Best Authentic Restaurants in Berwyn

We shared the sea bass and a Greek salad. Both were very good. Our friends had a gyros plate and a spanakopita and both liked their meal. The wine list was very detailed and we shared two desserts, the rice pudding and the custard phyllo dessert. Both were excellent

Gaia Italian Restaurant is offering more than just a meal — it’s a journey to Sicily, brought to life by a family who knows the meaning of authentic hospitality. Executive Chef Maurizio, with his roots deeply tied to Sicily, crafts dishes that are as heartfelt as they are flavorful. Our experience there last night was nothing short of amazing! We enjoyed some of their handmade pasta which is always cooked to perfection, and the sauces are rich and flavorful. Try the Cacio e Pepe experience. The seafood dishes were particularly notable, from the Cioppino to the Grilled Octopus, with flavors that remind you of the Mediterranean coastline. Chef Maurizio’s specials are always worth exploring — they highlight his creativity and love for bold, authentic ingredients. Last nights specials didn't disappoint!!! The cocktail menu is equally impressive, featuring unique creations, and the wine selection is impeccable, with many Sicilian and Italian varieties that paired beautifully with our meals. The ambiance at Gaia is intimate yet lively, making it perfect for a family gathering or a night out with friends. The family ownership shines through in every interaction — they truly make you feel like part of their extended family. If you're looking for an authentic Italian experience with a touch of Sicilian magic, Gaia Italian Restaurant is where you need to be. It’s a little slice of Italy right here at home. Bravo, Chef Maurizio and team! 🇮🇹❤️

Atmosphere & seating were that of a restaurant in a Greek village in Greece. Loved it! The menu had a nice selection of authentic food, & was delicious. The pork chop was enormous & done to perfection. My friend had the chicken skewers, & they, too, were flavorful. My Old Fashion was one of the best I’ve ever had. To top it off, we ordered the pistachio gelato for dessert…to die for. Prices, I felt, were reasonable. My only complaint, is the noise level. Live music was good, but a bit much for smaller area. I will be back!

Beautifully decorated place! Definitely great for birthdays and special events. The staff is very attentive and very committed to make your experience a great one. Food and drinks were delicious!

We have dined at Maya del Sol several times and we are never disappointed. The whole place has a nice vibe - the large bar area is boisterous and the dining room is busy but cozy. It strikes a nice balance between city and suburbs nestled in downtown Oak Park. Perfect for date night or dinner with family or friends. The food is delicious. We always start with the nachos, which have a tangy mango braised beef. Everything on the menu is good, from the enchiladas to the tamales, to the burger and the salads. The drinks are good, and the service is excellent. You really can’t go wrong with this place!
