First time here with the kids and it was a great experience. The food was good, service was on point, and the ambiance is great! Love the fact that they have basically the same menu in GF! I've never seen that before and can really appreciate that. Prices are decent considering portion sizes. Will be coming back for sure.

Dining room & separate dining area

First the staff was beyond nice and friendly, our server Lacey was so friendly and an all around great server. The owner Paul came by the table ask how we were doing, talked a few minutes and was a really nice guy. We had pizza and lasagna. The pizza was nice and thin crust and crispy. The sauce and sausage were really good. The lasagna was really good as well, really big piece you get with soup or salad, we had mushroom barley soup again really good. And something so simple as garlic bread was one of the best garlic bread I've ever had. Inside is decorated really nice, they have a dining room, they have a separate room I think for parties and they also have a bar. It was nice and clean too. We will definitely be going back. We are not gluten free but I know ppl who are and they have a big gluten free menu!

Been driving by this place for 2 years and the parking lot is always packed. Decided to give it a try tonight and luckily we were seated with no issue at 6:00. Tuesdays is $20 chicken night and it includes soup or salad. Both of us went for the chicken and weren't disappointed, a solid choice with leftovers for tomorrow.

Nestled in the streets of Naperville this cute little place has good vibes. The ambiance is cozy yet vibrant, perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a romantic evening. This is a family owned business and the owners personally took care of the customers. Traverso's pizzas are a work of art, with thin, crispy crusts that perfectly complement the rich, flavorful toppings. Whether you're a fan of classic Margherita or adventurous enough to try their signature Traverso Special, each pie is crafted with care and attention to detail. But pizza isn't the only star of the menu. Traverso also offers a tantalizing selection of appetizers, salads, and pasta dishes, each bursting with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Don't miss their homemade tiramisu for dessert - it's the perfect sweet ending to a delightful meal. Service at Traverso is warm and attentive, with staff members who are passionate. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you'll feel like part of the family from the moment you walk in. In summary, Traverso Pizzeria is a must-visit destination for any lover of Italian food. With its cozy atmosphere, mouthwatering menu, and exceptional service, it's sure to leave you craving more. Buon appetito! Food: 9/10 Ambience: 10/10 Service: 10/10

Traversos's is an absolute must for pizza. From their original location in Orland Park to their current location in Naperville the pizza, the decor, the smell when you pick up your pizza in the cozy pick up room, still has that same great vibe thankfully! Traversos's has a storied history and a following that keeps this place packed always. Traversos's has that feeling of being welcomed and appreciated. The leather on the walls has a comfort to it that makes me feel like they know. They know Italian and they know pizza. Traversos's history continues today still being in the family. I have many memories of the original location especially the enormous and just as soft wall hanging in the lobby. Remember those big wood doors? How about those seemingly out of place steps not quite right outside the pickup room in the parking lot. They need to install those in the parking lot outside the pick up room in Naperville. Traversos's will be around for a long time. Next time you're picking up a pizza make sure to read the history of Traversos's proudly displayed in the pick up room and also attached with the pictures here. It will make you feel proud to support Traversos's. I've always been back and hope you do the same.

Mixed Greens Salad

Cozy Neighborhood Restaurant in Naperville. We ordered grilled Salmon, Salad of Mixed Greens, and Gluten Free Chicken Tenders/Garlic Bread. This place has one of the largest selection of Gluten Free items in the area. The Gluten Free Fried Chicken is also popular here. They were also flexible with accommodating for various other food allergies. Restaurant was clean and food was fresh. Thank You

I drive by this place all the time. The Chicago thin crust pizza group on FB led me here. I guess…read moreall of the high reviews on Google and Yelp had me hyped up. I ordered garlic bread and a 14" meat lovers pizza to go. They do have some seating inside, more seating than I expected. Initially, the garlic bread was okay. It has a more buttery taste than the other ones I've had. After I reheated it on my pizza stone, it became very tasty and crispy. The garlic bread I give it is 4.5. It tastes great if you use a pizza stone. The pizza on the other hand, I was underwhelmed. I ate it when it was fresh as well as on the pizza stone. The crust is bland and tasteless. The sauce was great. The toppings were okay. I ordered this ultra thin, crispy, and extra sauce. Pizza is like 2.5-3. Overall experience is a 3. This is a one and done for me.

