    Excellent food and ambiance! We like to sit outside seating the best. It’s quieter than inside.

    The food at the Italiano is fabulous, proof being that even on a Monday night the restaurant and bar were incredibly busy. My only issues were one trivial one and the other I would consider substantial. Trivial would be that tonight the kitchen was out of the zucchini blossoms which was tragic because I love them! The substantial issue for me is the noise level. We were sitting at one of the very comfortable couch like tables in the bar and the noise level is so high that you have to consistently ask those across from you to repeat what they are saying, and I also felt forced to lean across the table for them to hear me clearly. That is my singular negative aissue with the Italiano. Otherwise the food is amazing, the decor and style of the entire place is lovely, and the atmosphere is wonderful. I just wish the noise level would be brought down to a more civilized to level so as to make the dining experience that much more pleasurable.

    Overall fun vibe, the server did a nice job of being involved but not circling constantly given it was slower. I would recommend doing a better job holding up your dress code standards, gentlemen allowed to enter in sneakers, running shoes and golf shorts throw off the overall vibe. Food was good and drinks are high quality, but you can get both for less and no cover at similar venues

    We had a great time at Lou Malnati's! Our waitress, Chelsea, was quite pleasant and accommodating when our kids were acting up, and she was patient with us taking a while to order. The atmosphere and decor was nice, nothing out ofdefinitle got the cheesy bread and classic deep dish, and both were phenomenal. We'd definitely go back!
