    This is my 5th time dining in this restaurant. Each time I am continually impressed by the Quality of food. The new additions to the menu of the Caponata and the Tortallina are delicious. Our server as well as Manager Eddie were very helpful in assisting us in our dinner choices. This is a wonderful, delicious and fun restaurant.

    I’ve been wanting to eat here since it opened so I was happy to have lunch here today. The restaurant is elegant, beautifully decorated and feels like I was in Italy again! George our waiter gave us exceptional service! Very friendly and accommodating. My friend and I had the the best tasting calamari we’ve ever had. I had the Limonchelli special which included Ceasar salad, Chicken Marsala and Cannoli and my friend had the Rigatoni. Both were delicious. Best part of lunch…a sighting of Chef Joey himself! George offered to bring him over to say hello but I didn’t want to bother him. In hindsight I should have taken up the offer since I am fan of Sicilian Butcher, Mexicano and back in the day Hash Kitchen. I definitely plan on returning.

    I now live on the west side, Peoria, and I have brought no less than 12 people at any given time to enjoy Italiano. The staff, food and ambiance are exceptional. I will continue to recommend your restaurant, however, there is an upscale community in and around Vistancia that would love to see you bring a restaurant of this caliber to a community starved for great dining options!

    Food was awesome, our waiter was great. Loved the selection and the table settings. Little bit noisy. We were seated in the fireplace room that helped that a lot. Over all, It was really great!

    Food and service were great. Although we had a reservation at 730p but did not get seated until 8p. Saturdays are extremely busy and staff was overwhelmed.

    Return dinner visit this time on Saturday, with reservation! It was so busy with so many people waiting, I assume our reservations. But we were immediately taken in. The head hostess, a young lady with blonde hair was very helpful and honored my request that we dine once again with our previous waiter Mario! I don't have her name but she was in charge of the hostesses on Saturday night. She was terrific. Our meal was again fantastic. I had the linguine with calamari and my wife had the seafood and pasta which were over the top! I need to mention that the portions are huge! Tremendous value for the quality! And our waiter Mario, we really enjoy him. He's perfect, understands the menu and excellent service without being pretentious! In every respect five star dying experience! Thank you! Nick and Lin

     The restaurant is beautiful, the staff is wonderful and the food is exquisite. The only reason I gave the rating four out of five stars is because of the noise level. The bar is definitely not a place to visit and even in the back of the restaurant, sitting at a table of four people you can’t hear the conversation with an arms length. I hesitate to visit again only because of the noise.
