Ottimo

Nice traditional Italian restaurant. Not very roomy inside so you’re seated quite close to nearby tables. We went for the first time, the Saturday night before Mothers Day so it was quite busy and it took the waiter about 15 mins after we were seated to greet us. Service was good after that. There is an outdoor seating area if you prefer. Three of the specials we tried to order were out already and they had only been open a couple of hours. I enjoyed the food we did order very much. Portions are generous. Complimentary Bread, garlic butter, oil & cheese is offered at the table as it should be at an Italian restaurant. I look forward to going back!

I've dined here many times and have never had a bad meal. They have a bar and high tops near the bar and a dining room and an outside patio for dining when it's nice out. I usually try and grab a seat at the bar and then end up staying there to eat as well. The free bread and oil is good; and the salads, pizza, linguine and clams are some of my fave items to order. They have a standard menu and also offer a specials menu. Last time I went they had a grouper entree on special and I tried it as I love grouper. It was seasoned and broiled nicely. It can get crowded by the bar and you may have to wait awhile to get a drink but the staff is always pleasant and make good cocktails. This is one of my fave Italian restaurants in Orland.

Thursday is Absolut Martinis. Frenchies are delicious. Fabulous food, great service, never felt rushed. All the dishes were a hit. We enjoyed the Asparagus salad to start. Our entrees were Gnocchi, Linguini and Clams, Chicken Parm, and Risotto. I forgot to snap pics of desserts, but the Cheesecake, Creme Brule, and a sundae style carmel gelato with biscotti were delicious as was well.

My family took my Gramma for her birthday last Sunday. Reservations we're easy to make through open table and we were sat right away. On a Sundays kids get to eat free which includes the scoop of ice cream at the end so my 8 and 9-year-old were happy as can be. I am gluten free and dairy-free and had a delicious shrimp and gluten-free pasta is a homemade cherry tomato sauce that was wonderful and my husband had a delicious looking risotto with artichokes. Grandma enjoyed the chicken piccata and putting stuff raving about. The waiter is very attentive and friendly overall we had a really pleasant experience.

The food was good not great...when you tell me you're using fillet mignon...it should be cooked rare/med rare in strips....not chopped and well done! Service was ok our waiter was tending bar and waiting tables. There was a lady pretty much standing and not helping. Also she wore patchouli (I'm very allergic). Should not wear a perfume that strong when working with people. Moderately priced, Nice decor, bar atmosphere.

Very good food. Nice dim, quiet atmosphere. Great place to have good food and chat with someone. I liked the food, and the wait staff was very attentive. Seems like it would be a good date spot. I came alone to treat myself, but had to repeat more than once that I was alone. Seemed outlandish for the place, perhaps that does not happen a lot there. Would definitely recommend. There is also quite a few other good options right nearby so if you head here for one particular option and they are too full, there are several others that are very good choices in the same general area.

Underrated! The vibe on the outside seating is sexy! Very calming and classy. Mostly adults here. The waiter that served was very respectful and recommended some very good dishes. The food is so fresh my wife and I absolutely loved everything. From the zucchini to the shelled pasta. I highly recommend. This is one of the only places in orland that you get that classy city feel.

We celebrated an important birthday with 17 people. Patrick the manager was so very kind and Fernando took care of every need. We could not be happier with the entire experience. Outstanding food with even better service.

Everything is perfect at this restaurant. The food, the service, the ambiance, it's all 5 star. It's the BEST!

Always a great meal. Service is great. Tight seating but the atmosphere is good enough you don't really notice. Try the Pork Chop, Colette Di Mailiale, exceptional presentation, one of the best chops in the Chicago area.

Absolutely delicious food, great service. Fun for a date or party. I've been for showers and Christmas parties.

Delicious Italian cuisine. The ambiance is very relaxed and the guests move in and out quickly. The pasta dishes taste homemade and every entree we've ever had has always been delicious. I recommend the eggplant and calamari.

Last night, my husband, son and I came for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. This morning we both said to each other that was the best meal we've had in a really long time! From the drinks, French Martini and Vodka Martini straight up with blue cheese olives, to the appetizers, Giant Meatball and grilled calamari, our meal, the dessert, volcano cake the best! and cappuccino, as well as the staff, it was a five star experience for us! We've been there a few times and we always seem to order scallop meal which never disappoints and is always amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant!

