We had a really nice time last weekend at Bar Salotto. While they do not take reservations, we did…read morenot have a wait - and it was an enjoyable experience in the back room. We were able to snag a back table so not loud and we can hear the whole table. We started with the Hearts of Palm salad to share. It was perfect to share with three people as a starter and we all loved the lemon vinaigrette. For entrees - I got the thin crust Garden Pizza special - artichokes, pesto, pine nuts, other veggies. I thought it was delicious and it reheated very nicely the next day. Others at the table - got the salmon, sausage pizza and spicy vodka pasta. Everyone enjoyed. Our server (AJ) was fabulous and joked with the table - he made the experience enjoyable as well as the atmosphere of the restaurant. While we're not in Arlington Heights often, it is a place I would recommend.

The evening began with the sort of optimism that has historically led men into bankruptcy, war, and…read moresecond marriages. The hostess appeared wearing a blue-and-white striped sweater hanging off one shoulder like she'd stepped out of an Italian perfume commercial. Around her neck was one of those little cornicello pepper necklaces, dangling just enough to suggest fate had finally decided to throw me a bone. Blue eyes. Not "blue." The kind of blue sailors used to abandon families over. She laughed at one of my jokes. That was all the encouragement my diseased brain required. I immediately conducted a full tactical assessment of the restaurant. The P.O.A. Index... ...was approaching DEFCON 1. Every direction I looked was another devastatingly attractive waitress carrying Aperol Spritzes with effortless confidence. It was like wandering into a government-funded supermodel relocation program. Then... A shadow fell across the table. A man. Our waiter was a man. Christ Almighty. The emotional whiplash nearly snapped my neck. It's like going to the zoo hoping to see lions and discovering the enclosure has been replaced with an accountant named Kevin. There are beautiful women everywhere, and somehow I'm discussing pasta recommendations with a guy who probably knows three different olive oils by taste. Cruel. Absolutely cruel. To his credit, the b@5tard was outstanding. Friendly. Fast. Knew the menu inside and out. Kept the drinks full. Never interrupted. The s.o.b. gave me absolutely nothing to complain about, which only deepened my resentment. The food, meanwhile, was infuriatingly good. The pizzas arrived looking like they'd been blessed by an Italian grandmother carrying unresolved anger from 1947. Thin crust. Fresh mozzarella. Just enough char to remind you that ovens are supposed to flirt with fire, not electricity. The pasta had that unmistakable handmade texture that makes Olive Garden feel like a felony. The cocktails disappeared with alarming speed. By my third Negroni, I was convinced I could hear Dean Martin narrating my life. Walking out, I glanced back toward the hostess one last time. She smiled. For approximately three seconds I considered abandoning my entire life to become a part-time sommelier with absolutely no qualifications. Then reality returned. The male waiter handed me the check. Four stars. The food was phenomenal. The cocktails were dangerous. The hostess should be classified as an Italian national treasure. And our waiter deserves a raise... despite committing the unforgivable crime of existing between me and the waitresses.

Our…read morelarge group had the entire restaurant to ourselves from 5pm - 11pm and it was everything a private event should be. Service throughout was consistent and of great quality. Staff members were on top of their game, taking care of 50+ people who were ready to drink/eat and have a great time. Whenever I had an empty plate it was quickly removed to make room for another. This casual yet elevated bar offers delicious drinks and food. I did not have any alcohol but from what I was told the drinks were strong and tasty. The food hit the spot for me. We were provided with a TON of food, to the point where to go boxes were put out since there was plenty to bring home. My favorites were the Buffalo Mac n cheese, cheese curds, and chicken tenders. They also had veggie options which I appreciated since this was a carb heavy event. For dessert there were cookies which was the perfect way to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth.

We decided to reserve a table here after watching a musical at the Marriott Lincolnshire Theatre…read more Cooper's Hawk is right down the road from here. We arrived prior to the reservation time and had to wait 15-20 minutes but we were ok with it as we were having a good conversation while waiting. After we were seated, the server promptly gave us waters and asked if we wanted anything to drink while waiting. We ordered a caprese flatbread and for my main dish I had the baked Parmesan shrimp scampi. The shrimp appetizer was a special but it was served to our table by mistake. The server just gave it to us. The caprese flatbread was delicious as usually. I really liked the balsamic glaze. I also feel the ingredients were evenly balanced. I didn't eat any of the shrimp appetizer so I cannot comment but it looked good. The main dish I had was so good that I was intending to save half, I ended up eating it all. The White Wine sauce was delicious and the shrimp was tender and not overcooked. Overall, we had a good time and ended up staying longer due to being with good company. The server was very nice and attentive. If it wasn't for the wait for our table, I would have given a 5 star review as everything else was good.

Everything we tried was good, satisfying, and exactly what you want late at night. The turkey club stood out--real turkey, not processed deli meat, which feels surprisingly rare these days. Overall, we liked the food and would especially recommend ordering takeout if you're craving dependable, higher-quality pub food after hours. Unfortunately, not having been in person, there is not much that we can say about the ambiance or staff, though they do accommodate substitutions on takeout, which is an indicator of good service.

We were seated immediately, and the waitress immediately brought out some warm tortilla chips and one of the hottest, most amazing salsa I've ever said. Now. I've had salsa, and I've had salsa. This...was SALSA! Absolutely perfectly made, thoroughly spiced and incredibly hot. It was delicious! Hot diggity dog! NB In case you can't tell, I love very hot, very flavourful food. So, anyway. We both ordered 'house' margaritas (being a bit uncertain of anything else) and not only were they wonderfully cool and delicious, they were quite enormous. It was like a goldfish bowl, on a stem. Hot diggity dog! La Presas specialises in seafood entrées and they did not disappoint; everything was wonderfully prepared and presented beautifully. I ordered the seafood ceviche (with octopus) and it was wonderful; I can't believe I finished the entire platter. NB As one may imagine, I didn't have much dinner that night. La Presa is an excellent restaurant, with excellent food and wonderful service. I will definitely plan to return!
