It was my first time at Nonna Silvias, and was very impressed. We started out with the Burrata Pugliese, which was delicious. For my entree I had the Gnocchi alla Vodka and it was outstanding. The best vodka sauce I have ever had. My friend really enjoyed the Sacchettini Porcini. The service was outstanding. Will definitely return.

Carmine’s is always my go to spot when I land at O’Hare. If I’m not sitting at the bar talking to Bobby, one of the hardest working bartenders I’ve met, I have business dinners with customers. They’re always requesting that I take them back for dinner whenever I’m in town. Phil greets everyone with his great smile and makes everyone feel at home. Kevin, the valet, hustles in any kind of weather. Everyone on staff are incredible. Just note - their portions are big and will be leaving with a take-out carton. Can’t wait to be back soon.
