Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Melrose Park

We loved our breakfast at Little Goat, and keep in mind that it is little. Recommend booking ahead. The Okonomiyaki was a wonderful bowl of flavor and textures. Chocolate scone was big, had a good crunchy crust and delicious. Wait staff were friendly and attentive.

Our meal at Girl & the Goat was wonderful! The service was friendly and helpful. He knew the menu and ensured our experience delicious. We began our dinner with the naan. The dips served alongside were excellent. Next we enjoyed the chickpea fritters that we crisp with creamy inside, accented by pomegranate. We definitely wanted to try the goat empanadas, and were glad that we did. Our next course that we enjoyed were the wood-fired mussels. The broth was delicious. We ended with the roasted pig face. Our server enticed us with dessert. We finished our meal with the apple hand pie. Overall, we loved this place.

Piacere Mio never disappoints! Every time I dine here, I’m reminded why it’s one of my favorite spots. The pasta Bolognese was absolutely incredible—just as good as (if not better than) what I’ve had in Italy! The flavors were rich, the pasta perfectly cooked, and every bite was pure comfort. Beyond the food, the service is what truly sets this place apart. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and attentive, making every visit feel special. Whether it’s your first time or you’re a regular, they treat you like family. I love this place and can’t wait for my next visit! If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with amazing service, this is the place to be.

Best restaurant hands down! No wonder it won the title of best neighborhood gem. Everything about the place is great.... food... atmosphere... staff. Wonderful way to spend the day!

The food was good. Customer service was okay.