Came to Ottimo on the recommendation of a friend. He said to get the scallops. He wasn't wrong. They were cooked to perfection. My husband and I both got the scallops. Creme brûlée for dessert you can't go wrong. Restaurant was crowded on a Wednesday night which is a testament to how good the food is. The service is top notch. We didn't have to wait for anything. Come dressed or casual.

Food and service was great!!! Can't wait to go back again! Steak was cooked just right!

Another amazing dinner at Ottimos. Went to celebrate a birthday. Fantastic service and fantastic food. Always an exceptional experience. Our go to for a celebration or a casual dinner. Can't be beat.

Amazing Italian food! They are accommodating with special requests and substitutions. The place is clean and perfect for date nights.

Excellent food and service! Only drawback is limited space. On a busy night,they seat you at very small tables, food barely fits on table, and your sitting very close to next table. Very uncomfortable!

Monday evening birthday dinner. The food was decent and the service was excellent. One thing to note is that the menu on their website is much larger than the menu at the restaurant for some reason. Also, the place is called Osteria but there are no oysters listed on either menu. The place was packed and the tables are a little tight but overall a good dining experience. My smoked old fashioned and the grilled calamari appetizer were the highlight of the night for me.

First time there, had the meatball, sausage &peppers, and calamari appetizer and was all very good. Husband and I both ordered the eggplant and it was phenomenal. Service was great, very attentive, and personable. It's a very quaint atmosphere, the desserts are out of this world. Highly recommend if you're looking for some authentic Italian food.

The garlic butter and bread is great! I had the ravioli and pasta with meat sauce. Very delicious. Highly recommend.

Best in townalways changing up the specials menu, great seafood,pastas pizzas! Have been going here since it opened, Can't say enough good things about it

Had a group luncheon there today for 50 people and the service and food were outstanding. Amazing and highly recommend.

My family and I dine here often. The service is always fast and professional. The food is fresh and seasoned well. I love the espresso martinis. I usually order white fish or salmon. My children order either pizza or chicken Alfredo. I would recommend this place if you want good service and fresh food.

Ambiance: Very nice Service: Very nice servers. But need training Food: There are many Italian restaurants close to where we live here in Las Vegas. My wife and I travel 19 miles to visit this restaurant. If you like Chicken Parmigiana, you will not find a Restaurant in Las Vegas with better Chicken Parmigiana. They serve Jidori chicken that is more than half inch thick and when properly cooked you can cut it with your fork. If you are not familiar with Jidori chicken, it's expensive to purchase and it's eaten raw in Japan.

Have been here a few times and have always had a great meal. This last time, we started with a salad that had apple, cranberry, cheese, and pine nuts which was fresh and tasty. I had the swordfish special which was delicious and a very generous portion. It had a nice butter sauce and a panzanella salad. The service was great and the atmosphere is cozy. I will definitely be back to try more!

food is great， seafood is worthy. the Stuff recommends is wonderful. Just am little pricey, but good for a meal for a week for me. I love the spicy tomato and the noodle. Also tried the ice cream. Coffee testy. Next time would try the Tiramisu cake there. And the working hours is short hhhhhhhh. I want launch time there too!

Service was fair. Not much to eat on the lunch menu for a carnivore. Had the antipasto platter. Didn't care for the cheese and the not much of a meat selection for the price.

Great place! We went there for dinner. I had the Ravioli Rosa and a side salad. The ravioli was very tasty and the salad was fresh and crispy.

Used to be a favorite spot but every time we come less and less of our favorites (e.g. Burrata, desert calzone etc). The ravioli, Bologna's and frutti Del Mar is still good.

Underrated! The vibe on the outside seating is sexy! Very calming and classy. Mostly adults here. The waiter that served was very respectful and recommended some very good dishes. The food is so fresh my wife and I absolutely loved everything. From the zucchini to the shelled pasta. I highly recommend.

The food never disappoints, the service is attentive and always friendly. We have been coming for many years and always enjoy it. It's our first choice for special occasions or when friends/family come to town.

I was here a few days ago. Staff had no clue if they offered flavored iced tea as someone in my group asked. In my napkin/silverwear roll I had a dirty fork. Gross! Ceasar salad was uneventful. Chicken piccata was only ok. Bread was only ok. I haven't been here since pre-pandemic, but I would skip this place for sure.

It's always a great time, and dood is superb! The 1/2 price and spaghetti night is the best time to go. Get there early!!

Huge portions. Great food. Experienced and kind server. (Even though he was very busy). I live so close yet it felt like a hidden gem.

