My partner and I went here for our anniversary and we were not disappointed.
For our appetizer, we got the mozzarella sticks. I’ve never had homemade mozzarella sticks before, so these were easily the best I’ve ever had (I’ve never been to a place that made their own before; it’s always the same Sysco pre-breaded ready-to-fry ones).
The bread basket was also delicious, fresh, fluffy, and warm.
My partner got the four cheese ravioli and house salad. She noted the salad was well-organized, not drowned in dressing, and had perfect cuts. The ravioli was delicious.
I got the Chilean sea bass (from the daily specials menu) and minestrone. The soup was divinely rich and the vegetables perfectly tender, and I enjoyed it so much that I ended up using a slice of bread from the basket to soak up every last drop of broth.
The sea bass was perfection: the fish was fresh and perfectly tender, every bite an explosion of flavor. It was easily the best fish I have ever eaten. And the bed of saffron risotto it was served on was also excellent.
The restaurant is beautiful and well-decorated for the holidays, and the music is quite tasteful.
I hope to visit again in the future.

Portions are generous, which is great. The meatballs were hard and dry, though. Chicken Parm was overcooked—tough and not juicy at all. Seafood pasta came out pretty plain, lacking flavor or seasoning. Dessert was fine, nothing special.
The atmosphere is charming and worth experiencing for the history, but the food didn’t hit the mark for us this time.

A great place to eat. The atmosphere was intimate and friendly. The pasta was first-rate. The flavor profile was balanced really nicely. I would recommend and will come back.

Traditional no-frills Italian with an original vibe.
We started with a Caesar salad and meatballs. The salad was simple but good. The meatballs (one of their signature dishes) were excellent. The garlic bread was good, but not amazing.
I had the lasagna (another signature) was great. It had an interesting mixture of red sauce on one side of the lasagna and a white cream sauce on the other.
The meat sauce with the lasagna was a highlight for me.
My wife had the four-cheese ravioli. It was decent. The sauce was a bit watery.
Be aware that the menu is pretty sparse (at least the one we got). I’m wondering if it was an abbreviated menu, because of an influx of people from the Chicago Marathon.
If you’re looking for basic traditional Italian fare then give this place a try.

We go here every year for our anniversary. After trying several different dishes I settled on the steak as my favorite. The Affogato is a MUST. So simple but so delicious. And the Caprese is always a must as well. There are a couple options but we enjoy the upstairs the most.

Exactly the way Italian food should be served! Italian Village offers a warm, cozy, and inviting atmosphere with beautiful décor and perfect lighting that makes the whole experience feel special. Our waiter was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and made the evening flow smoothly. The wait for food was short, and when it arrived, everything was flavorful, fresh, and cooked to perfection. The drinks paired beautifully with the meal, adding to the overall experience. What I really loved is that you don’t even need a reservation to enjoy this gem, making it easy to drop by and still have an amazing dining experience. Simply excellent Italian food, wonderful service, and a vibe that makes you want to come back again and again.

Date Night disappointment. Had a reservation for 2, 2 top tables are a bit small, lighting dark. Perhaps because date said we were going to a show the dinner was rushed. Small salads brought out within 5 mins and entree’s within 10 before we’re finished with salad and table is too small for all the plates. The dishes had to have been precooked, my Chicken Piccata sauce had a film on it so it had been sitting for a while and chicken doesn’t cook that quickly. Not sure if one kitchen cooks for the 3 Village buildings Resto’s. Old World decor, good for large groups looking for theme, a bit too dark, I had to filter the photos all the way to bright.
Stairs to get to top floor Resto, assume there must be an elevator.

I just have to say – if I could give this place 10 stars I would. The atmosphere, the service, and OMG the food – so delicious. I can’t wait to come back & try more dishes. Thank you for an amazing experience.
