Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Wilmette

Excellent food and service - you can tell it’s a great team all excited to be there together putting out awesome food. Recommend the meatballs and keeping it simple on the pies like they suggest - sausage & giard / pep & hot honey were excellent combos as always. Can’t wait to come back!

Atmosphere/ambience at 5pm was quiet and uncrowded. By 6:30 conversations turned louder but was understandable as tables near us filled with patrons. There was an air of true joy around us, everyone was glad to be there. The Bucatini Carbonara was superbly prepared with generous flavors of bacon, egg, onion and more! The Tiramisu was perfect with coffee or tea. Always a great meal at Sapori Trattoria!

We had a great dinner here last night. We ordered chicken with leeks and salmon. Everything was delicious and the service was excellent. Thanks

Outstanding food and service. Will be back ASAP. Do not skip the Foccacia di Recco!

What an amazing dinner experience! The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and very well decorated. The drinks were top notch, and high quality. We started with the arancini, which was crunchy, the rice was a perfect texture, and it had just the perfect amount of cheese. The table bread was on another level. It had subtle sweet notes, which consisted of honey and orange. I had the tagliatelle. The short rib was moist and very tender, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. My wife had the rigatoni, and she said the pasta was cooked perfectly as well, and the vodka sauce was very creamy and had excellent flavor. The tiramisu was just on another level! I have already recommended Alla Vita to 3 other people in the last 2 days! A must visit......I would give 6 stars if I could!
