Che Figata

WOW!! This was one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in a long time. All the food was absolutely delicious. The wine list was extensive, with all the great Italian producers. The level of service was great too. One of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to. I will definitely be back. 5 stars all the way!!

Fantastic Italian restaurant inside the hotel. One of the better and more classy hotel restaurants you’ll find. Great spacious bar with the food being prepared in front of you. The Bolognese is one of the better items you’ll have.

The atmosphere was dramatic with lower lighting, jazz music playing and a quiet atmosphere. The food was great but giving 4 stars because it took forever to get the food delivered. They also put their pop in small glasses which makes the cans have to stay on the table. All in all we had a great time and you should totally try it for yourself.

This restaurant is truly phenomenal. The food here is OUTSTANDING. The atmosphere and service match. My husband and I hosted our wedding welcome dinner here and our family and friends cannot stop talking about how wonderful the food was - no, really, they bring it up every time we see them haha. If I had to recommend two dishes it would be the lasagna and the olive oil cake but seriously you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

My grilled lamb rack was delicious. I ate some of my friend’s brick house chicken and it was tasty also. My, my, my the brownie was fabulous. Chef Alex and Chef Liam were professional and knowledgeable. Fernando the server was kind and attentive to our needs. Mickey the manager on duty tonight was so pleasant and approachable. My children really liked him. When we come back in town we will definitely be back! Thanks for a good time.

The food was amazing, to be true. I highly recommend the osso bucco. My issue was the 30 minutes to get our soup starter. Actually, the issue was more the waiter who took our soup order, then didn't stop at the table until the soup was nearly served. When I asked why soup was so long, he asked if I needed the manager to explain it to me. Then he took our dinner order. So, food is amazing, service will depend on if your server is in a mood, apparently.

Super high quality food, that doesn’t leave you bloated or tired. Great meat options. Awesome flavors. I got ossobucco and was delicious. Love this place.

The food is so fresh. We love this place. 2nd time celebrating a birthday. Food is very good. Comes from their very own garden nearby and local farms. I actually loved the arugula salad with truffle dressing. I bought dressing to take home. I ate to fast before I thought of taking a photo. The steak is very juicy. Cooked perfectly. Lasagna was delicate. Congratulations to the chef. And our server Raphael was the best. Request him.

Wonderful ambiance. First time visit and good and friendly service. Awesome freshly baked mushroom pizza. Nice food presentations and tasty italian sauces. Excellent Wine options. However, Vegetarian options are very limited so we had to settle for the sides and appetizers. Wish they have more vegetarian entrees for dinner - had to minus one star.

If I was a betting man, I would wager that this place is closed by Christmas. Let me explain. We dined at Che Figata on a Friday night with a 7pm reservations. When we arrived, there were two other tables seated which was odd for the day and time. We were seated in a corner table, waiting for the rest of our party to arrive. After 10 minutes of waiting for a server, I got up and asked if we can order a couple of drinks. I was told, "Yes, let me find your server." Now, this is funny, because we figured out later there was just one server for that night and he was not busy. A few minutes later, our server arrived and took our drink order. 10 minutes from then our drinks arrived. We are now 25 mins in and have drinks. Long story short, service was horrible all night. No attention by the staff, they never refilled waters, bussed plates while we were still eating from those plates. At the end of the night, we had coffee with desert and no ask if we wanted a refill on the coffee. One in our party had a birthday and we asked that they include a candle with the (terrible) olive oil cake so we may celebrate. Desert arrived no candle. After giving a WTF look, the server said sorry, ran back to the kitchen, grabbed the candle, back to the table, stuck it in the cake, and lit it. Moment ruined. Wrapping up. Food. Way over salted, from the fish to the pasta sides. Gross. Our app was over fried, burnt. Service. Terrible. Total bill with tip was over $600 and our party agreed that we would get better food and service at McDonalds. It's time to close the door since no one at Che Figata cares or understands the hospitality business.