Walking in, I gravitated towards the sign of specials, and then was guided to a table. Along with complimentary bread, I was treated to the sight of an owner (Mama Brasi, as one customer called her) who was visibly engaged in the lives of the clientele, both with repeat customers carrying out as well as with a family dining in, and their little girl who was a fan of salads. A hot bowl of minestrone arrived and added to the warm feelings. But it was the eggplant involtini special that was the star. Cooked and seasoned well, a healthy supply of sauce (I could see some sauce fiends wanting more, but I was content), and enough to take home a bit for lunch the next day. Early November was a little chilly sitting by the door, so keep that in mind for colder months, as there's not much they can do about that.

The staff was so accommodating and helpful; I had never thrown a party myself before and they made everything a breeze. Super well organized, such a fun space, and people are still raving about the food! Our server was attentive the whole time and did a great job, which is not easy with a group of that size. I absolutely recommend Paisan's for everything from a date night out to a family party. This place has you covered!

However, when I asked for a water refill or a new plate, he got it. I would say average but not above average service. We ordered dragon fries, baked ziti, and supreme pizza with the caramelized crust. Overall this is like a 3. 3 for me is a one and done. I wanted to try a new pizza place but this was a disappointment. -dragon fries 5 - this was good. The sauce is tangy with some spice. It's not super spicy but this would go well on wings. -baked ziti 2 - I had a lot of pasta and this one was one of the worst. The noodles tasted a bit too rubbery, it should be softer. The sauce had no flavor. -supreme pizza 3 - maybe I should have gotten the tavern style because the supercharged pizza tasted doughy and kind of bland. I even reheated it on my pizza stone at home and it does taste better with a crispier crust. However, it was still mid.

In the ongoing saga of trying to find a restaurant that works for all three of us: my vegan wife,…read moreme (a very NOT vegan) and our picky 8-year old, tonight's episode took place at Fiammé in downtown Naperville. Its very hard to find spots that can accommodate our very particular palates, and even more hard to find good vegan options outside of the city. Thats why I was excited to find this lovely Italian restaurant. The parking lot is small but there's a good amount of sidestreet parking. The inside is warm, cozy and super clean (including the restrooms ). The hospitality stood out right away. The owners and wait staff were very welcoming, and our server was fantastic; honest (which I appreciate), knew the menu well, and once she realized our situation, gave us some wonderful direction on what to order. I wouldn't say that the menu is overwhelming, but I rarely go to a restaurant where it takes me that long to decide what I want. There are lots of interesting options, from braised short rib ravioli to baked ziti, and several tasty appetizers (highly recommend the calamari). But we had come for the PIZZA. My daughter got the kids cheese pizza. It was surprisingly bigger than we thought, and at a great price. The kid only ate half before she said, "I like it...this might be better than [insert famous Chicago pizza brand]." (you MUST KNOW that this is high praise from a 3rd grader). My wife ordered the "They Don't Have Beef With Me" vegan Detroit-style pizza, and I have to admit, it was very good. Somehow they pulled off a buttery (but not butter) crust with melty vegan cheese (but NOT cheese ). Absolutely nailed it. I would have eaten more of hers if I hadn't ordered the Butcher pizza from the wood-fired menu. It was OUTSTANDING. Great flavor, perfect texture. Easily one of thee best wood-fired pizzas I've ever had. We're not drinkers, but they do have a good wine list and some nice zero-proof options, including the Amber Apple and The Drip. We didn't make it to dessert, mostly because the portions are generous, so our bellies (and our to-go boxes) were full. We will definitely be back to try other menu options and for dessert. If your family or friend group includes picky palates or dietary restrictions (the pizzas can be made gluten-free as well), then run...don't walk...to Fiammé. 100/10 recommend.

Make sure to make a reservation because they do get busy, and not be in a hurry because it is smaller inside so you may have to wait after your reservation time to be seated depending on table availability. The food was delicious - we started with the mozzarella sticks - SO GOOD. I ordered the vegetable wood fired pizza and it was good, my husband ordered the Detroit Style double pepperoni and it was also very yummy. The portion sizes are generous so we both ended up taking half of ours home. We are definitely coming back again, I want to try the Fiamme Special firewood pizza!
