calamari. That couldn't make for a better evening. read more

Went here tonight with a group of seven. It was very busy but we had a reservation. Grace was our server. I learned that she had just started recently. Grace did a wonderful job even with us throwing a couple curveballs at her. She was very attentive and got every order right. As far as the food, it was great as always. Always one of our go to places! read more

Food is great with large portions. Service is excellent and we usually sit at a booth in the bar which is very comfortable. We have been back several times. They also have very good daily specials. read more

Visited here because my daughter has gluten allergy. On Saturday evening, busy but service wasn't slow. Complementary GF bread was good, but regular bread was salty. Food was great. Italian beef sandwich was delicious. French fries were not oily, not salted which I appreciated. Pasta was overcooked but I like it that way so it was edible. I would like to come back at lunch time because it was very loud! (I'm sure lots of people were having alcohol) We sat where tables are so close each other which doesn't help. read more

almost a 5 great service, good mix of food choices, moderately priced drinks, excellent servers read more

The food here is excellent. Home cooked. I got the simple spaghetti and meatballs and it was so good because their sauce is homemade. Our family had the eggplant, lasagna, fried ravioli, bruschetta. All very good. Service was great. Environment is also nice. We went on a Friday night and though it was getting crowded it was still very nice. I would recommend for a nice home cooked Italian meal. read more

Was thinking about hosting a party in their room, but they charge a $750 minimum. Decided to order their pizza to try it. They do deliver to West Bolingbrook. Their pizza was tasty, not too much sauce, good crust. I also ordered bruchetta which was soggy. They should take a note out of Lou Malnati's book and keep the topping separate from the bread when you order take-out. I could see us ordering from here again, but I do miss the convenience of being able to order online. read more

First visit last night with my family. I'm glad we picked this as our meeting place. Everything was so good. It reminds me of the neighborhood Italian restaurants I grew up with in Chicago. We were a party of five. The place was packed. We didn't have to wait long for a table. Place seemed short staffed. Not that our level of service or food suffered. Even the "owner" or manager came around to refill our water, clear dirty plates, and make sure we were good. Great service all around. We all ordered different items. I had the Chicken picante. Delicious! All meals came with soup or salad. I had a wonderful fresh Cesar salad. We had a few apps including a cheese pizza. Everything was wonderful. Our waitress really hustled to get our food to us in a timely manner. Portions were huge. I brought home enough food for at least two more meals. And the prices were extremely reasonable. If I'm in the area, I'd definitely return. read more

We recently had a small wedding shower for our daughter and soon to be son-in-law. There were some special requests of gluten-free for my daughter and a few other attendees. Paul was in touch with my wife during the whole process assuring us everything would be as expected. Tanya was our host making sure everyone was taking care of during the shower. Everything went as planned and we had a wonderful experience. Thank you all for your help in making this go so well. I would recommend you to anyone, please continue doing what you're doing! read more