I went to this restaurant for a special event. The catering service was excellent. We were able to view the chefs cook all of the food fresh. A five course meal with desserts was served and every bit of it was delicious. The steak was the best. The steak was tender and tasty. The desserts were extraordinary and would tempt a dieter to abandon their diet. The pesto pizza was amazing. The restaurant was spacious with wonderful decor.

We decided to check out this restaurant for dinner Friday night and it was truly a wonderful experience! Because the food here was truly an experience! I really enjoyed their juicy half of chicken served in a savory capers sauce with roasted potatoes, the chicken was one of best I've had at any restaurant in a long time! The sauce really complimented the chicken as well and took on another dimension when you squeeze the lemon the fresh lemon juice over it. The salad was so yummy and dessert made the end of dinner perfect! Our waitress was so attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu, her suggestions and service was on point too. The ambiance is very date night friendly and love their seating it was perfect for us having dinner sitting right next to each other. In all, we had a wonderful night and lovely experience here and we would definitely recommend you have dinner here.

Unfortunately restaurant was undergoing renovations and they directed me to the restaurant next door at the hotel (Hotel Arista) but they said the menu was exactly the same. Service was excellent from host to server. Portions are all big sizes (and entree prices) so I wasn't able to order much variety. Burrata and caponata - the cheese was so fresh. Loved it with the bread. It could have used a bit more seasoning in the caponata Che Meatballs - meatballs were tender and flavorful but would have preferred them more hot instead of lukewarm. Affogato - didn't enjoy as much as I wanted. I think the coffee wasn't as strong as I was expecting.

The service is trash here. Place was dead and there were 6 people doing a chef tasting at the bar. We got our drinks quick and nothing else. I watched our server chat in the doorway of the kitchen for 6 minutes (I timed it) and then he disappeared into the back for an additional 10 minutes. Food is meh. The bad service took over any good food because I was pissed. It took over 20min before our server returned to take our food order.

We had a very nice meal here on a Saturday night! The food was very good (not huge portions), drinks strong. The service was excellent. We were pleasantly surprised after reading some of the reviews. Would return.

This was our first time there. Very expensive food for very little portions. We were told the gluten-free pasta was like an angel hair pasta but instead we got penne that fell apart when you touched it. We also ordered a gluten free sausage and broccoli pizza. The crust was very thin and over cooked crunchy with no taste. The pizza was covered in tons of hot red pepper including the sausage was full of pepper. Though we like some spicy food, this was overkill and my lips and mouth are still burning long after eating. We also ordered the gluten-free carbonara And it was the smallest portion I have ever seen (smaller than aside dish of pasta) and it cost $23 for almost nothing (no meat).

A European flair strikes you the minute you walk in the restaurant and smell the fresh, homemade pasta and wood fired pizza being expertly crafted in an open air kitchen. Our party of 6 shared 2 orders of oven baked fontina cheese with the sweetest cherry tomatoes casually drifting across the top. They served the baked cheese with plenty of grilled bread so you had the perfect amount of both as a great starter. The salads are fresh and big enough for two, and my main course, the buffalo margherita pizza was the best margarita pizza I ever tasted. Although it was a thin crust, there was no lack of flavor with a delicious crunchy crust that was the perfect level of gooeyness in the middle. My only complaint is the service confusion. Our server put the appetizers in wrong and we had to re- order the 2nd cheese plate..There were also some check and drink confusions.

My husband chose this restaurant for his birthday celebration, and it was an excellent decision. This was our second visit and it definitely will not be the last. I love the eclectic menu - the lobster ravioli and branzino are our favorites so far, and we definitely want to try the pizza. While it's more of an upscale menu, the setting is warm and inviting and has outdoor seating on a quiet street. The employees are friendly and attentive. Easy parking and beats the congestion in downtown Naperville. Our new favorite restaurant!

