Oh my goodness everything was so SO good!…read more I had this one bookmarked forever and had driven by throughout the decades and finally decided to give it a go. The parking lot is small but we snagged a good spot when it wasn't that busy. They have so much to choose from! Everything we tried was delicious! Very well sized arranchini ! We also tried their meat lasagna and brosciul and it was all delectable. So glad to have tried an Italian staple that's been there for many years, loved the old school feel. Friendly service! It's cash only!

For anyone who truly appreciates great pasta, this spot is a gem. Everything is made fresh and you…read morecan taste the difference in every bite. The ambiance has that warm, authentic Italian feel that makes you want to sit back, enjoy a glass of wine, and take your time with the meal. Service is always A1 -- welcoming, attentive, and they even greet you with a little surprise when you arrive, which is such a nice touch. The ownership clearly takes pride in what they do, and it shows in both the food and the experience. Fresh pasta made to order, fantastic flavor, and prices that are more than fair for the quality. If you're in the area and love real Italian food, this place is an absolute must-try.

Salad was enough for 4 - 6 people. Me and my partner had plenty of leftovers. So many ingredients almost too many to list. The ingredients that stood out were the Asparagus, mushrooms, and broccolini. Ingredients were hot and delicious. We split the Carmelized Onion Tortellini. It was magical. Great buttery taste and the Carmelized Onions oozed out of the tortellini when I cut into it with the fork. We were stuffed when we left and had enough leftovers to eat for dinner the next day. Cannot wait to go back....

We love the lasagna, and don't let the small size or the price throw you, these are the best. The meat lasagna is really delicious and the pasta so tender. There is street parking, and a small lot.

By this point, I think Berto's has earned enough recognition in DG to be a historical landmark like…read morethe Tivoli Theatre. Not only does this shop fully support the community -- even naming sandwiches after nearby schools, they also have a wide variety of delicious offerings. I haven't lived in IL for about 10 years and I decided to take a walk down memory lane and visit Berto's like I did regularly so many years ago. It hit theeee exact same. Family traditions so strong you can taste them in every bite and they've now carried that torch successfully for nearly three decades. This family owned Deli is exact place you want to support and the best spot to stop for lunch or a quick to-go dinner to bring home to the family. They also have prepped frozen pasta and sauces. Parking behind the building and cutting through the alley makes it easily accessible.

First time trying Berto's today after hearing good things about their sandwiches…read more I placed an Uber Eats pickup order around 11:40 AM, and the app notified me around 11:50 that the order was ready. I arrived around noon. The place wasn't busy from a customer standpoint. There was no line, a few people eating, and four employees behind the counter preparing food. I could already see a bag with my name on it sitting behind the counter, but after standing there for a couple minutes, nobody acknowledged me. Eventually someone came over, but there was no greeting, smile, or "Can I help you?" I gave my name, he put the bag on the counter, slid it aside, and walked away without saying anything. As I started leaving, another employee called out that the order actually wasn't ready yet, despite the app saying it was. She added another sandwich to the bag, tied it up, and handed it back to me. Again with no thank you, apology, or even basic friendliness. The sandwiches were decent, but not so amazing that the customer experience doesn't matter. I'm seeing this kind of indifferent attitude at more and more restaurants lately, and it really affects whether I come back. A little acknowledgment and courtesy goes a long way.

A big variety of food. The specials are interesting. I chose the cheese ravioli special with wild mushrooms. Friend had marinara pasta with sausage. We had a starter the cheese burrata and the prosciutto on the side. The cheese was soooooo good. Vanessa went out of her way to make us happy. We had to send the pasta back as it was too spicy for my friend. They remade it and it was perfect for her. I had a blanc de blanc champagne but there was no fizz and the waitress happily got me a different sparkling. I loved the ravioli. Great ambiance. Highly recommend.

An absolutely excellent Italian experience, Valentino's impressed on every level. Fantastic food,…read moregreat value for the portions, highly engaged service staff, and a boldness of flavors above expectations. Our table had a host of appetizers including the Meatball Ricotta, Shrimp Oreganata, Fried Provolone, and Calamari. The meatball was absolutely enormous (enough for four to share easily), and was very well balanced by the sauce and creamy ricotta it was served upon. My personal favorite was the calamari though, which was a combination of the rings and tentacles perfectly salted and fried until delightfully crispy. Don'f forget to dunk those in the sauce they provided! For entrees, I tried a little bit of the dry aged pork chop (super smoky, immaculately tender, and subtly sweet), but the chicken piccata, was the star of the show for me. Refreshingly bright from the lemon, salty capers, and marinated artichokes, the dish was savory and refreshing when paired with the crispy fried potatoes. So good, and I think the best chicken piccata I've ever had! The tiramisu and lemoncello cake were big hits at the table, but the creme brûlée was so simple yet perfectly sweet and smooth that it would definitely be my go-to choice next time. You truly cannot go wrong at this place, and would certainly make an excellent date or celebration location that I'd recommend in a heartbeat.
