    Chicken Marsala
    Joy C.

    My kids and I wanted to try Positano Ristorante for a Saturday dinner. I suggest making online reservations because the place gets really busy. We were greeted and seated promptly for our dinner reservations. The place is neat and has a nice vibe. Our server took our drink orders and gave us bread service. For this visit, I've tried: CALAMARI, CHICKEN MARSALA, RIGATONI BARAGIANO, and PENNE ABBRUZZESSE. All of the dishes we ordered were flavorful, tasty, and a little on the heavy side. We had a lot of leftovers since the portions were big. For cocktails, we had a FRENCH MARTINI and a NEGRONI. They were STRONG and delicious. Parking is easy, the place is clean, and the food was good. The service was not consistent though. Our entrees took a long time to be served. Our server was attentive when we started, but we he was MIA after getting our orders in. We tried to get his attention to follow up on our food, but it seemed like he was actually trying to avoid our table (knowing that our food was taking a long time). I liked the dishes that I've tried with my kids on my first visit. I would come back to try other dishes. Hopefully, service will be better then. 'Til next time.

    I've been here twice now and have enjoyed the experience each time. The food is very good and drinks are as well. A few opportunities for improvement though... I've had the same waiter each time and he was less attentive as the night went on, both times. Additionally, I'm not a fan of the waiter letting us order multiple desserts when we celebrated 4 birthdays to then bring us a complimentary dessert. A heads up would have been nice. I'll still come back and hope to get a different server!

    I went to Positano's with my sister and cousins for a girls night dinner. It was my first visit to this restaurant at either of its locations. The Oak Brook location is an aesthetically pleasing space with a large dining area and also an outdoor space. Junior was our server and provided good service and was friendly. The four of us started with wine and cocktails. We decided not to order any appetizers and went straight for the entrées. My cousin had the rigatoni vodka which was fabulous. I asked her for a taste because it looked so good. My sister had the crabcakes appetizer which she thoroughly enjoyed, and my other cousin had a chicken and pasta dish. I had the cavatelli alla nonna for dinner. Positano makes all their pastas in house and they're perfectly prepared. The rich tomato sauce on my cavatelli was delicious. We ordered a limoncello cheesecake for the four of us to split at the end of the meal. It was good but very dense. I like a creamier texture cheesecake. I would definitely come back to this restaurant. The menu is extensive and there's a lot of items that I saw that I would want to try. If you're closer to Wheaton, there's a Positano's there as well.

    Nice vibes for an upscale suburban restaurant in an upscale area. Very good service as expected for such a location. Would return with a dining sponsor but generally not into $40 pasta entrees. =)

    Pollo Vesuvio - delicious!

    Okay, friends. This joint knows what they're doing. Positano Ristorante's food was top-notch. Fresh and flavorful. When we arrived, we were greeted by no fewer than three(!) men at the host stand. Though we didn't have reservations on a Friday night, they managed to find us a table on their heated patio. When you're seated, you're presented with fresh (yes) hot (yes!) bread (yes!!!). It tasted like it was made in-house. Five stars for the attention to detail. I ordered the Pollo Vesuvio and it was a slam-dunk success. The sauce was bright and slightly acidic. The potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken was juicy and well seasoned. Suburban dining can be hit or miss, but Positano is a certifiable Italian bullseye.

    Inside is very cute. I was very hot in here for the little while, but eventually it did cool off. We came when it wasn't busy but it started to get packed while we were finishing up. The bread they gave you was nice and warm inside but rock hard on the outside. both dinners we got were fine. Our service was good. We may come back and try this place again.

    Food was decent. Nothing stand out from other restaurants we dined at in the past. Place was clean and modern.

    We finished with a with many memories and a satisfied stomach.

    The moment I stepped into the restaurant a wave of positive energy and vibes rushed over me. The wait was short even though the restaurant was packed. We enjoyed the scrumptious warm fresh bread with olive oil, cheese and seasonings then ordered our pastas. We had to wait for about 10 minutes til the food came. The food was absolutely delicious. All the flavor and climbed so well and everything was so perfect. We ordered kids fettuccine with Alfredo sauce, rigatoni, à la vodka, and rigatoni with eggplant We've never had such good Italian food! We're definitely coming here again. I won't take a second thought on recommending it.

    Promptly seated with an OpenTable reservation. The location is new and was rather empty before 6:45 on a Wednesday. I was nervous. However the Yelp reviews were spot on. Service was excellent with recommendations and suggestions. No over selling. Many specials, all enticing but we went with standard Italian fare on a new visit. Meal was served so fast and the temp of the food was super hot. Checked on by host and by server. The crumbled sausage add to the bolognese made for a super meaty and slightly spicy pasta dish. Servings very large. We each took home a serving. The pasta was fresh and perfectly cooked. The bread was crusty and crunchy, perhaps a tad dry. Wine prices were good and we had a bottle of the Italian interesting white but I can't remember r the name. Either way would recommend and we would go again the next time we come to Lombord. Ambiance is your typical new school Italian. White paper over a white table cloth. Decent space between tables. The crowd picked up around 7:30.