I came To the very chick restaurant it is very nice modern a huge selection of Italian waters and drinks I gave this restaurant onky 3 stars because the food was not good at all my son got a hamburger and it look non appetizing he retuned and and he got a pizza instead I order the the Genovese it was ok I can cook and and make it tast better I actually wanted to know who was cooking because I truly can cooks better tasting Italian food The ambiance is very relaxing and you can come here and celebrate any event The tiramisu that everyone was bragging about was not the best for me I have had better at a coffee shop I did have a wonderful time here but not the best food

Appetizer was very very small. Portions were very small. Service was AWFUL!! They forgot wr checked in- we waiting for a text for our table was ready. Walked back in after 30 minutes as they said- he had no idea who we were. Server never introduced himself or told us about the menu or restaurant. He didn't know of any martinis. Our drinks took 30 minutes- the place was very empty. Food was not the best at all. One person didn't eat hers. We were never asked if everything was OK. Took 30 minutes for our server to come over AFTER we were done. No one else was in the restaurant. Took us 2 hours for an appetizer, 4 meals (1 Took a LOT longer to come out- making everyone else wait). We told our server we have been done for 20-30 minutes and he said nothing. Do not recommend at all.

Beautiful interior, wine list is top notch, and the pasta is delicious...get the lasagna it's my favorite. Service has always been on point and very upscale and professional. I've been here 3 times in the last year and it's never failed to impress. It's also attached to a boutique hotel so that's fun for a little getaway.

Place has really seemed to decline since it first opened a few years ago. Menu has changed over a lot and quality just doesn't seem to be there from original. Pasta dishes have seemed to trend toward overly salty in last couple years as well. We dined here 5-6 times and haven't gone back in months after last time that had some pretty poor/inattentive service that left us waiting to place order for drinks and appetizers for 20 mins. Has potential and (at least as written) good menu and interior is nice. Adjacent hotel is also very nice. Just doesn't seem to be living up to its potential.

The food was ok. We had an issue with the the Fettuccine with clams- it was lacking flavor, very bland. However our server was excellent. He gave us choices to replace the dish and refunded it. The bolognese was very good, and the eggplant was great too. A little overpriced for the serving size. Very nice restaurant, nice ambiance, and friendly staff.

Very under whelming vegetarian options. I was brought here for an interview dinner. Great ambience, which is why I gave this place 2 stars and not 1. Mediocre attentiveness by serving staff. Foods needs help.

I enjoyed my meal at Che Figata. Okay- it was a bit of a journey to find. There's a few steet parking spots right in front but my GPS brought me to the garage which isn't far at all. Che Figata is a restaurant attached to a hotel. Upon walking in you're met with such classy and elegant decor. The way the natural lighting fills the space is truly just stunning. I ordered the Orecchiette & Broccoli Pesto Pasta ($21). I also added chicken to it. It was DELICIOUS. The most amazing pesto pasta I had ever tried. All of the gourmet ingredients really elevated the dish: Broccoli & hazelnut pesto, ramps, ricotta whey, pickled shallots, Cacio de Basco al Tartufo. My friend ordered the same thing and also had the grilled octopus as an appetizer and enjoyed it. For dessert we ordered the Che Sunday ($12) which was Vanilla & chocolate gelato (I subbed for salted caramel which was AMAZING) caramel marshmellows, whipped cream, rosemary caramel candy, amaretto cookies, sprinkles. Other than the salted caramel gelato, it was pretty meh. From the description, I imagined something else for some reason. The homemade marshmellows didn't really taste super special. It was a basic marshmellow. The caramel candy was truly a whole hard caramel plopped on top. The amaretto cookies were great though. Overall we paid for an overly expensive sundae. Service was great. Our waitress was kind and the rest of the staff was just as attentive. When I got my check I was taken aback though- adding the chicken put an additional $6 onto my bill. That put my single bowl of pasta at $27. I definitely have no problem spending my money on good food but I did not expect to pay that much for the portion. While it was absolutely delicious, I don't know that it was worth almost $30 for the single dish. Now the pasta is crafted by hand so I gotta give them that. I know those gourmet ingredients aren't cheap either. But considering that it's a restaurant in the suburbs attached to a hotel, it did take me by surprise. I would expect that price at a restaurant in the city. Regardless, the chefs at Che Figata are masters at their craft and you can taste that in their dishes. I would come back but only once in a while and I would mainly recommend the restaurant for special occassions.

