Everything good and nothing bad to say about this restaurant. We went for the first time when they'd just opened, and met the family. They are friendly and dedicated to excellent food, wine, cocktails, service, and good vibes. Do not miss this place, the menu options, the experience. You won't regret it. read more

It's a little cute restaurant nestled along New Wilke Road. We saw on the menu that it offers Gluten Free on the menu so thought to give it a try. It was on a Thursday night, the restaurant was quite busy. We were greeted by a friendly hostess. She was able to show us to table since there were only two of us. There's a decent selection of wines. The menu has a nice collection of classics. We ordered Gnocchi Norcina - first time trying this version of gnocchi, it was soft and pillowy! The sauce paired very well, and protein was chicken. For the GF, we ordered scalloppine (veal) - the meat was thinly pounded and served with creamy sauce. The portion was very generous! We have left over for lunch next day. read more

Was really excited to try this place. Unfortunately, didn't love the food. Just thought it lacked flavor. Sauce with a little thin. Friendly staff though. read more

So incredibly impressed with this restaurant. I was craving pasta on a work trip and was a little concerned at the lack of vegetarian options on the menu. It turned out to be unfounded though; they were happy to replace any protein with veg for me! The pasta was clearly homemade and amazing, the lemone sauce was tasty, and the hummus that accompanies the bread was some of the best I've had. I highly recommend. read more

Casa Di Luigi - Pasta with lemon butter sauce and veg - Italian Near Me - Rolling Meadows, Illinois

Very personal service! Maybe because we came early for dinner and they were not jammed, but wow, what a sincere and generous host! We shared the beet salad, and the dressing of pomegranate was light and paired superbly with the beets. I do not usually care for beets, but the preparation was perfect! The greens and tiny tomatoes were just the right bite with the fried goat cheese on top. The focacia with humus was a unique surprise and delicious. I had a Prosecco and he a glass of Cabernet - both good. I had the tagliatelle with lobster and shrimp in a light, but creamy and spicy pink sauce. He had gnocci in a mushroom sauce with chicken - he almost licked the plate but that would have been too much! Elegant and delicious! The dessert was good, but definitely the stars were the main courses! We met the co-owner Suzanna - lovely and very welcoming. Word of warning - do not be misled by the unassuming outside appearance! The inside is warm and the atmosphere kind of rustic. Sinatra and the Pack in the background - super smooth. We WILL return!! read more

Three of us ate here on a Monday night. We split the special in season appetizer of stuffed zucchini flowers (it came three to an order). Then we each got a homemade pasta. I got the lemon lobster pappardelle. I liked it. The lemon came through. It was buttery. The noodles were a little different (thicker) but very good. They were homemade. For dessert I got the coconut panna cotta. It was awesome. Service was outstanding. read more

Tonight was my first time here the food is amazing. I was very impressed. It's a family owned business the owner. I think she said her name was Susan. Her husband works in the back cooking. She was very sweet. I'm definitely coming back. It's nice to go somewhere where the food is great and the owners are very nice to the customers. read more

It's a decent spot for Italian dining, though the atmosphere doesn't make a very strong impression. From the outside, the place is not particularly attractive, but they do offer outdoor seating. I personally chose to sit inside, though the layout there had its drawbacks. The biggest issue I noticed was the large restroom door being positioned in plain view, right in the main dining area. A side location would have been much more suitable. The staff, however, were polite and attentive, which made the experience more pleasant. For my meal, I ordered the mushroom ravioli. It turned out to be the highlight of the visit--rich in flavor, perfectly cooked, and quite satisfying. The presentation was simple, nothing fancy, but the taste made up for it. One odd detail was how the restaurant manages its seating. They often combine small tables together to accommodate guests, but the setup wasn't stable and felt a bit uncomfortable. It detracted from the overall dining experience. read more

Yes, Yes And Yes... Food, Service and Atmosphere were all fabulous! Let me just say when you have a tough time choosing your entree because every meal you see around you looks so appetizing you know it's going to be good... and indeed it was taste buds dancing good. Susana my server was more than attentive. Very helpful in making suggestions to suit my palate. I even let her surprise me with dessert. OMG that Crème Brûlée had such a unique twist it will linger in my mind forever ! This intimate restaurant is the perfect place to gather with friends, business associates or that special someone. I can't wait to be back on business again so I can try more dishes. Give this place a try... you won't be disappointed! read more

