Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Countryside

The duck confit was perfect, never had better duck in my life. Gnochhi and Chantelle mushrooms was outstanding too although the gnocchi itself was flavorless (the sauce and mushrooms mad cup for it). Scallops were good but oversalted. Waiter was great. good wine recommendations. Happy to have a place like this in Western Suburbs. too few options for a great meal like this

Lovely, lovely experience. Will definitely be back!

Had a wonderful Valentine’s Day 2025 dinner at Prasino. The snowy Chicago weather meant it wasn’t overly crowded, making for a cozy and intimate experience. The ambiance was excellent, and while the entrée selection was somewhat limited, every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. Service was attentive and professional. Highly recommend for a date night or a business dinner!

Great restaurant, ambience is good but tables feel too close together.

Ate at Lucca’s on a very busy Valentine’s Day evening. Although the entire restaurant was bustling we still thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We started with a manhattan cocktail and a pomegranate margarita which were fine. After drinks we ordered the bruschetta appetizer and found it to be delicious. The finely chopped tomatoes made it light and tasty. For entrees we ordered the chicken calabrese which was surprisingly spicy but anticipated a spicier entree as it does have calabrese peppers. We also ordered a pizza that was 1/2 gringo loco and calabrese. A combination of two of their specialty pizzas. I enjoyed the calabrese pizza more. Overall our waitress was great, and even though it was busy, we were happy with our service. Definitely would patronize again in the future.