We discovered them because they participated in a non-profit event dinner, 'Taste of Hope' to support DuPage PADS. We loved their sample dish so much we wanted to give them a try, glad we did! Deducting a star because the pizza was undercooked in the middle making the end flop & it became really messy. Carbonara was fantastic but a hint too much salt. Our server Ozzy was wonderful and attentive. The ambiance was good, dark and comfortable. The seating was overflowing into the cocktail bar but they mentioned the restaurant was under renovations. Great Lavazza espresso to cap the night! Would recommend pastas & apps.

My third rating for Che and, sadly, not my best. Like a hot chick that dies her hair purple, Che Figata is still wonderful, just not as much. Ambiance is still perfect. Service is excellent--well-timed attention and excellent advice on the fairly simple menu. The challenge on this night was the food. The meat and cheese board for $27 is a good value. The Octopus, not so much. I think we round one or 2 tiny tentacles in the big dish, and they seemed to be grilled. If Octopus is expensive and hard to find, charge more or take it off the menu. The steak was overcooked. Not really a big issue, unless you pay $51 for a steak, and I did. The tiramasu had chocolate chips on top. Again, not a big deal, but why not make it the simple, classic Italian way. It's Che Figata after all, the the chef did come over to ask about our meal and we explained all of the above. He was cool and gracious about the feedback. I imagine the next meal will be back to 5 stars.

This was my first time to Che Figata. My son just received a promotion at work and I wanted to take him somewhere nice!! We were both blown away with the entire staff, food and ambiance!! We ordered grilled octopus and apple salad for appetizers The octopus was perfectly seasoned and the presentation was awesome with a celery root purée and baby potatoes on a wooden slate. Wowsie!! I also loved the apple salad. I'm totally making it for my Thanksgiving meal this year!! It was so fresh and the thinly sliced tart apples was the perfect crunchy touch!! For entree, I had the lasagna and my son had the spinach pasta. Both homemade pastas melted in our mouths!! It takes so much time to make homemade pasta and I so much appreciated the kitchen doing all the heavy lifting. Lol!! Angel was our server and he was just adorable!! He was professional, friendly and gave us great menu suggestions!! For dessert Angel treated us to a tiramisu for my son's promotion! How sweet!! OMG! Best tiramisu I've had and I'm a baker so I know good desserts!! Also, the head chef stopped by and chatted with us. The manager also stopped by to say hi. All the personal touch made our evening EXTRA special!! We left like VIP's!! Thank you to the entire staff at Che Figata for helping this suburban mom give her "New Yorker" son a TOTAL 5 star downtown experience in our little town of Naperville. We had the best time and we will definitely be back soon!!

We've been regulars here since 2020. I tried to plan my 50th birthday in the Tuscany room. They have private dining options and private dining menu on their website. They refuse to let us utilize the private dining menu for the evening even tho it's on their website. False advertising and very deceptive bait and switch practice. We will take our party somewhere else.

Amazing amazing food, really enjoyed the appetizers and loved seeing the open kitchen from our table

Went here for lunch with a friend. We were the only ones in the restaurant and ate on the patio. We ordered several dishes, one being the Che Meatballs made of beef and pork. When the meatballs arrived at the table we cut them open and they were complete raw in the middle. We sent them back and asked for them to be cooked through. The server came back and told us the chef said this is how they are suppose to be cooked. We again asked for them to be cooked through. The second batch came back and.. they were again raw in the middle. I have ordered this item on the menu before and they were never raw. Chef having a bad day?

