Best Family Style Restaurants in Winfield

Our entire dining experience at Maggiano’s Little Italy in Naperville, on Saturday evening (1/11/25), was outstanding from start to finish. We had a reservation for 6:30pm, and we were seated within several minutes of checking in. The manager that greeted me at the host stand was friendly, professional, and welcoming. We had a preference for a booth noted in the Open Table app, and the gentleman acknowledged and honored our request for booth seating. Great ambiance, classy decor and design inside. Our server, Luis, was exceptional. He was friendly, funny, and helpful at answering a few questions about the menu, and was on point with his timing and service throughout our meal. Everything was very well-paced, not rushed, for a relaxing meal. Luis was perfectly observant and prompt with drink refills and clearing dishes out of the way during the meal. We had the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer, which were delicious. Luis also brought us a basket of fresh, crusty bread with olive oil and Parmesan cheese to start. Each of our entrees were excellent. I ordered the chicken francese, served with crispy vesuvio potatoes and asparagus. It was very flavorful. I believe it was in a lemon butter sauce, which was delicious. My wife had the rigatoni alla vodka with crumbled Italian sausage. She enjoyed it very much. The pasta was cooked to a perfect al dente, and the sauce was very flavorful. My daughter ordered the rigatoni D with chicken and sautéed button mushrooms. She raved about how good it tasted. The sauce is very creamy and delicious. We wanted to save room for dessert, so we saved about half of our generously portioned meals to be boxed up. We took home enough leftovers to enjoy for dinner at home the next day. For dessert, we shared a huge slice of chocolate layered cake and the creme brulee. The chocolate cake was awesome. Rich, moist, and sweet but not too rich. The creamy, creme brulee had a nicely carmelized crust. Very enjoyable experience!

Love the food and atmosphere. Great place for large parties.

The food was exceptional. I thought I was at a “Chef’s Table” restaurant. The Brussel sprout crostini was out of this world and we were given the most delicious cheesecake to celebrate our anniversary. Really very thankful. And as an ice tea officianado, I can say that the ice tea was also some of the best I’ve had! Definitely will be coming back. The staff was very knowledgeable and attentive.

Our dining experience was absolutely fabulous. Chef Liam pays such keen attention to detail and adds his special flair to each dish to make the flavors intertwine with such synergy, that we thoroughly savored the entire meal. Vito was very knowledgable in assisting us with selecting a delightful wine to pair with our meal, and the wait staff were attentive and gracious in every way. Thank-you to the entire CHE FiGATA team for such a memorable and special evening!

Very cute Christmas pop up experience ….wish more drinks offered in cute festive cups! Our booth was bit tight for 8 but service & food were great!
