    Zuppa di Pesce
    Lena M.

    More Recent Update Hubby and I just finish with Parent's Night at our kid's school and wanted something good for dinner before picking up the kids. This restaurant doesn't disappoint one bit! Walking in at 7pm, we were greeted warm and friendly by waitress and seated right away. We were offered nice cool still water and told she was putting a loaf of bread in the oven for us. Our table server was just a friendly. Gave us time to look over the menu and told us about a couple of extra specials not on the menu, including arancini for the appetizer. We ordered that and the grilled octopus, squid, and prawn appetizer. The arancini arrived first. Crispy on the outside, warm and fluffy risotto in the inside, covered with just the right amount of sauce, and the flavorful beef stuffing make it perfection. It transported me to a time in my childhood where I was sitting at the kitchen table of my best friend's aunt's house devouring them every Christmas. The same flavors and texture!

    We recently held a bridal shower here for my daughter and I cannot say enough great things about Chef Giovanni and his staff, especially Anna (she is a treasure!). Although communication was a little difficult ahead of time, Chef Giovanni delivered everything he promised and then some to make this day special. From the beautiful table settings to the courteous and accommodating staff to the abundant and outstanding food, we could not have been more pleased! Everybody raved about the food and the quaint ambiance for the perfect "That's Amore" bridal shower celebration! This is authentic Italian at its best! Grazie!

    Baked clams

    Went here on a whim, but it was a nice spot. I think I lean between a 3 and 4 star review but the dish I had was very good. The dishes the other 3 people I came with were "average" but there are some above average things about this place. First off the inside is really nice. Homey and very comfortable place to dine. Pizza oven and open kitchen (which I love) are on display in the back of the restaurant. Service was also good. Very attentive and good recommendations. Baked clams were like 6/10 IMO. My main dish was amazing, fall-off-the-bone kinda amazing. Ossobruco braised shank in red wine sauce, you won't go wrong. Tiramisu was good. If the other pasta dishes are the table were as good as mine I'd probably go 5 star, but had to go 4. Definitely worth coming in to try their selections.

    Delicious homemade pizza - pepperoni and mushrooms - they add any toppings you want or choose one of the specialty pizzas on their menu.

    Second time and still so good that it may have been a regular monthly visit each time we are in the neighborhood. It is a charming little restaurant. Friendly service and most importantly, authentic Italian food. We went for an early dinner so we ate a bit light, sharing the Calamari Fritti appetizer (which was enough for at least 4 people) and the Bucatini Carbonara made with crispy guanciale (its like pancetta only thicker) in a delicious light cheese and pepper sauce. They are known for the authentic pizza so we took on to go today. Their menu only shows their specialty pizzas but they will add any toppings you want.

    Came here for the first time at the recommendation of a friend for lunch. It is also quit convenient that the friend is Italian and from the Puglia region of Italy which is the cuisine specialty of this restaurant. It is located in a strip mall which does provide it with ample parking. I would have never guessed that this gem would be here in the neighborhood. The menu the choices the cooking is so authentic it is incredible. Pricing is quite fair considering that the portions are very generous. This is a must stop must eat must experience. Since my first experience here I have returned and even celebrated my mom's birthday here. It is great to walk into an Italian restaurant and actually hearing patrons speaking Italian with the staff and the owner. I know it is authentic and brings me right back to my trips to Puglia.

    Wow had gnocchi with porcini and truffle . Omg they were pillows of love in a delicate cream sauce with a smattering of fresh peas and slivers of Italian cheese. Wonderful fresh bread a beautiful Chianti . Been on my list for three years. I will come back and try more of the menu. I really need to venture out and try new places. Really cute little quaint place. They also have outdoor seating it was ninety three today. Uggg I like the cool weather . Maybe I'll come in the fall. They also had a wood burning oven and I would like to try the pizzas.

We reserved to be at the Chef's counter which was not ready at the time of our reservation, that was no problem for us - and the hosts offered us a different table if we wanted it, but we did want to eat at the counter so we wanted to wait. We looked at the menu and decided while we wait we would go grab a drink at the bar. There were no open chairs at the bar and people were standing around the area as well so my girlfriend walked over to the side of the bar to order drinks near the spot where servers will pick up drinks at the bar counter. My gf was not in the way or anything and the bartender points at her in disgust and says "you cannot stand there you need to move". Not one moment of this did he look friendly or happy to serve a customer. My gf stood there for another 5 minutes, neither of the 2 bartenders acknowledged her, or said they would be right with her, they even took an empty glass of a customer at the bar and asked them if they wanted another. Both my gf and I have held jobs involving customer service. I have worked in restaurants for many years of my life when I was a younger adult. We are reasonable and patient people. The Prospect claims to be classy and fine dining, which I will say, the ambiance is wonderful, but your customer service sucks. I'm a big believer in "you get what you pay for" and this does not match. I hope you treat other customers with more care in the future.