Super honest review here. I was surprisingly disappointed. Here's why: If I was rating the service it'd be 5 stars. Juan was our server and what a nice gentleman he was! He took the time to explain the menu in great detail and shared his favorite dishes, checked on us often, and could see the passion he shared in the food he was serving. Now to the food. A 3 star review is pretty harsh, however I think this is merely just constructive feedback, because after all, you go to a restaurant to eat the food, not just review on the service alone. I ordered the vongole e tagliatelle and felt that although their vision of simple ingredients in all dishes is expressed in their menu, I felt as if it was too infused with tomato and what's worse was the pasta was way over cooked. You could tell the pasta was homemade and fresh which is awesome, however, you killed it with over cooked pasta! Wasn't served al dente the way it should be. Now my boyfriend's dish was the salumi pizza. In our opinion, the option for gluten free pizza should be removed from the menu. His crust was undercooked and tasteless. Granted, the pizza options all sounded delicious and regular wood oven is probably way different and better, I wouldn't recommend the gluten free option. If you're going to serve gluten free option, please consider cooking properly. I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and was looking forward to it, however, my recent experience here was a hard match to my recent trip to Italy 2 weeks ago, for obvious reasons, but their menu motto of delivering Italy to the table was enticing to try. Debating on giving it another shot and coming back. If so, I'm hoping the food experience is better next time.

Excellent food. Fresh made pastas are delicious. Sue is the best server too! Friendly and great at helping pair wine with your dish.

We gave Che Figata two more tries this past month. First time the Bolognese and Lasagna were to die for--so good, perfectly seasoned. Then we came back two weeks later, ordered the same dishes, and Bolognese tasted very salty, and the Lasagna was under-seasoned and very plain. Who messes up lasagna? This food is so unpredictable here! I will say when I returned the Bolognese, it came back the second time perfectly flavoured. In the meantime, they asked me if I wanted another glass of wine, and I had a 10 min wait ahead of me, so I did order one, thinking it may be on the house but no such luck. I think what we like the best about this restaurant is it's not very busy. However, right now, they're remodelling the dining room, so everything is happening in the bar area. Thus, that positive is gone for a while. We dined on a Friday night, and it was pretty busy in the bar/now also dining area. The service is excellent. It's the food that's all over the place.

It was our 10 year anniversary and we had our reception at Hotel Arista, so my husband and I thought it would be fun to visit the hotel for a drink and eat at the accompanying Che Figata. We were both excited but overall food was meh across the board. Our appetizer was burrata with toast and some of the toast was burnt black. Not charred, because I appreciate a good char, but literally just burnt and impossible to bite through. We also ordered the mortadella pizza, which came out with prosciutto instead of mortadella, so we inquired about it. The waiter seemed confused so left to clarify with the kitchen and came back and said they didn't have "a lot of mortadella so they put some on the pizza but replaced the rest with prosciutto." Here's the thing. There was literally zero mortadella on there, so either he or the kitchen lied, but also- I wouldn't have ordered the pizza if it came with prosciutto because I am not a fan and neither is my husband. We aren't the type to complain for fear of our food getting spit on (lol) so I didn't say anything but to be honest after the waiter found out from the kitchen that the mortadella was replaced with prosciutto, I felt he should have definitely made the move to remove the item from our bill. Lastly were our entrees- I ordered fettuccini with clams which had an overly sweet flavor that did not match what I expected a clam pasta dish to taste like, so was disappointed and barely ate the pasta. My husband who ordered a spicy pork pasta enjoyed his. Overall we would not be back, though the restaurant has a great vibe.

If your looking for authentic Italian this is the spot!Located right next to hotel Arista. There is a free parking garage right next to the restaurant as well and a separate bar lounge too. This place is modern , clean, and staff does a great job helping by with menu options and ideas to choose from since the entire menu is in Italian. Everything we had was excellent from start to finish. We had: bone marrow charcuterie board with black truffle and other sides like some jam, pan seared scallops with polenta, short rib ravioli, with some whisky. The complimentary bread and butter with some yummy oil was great. You can tell when stuff is made from scratch with extra love and attention is put into it. Loved it! On list of go to's for local Italian.

