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

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

THE BEST ITALIAN PLACE IN NAPERVILLE, HANDS DOWN. Particularly for those dining with dietary restrictions, Traverso's boasts one of the largest gluten free menu's I've yet to find at a family-owned establishment (their head chef is GF, so almost the entire menu can be made to accommodate). Also, their Alfredo sauce is to die for...I wish it were bottled up and sold to bring home. ***try it with the gnocchi and you will not be disappointed! read more

Always great!!! Love the food and the service exceptional!! Been going here for several years. read more

We had a birthday party there and it was very good. We had salad and then pizza and they were both great. The pizza has a tangy sauce that I really loved. Great service and nice ambiance. read more

Lovely family owned place. Food is amazing and it's never too loud like a lot of places lately

Not sure why yelp said this restaurant has outdoor seating because it doesn't. Would be nice but kind of landlocked. Good, service and indoor seating is very good. They are always busy with a good bar area. read more

Ordered the chicken Parmesan to go. It was individually prepared. It was just perfect. The taste were overwhelming.

Delicious Italian food. Was so happy to have the separate dedicated gluten free menu for my 8 year old son with new diagnosed celiac disease. He even got his own gf bread basket as the beginning. read more

Traversos Restaurant is so unbelievably good. It is now my wife and I Friday night go to Restaurant. Traversos is located on Naper Plainfield Road in South Napervill. Whether it's tavern style thin crust, pizza, king size cocktails, or an Italian meal off the menu you will not be disappointed not to mention their appetizers that are big enough to feed three people. Some of my favorites are the thin crust tavern style pizza, the lasagna which I have yet to finish completely, it's so big or the handmade ravioli. The inside of the restaurant is a sophisticated casual atmosphere that gives you the feel of a traditional upscale Italian restaurant or an upscale Wisconsin supper club. If you are familiar with Traversos, you know the owners Mike and Paul are always there to see that your meal is nothing less than perfect. And if you have not been to Traversos, you are missing out on Napervill's best secret. read more

Went in with 12 people on Friday. Our server was very good definitely needed help. Cold food and 30 min to get a cocktail. The restaurant needs a food runner. The owners brother came over asked how things were, he didn't want to hear it was kind of rude. He said they got busy WOW!! He seemed a little nicer when we were going out the door. read more

Delicious menu and friendly staff make this a favorite! I've never had a bad experience, and I have eaten there numerous times.

Food is very good and comes out in a timely matter. Restaurant has good ambience as well

Always treated like a regular when we go to traversos. Food has been consistently good. Service has been friendly.

great service great people food outstanding! recommend as local best Italian food ambiance was clean and delightful read more

Not at all happy with the pizza. Service and ambiance were fair. When we came for dinner it wasn't that busy but the waiter took quite a while. read more

Food was delicious homemade and portions were large. Server was very sweet and professional. Had a very nice local vibe and we will be back for sure. Felt a little bad the owner was asking every table how dinner was, he avoided us tho. I would have liked to tell him how much we enjoyed our first visit. read more

Our first visit after hearing good reviews from friends. The service was excellent! Not just our waiter but the hostess & other wait staff filled our drinks, picked up dirty dishes, brought more bread without us asking. It became extremely loud when several larger groups showed up. Too bad they didn't have a separate room for them. Our food was good but could have used a bit more lemon on my picatta & mozzarella on the chicken parm. One of the "Mr. T's" even came to see how we were doing. oh & the tiramisu was excellent. Hopefully next time we go back we can enjoy the quiet ambience. read more

For my first review of 2022, this is a solid one. It's been a while since my wife & I carried out Italian. Having recently moved to Naperville, we needed something that would for sure hit the spot & boy did it! Both side salads were very crisp & tasty. The chicken parm had a light layer of breading & mozzarella with a nice marinara that had a little kick to it. Suuuuuch a good balance here. Even the basics of the bread & pasta were very well done. Thanks yelpers for delivering the goods on this one! read more

I had a lovely rehearsal dinner at Traverso's! I was forced to reschedule three times due to COVID, and each time, Paul and Mike were more than accommodating. The food was delicious, especially the pizza and the olive oil and garlic linguini! The servers in the party room were friendly, attentive and quick with our cocktail orders. Thank you for hosting my family and friends! read more

