    I've had this place on my list of "To Try" for a while and I'm glad I finally did! From the outside, it doesn't look very big but inside is spacious and has plenty of seating + a long bar. We came at dinner time and the place had a decent crowd already in there but we were still seated right away. The burrata appetizer was delicious. I loved the cheese with peaches jam. I got the florentine pizza which I thought was fresh and enjoyable. My friend got the pesto special with gluten free pasta which she really liked. Each of us also had a cocktail that was on the specials menu and was made like a slushi (cannot recall the name). So good overall!

    Spicy vodka pasta with added sausage

    It is s pleasant space although the lighting is a bit too fluorescent looking which makes it sterile. The take tops are large which is helpful if you are sharing dishes. Our server was very sweet and professional. We split a kale salad with shrimp and the spicy vodka pasta with added sausage. The salad did not come out until we were nearly done with our pasta. We had to ask her where it was and she said they had to recook the shrimp because they had over cooked them the first time. It would have been nice if she had warned us right away when leaving the pasta at the table. They do not have salt or pepper on the tables and we did need it for the salad. The pasta was quite al dente and had great flavor, although it could have used more sausage and the whole dish was barely warm, however we did not complain. The salad was very filling with lots of all of the added ingredients except a little short on the figs. Our friend had the scallops arabiatta and the special pasta of the day gemelli with goat cheese sun dried tomatoes, pine nuts and eggplant. They said both were very tasty. As we entered we could see that at the bar there were some small bowls with potato chips that looked as if they were fried in house. Pricing is not outrageous but not low either. For $26 with the added sausage the portion of pasta was a bit overpriced. We will likely return.

    Tuscan kale salad and Wagyu veal meatballs

    Excellent service from Lanie. Food is superb and delicious! Meatballs (Wagyu veal) are over the top excellent! Tuscan kale salad and the Fig and Pig pan pizza are to die for!

    Fig and prosciutto pie...simply divine!

    Greetings! Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Bar Salotto's extensive renovation brought new life to a once popular local hot dog stand. This complete turn-around is impressive on the outside, what they've done to the inside is equally stunning...with a menu to match! Two couples took their love of homemade pizza to the next level so everyone can enjoy! Specialty pizzas are their wheelhouse...hand made crust, great sauce, and an eye for eclectic are all celebrations. I had the fig and prosciutto pie with a salad starter. Simply impressive. My manhattan and wine made the meal complete. Service and decor will blow your mind. The owners created a beautiful space...and the frequently full parking lot tells me that a loyal customer base knows great eating. If you've passed this gem on Rand, make a plan to stop in some time for lunch or dinner. My guess is that you, too, will come away with the feeling that Bar Salotto puts their passion on the plate each and every time! Until next time...tk

    I was there again the other night with a friend and it was my first time sitting in the dining room. As always, the food was amazing, the room is beautiful and the music was set at the perfect volume. We had the hearts of palm salad and the mushroom pizza. Both were great - the salad had the perfect amount of saltiness in the cheese and it was perfectly dressed. The pizza was fantastic- garlic sauce and red onion with sautéed mushrooms on an Asiago crust. I don't normally do mushrooms on pizza because they get dried out and chewy, but since these were sautéed they were juicy and had great flavor. Our server was Phil and he was great - checked in the right amount and was very friendly and personable. The only negative I had was that we were sitting right under a fan which got turned up midway through the meal and it felt a little too breezy. Also, if you do the thin crust pizza, definitely finish it as the crust was just ok leftover.

    Deep dish pepperoni pizza. Wow

    Outstanding service and food. Amazing pizza. I want to go back for bfast the next day. Seriously.,. Sending pic as well as it was a terrific night. Bucket of beers was crazy good price.

    Italian sandwich
    Rithin M.

