We hosted our wedding reception at Connected, and while many aspects of the experience were wonderful, I do want to share both the highlights and an important detail that others may want to know. First, the positives: the food was absolutely amazing! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—our guests are still talking about it. The staff were equally fantastic: professional, kind, and attentive throughout the evening. Tony did a great job of rearranging space to give my husband and I our own table. They truly went above and beyond to make us and our guests feel welcome and taken care of! However, I was disappointed that we didn’t receive full access to the private space as we had originally discussed and planned for. Leading up to the wedding, it was communicated that we would have the entire room, with a minimum spend required to secure it. We met those requirements, but on the day, a curtain was used to divide the space and another party was placed on the other side. This wasn’t what we had expected and, admittedly, it did affect the atmosphere we had envisioned for our reception. That said, I deeply appreciate all the effort the team put into making our day special. I just hope this helps future couples to have clear communication and confirmation on space usage in advance.

Food and service were both absolutely fantastic. We had Gregory as our server and he was phenomenal. The rose and limoncello at the end were such a great cherry on top. It was our first time and we will definitely be back!

Magnificent place, it was my first time at a restaurant of that elegance and I have found a new favorite! The food was incredible and the wait staff were so very kind and friendly. We got plenty of time to adjust between courses and the atmosphere was calm and the music brought back some wonderful memories. 100% recommend, I will be visiting again!

Everything about this place was 5 stars! Went for a birthday dinner with my hub, and it was so fancy. I absolutely loved the decor - The dining room is set up to feel like you are sitting outside in Europe under the stars. The food was absolutely spectacular, and despite being extremely full, I managed to inhale my dessert, which was fabulous. Absolutely plan to visit again when we have friends in town.

Connected – Review Connected offers an upscale dining experience with a romantic, old-school Italian ambiance. Expect white-tablecloth service, dim lighting, and a menu filled with rich pasta, prime steaks, and fresh seafood. Presentation is elegant, and the service is attentive and personal. It’s a go-to spot for special occasions in Peoria. Prices reflect the fine-dining atmosphere, but most agree the quality justifies it. Reservations recommended.

I have been here for dinner three times and every time it has been a 10/10. The food is flavorful, fresh, creative, and I never leave wanting more. My favorites are the carpaccio appetizer and wild boar entree. Their cocktails are delicious as well. The staff is genuinely friendly and they make a point to make everyone feel welcomed. I also think that they are fairly priced given the excellent quality of the food and portion size. Peoria is lucky to have Connected.

Amazing basil lemon martini. AMAZING. Eggplant spread with bread=game-changer. Mushroom salad was both hearty and refreshing. Carpaccio with fresh Parmesan and artichoke was delicious. We had veal for the table and the piccata was rich, light, and ATE IT ALL. Best service, personable and attentive. Atmosphere was cozy and fun with great lighting. This place will be a go-to from now on!

Food was very nice. Service could have been better, it was a bit slow. Desserts were top notch and you get a lighted candle show as well for any kind of celebration.