Great pizza! The atmosphere is nice and cozy. Good drinks, reasonably priced. Wish they still had the 5 cheese pizza. Owner came out and went to every table to make sure the food was good. Highly recommend! read more

It was my first time trying, and I have to admit, I was slightly disappointed with my pizza. I wanted to love this place and saw all the good reviews. My thin crust ended up a little soggy after short ride home, with the cheese sliding off each bite. I prefer a crispy crust, so maybe I should have requested it well done, though I'm not sure that would have solved the issue. That said, the staff, the girl on the phone, my waitress, and the owner, were very friendly and provided excellent service. read more

Some of the best pizza in Naperville if you like thin crust! Best if you get their sausage on the pizza!

Great local Italian restaurant and bar. One of the 2 owners is always there and the people that work there seem to like it and low turnover of staff. Food is always solid and they have an excellent Gluten Free menu. My girlfriend says it's the best GF pizza she has ever had! Large menu and good local/craft beer selection. read more

This was our first meal out since the start of COVID, and we were not disappointed. The food and service were fantastic and everything was reasonably priced. My only minor issue which was why I didn't offer 5 stars was that we'd love to have been offered a dessert menu or more drinks after our meal, but we felt a bit hurried by the check coming as soon as they came to clear our dinner dishes (the reason I say this is minor is that it was during COVID and so I'm sure they are trying to get as many people through the door as they can with the limited capacity they have. read more

Wonderful dinner. First time there. Drinks excellent, food fabulous. Love this neighborhood feeling environment where everyone seemed welcome. Great south side Chicago welcome feeling. Owner came by at least 4 times to make sure things were good. We loved our waitress too. We will definitely be back. read more

The Good Fried calamari was cooked perfectly- not rubbery and very crispy Marinara sauce was on point - excellent flavor and not too sweet Penne Pasta was Al Dente and probably Barilla Ranch dressing for salad was very good The Bad Italian bread had no crust, very doughy. House Salad was bland and more white than green. The Ugly Muscles in white wine were very small and overcooked - shriveled up Overall, the chicken Parmesan was the perfect representation of Traversos- standard, not too bad, but not great (they used Italian flavored bread crumbs and not plain bread crumbs with fresh Italian seasoning) Not terrible Italian meal for being 4800 miles from Rome read more

I have been going to this place for over 20 years... It never disappoints. Food is always great service the same.

We love to dine here with our family, the food is always fresh and good! Staff is super nice and attentive!

Order slightly extra crispy because they have a tendency to cook it doughy a little . This way it be more cooked and bubbly. - R.M

Saturday night very slow service was great ambiance was fine. The spaghetti carbonara was greasy and had very little flavor and was dry This is the second time in 3 months the food was mediocre. So sad used to be fantastic. read more

95% of the time both the food and the service is perfect. Ambiance is decent, it can become a bit loud as it fills up.

First time eating at Traverso's food was yummy and has a very huge servings. I love how everyone are working together even the manager is all over the place to help and greet his guests. The place was super busy and all staff are working hard getting our food out quickly and bust the dirty table quick so the next guest can be seated quickly. I love how all the staff are very welcoming and treats everyone like welcome to our home. We came there to celebrate my mom's birthday. We all loved the calamari, bread, soup, pasta and some other food. I had salad, salad was good but it was drowning with dressing but it's still good. Usually when i get salad most restaurant does jot give enough dressing this place gives you a lot and becomes little salty but still like it. read more

Traverso's Restaurant - Bake penne - Pizza Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Wow wow wow. What has happened to this once great neighborhood restaurant. We have been going there for 20 years, yes 20 years. Two brothers own this place and are complete polar opposites. One will appreciate your business and buy you a beer or glass of wine, while the other brother could care less. The last two times we did carry out because of pandemic. This last time will be the last. Too many kids working there who could care less about your order. Long delivery times 2+ hours. Wrong food being delivered without an apology. Portions are now over priced and literally 1/2 of what they use to be. We had pasta that was so over salted, pizza that was not cooked and chicken that was like eating rubber for the low low price of 90.00. Shame shame, please tell us why you have given up. The owner reached out and we had a nice talk. He was sincere and honest, and explained his challenges which I fully understand. We will be back for both take out and eating inside once we are able to. read more
