Best Casual Restaurants in Oak Brook

The food was amazing and the service was great! It did feel like we were at a Cooper's Hawk, though, and not an Italian restaurant. Another thing that was similar to a past Cooper's Hawk experience was that we had to wait 15 minutes with a reservation. The restaurant was fairly empty at 4:00 pm and the hostess told us they're just clearing our table when we checked in right at our reservation time, but we still had to wait 15 minutes to be seated. Not really a big deal, but it's not a pleasant experience when you had a time reserved and you're waiting fairly long to finally be seated. We had the Pasta Fagioli, which was fantastic, and the short rib papardelle and rigatoni alla vodka, both of which were soooo good and light. It didn't feel heavy like normal when eating pasta. The chocolate hazelnut cake and gelato trio was also delicious! Our server, Robert R., was friendly and helpful! He didn't rush us at all and was honest and knowledgeable. The restaurant is in the Oak Brook Mall area, so parking can be a challenge.

The food was great as usual, as was our server. The restaurant was packed and given it’s only one large open room with tiled floors it is loud.

First time there, all the men enjoyed the different selection of beer. Burgers and rigatoni dishes were very tasty. We will definitely go back.

Madison was fantastic, the lunch Buffet parallels the Ritz Carlton brunch. Thank you very much. 😊

Excellent food, server was fantastic. Will definitely be going back
