As someone with Celiac disease, navigating the menu was a bit stressful. There are no gluten-free markers or a dedicated GF menu, though it does state that most items can be prepared GF. I informed the server about my Celiac restriction, and while she did note it for the kitchen (it was even printed on the check), she wasn't very proactive or helpful with the menu. When I asked what I could actually eat, she didn't really go over my options. They don't offer GF bread, but they do have GF penne. I had to ask which sauces were safe, and was given three options. I went with the cherry tomato sauce, which came with a lot of tomatoes, and the penne itself was just okay. To top it off, they didn't really have any GF desserts (aside from maybe gelato, but I wasn't in the mood for that). Overall, it's a decent spot for a big group, but if you have Celiac, be prepared to do a lot of the heavy lifting and asking questions yourself.

Excellent food. Been back many times, and have never been disappointed…read more Highly recommend the calamari and the grigliata di pesce.

We were in South Elgin running errands today. I did a Google search on restaurants near the places…read morewe would be at Louie Angelo's came up un the list. Italian food is our most favorite cuisine. Many Italian restaurants are fancy high price place restaurants. We were excited to find a casual Italian restaurant where the emphasis is on serving delicious food rather than having a fancy setting. The fried zucchini with homemade ranch dressing was very good. Be sure to ask for additional parmesan cheese to sprinkle on it. The rigatoni with vodka sauce was very good. I had the Buratta salad with red pepper strips and balsamic glaze. I would order this again. One minor point. The salad greens were about 50% spinach leaves and then the other 50% was mixed lettuce. For me, that was too much spinach. Their balsamic dressing was perfect for this salad. I wish we lived closer to this restaurant. I would come here very.often.

Food is 5 stars for sure, it's huge portions and the flavor is so good!! We've dined here 4 times…read morenow and have tried quite a few things and have loved them all. Service is another story. each time we've gone there have been two servers and when we get the tall Italian guy he's super attentive and great. But unfortunately the woman is not great and it makes for a less than stellar experience. She comes across as rude, she always seems overwhelmed and then she goes MIA at times. We brought friends for the first time and they even made comments about how she's allowed to still work there since she's not great. If it wasn't for her I'd definitely give the five stars!

Okay, so we had dinner here based on hearing from others that the food was really good…read more It's located inside an old church so the history of that was appealing as well. They only take phone reservations so you have to call. Walked into our reservation everything standard up until then, and we got our seats and it was a really small corner booth with barely enough room but fine we rolled with it. They must have only had one server because it took almost an hour to get our drinks. The server came to see us about 10 minutes in and said be right back...fast forward 45 minutes she comes back takes a drink order and says it's going to be a little bit because she also has to make the drinks since the bartender called off work. Okay, rolled with it finally got our drinks. Finally placed food order and for a fear of waiting by longer we ordered apps and main course at a the same time. Well, both came out back to back lol of course. Shrimp appetizer from the Valentine's Day menu, chicken parm and chicken Marsala - all delicious! We didn't have enough room on our table but figured it out. Dessert - chocolate cake also really good. Service was not great but I also wonder if it's because they seemed to only have 1 person working. This is a place I'd consider ordering take out from and not dining in again.

I was brought where for a pre Christmas dinner. I had never heard of this restaurant and didn't…read moreknow what to expect. The walkway to the restaurant was decorated with lights and Christmas ornaments. The windows all had wreaths. We walk in without reservations and were seated immediately upstairs. The restaurant has two levels. It was pretty busy for a weeknight but our server checked on us right away. We were brought bread and the menu was explained. We decided to order the fixed price meal. It came with a choice of appetizer, two entrees, dessert and a bottle of wine. We went with the toasted ravioli appetizer. My entree was the Misto Di Mare. Angel hair pasta with shrimp, scallops and salmon. My friend had the pasta with shrimp and mushrooms. The food was delicious. The restaurant is so cozy and I loved how it looked like a restaurant fit for a Hallmark Christmas movie. The music in the background was wonderful. At one point someone came out and sang Happy Birthday in Italian and then sang That's Amore. What an amazing dinner at an amazing restaurant. Highly recommend !

I am an Italian restaurant snob because most of the time I can make it at home 1000% better. Not in this case! The layers of flavors and quality was totally next level. Being set in a home converted to a restaurant lends to the vibe of eating at my Italian Grandmas house. They are not open late and last seating is around 8:30. Our party of six had a reservation for 8pm. The place was full when we got there and would recommend reservations. Looking forward to my next visit.
