The lady we had waiting on us was serving a lot of tables, but she was very good at coming by & making sure we had what we needed. She was fast without seeming rushed. They give you bread as soon as you sit down. We ordered Chicken Parm, Seafood Pasta, & a special Garlic Chicken in Corn dish they had for that night! We had food for days! Seems pricey, but it's because the portions are massive! The decor is quite nice & the place is kind of loud. We thoroughly enjoyed this place & will definitely be back to try their other dishes! Highly recommend this local gem of a spot for great Italian food!

I asked for parm on the side . When it wasn't in the bag they said it's extra money but they would do it this time .

Don't follow the negative reviews you find here about Tievoli. Especially the ones that complain…read moreabout service, or the lack of water, etc. If you do, you may miss as a gem of a restaurant and one of the best 'real' pizzas in Chicago. I'm a New Yorker, and although I enjoy a good Chicago deep dish, I still favor NY style pizzas. And this one is the best I can remember in Chicago. I've tried a lot. The crust is almost perfect. Well baked, crusty, chewy, and tasty. Lots of air at the edges and a great bite throughout. We had the sausage and peppers pizza. The sausage was crumbled across interior with fresh peppers. The sauce could have had a little more flavor, but it was very good - not too salty like so many others- and nicely spread across the inside of the pie. The crust held the toppings nicely- there was no mush in the middle. We also ordered a pear and pecan salad. Lots of pear squares, plenty of pecans, and a generous amount of greens. The soup of the day was a Tuscan soup - lots of beans, some sausage, cheese, and a flavorful broth. Fresh and homemade. And very good. Oh, and a pitcher of water came to our table with our plates and silverware. No issues. No problems. (From earlier reviews, we had been concerned about the availability of tap water. Ours was fine.). There was a reasonable selection of beer- including craft beers- at very reasonable prices. We enjoyed our meal. Ordering at the counter was easy and efficient. Prices were reasonable and the value was good. We found the service to be pleasant, friendly, and timely. We will be back to try other pizzas and look forward to it.

I didn't expect these to be so good from a pizza place, but I am pleasantly surprised. The flavors are so unique, and done so well! Seriously, these pazckis stuffed to the brim with delicious, creamy filling. What we got: Pistachio cream - Soooo surprising! Super nutty and not as sweet as I was expecting. Usually pistachio flavored things taste top of tongue sweet, but this was rich, creamy, and deeply nutty. And holy cow the filling! Super generous and just gushing out! Biscoff - Again not too sweet! So good and such a fun flavor that you don't normally see. Their cookies are chewy and had a unique touch: the oatmeal raisin is dipped in espresso, though I think the raisin doesn't quite match, and the chocolate chip is made with browned butter, which gives a richness and deeper flavor that cuts the sweetness of the milk chocolate chips.

Out of curiosity, I decided to check it out. Located across from the railroad tracks and near the Metra station, Dario's is a local institution that serves up tasty sandwiches and more. I liked their sandwiches options on the menu. The variety was good. I ordered their Fiesta Panini that's made with pulled pork, habañero aioli, muenster cheese, red peppers, red onions, and avocado. I wanted something to drink and I saw that they have homemade lemonade with cool, different flavors. I got me a small Guava Lemonade. My panini was freshly prepared. It had a good flavor w/ a nice kick of heat from the habañero aioli (but not spicy in the typical habañero flavor sense). The pulled pork was delicious in taste and texture along with the toppings of muenster cheese, the habañero aioli, red peppers, red onions, and avocado. I should've eaten only one half of the sandwich but I couldn't resist having more, so I finished it. The panini was darn delicious. I liked the restaurant's cozy dining area with outside light coming in. They have a nice patio area as well which would be perfect to sit at on a nice weather day. The staff were friendly and helpful. I liked Dario's a lot and will be going for more. Check them out.

The good about Dario's is the food. I was surprised and thought the sandwich and salad I had was…read morereally good! Haven't had a panini like that in a minute. However, my issue is that I went in with one other person and we ordered two paninis and two cans of sprite (one of each for each of us), with one salad bowl to share. It was $55 dollars after tax. Maybe it's me but it seems like a lot. The service isn't really a question here. It's not bad. They call your name, you grab your food, and bus your own table when you're done. Pretty standard. However, If they did that for you, the price wouldn't bother me as much because thats a proper service. To talk a bit about the restaurant itself, it's small with more space to eat outside than inside, but thats just lovely right now in the summer. The place looks clean too. They had complimentary coffee which was nice. The staff are reasonably young. Probably late high school or freshmen in college but that doesn't mean they can't do a good job. Overall, I don't know if I'd recommend this place to everyone. Im conflicted. I like big portions and quality foods of course, and this was great in flavor, just pricey. To reference the surrounding area, I can go here, or to Emits across the street which is consider the finest dining in downtown Palatine past the Argentinean Bendita and Bella Pizza, and spend around the same amount of money. Still the best panini I've had in a while though.