Had a BEAUTIFUL bridal shower! Service and food were excellent!!! The only reason for the 4 not 5 was their side room was incredibly hot- 75 degrees. They brought out fans but they didn't help much. The pastries actually melted. Chicken piccata, potatoes, broccoli penne Alfredo, bread, bruschetta, Caesar salad- allll delicious! Bellinis and mimosas were good too!

The food the drinks & service here is amazing! From the most delectable grilled calamari with sauce that you like , perfect scallop, really all their food are delicious . Higly recommended for family and friends

Our favorite Italian spot on the area! Authentic, fresh, never disappoints. We take our friends here all the time.

The scallops were out of this world! Was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance. For a restaurant in a strip mall

We have been here several times and I never really have been disappointed. Food is good atmosphere is nice and service is always friendly.

Food is very good and the service is fast. A little over priced for pasta but the atmosphere is great. We highly recommend this place.

The calamari was delicious and the sole reason for the two stars. Don't order the lasagna. It smelled and tasted off (some weird seasoning that wasn't pleasant to me) and the meatball on the side that I ordered was flavorless. You are better off with Olive Garden or Buca di Beppo lasagna. Thankfully I came here on a date and didn't pay any of my own money.

Food very good. Waiters professional .Some of the best.Nice decor. Would be 5 star except ridiculous prices for drinks ex a simple Bacardi and coke $14. Will return for lunch or dinner soon.

My absolute favorite Italian restaurant in the Orland area! The service is attentive and kind always. The food is incredible, specifically the pasta. A great date night option as well.

Loved the food and the location. I had the broccoli alfredo with shrimp and it was fantastic. I go back just for the broccoli.

Had the grouper special last night, outstanding! This place also has great pours on wine.

The best Italian food in Orland Park! Beautiful bar and restaurant with incredible dishes and amazing staff!

Great food, great service. Get the crab cake app you won't be disappointed! They also allow you to bring your own wine for a corkage fee which is always a plus.

Went there for Mother's Day. The service was friendly and fast. They have a nice variety to choose from and the food is great. The atmosphere is pleasant.

Open during Covid, food was so good I went two nights in a row!!! Support your local businesses

This is one of my favorite restaurants from a long time ago. Hadn't been in a while and had occasion to eat out. The place met all my remembered expectations. Food is delicious as ever and we even asked the bartender for an off menu selection and they did great. The best part of our night here was the service. Besides being extra helpful, everyone was so pleasant or even happy, something I wish was the norm for all service based interactions out. Definitely will be back again soon.

We chose this place for dinner on a Saturday night on a whim and the place was packed, however, we surprisingly got a table immediately. We started with the burrata con pomodorini e prosciutto. The presentation was not the best, but the flavors were good. I decided to have the caesar salad and the grilled calamari. The caesar salad was overdressed, which made the greens a little limp. The grilled calamari were large and prepared nicely. I had it with a good squeeze of lemon. It didn't need the creamy sauce or the giardiniera, in my opinion. I also tasted the salmone con lenticcie, which was good. Overall, I'd say this place has simple and decent Italian cuisine with no frills. Definitely a decent option in the suburbs.

Food was excellent,go there for the food.Front end not so good.we went there mid afternoon,greeted by manager? 1 other customer was seated up by sunny windows.My wife and I (seniors) were seated in the closest booth to the kitchen,restroom,bar!Back of the restaurant. During our delicious meal,several highways workers in their colorful vests admired our meals on their way to the bar,adjacent to our booth..Then a young mother came in with a crying infant in car seat and an over active 6-7 yr old..Guess where they were seated?? This mother seemed to be an employee and/or fam member,with much more/better service..Again..Go there for the food.!

Great local hangout. Bar service, dining room and outdoor patio. Tuesday Wine nights are hopping and daily specials offered.

Phenomenal! Absolutely delicious. I had the halibut, asparagus, beet salad, and arugula, asparagus salad and Rose' wine. Tasted the rigatoni bolognese and chicken piccata! All were amazing!

Had a fantastic time with a client and my boss. First time here and the reviews helped to make this the best decision. My client was impressed with the wine, the food, the atmosphere and positive vibe around the place, especially for a Tuesday! The Scallop special were the best I have had, everything was just perfect. The wait staff was excellent! I'm glad, that of all of the places we could have went within a 30 mile radius from CHICAGO HEIGHTS, I selected this place as it truly was an excellent evening with a new client!

Food was amazing! Ambiance was nice and chill. Very cozy neighborhood spot and I was very impressed with food quality. It was way better than some expensive Italian restaurants in downtown. Definitely will be back.
