Best Authentic Restaurants in Des Plaines

The food was excellent. Our server was wonderful so efficient and professional. Great restaurant

Steve and his group are always so accommodating. We've been going to Nonna Silvia's for decades as mom used to be their wine supplier and introduced us. Delicious food, the best tiramisu EVER and simply wonderful staff.

This was our first visit on a busier (Friday) night, and it was very festive! Our service was excellent as always. The Carne Asada tacos and Chorizo tacos were so good, and the Queso Fundito was amazing as always. The atmosphere may be my favorite part-- twinkling lights, ceiling decorations, and just a fun vibe. Great margaritas. Highly recommended!

Great food and impeccable service- onenof my favorite chicagoland gems

We went for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was a lovely afternoon. The servers were quick with anything we needed and were always friendly. They were also helpful - my husband asked for Turkish coffee and the server responded that black coffee was included but there would be an extra charge for Turkish. Totally reasonable and I appreciated not getting a surprise added charge later. The food was solid, especially the cold apps/salads, cig kofte, lentil soup, bread basket, and the two meats made from ground meat. It's tough to prepare food for such a large group, so not surprising that the chicken kebabs were drier than I'd like. I was sad not to see any lamachun available, as it was listed. But that's okay as that's also something that's better when it's piping hot. At no point did anyone indicate that they needed our table, which can be a concern both at buffets and on holidays. We were able to relax between courses and enjoy the holiday as a family. I'd happily return!
