    I have been a Gordon Ramsay fan for 25 years, until today I had never been able to dine at one of his signature restaurants. My wife and I made the trip to the Ramsays Kitchen in Naperville, IL for her 40th Birthday. It was everything we could have hoped for being such fans of Hell’s Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, etc. Started our evening with some cocktails and an appetizer of the Parker rolls. They were the best dinner roll I ever had. Toasted Brioche roll, covered in a herb butter and sea salt. Crispy on the top with air like fluffiness everywhere else. My wife had the Shrimp and Lobster Pasta and I had the legendary Beef Wellington. It was everything I hoped it would be and worth every penny. My wife was also kind enough to share a bite of her pasta for a bite of the Wellington….worth it for both of us! This meal was also accompanied by a side of their famous Truffle Fries, which were cooked to perfection, the truffle aioli was great! As this was a Birthday, it was celebrated with a Sticky toffee pudding, which is topped with Vanilla ice cream, and served with a caramel sauce. They brought my wife’s with a candle and said “Don’t worry, we won’t sing, but wish you the happiest of birthdays!”Extremely polite and caring staff. The pudding was rich but smooth, sweet and savory, creamy, salty and I would have this any time. Multiple staff members wished my wife a happy birthday, and truly made this a personalized experience. Would recommend this establishment to EVERYONE. Thank you Ramsay’s Kitchen for a wonderful evening and a memorable experience!

    We hadn’t been back to La Sorella in a few years and it was a treat to be back. The atmosphere is amazing, the food was exceptional and the service was friendly and welcoming. We’ll be back again soon. In our mind, LaSorella is a Naperville treasure
