    Food very good as always. Service was good, though a little slow. We arrived at 4:30 and wanted to order from the Supper Club menu, but told it was a holiday (Mother’s Day) and therefore not offered. We couldn’t find any mention of that on the website. That would’ve been good to know.

    Thanks for the feedback, Lori! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food at Saranello's. We apologize for the delay in our service and the lack of information about our holiday menus during your visit. We'll definitely consider this for our future updates. We look forward to serving you again soon!

    Very nice but due to the holiday it was a little chaotic and kept running out of food. The servers were very nice, attentive and accommodating. Will definitely come back when it’s not too crazy.

    Saranello’s is one of our favorite restaurants to bring our family to or just enjoy a night out. We arrived a little early with our OpenTable reservation. The host stand was very accommodating and sat us immediately. We ordered the special Amish Chicken dish and the Atlantic Salmon. Both of our entrees were absolutely delicious. Our server Mike B was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable about the menu. Manager Ari stopped by to say hello and check on our satisfaction. Before we left we placed a Pizza take out order for the grandkids. They both absolutely loved the pizza. We also had a slice and recommend the pizza to anyone that loves a good Chicago style pizza.

    Wonderful experience! We brought our party of six to Saranello’s for dinner on a Saturday evening. We were seated immediately with our OpenTable reservations. The hostess Liz was very pleasant and accommodating. Everyone including 2 children absolutely loved the food. We ordered the Arancini special and they were amazingly delicious. Our server Mike B is the best in the business. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. One of the managers Ari stopped by our table to say hello and check on our satisfaction. All six of us highly recommend Saranello’s