Such a hidden gem! We found out about this through other reviews and so glad we did! The service was great and the food was amazing. The selection is different than what you will find at other Italian restaurants in the area and we appreciated that so much. We ordered three small plates and all of them we would order again. We'd love to try a pasta dish the next time. Dessert was great too (tiramisu). The restaurant itself is very quaint and has a homey feel. You can see into the kitchen which is always nice. Will be back! read more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for some time now. I remember when the space used to be a Grande Jake's. It's really transformed into a different vibe. A wall dedicated to displaying wine and paintings throughout. It's remained an open kitchen concept but not too overwhelming with smells or noise from the kitchen into the dining area. It's clean with dim lights and has a lounge feel that is not intimidating. The waitress was helpful and knowledgeable about the menu, wine, and food. As for the food it tasted great and portions were good too. Oh and it's true the bread that comes out with the dip is good. The dip tasted like hummus, evoo, garlic, and cheese. read more

We went to this restaurant as it was listed on Resy reservation app. It had Good reviews on Google and not so great on yelp but we decided to go there. Upon arrival we were asked if we have a reservation which was good that I made a reservation but somehow the ambience of the restaurant wasn't that great at that point also thought it might be just the ambience. Maybe the food is really good. They were a couple tables occupied. The person who seated us said she's Going to get us the bread to start with and then a different server came who took our order for appetizers apparently she didn't give us the complete picture of Item we ordered I don't remember the name of the item, but it was something like I won't be cold cheese and tomato sauce with basil and bread on site. Apparently we didn't like that at all. The free bread that came in. The beginning was much better. The funny thing was that about 3 to 4 people came to check on us or take our order or refill. The same person was not coming back. Not sure why and we had to tell every server that we are vegetarian so please make sure there is no broth or sauce, or there is any meat in any of our dishes. For the main course, we ordered Risotto ai fungi and Mushroom Ravioli. They both were good but the risotto ai fungi was much better than ravioli, even though they both had the same kind of a sauce. One thing we didn't like at all was there were mosquitoes in the restaurant we seated inside, so that is something that should be taken care of. Second thing not too big but their silverware seem like very very very old. They can do some upgrades on that. Conclusion: it's not a fancy place to go to. Just a regular Italian OK OK restaurant. If you ask me, I'm not going back there again. read more

This place is a great gem. Our service was great. We had the calamari for an appetizer! So yummy! Our mains were fantastic. You could tell the pasta was homemade. My gnocchi was like little pillows! So light! Don't miss the tiramisu! A must have! After just taking a cruise to Rome this place reminded me of Italy and did not disappoint! read more

One of the best Italian places I've ever been. Pasta was great, risotto was well done and the wine superb. Dessert choices phenomenal.

Found this place on yelp. Quaint, local, intimate. Wednesday early dinner. Fairly empty Service very attentive. Open kitchen so we can see our food prepared. Soft music playing.. Sammy Davis, Billie Holiday, Doris Day, Armstrong, Sinatra, Dean Martin... you get the picture. We each ordered a pasta dish. Huge portion. Think about sharing. We thought about appetizers but glad we opted out. We could have shared one dish with such huge portions. I had a shrimp & lobster dish with a delicious tomato cream sauce. A small but whole lobster tail was in mine, but did not taste fresh. The server promptly offered to make it right. The boss had a chicken & shrimp Fettuccine. Delicious too. Both had delicious but different sauces. Rich & thick. So full no room for what looked like delicious desserts. read more

Still have the magic. Still working hard. Casa di Luigi is one of those rare gems that maintains the success of their opening. As promised we are eating our way through the menu. Each item has been a delight. Last night's Mushroom Ravioli and Gnocchi di Zucca were sublime. The room is warm and inviting. Service is always friendly and gracious. Absolutely worth a visit. read more

