Great place with a special atmosphere. Food is delicious and they have DJ on Friday and some other type of fun evenings on weekends.

Our waiter was very nice. We Googled Let Us Entertain You restaurants, and Chicago Prime Italian came up in the Yelp list. This is not a Let Us Entertain You restaurant. I would have chosen another location if not for thinking we could use a gift card card given to us as a present. Management apologized for not being able to take our gift card. They provided a discount to our meal, but stated they could not do anything else. If you are looking for a great meal try Cadence Kitchen in Downers Grove. Similar pricing, very good food. We had a lamb shank and risotto in the past we still talk about.

Oh buddy .. I don't know where to start. I had the ribeye special with scallops. Was definitely one of the best meals I've had. It's everything you would expect from a Chicago steakhouse and then the pasta!!! Oh my... Is this a steakhouse or an Italian Eatery... Whatever you wanna call it it is delicious!!! And the service was impeccable... I'll definitely visit this place again.. it's not cheap no real steakhouses is.. the special ran me $54 and it was worth every coin.. if you like red meat you're not going to find a better steak anywhere around.. And did you see the desserts just have a look!!!

I dined here alone recently for lunch in the bar area. My panini was decent. I did love their potato chip fries though. They were light, fluffy, & flat out delicious. Soup was so good. The cannoli were the highlight of my lunch hands down. Didn't remember my server's name; service was really good too!

Every aspect of my experience is reflected in the rating. Mgr came to our table to both check on or service and expectations, inquired whether we needed anything else, even provide some impromptu humor. Very appreciative of of choice to dine there.

Amazing food. Great bread and oil before the meal came. We had the bruschetta for an appetizer, pretty tasty. The meatloaf was amazing. Super thick and cheesy and meaty. Some of the best I’ve had. Had one of my co-workers crab cakes too, very good.

You know the saying 'you get what you pay for'? Well that does ring true with this restaurant. Every meal is cooked to perfection and everything from the staff to the decor is meticulously crafted. Dinners like the chicken parmigiana are served with well made chicken and pasta. Frankly, the pasta was a little underwhelming, your average grandma linguine, but the chicken was fantastic. The appetizers, too, are all well made and unique.

Did a curbside pickup today and it was awesome! Mike was so kind and helpful and curbside was so easy. I just drove up and they ran it out in 10 seconds. We got the Baked Goat Cheese and it was delicious and perfectly done. The Penne Arrabiatta was spicy and so good with some chicken. They even gave us a free soup as a kindness in these difficult days.

Amazing service. The food was all delicious and my entire group enjoyed every bite. The drinks also were made with great care and quality. Would very much enjoying coming here again and trying out even more of their menu.

Went here for my husband's bday. Food was good nothing special. Cesar was our server and he was very attentive and helpful. The best part of the meal was the appetizer. We had the baked goat cheese and eggplant. It was so yummy!

I have eaten at this restaurant at least 6 times and it is always the best. Recently they were able to get us in within 1/2 hour of calling on a Saturday night without a reservation. Whenever in the area I will always go there.

I would definitely rate this place as one of the very good Italian places. The ambience is pretty cozy and the servers were nice. The food was pretty awesome, just that the portions are pretty big. The chocolate cake was delicious.

Great steaks and desserts. The owner is friendly and stopped by our table to check on things. Only negative was the attitude of the bartender. Beware, waits are long on weekends. Make a reservation.

Penny Kellogg
We had dinner here while visiting Chicago. There was a friendly face greeting us as soon as we walked in the door. We were seated right away. The waiter was very helpful and attentive. Our food did not take long at all to come out, and it was delicious! We plan on eating here again on our visit to Chicago!

Had a blast at the restaurant, there on a work trip. The owner made a great impression on my friends and I. He took the time to sit down and chat with us! Our server was also very attentive!
Erick Norman
Excellent and delightful food, I love the character the spot has, and the staff members were very friendly. Will definitely come back in the future.

AJ, the owner, is a personable man who enjoys engaging with the guests. Being a bellman for a hotel in the area, I am constantly recommending this place because of the genuine staff and food. This is a family owned business that does well for itself due to the authentic food they serve and the staffs’ hospitality.
Tina White
This place knows how to do food right! Outside of the calamari appetizer bring slightly overcooked, everything else was delish and portion size very good The wine selection is minimal and is not cheap at all, however, what they do have will compliment your meal well. The decor is lovely and the staff were too. We took our time and never felt rushed despite it being a very busy day. I would definitely return.

Marc LeGuen
Good restaurant. We went with a large group (20 people) and the service was excellent. The food is very good and it's easy to get parking in the lot.

We recently celebrated our anniversary at Chicago Prime Italian. The food and service were wonderful. Thank you Chicago Prime Italian for making our day everything we were hoping for.

Good food, good service. Great place to take a date.
Ken Hashiguchi
Great food and great service. We love this place
Stephen Foster
Outstanding menu, service, and ambiance. Would be a great place for a very special dinner and well worth the cost. Kansas City bone in steak with crab meat asparagus topping was excellent and about $60. Pastas run mid 30's but other people in my party seemed very happy with them.