While looking for cool new restaurants in the Naperville area, I came across Che Figata's menu and it gave me a flashback to our trip to Rome with classic Roman pastas like cacio e pepe and Roman style pizza. Ambiance: You would have never guessed this was a hotel restaurant just from the pictures online. I had no clue this was the new restaurant they were building inside Hotel Arista until we got there. It had that restaurant and fresh market combination going on, kind of like Beatrix in the city. Overall, Che was another one of those suburban restaurants that had a city vibe. I liked how the layout just a generic grid of tables, but rather a mix of tables, booths, counter seats overlooking the open kitchen, and then even a communal counter in the center of the dining area. Food: Honestly, the pictures of the free bread and pizzas were enough to draw me in haha. We went for an early lunch, so we didn't wanna go too hard and kill the rest of the day in a food coma. House bread - From the pictures, I was really looking forward to the free bread. It looked like a plate of pepper, olive oil, parmesan cheese, and what I thought was a tomato or vodka sauce element. I dove right in and mixed everything together, but was blind-sided by the super tangy, vinegar-y flavor. They went a little heavy on the balsamic, and it overpowered the sauce a little bit. It was alright, just not the savory dipping sauce I was expecting. Il Misto della Domenica - This was basically an open-faced steak and cheese sandwich, but it was effing good. The meat was ultra tender, and the au jus was soaked into each piece of the bread. Then it was topped with a layer of cheese that was just oozing down the edges. I easily could've eaten 3 of them. Lardo e salame Pizza - Che Figata straight up knows how to make a pizza. You could see the guys in the open kitchen popping them into the brick oven, and this crust did not disappoint. It was pretty much perfect: thick and crispy on the outside, soft and warm in the middle, decorated with light and airy bubbles, and had a slight char to it. The cheese, sauce, and salami were all on point as well. I thought portions could've been bigger, but you can't argue with the quality of the dish. Lasagna di 16 piani - We were on the fence between the lasagna and the cacio e pepe, and the lasagna ultimately won out because it looked so hearty and saucy. No regrets here. This was just straight up delicious. I don't even wanna know how much parmesan, ricotta, and mozzarella were in here because it was damn cheesy and I absolutely loved it. My fiance and I were splitting everything, and it took all my control to not keep going at it and down the whole thing myself. Tiramisu - This was an interesting take on tiramisu. Instead of one piece of tiramisu, it came with 6 little bite-sized cubes. Taste-wise it was almost identical to regular tiramisu, with the addition of hardened chocolate bottom that kept everything together. Although it was probably less food than a normal portion, I was actually sort've glad it was just a small little sweet bite at the end instead of another heavy course. Overall, Che Figata is another solid spot in the burbs. It's a little pricey for the portion size, but the quality of the ingredients and food are evident.

Ordered food 3rd time , and this time my order is disaster Quality of food is so poor and undercooked Pizza toppings are missing . Disaster. Called a manager after and even didn't received a money back for pizza

Doctor Jekel and Mr. Hyde thing going on here. I've dined in twice and got take out twice. Dine in, 5 stars both times. Had a middle aged woman both times. She is a true professional server that are hard to come by these days. Been in F&B management my whole life and people like her stand out. The chef is doing big things and the place is BEAUTIFUL!! Take out...meh. I'll just say, their food doesn't travel so well. It just has been a bit a let down both times. My advice. Put on a nice shirt, slap on a little High Karate and make the trip over there to dine in...you won't regret it. If not...you've been warned :) Peace!

Food was salty disappointment with my meal. However service and wine was good. Place is small so make reservations for sure.

Che Figata is not your typical hotel restaurant. Normally I turn my nose up at hotel restaurants, but I'm so glad I took the plunge and tried this one. I have had the pleasure of dining here for both lunch and dinner. They have some good lunch specials in the twenty dollar range which is a good deal for this type of restaurant. I've had both the chicken salad and the meatball sandwich and both are highly recommended. For dinner I had the Carne Bovina al Barolo (tenderloin for two). It came nice and bloody (rare) which is the way I like it. If you have a large appetite I recommend splurging and getting it all for yourself. It is about 20oz of meat so if you get salad and appetizers you could stretch it for two people. A pantry area is also featured where they sell olive oil, vinegar, pasta, spreads, and sandwiches to go.

