Best Italian Restaurants in Oswego

The food was great! They need to work a bit on their timing. The salads came and we barely started when the entrees were given as well. The appetizer came at the same time as our meal. However the dishes we tried were delicious and we will be coming back

Good food. Friendly people. Lively atmosphere. A little loud, but not too loud.

I have been here several times with my family and it has become one of our favorite restaurants! The food is always superb every time we come! Pasta is cooked al dente and the sauces have the best flavor. We also love the Tiramisu. The atmosphere is also really cozy and inviting! Service is also always very good. We usually have the same waitress and she’s very friendly every time. Highly recommend!

Our entire dining experience at Maggiano’s Little Italy in Naperville, on Saturday evening (1/11/25), was outstanding from start to finish. We had a reservation for 6:30pm, and we were seated within several minutes of checking in. The manager that greeted me at the host stand was friendly, professional, and welcoming. We had a preference for a booth noted in the Open Table app, and the gentleman acknowledged and honored our request for booth seating. Great ambiance, classy decor and design inside. Our server, Luis, was exceptional. He was friendly, funny, and helpful at answering a few questions about the menu, and was on point with his timing and service throughout our meal. Everything was very well-paced, not rushed, for a relaxing meal. Luis was perfectly observant and prompt with drink refills and clearing dishes out of the way during the meal. We had the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer, which were delicious. Luis also brought us a basket of fresh, crusty bread with olive oil and Parmesan cheese to start. Each of our entrees were excellent. I ordered the chicken francese, served with crispy vesuvio potatoes and asparagus. It was very flavorful. I believe it was in a lemon butter sauce, which was delicious. My wife had the rigatoni alla vodka with crumbled Italian sausage. She enjoyed it very much. The pasta was cooked to a perfect al dente, and the sauce was very flavorful. My daughter ordered the rigatoni D with chicken and sautéed button mushrooms. She raved about how good it tasted. The sauce is very creamy and delicious. We wanted to save room for dessert, so we saved about half of our generously portioned meals to be boxed up. We took home enough leftovers to enjoy for dinner at home the next day. For dessert, we shared a huge slice of chocolate layered cake and the creme brulee. The chocolate cake was awesome. Rich, moist, and sweet but not too rich. The creamy, creme brulee had a nicely carmelized crust. Very enjoyable experience!

This is a very nice trendy, high quality change from typical red sauce italian. Creative dishes, limited wine list, very good service until they got very busy. They are willing to change or”customize “ any dish to suit the customer. For me, I had a linguine dish that was to have shrimp and scallops. Not bad. But because I like mussels they swapped out the shrimp and scallops for the mussels. Nice place. We’ll go back.
