Best Casual Restaurants in Riverwoods

First time diner at Saranello’s! Emily was our server! Very personable and sweet! Food was outstanding! The chicken parm was a real pleaser! The lasagna was very yummy too , I wish it was a bigger piece! The prices were standard for Italian food! Good values! Definitely going back again!

Everything was great from the host to the waiter to the chef, except the people we where sitting with! HE DROPPED HIS WHOLE HOT SAKE ON ME AND THREW HIS CHOPSTICKS AT ME

Great food, good service, and never disappoints. Their wine selection needs to be better and quality of wines needs to improve.

The burgers are delicious and hearty. The brussel sprout side is crispy and tasty. The smokey Old Fashioned was really good. Spears is a feel good, laid back restaurant.

As usyal, the experience was great. Tonight we met a server new to us named Mary. She was very friendly and efficient. We had to chuckle when she asked if we had been there before, since in 2024 we had been at the Wheeling facility 53 times. Mary has been added to our list of favorite servers.