    One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I've been to Italy and had the famous sandwiches from All'Antico Vinaio, and these are on par with those Italian sandwiches. You can only get them during brunch on the weekends, but I highly recommend making the trip. The bread is the perfect texture and the shape of it really gives the whole sandwich integrity. The sandwiches are MASSIVE. I split half and Italian and half of a caprese. The Italian is much more dense, and the caprese is a lighter almost refreshing sandwich. Knowing how good their bread are, I can't wait to come back for a pizza during dinner

    Garlic puffs
    kaula u.

    The food was great! The garlic puffs were so good & the cookie skillet was divine. The pasta was good as well, it was an 8.5/10. The service was great, our waiter was kind and very helpful. The ambiance is so nice, it's a big space, it wasn't as busy as I thought it'd be. I would come back!

    The pictures on line don't do it justice. It is small with a bar with a dining section and a separate dining room. We ate in the dining area in the bar. Nicer atmosphere then the restaurant Service was good and food was excellent. We shared a Cesar Salad - very unique and good. Both had pasta dishes that were outstanding. Pino Grigio by the glass was good. We will definitely be back.

    Tuscan salad

    Okay WOW! Bar Salotto sure knows how to make a group of gals feel welcome and special. This modern chic Italian establishment offers west loop vibes without the hassle of looking for parking and paying for it. Bar Salotto does not take reservations however they do have a waitlist directly on their website. As far as the interior it is sophisticated yet casual at the same time. Dress up or dress down, you will feel at home here whatever attire you choose and not be judged for it. I was here with 1 of my gfs and our server for the evening was Kyleen (spelling?). He was the sweetest person and super friendly. He was also the perfect amount of attentive and didn't hover. I would request him every single time. At 1 point I wanted to invite him to sit with us but reframed, lol. His energy and vibe was just so welcome and caring that I truly think he's the real MVP of the hospitality industry. At one point, Phil, a GM came over to check in and see how everything was doing. I appreciated it and that shows he cares for the restaurant he's at. Once my friend and were leaving a gentleman at the bar also asked us how everything went. I'm going to assume he was the owner which I also appreciated the interaction. If he wasn't the owner then fine, lol. If that was a customer then it shows people keep coming back and I 10000% understand why. For drinks my friend and I did a round of cocktails that were delicious and well balanced. I tried the basil gimlet and she had the pomegranate mule. A little on the pricier side, that would be my only 'con.' For food we had the Tuscan kale salad, broccolini pesto, pepperoni pizza and tiramisu. It's hard for me to pick which course was my favorite since I really enjoyed them all. My friend said her favorite was the pizza. She said all the ingredients went well together and she liked the pan crust and having the option to have it that way. I would order all of these items again and again they were delicious. Our experience here was great - everything was timed out well and I look forward to coming back to try other items on their menu.

    Garlic rolls
    Kesha B.

    Wanted to try a new restaurant in the area and decided to Yelp it and came across Bar Salotto. The restaurant was bright, modern & sleek. Once we were seated it took about 15-20 minutes to come by for drinks and water. Once our server came, we ordered drinks but he kept getting things mixed up at the table which is fine as long as the right drinks came to the table but he kept moving it around after we moved it to the right person, which at one point got a little tedious. To start we got the whipped ricotta which needed some honey or additional balsamic/fig on it. It was lacking a bit of flavor. The Caesar salad was decent, the pieces of romaine were pretty big so you do need a knife and fork to eat it. And the garlic rolls were puffed up pizza dough with garlic on the outside. It was nice and warm. We also ordered the classic bolognese, the fig and pig pan pizza and the solotto that our server said was what they we well known for. The classic bolognese was not what we expected at all, while the pasta was a great texture it lacked in seasoning and flavor, maybe needed a tad more garlic, and oregano? Now on to the fig and pig pan pizza was actually my favorite. The crust was delicious but the toppings were hit and miss on some pieces where the fig spread didn't fully hit. So the prosciutto made it a bit salty. The solotto was a bit different, the potatos on top were kinda like chips, but the reason why I didn't enjoy it is because I thought it was a bit too salty. All in all, it was an enjoyable experience the food was okay, the servers were friendly.