    I was surprised, pleasantly surprised by this place located on a strip mall. Met a friend for dinner, we choose this place because is located in between l, a middle point to gather. Had a old fashion at the bar area. Inviting space, good cocktails. The food was excellent and plenty. We ordered one appetizer and one entree to share (see below for description)Both choices were fantastic and portions huge. We both took leftovers. The place was jumping on Thursday, very popular for good reasons. POLPETTE CON POLENTA - Three home made meatballs served over creamy polenta topped with tomato basil sauce and shaved parmigiano And POLLO PARMIGIANA 24 - Roasted chicken breasts lightly breaded, topped with mozzarella and parmesan, in a tomato basil sauce served with a side of linguini pasta

After a few minutes, we're brought bread and a nice oil with an olive salad, balsamic and cheese. Excellent start. Except... no waiter or waitress for at least 10 minutes. That's OK. We've got our ice waters. After our drink orders we taken, we were certain after about 15 more minutes that our waitress forgot about us. Not only that... it was extremely hard to get her attention. Finally got our lunch order in and the food was out not too long thereafter. The chicken parm was average. A little too well cooked and burnt on the edges. The cheese, sauce, and pasta were all good. The piccata was also just ok. Perhaps there are other things on the menu that this place does a lot better? I'm hoping so. The restaurant itself was nice with a ton of tables... and not too jam packed. Has a definite Italian feel. The porch/patio is nice with a cover and side walls for when it's cooler or there's weather. For the price point (greater than a $60 lunch for 2 people without alcohol), there are too many other excellent places in the immediate area. Would have to be convinced to come back and try something else.

I ordered the chilled lump crap and shrimp salad off the specials. It tasted super fresh and came with a reasonable portion of protein. The overall presentation was a bit sad but I guess there is only so much you can do with a salad. It tasted good and that's what really matters. Service did seem to slow down by the end of our meal though. It took a while to get the check and an even longer while for someone to collect the check. Overall, though, a solid dining spot to celebrate something special or even just a casual shopping day.

Located in what used to be Anthony's, the Italian steakhouse, the ambiance is actually quite nice- but it's the service that needs some work. We stopped in after a meeting in the hotel for a drink with a small group. The space is nice- leather chairs clustered around tables in front of a fake fireplace. Murals on the walls, and a bar that stretches across the one wall. Even though there wasn't a big crowd on the night we were there- service was slow. We finally walked up to the bar to get our drinks. We ordered a snack of some chips and guac but it was disappointing as there wasn't enough guac to go with the quantity of chips provided. If you like a good martini- they've got them here- but no blue cheese olives which is a must in my book! It's a bar in a suburban hotel. I didn't expect much and that's what I got.

    My sister and I were looking for a place we could meet for a glass of wine. I had some online gift…read morecertificates to use after Christmas and a quick search of that website lead me to The Den. It looked harmless and we were mainly going for wine and to catch up with each other so I bought the certificate and off we went. The Den is located inside the Oak Brook Doubletree hotel and there is no indication from outside the hotel where the restaurant is so I punted as far as parking was concerned. Luckily, I picked the correct side of the hotel. At first glance, the inside of the restaurant is a little dated, but it was clean, cozy, and quiet. I was directed to pick any seat I wanted. Looking over the menu there were some affordable starters/small plates, and a decent selection of entrees (@ 5 non beef and 5 beef). The wine list was nothing special either in information or choice. I was going to start with a Pinot Noir, and asked about a particular Wine maker as nothing else was listed on the sheet besides the wine maker, appellation, variety and vintage. I knew that wine maker had several labels of Pinot Noir so I asked the server which they were pouring. He came back and said it wasn't listed on the bottle. I guess I could have asked to see the bottle, but it just seemed like too much work for me too. I went with it and it was fine. Started with a Caesar salad with no croutons. Not only were there no croutons, but the listed "crispy prosciutto" and cheese was missing. Whatever. I was STARVING and ate it without complaint. Next on the list was a cheese plate. The cheese plate was listed as having brie, blue and aged white cheddar, along with grapes, crackers and walnuts. What we got was a young yellow cheddar, some smoked gouda, and boursin cheese spread with crackers and dried cranberries. Again, i was using a gift certificate so I didn't want to make a fuss, but my sister and I brought it up to the server that basically nothing that was described on the plate was actually on the plate. Also mentioned the salad mistake too (might as well go for broke). He apologize and went back to the kitchen and see what was up. When he came back he apologize as he noticed the salad was incorrect but didn't do anything about it, and he also said that there were two different menus going on and the chef was working off a different menu. He then brought out a much bigger plate with a little brie, some blue cheese, what I think was a mild mexican cheese, and something that tasted like minibabybel. Still no cheddar. We ordered more wine, and got some olives and I ordered a rib-eye. The server suggested I get the all-you-can-eat NY strip, (thanks for bringing that up) but I still went with the rib-eye. While only 14 oz, it was decent and bone-in (which was a nice surprise) and I would think I great selling feature. For our third round of drinks, the server suggested a meritage they had. My sister stayed with the cab, but I tried it. It wasn't bad, but it was very warm. When we asked for the check, he brought it out and I noticed it was just under $100. I waited for him to come back and explained I had one of those $50 off it you spend $100 certificates and we would probably need to split another glass of wine. He explained that it would be no problem to just use the certificate now as he had not charged for the last round of drinks as a thank-you. That was really nice of him, but it was really something he should have addressed when he first dropped off the check..." hey folks, sorry for the inconveniences you've experienced. I got you a round of drinks. I hope you'll try us again." Overall, our server was nice, but he lacked presence on the floor. And there were only 5 tables at the most going on. Now I get that this is a hotel venue, so perhaps repeat business isn't a priority, but with better service and some quality control, I could see this place really taking off as an after-work location. As it is now, I would go back if someone else wanted to go, or if I had another gift certificate, but it definitely isn't on my list of "must go back" spots.

Also, I felt that the food offering, especially for the savory items was quite limited. There were only nine choices. However, the choices were all loose leaf tees, which was great.
