The blonde lady bartender was kind of cold when I asked for a table saying "I'll check" and nothing more. The server rolled his eyes at me when I ordered still water. Not welcoming. Pretty does not a nice boy make. Fast service though. The space was nice, dimly lit. Busy for Tuesday for good reason. Food came out quickly. The man, I assume the manager who handled my bill was very kind and thanked me for coming in. I liked it better than Rodeo, a competing steakhouse nearby. (Although the steak was just as good as rodeo- the fries at rodeo didn't stand a chance to the delicious scalloped frites at Sopranos. ) reasonable pricing for the quality. If some of the staff was even mildly friendlier it would be 5 stars all the way, that was the only real negative. I would go again and probably will!

Came here on a Wednesday without a reservation and was seated with the indication that we'd have…read morejust over an hour before they'd have to give up the table for a reservation. As a result, I was expecting them to start rushing us through our meal, but it wasn't like that at all. They did promptly take our order, but after that they mostly left us to enjoy our meal. I think they have camera monitors behind the counter, which is great because then they don't clog up the walkways (the restaurant is pretty cramped), but also a little unfortunate because we ended up waiting on them to give us the check. I thought the steaks were decent, but I've definitely had better. I love that you can order a combination so you can try all the steak as well as lamb if you wanted. I was a little confused by the flags that came with our steak - one had the dollar sign and the other had a gun. Wait, am I still in the Netherlands? My favorite part of the meal was actually the fries. This place has the best fries hands down. If you want "can't miss" steak in the Netherlands, then I recommend Restaurant Wielinga in Leiden. They had the most mouth watering steak I've ever had!

Ilio's did not disappoint. Food was fantastic and the service was excellent. This is a must visit…read morerestaurant and I will be back.

Being in Eindhoven for 2 weeks, we came back to Illio's. The food was fantastic and the staff are…read moreamazing down to earth people. My husband came to this restaurant 7 years ago and he always talked about a baked feta cheese dish that he had in a Greek restaurant (which he loved), he also remembered the manager was a great guy! If we happen to come back to Eindhoven again, we will definitely visit Hossien and his friendly staff for another great feast.

Saturday night, Bib gourmand 4 course menu 45€…read more Made reservations 1h up front, I guess we were lucky and someone cancelled.. The place was packed so it's advised to make reservations up front. We had a little amuse, followed by the starters duck tartare and foie grass.. Wasn't amazed then the second course (fish) ok.. Main dish was great (I had the lamb) and I absolutely loved the desert (citrus fruits and home made vanilla ice cream) Love the way they integrate local produce in their menu. Thumbs up! Over all good value for your money.

A well above average restaurant located directly on the main square…read more Modern but comfortable interior with good table spacing and attentive staff. We had the 'Surprise' menu as it saved translating problems and we had plenty of time. This was preceded with a glass of Prosecco - bland, but followed with some very well chosen and impressive wines to match each course. The wines stood out as being 'just what you look for' in each particular category, with a particularly outstandingly good US Chardonnay. The food dishes were very inventive and excellent. You can see them being prepared by the two chefs if you get the right table. My only slight down being that they were a little slow arriving though our good company made this no problem on this night. A good place and well worth a detour.

Wow! Really a great evening out. Fantastic food!…read moreWe choose for the surprise dinner of 5 courses and in all honesty, every course was a pleasant surprise of true great explosions of flavors! We had a wine & dine option and every wine fitted the courses great. For one of the courses they were serving Chardonnay, and as I mentioned to the waiter that I am not a big fan of Chardonnay he first let me taste it, and after my "this is not really my kind of wine" he brought me a great alternative for that course in a Viognier. That is understanding service and acting on it. Since December they have a Michelin star, and they earn it big time. In contrary to other "star" restaurants where I have been before, they are relaxed and not too formal, they have exceptional variety (and knowledge of) the wine menu. And sure, they are not the cheapest to go to, but for the quality, variety and wines I feel they are really well priced! Would definitely recommend this place!

My review is based on the new Cedofeita location of Zarzo…read more I was greeted by Carlos, then his wife and son, the Chef. The front of the location is the bar which leads to the dining room, and even further to the terrace. Very welcoming appearance. Two of our party ordered the pork stew type dish with beans and tortillas. I ordered 3 beef and cheese tacos. The guacamole and chips were delicious, but a meager portion of chips served. The 3 salsas served with the chips were delicious but I missed the "pico de gallo" of my stateside years. Corn tortillas were homemade and the tacos were made with quality beef, seasoned and grilled well. Perfect street tacos! My friend's pork stew was good and seemed authentic to a region in Mexico. As a flan fan, I wanted to order but the restaurant became busy and the wife was trying to cover all the tables. I will order at my next visit because I am certainly coming back. The family story is charming as are each of the individuals. They put their heart into the food served. They are certainly a wonderful addition to the Cedofeita neighborhood. Please forgive my picture which I forgot to take until half done with my tacos! 8/10 Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance

In the mornings they have an AYCE Turkish breakfast which includes Turkish tea, a freshly made Turkish crepe with fresh cream and honey and fresh rolls. The buffet spread includes a variety of freshly made salads, cheeses, stews and spreads. It is an amazing amount of food and the buffet only costs €10.00 pp. We usually only go to pick up boxes of baklava, but we really enjoyed their breakfast the last time we visited. They however only speak Dutch and Arabic, but we manage to communicate with our broken Dutch. A real hidden gem in the Eindhoven area!

Seems to be a decent Turkish place as my friends have told me…read more As a vegetarian, I've only had the KIZARTMA PATATES (potatoes with eggplant, zuccini, pepper, garlic, yoghurt & some sauce). I really love it and I love how delicious it is without breaking my student bank account. The place is now divided into 2 locations that are very close to each other, where one is for meals and the other is for desserts. I've had some baklava and I think something other dessert there. They were good. Service is also good. The decor is pretty nice. I really love the Turkish tapestries and also the upholsteries on the chairs. With some Turkish tea, you will forget you are in Holland! :)