I've been to Che Figata many times before, but not under the new ownership and chef. I was disappointed with my experience this time. Our young waitress kept on saying that she was Italian, but yet when we asked questions she was unsure of things. I finally told her I was 100% Italian and that ended that. I really wanted the grilled octopus appetizer, and she told me that she wouldn't recommend it because it was rubbery. I'm glad I didn't listen to her because it was the best thing I ate that evening. I thought the octopus was grilled perfectly and was tender. The bread served was good and came with a red pepper and olive oil dipping sauce. The wine list is decent as well. My husband and I shared the prosciutto & fig pizza. It was flavorful, but the crust was not the Neapolitan type that is thin and crusty with air pockets. I was expecting a more traditional type pizza that I enjoy in Italy when I saw the pizza oven in the kitchen. I ordered the burrata and beet salad, too, but was very disappointed when it was just round pieces of beets with orange segments and four generous portions of burrata, no greens. I wanted more salad and this was definitely a starter dish to share. I was thinking I would get more of a salad-type dish since it was under the "insalata" section. It come with a quality pieces of grilled bread and I did enjoy the orange and beet combination. I ended up taking three burrata rounds home as one person could not eat four huge balls of cheese. Well, at least this person couldn't. This would definitely be one to share among the table. My husband had the Ragu dells Domenica, rigatoni with meatballs & sausage dish. It lacked flavor although it did look appetizing. I also missed the crema di limoncello that Sonny use to make at the bar. It was another disappointment for me. I really looked forward to having that after dinner, but it wasn't offered anymore. Overall, I won't be back to this restaurant because it didn't hold up to all my other visits. Sad.

Excellent dinner with my wife and daughter. Everything was very fresh. Each of the appetizers and entrees were original and very tasty. The staff were great. Our waiter was great. We had a great evening and will definitely return!

Food was expensive and bland. Not worth the money at all. Try it for yourself but I personally would not recommend this place to a friend.

TLDR: Good food and attentive staff but freezing cold room I got the Veal Shank and Risotto. I don't know about the wine selection since I had to drive. I got a lemonade. It came in a huge mason jar which I wasn't expecting but fits better with the theme once I thought about it. The food was delicious. The veal could have had a little extra something, but it was still good. I went with others and their food was also good. Their food like the lamb and short rib pasta had that extra little something and it was divine. So those are two dishes I would definitely recommend. We also got an array of desserts. I usually don't like peanuts but it was candied in such a way and complemented the caramel and the custard. It's didn't seem like something I would like based on a quick read, but after a closer look and a couple questions, I'm glad I had it. Our waitress was really good at figuring out the different tastes of my party and was able to recommend desserts based on what she witnessed. I love that at a restaurant. Its annoying when staff can't even pretend to recommend something, which I have had happen at other restaurants in the area. We sat near the window because it was cold inside but the sun was shining heavily on one side. We thought that section would be warmer. It was even colder but we had already set down and it didn't seem any better throughout the restaurant. I would definitely tell someone to bring a jacket.

Food and service were outstanding. We had the grilled octopus, melts in your mouth. Short rib ravioli, branzino, endive/arugula salad, and cheesecake. Everything was fantastic. You see the chef taste each dish before it's out. Juan was our server and he was great as well. Can't wait to go back

The food was absolutely spectacular! My food was made so well and seasoned just how I like it. I usually can't finish a pasta dish alone, but I did here. It was decadent, well-paired, perfectly seasoned, and heavenly. The carbonara had the perfect combination of ingredients: the pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce had just the right combinations, the egg added a luscious texture, the pancetta was so crispy, and the peas added a gorgeous brightness. I cannot speak more highly of this place; my family, who tends to be picky about Italian food, was already planning our next visit. We all drove at least 20 minutes, and it was well worth it. Cocktails and wine were also good!

My fiancé and I made a reservation a few nights ago. We really needed a nice night out together. When we walked in, the atmosphere was immediately warm and inviting. The warm lighting and candles on the tables definitely set the mood for the night. We ordered the octopus and the Italian Wedding Soup to start and it was fantastic. For our main course, we ordered the Potato Gnocchi and the 16 Layer Lasagna and to finish I ordered the Gelato and he ordered the Affogato. There wasn't a bite I didn't love. Definitely recommend to get the Gelato and Affagato to dip the different flavors of gelato into the espresso. So delicious! The staff were all very nice and courteous as well. The waiter was very attentive and helpful, even though we took forever to make a decision and order. Definitely going to come back soon!