    Wife and I finally decided to comeback to this place after a few years, our first experience wasn't…read moregreat. The place was crowded, but we got seated right away. First point the waitress was very nice. First came The bread which was very good, then we ordered the mussels, average garlic sauce awful mussels, way too small And overcooked! You could barely see the mussels inside the shells. I ordered a Braciole and my wife ordered Veal Saltimbocca. We waited about 45 minutes for the food to come, my braciole was flavorless the stuffing didn't taste like anything the meat was tough and tasted boiled, the risotto underneath was Ok, only ate about 1/3 of the braciole, it truly awful. My wife's veal was inedible, very very tough, she couldn't barely cut it! The prosciutto on it was thick and overcooked, disgusting! We told the waitress who was sympathetic, said she would send the manager we never saw him instead she offered free dessert. Moral of the story! We left most of the food on the plates as it was inedible, worse $132.00 I have ever spent, we will not be back, I wouldn't feed that food to a dog!

    On our way home from Prospect Heights to Wheaton, we Yelp searched for "Italian Restaurants Near…read moreMe." Trezeros came up on the Search with good reviews. We were so happy with our lunch experience. The food was better than other Italian restaurants we have ate at. Service was great. Full disclosure. It was a Saturday late lunch and the place was basically empty. Our server started us off with a small loaf of warm Italian bread. Dipping sauce was olive oil with spices and tomatoes. It was heavenly! My husband ordered the Vodka Rigatoni with small asparagus pieces. He said it was better tasting than my homemade Vodka Rigatoni! And he was right! I ordered the Eggplant Salad. What a showstopper it is! It tasted as good as.it looked. The fried eggplant was sliced thin, breaded and fried. The salad included mixed greens, mozzarella slices and tomatoes. Their prices are very reasonable. I urge everyone to go to Trezeros.

    I held my son's graduation party for 15 guests at the Schaumburg, IL location yesterday 05/17/26,…read moresupposedly at 4:00PM. While the day ended on a positive note thanks to some incredible staff members, the management and initial service were deeply disappointing. Despite having a reservation confirmed three weeks in advance and receiving a confirmation call that same morning, our party was not seated until 4:30 PM for a 4:00 PM booking. My husband and I checked in with the host starting at 3:55 PM, only to receive vague, dismissive responses like 'we're working on it.' Worse, the host displayed an unprofessional attitude, stating 'I have already told you in a few minutes' and was seen talking to other hosts about how upset our group was. When I finally spoke with a manager, Don M., his response was unsettling. Rather than apologizing for the 30-minute delay, he simply told me 'I am not kicking you out,' which felt incredibly unprofessional and dismissive for a milestone celebration. After we were seated, Don M. never returned to check on us or acknowledge the delay. Fortunately, Assistant Manager Luis Martinez and our servers, Marco and Georgina, completely saved the day. Luis came to our table to check on us personally, and Marco and Georgina were excellent, accommodating our large group's orders perfectly. If it weren't for their professional care of Luis, Marco and Georgina, I would not return to this location."

    Updating from a previous experience…read more We came to celebrate my dad's birthday with a 6:00 PM reservation on a Friday, and I am so glad we did. While my past visit may have varied, this experience was absolutely fantastic, largely thanks to our incredible server. To start the night, I ordered the Puttin' on the Spritz, which was absolutely delicious. As someone who is celiac/ gluten-free, navigating group dinners can be stressful, but our server made it seamless. We decided to dine family-style. While there weren't any regular appetizers I could have, the restaurant offers a dedicated GF menu, and our server went above and beyond to accommodate me for the rest of the meal: Salads: Family-style comes with two salads, and the server safely modified both to be gluten-free. Entrees: The family-style option includes four entrees. I ordered the Rigatoni D with GF pasta (the menu explicitly notes they can substitute GF pasta). Our server also had the medallion plate specially made gluten-free. The Delivery: When the food arrived, they brought my GF pasta out separately to avoid cross-contamination and even surprised me with my own dedicated plate of GF Chicken Francese! To top it all off, their crème brûlée is naturally gluten-free, and they brought one out just for me to enjoy for dessert. Our server was exceptionally knowledgeable about gluten allergies, and I deeply appreciated how thoroughly cared for I felt throughout the night. The food was delicious across the board. We will definitely be back!