A genuine family-run Italian restaurant. This is my fourth time ordering food to go. I previously ordered the fettuccine chicken Alfredo, fettuccine with shrimp, and the latest fettuccine mazzarese. This time, I opted to order one for lunch and one for dinner the next day. Hats off to the chef; it was an exceptionally tasty meal. It is definitely worth a visit for anyone who has not yet tried it. Will not disappoint! read more

Shout out to the New Wilkie and Algonquin Neighborhoods! We can walk to this friendly place with delicious meals of homemade pasta and Italian standards like branzino and scallopini. The owner greeted us at the door-Thursday is half price bottles of wine. Yes, we will have a bottle. Tuesday is half price Martinis. Sunday is brunch 10a.m. -3:00 pm. Our caprese salad was fresh and tasty. My mushroom ravioli had a lovely sauce and a beautiful presentation. The Tira Misu dessert is made with sweet Mexican cookies that elevated the taste. The service & ambiance is just right. If it was located in Soho, it would be packed every night. This is my new neighborhood restaurant. Thank you, Luis & Suzannah read more

Excellent service and food! This is the only place I have ever been to where every staff seems to work as if they own the place! Super friendly and pleasant. The place slowly filled up while we were there. I had the tailgate with lobster and creamy tomatoes sauce. While the sauce is a bit too unique for me (sweet with a subtle sour note), the tagliatelle is superb! I could totally visualize someone in the back rolling that pasta machine and chopping up the dough for these awesome tagliatelle. The mussels we had also tasted super fresh. The complimentary focaccia and dip is to die for! I had to hold back from eating too many! read more

This restaurant is so good! We love the staff and the ambiance. We try something new everytime and have never been disappointed.

I really like this place. This was my second time dining here. Both visits were thoroughly enjoyable. This visit, I opted for the Riagatoni alla Trasteverin, which was a superb dish with homemade Italian sausage, mushrooms, in an amazing creamy tomato sauce, with goat cheese. You could easily imagine that the bite size pieces of sausage were made in house, and the sauce was extremely rich and complex. I had the Calamari Frito appetizer which was cooked delicately and perfectly. Once again, the sauce that accompanied it, was not a simple marinara, but a rich homemade tomato sauce. The service was friendly, prompt, and professional. This is a great place for a large, friends or family dinner group. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but when you're in there, being so well taken care of, and eating this delicious food, you'll be happy you came. I should note that this isn't exactly the traditional Italian restaurant where you can order lasagna, spaghetti, veal parmigiana, etc. (all of which I also really enjoy), but rather an interesting take on creative Italian food. I consider the pricing to be reasonable, especially with the quality of the food. I'll be returning again and again. read more

A diamond in the rough! Almost didn't write this review because I wanted to keep this restaurant to myself haha. It's been a while since both my wife and I absolutely fell in love with a restaurant. First things first, their in house made focaccia bread and pureed gorgonzola beans in olive oil and parmesan cheese was amazing, I had to force myself not to order more after the 2nd round of bread. I would go back just for this bread and dip! Appetizer was the Cozze Al Pomodoro. The mussels tasted fresh and the sauce delicious. For entrees, the wife ordered the black fettucini with spicy tomato sauce with squid and shrimp(for the name and to take a picture of this), and everything tasted fresh and delicious albeit a bit too spicy for me, however the wife enjoyed the spice level. I ordered the gnocchi norcina which was a bit heavy but I ate every last bit on my plate. For dessert we had to order the tiramisu that comes in a little flower pot. The flower is actually real! The tiramisu was not too sweet and we enjoyed it thoroughly. To top it off they gave us some pistachio cello shots on the house! These were delicious and had quite a kick to them! This is definitely making it onto our list of restaurants we will go to again! Highly recommended. read more

Based on all the reviews, I was expecting a hidden gem, but it turned out to be more of a marble. We went on one of the coldest days, and unfortunately the restaurant itself was very cold. The salad and bread were excellent, the pasta was just okay, and my steak came out overcooked and had to be sent back. To their credit, they handled it kindly and the service was excellent--they even comped a dessert. Still, overall it wasn't enough to make us want to return. read more

The food was great, but a little pricey. Entrees averaged $35. But I loved my meal and would eat there again.

Decided to go there for dinner after reading good reviews. Was not disappointed. We started out with the crab cakes, they were amazing.
