We have enjoyed many dinners at Made in Italy in Glen Ellyn, IL. Last evening, along with our…read moreneighbors of 40 years, we enjoyed another wonderful pasta dinner, along with our favorite server, Payton. We also enjoyed several conversations with the Hostest Lucia who recomended two incredible deserts, home made tiramisu and a delious fruit gelato inported from Italy. You can't go wrong with a visit to Made in Italy!

Their service seems more like a family member taking care of you than a server. We live within walking distance and come here a few times a year, especially when it's warm, and we can sit outside.

Lunch Review! I've loved coming to Lucia Rose for dinner…read morebut recently visited for lunch. Their standard menu is still offered as well as lunch sandwiches and a prefix menu! What a great idea for $23 to get a singular portion of an antipasta, salad, and smaller entree. I got the meatball, baby gem caesar, and spicy rigatoni pasta. I came hungry and left with leftovers. The caesar salad and pasta were amazing! The meatball was good but ricotta was served room temp where meatball was served hot. My friend and I agreed the temp difference was off. She got the meatball, roasted beet salad, and chicken parm sandwich. The beet salad wasn't her favorite as the arugula kept getting stuck in her teeth. The chicken parm sandwich had great flavor and was a large portion! I love this idea of a prefix menu for a fun lunch out. Highly recommend dinner OR lunch at Lucia Rose as you won't be disappointed.

This has become our new favorite go-to…read more A nice family place with ample seating, and reasonable prices. It's got a decent, clean bar. But it doesn't overwhelm the place. And there's some outdoor seating, when the weather is good. Definitely a local spot that you can just chill and relax at. I've now been here several times and so far everything has been perfect. The staff is always friendly and very accommodating, cordial, and engaging. They seem to go out of their way to accommodate you. And it doesn't feel forced like they have to do it, but just out of good common courtesy. Their thin, cracker crust pizza is something we get every time. Even if it's for just an appetizer, we will get a small and split it up for the table. Really outstanding flavor, great sauce, the "undercarriage" always crispy, and great flavorful cheese. We have gone up and down the menu from appetizers to the main dishes and I've been happy every single dish. As an appetizer, I highly recommend the calamari. With a light batter it's serve with marinara sauce and lemon. We've never seen them overdone or rubbery, which all to common. Ask for a little bottle of Tabasco if you want to add a little heat or kick. The main dishes. Spectacular chicken Vesuvio, chicken Parmesan, chicken Marsala, etc... All Solid! The Italian beef and beef/combo w/ sausage are delicious and quite frankly monstrous. Wow, do you get a lot for your portion here. I would definitely recommend one for that beefy hitter. For me, it's a the beef combo, dipped, with Giardinara, and a side of Au jus. And maybe broil a little provolone on top, if I'm feeling fancy. And honestly, the cakes and desserts are astonishing. The chocolate cake is so delicious and decadent and rich. OMG, I could just go in for a nice coffee and a chocolate cake and I'd be happy. In all, five stars for this place. I will be back on the regular. (honestly, I need to take more pictures. But the food is so good. I start eating it before I can remember to snap a shot)

I had Franky's Meatball Salad with Creamy Garlic dressing. We ordered Parmesan breadsticks and my husband had the Vodka Rigatoni Special. More about that later. We were served a really great crusty Italian bread and butter when we sat down. The restaurant was well staffed. Each of us had a good amount of leftovers to bring home. Prices are in line with other Italian restaurants in the area. Even a little less expensive. The server dropped off our bill. I usually don't look through the bill. My bad. This time I wanted to be sure we were charged the Special $8.00 Vodka Rigatoni special and not the regular $12.00 price for the dinner. My instincts were right. Our server charged us the $12.00 regular price. We asked a busser to find our server so she could correct it. We waited about 10 minutes for her to come back. She printed off a new bill with the corrected amount. I've had this happen to me before at other restaurants. I'm always a little skeptical about whether it was an honest mistake or if the server was trying to pull one over on us. I did not subtract any stars from my review since the amount was corrected, Husband reported that the Men's room was immaculate. We plan to return. We were happy with our experience.

They have an open rooftop seating which somewhat gave off the vibe that you're in the city of Chicago. Service throughout was pretty good. My husband and I came in for dinner and were seated right away. Given the premium pricing, I was expecting to be blown away by the food and drinks. I thought both were just OK. The cocktails were on the syrupy side while the food was more of a miss for me. We tried the grilled calamari and it was bland and overcooked. The texture was really weird, we also found what could have been plastic or bones in the middle. I did say something to our server and she dismissed it like it wasn't a big deal. We also tried the arancini app and 2 different pastas. Both OK. For me this is a place where you pay for the vibes.

They have an excellent bar up front and make great cocktails- my husband and dad both love the classic old fashion! I'm a sucker for a nice glass of Pinot Noir. If you're dining in (and you really should!) The pasta bolognese is a must have. Always amazing. And the black pepper shrimp over polenta is an amazing appetizer! So rich and delicious. These are both part of my go-to order here. Recently expanded my order and tried the short rib over polenta for the first time, it was amazing. Tender. Flavorful. Good sized portion. Wonderful. Will absolutely get again. For dessert, and there's always room for dessert here in my opinion, I love to get the rich panna cotta. This past time though we got the butterscotch budino, which was smooth and rich without being overly sweet. It was perfect to share (or not)! Just enough hint of butterscotch and topped with a crumbled shortbread cookie to an add a little crunch to the otherwise creamy treat. The staff is always helpful in making recommendations to suit your tastes too! There is a call ahead wait list and they've also started taking reservations.
