- DDorothyChicago / Illinois •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoThe food and service was great. Prices were reasonable but I have to downgrade the rating because the restaurant was cold. I realize that is was cold the night we were there but we requested a table further from the front door and could not get accomadated. Every time the door opened there was a blast of cold air. Had to keep coats in during entire meal.More infoGiardino Trattoria & PizzeriaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Aurora•4.6

- DDiannaVIPChicago / Illinois •32 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 14, 2024Our first time to Two Brothers and we loved it! We had several craft beers - outstanding! Food was also outstanding - Chicken Piccata, Prime Rib, and Walleye. Only the burger was disappointing - somewhat dry and the bun, not so good. Service was fantastic. Food came fairly fast even though it was packed on a Saturday night. Overall, highly recommend!!More infoTwo Brothers RoundhousePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Aurora•4
- KKarenVIPChicago / Illinois •30 reviews4.0Dined on Dec 8, 2024Food and drinks are always good. The atmosphere is lively and frequently loud. So, we asked in our reservation and again in person to be seated in a quieter location but instead were seated next to a table with children who screamed throughout the meal. This was exacerbated by our service being slower than usual. She was friendly but not attentive and twice forgot to bring a drink requested. We also had to wait a while for our bill making us very tight for our show despite allowing 75 min for an early 5pm dinner. Again, food was good but overall experience not up to usual standard.More infoLas Quinta De Los ReyesPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Aurora•4.6
