The supper club was good, but our request for a booth was not honored, and we did need to ask twice for the supper club menu. The seats were comfortable though, and no big deal.

As the last time, our experience at Saranello’s was exceptional. Starting with the decor, ambiance of the bar area, lighting, was very engaging. Our server Lisa was outstanding. She was always very pleasant, always attentive to our needs, showed great initiative. And went beyond our expectations when she suggested I used soda water for the pasta sauce that splattered on my shirt. She instantly brought me the soda water, without me requesting it. The calamari was one of the best we ever had, especially with the variety of peppers and sauce that comes with it. My girlfriend loved her Fettuccine Alfredo, and my Shrimp Diablo tasted soooo good. I’ve never had so much shrimp provided in any entree ever. The plate presentations of both were beautiful. The bread has no preservatives as it tasted great and was warm. Saranello’s is one of the best restaurants we’ve ever visited, in the north suburbs or anywhere for that matter. Please go!