We used open table to book a dinner reservation on Sunday, 2/26/23, to celebrate my birthday. Our reservation was for 5:30. We were called at 4:20 p.m. that day to let us know the restaurant is actually closed on Sunday. Only an abbreviated bar menu was available. We scrambled the last minute to secure a reservation at another local Italian restaurant. The worst part of this story, when I called the restaurant manager on Tuesday, he told me I should have checked their website before using Open Table. I would have seen that they were closed on Sunday. I questioned why Open Table booked us on a Sunday. No apology, no give us another chance, no stop in for a drink on us...just the manager saying that he is "working with Open Table" to fix this issue. REALLY NICE BIRTHDAY EXPERIENCE!!!! I will never go there. Unacceptable response to this situation.

Underwhelming. Very slow service heard a lot of kitchen noise and sadly veal pasta was tough and lacked flavor, beautifully presented however. carbonara was also not very good and we asked for bread that finally came at the end of the meal and it was dry and it live oil was bitter. Don't think we'll go back

My mom and i sat at the bar tonight and had a glass of wine. Emily, our bartender and was so incredibly nice and helped me pick out which glass I would like (not much of an alcohol person) She was so incredibly helpful to everyone at the bar! Can't wait to come back and have her expertise again

I went in for a simple lunch and walked away from an experience, maybe even a religious experience. The best seat in the house is the round open bar table, but it's not for liquor,although you can order it there. It's to take in the open kitchen experience. You can watch as master chef's make fresh pasta from scratch, preparing charcuterie boards, open flames from the grill and brick oven pizza maker. Chef's who love what they do and it shows in the quality of the food. Did you ask for basil on your pasta, give the chef a minute and they will cut it for you from their live garden. Now that's fresh! In here, your lunch is their passion and well worth it. Just freaking amazing!

Delicious, fresh and creative food at a fair price. It was very quiet when we visited but the vibe was cool and relaxing. We enjoyed the friendly service and good advice from the staff. The food was really gorgeous. Generous portions and packed with flavor. This place is ideal for dates or celebrations as they have good music but at a low volume allowing conversations over drinks. Well recommended and will definitely come back, and that's for sure.

I was supposed to be meeting up with a friend at the coffee shop next door but it was closed that day for some reason. So glad we got to try this place out! We weren't hungry but we ended up ordering a few appetizers. All of which were wonderful! The flavor of each was unique and delicious. I can't describe it only that we will both be back sometime to try more here. I forgot to take a picture of the snap peas but those were super tasty!

Was at this restaurant and ordered some appetizers. Bruschetta was one piece of bread which was over toasted about 4 1/2 inches across and not cut for sharing Although this was on the menu as an appetizer for sharing. The grilled octopus contained about a quarter of a cup of the meat but then they threw in a couple pieces of potato some side tomato sauce and some beans for the price of $20. For my meal I ordered orchietta with broccoli. So I am brought a lukewarm dish and the server explains they have no broccoli would I like a different side vegetable. That question should've been asked before I was served a meal and seriously in the town of Naperville you can't find a grocery store that sells broccoli?? Over priced very small servings will never go back

Staying at the hotel next door, I stopped at Che Figata for dinner numerous nights. The atmosphere is fresh and authentic, with an open kitchen area behind the bar. There were fresh herbs growing along the wall and fresh cheese and pasta were being cut right behind the bar. The complimentary bread and oil they serve was delicious and a great start to the meal. I loved the Italian wedding soup, which was the perfect amount of food with a salad. I also had the pizza one night which was served piping hot, right from the wood-fire oven. I thought the pizza was a bit pricey for the size but tasty nonetheless. My last night I went with a pasta dish, as they make their pasta onsite. The 16-layer lasagna was delicious and unique, as I ordered it with a white bolognese sauce. The service was great each time I was there, and the food was consistently scrumptious.

Beautiful restaurant that feels feisty and intimate at the same time. Our server recommended the Bolognese and tortellini. And the most fabulous wine! He was great and so was everything