    Vodka pasta
    Pooja P.

    I was so excited to try this new restaurant in Arlington Heights, but it disappointed me. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, modern, and very clean! The waiter was also super friendly, attentive, and helpful! But I give this place 3 stars because the food wasn't excellent. I tried the Florentine pizza, which is just ok, it could be better. The flavor was good, but my pizza was soggy. The spicy vodka pasta wasn't spicy and lacked flavor. Not to mention, my coke was flat! Overall, service and ambience are 5/5, but food is 2.5-3/5 stars.

    The Salotto potato pizza

    First time dining here. It was delicious! My friend had a cosmo and it was tasty, but very small glass There were 3 of us and we split the La Salotto salad, broccolini pasta and the Salotto pizza The salad and pasta were delicious. Lots of flavor. The pizza was bland, needed more onion and rosemary. I don't think it had any spice at all. But, the Asiago cheese crust was delicious We will definitely be back!

    This was a spur-of-the-moment choice but ended up being very fun for drinks and dinner!…read more I LOVE tiki bars and my husband noticed this one in the area near where we happened to be on Google maps, so off we went! We had about a 15 minute wait for a table but it gave us time to peruse the menu in the car. They offer many classic tiki cocktails, a page full of seasonal drinks, a page of "Designated Driver" mocktails (nice to have an option for something other than just a Shirley Temple!), Polynesian appetizers and entrees, and then Lola's Pizza. For drinks, I got the seasonal Gingerbread Painkiller and my husband got a Green Flash mocktail. (Pro tip on the seasonal drinks: check the regular cocktail menu to see how many skull and crossbones are listed under the regular version of your drink, if applicable, to see if it's a super strong one!) Mine was creamy and spicy but quite powerful. Props to our waitress, Makayla, who checked if anyone at the table was epileptic, because normally the "flash" part of my husband's drink is a strobing LED ice cube; I actually am photosensitive, so it came in the drink in non-strobe mode and just glowed an alien green. She said this was the first time it had actually paid off to ask, but I'm glad she did! The food was tasty: I ordered rumaki, an old-school appetizer of bacon-wrapped water chestnuts that you don't see very often these days, and he got loaded fries. We also got a small Lola's Pizza, which was very good, with a crisp but also chewy crust. The atmosphere here is pure tiki, with a fountain, swag lamps, bamboo, and Hawaiian-influenced Christmas music playing for the season. Lots of big groups here; everyone seemed to be having as good a time as we were! What a laid-back gem in Arlington Heights! We'll be back. Mahalo!

This is one of those spots that doesn't try to be something it's not. It leans all the way into being a true neighborhood sports bar, and that's exactly why it works so well. Walk in and you're immediately wrapped in that familiar hum of TVs, cheers, and conversations a sports bar should have! The patio is nice, but it lacks TV's which would be great with some cover, but oh well. It's a good setup, and a huge reason folks keep coming back. Food-wise, burgers, wings, fries... nothing pretending to be fancy, just solid and satisfying. People consistently call it "good pub food" with a fun atmosphere, and that's honestly the perfect description. What really makes it stand out, though, is the atmosphere. It somehow balances being lively without being overwhelming. You can come to actually watch the game, or just hang out and soak in the energy. Regulars, first-timers, families, groups of friends, it all blends together into this easygoing, welcoming crowd. Is it flawless every single visit? No. It can get busy, things might take a little longer during peak times, and like any well-loved local spot, there are moments that aren't perfect. But none of that sticks with you. What does stick is the experience. At the end of the day, this is the kind of place you don't overthink. You just go, grab a seat, order something you know will hit the spot, and enjoy the game. Five stars, not because it's perfect, but because it nails exactly what it's supposed to be.
