“Excellent porcini pasta and fennel sausage pasta. Perfect calamari. Friendly service, nice atmosphere.”
“First time dining at Nonna Silvia’s Trattoria & Pizzeria and I was really impressed. Everything from the food to the service was great, and it’s such a cozy spot in Park Ridge. We tried several dishes and everything was solid, but the standouts for me were the Arancini, Eggplant Parm, Veggie Thin Pizza, and the Toffee Sticky Cake. The portions were generous, the flavors were balanced, and the whole experience had that classic, comforting Italian feel. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re looking for a great Italian restaurant in the Chicago suburbs. I’ll be back.”
“Best ravioli ever! Food here is great. Good service. Love the sangria too!”
“Wonderful atmosphere, attentive staff. Top 5 lasagna of all time. Great bread. Place is really top notch.”
“Enjoyed Mother’s Day dinner. Outdoor seating was nice and service was quick.”
“4/2026 4* No real complaints. Washroom was tiny and interesting to get to. Food was quite good. Service left some to be desired though.”
“Service was terrible took 20mins for the check, people around and the two older men walking around seemed friendly. Very home like feeling, the food however was terrible. I took one bite out of my grilled octopus it was terrible. If you like grilled octopus as much as I do I suggest jim n Pete's or la scarola. The baked clams were delicious just absolutely tiny.The garlic mashed potatoes just tasted like boiled potatoes with nothing else added. My friend got seafood risotto and it was okay.”
“Our waitress was a woman by the name of Joy. It was our first time at this restaurant and she made every effort to serve us well and give information about the food we were interested in. It was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and we enjoyed it very much.”
“I don’t write reviews very often but the service here is phenomenal. I think the waitress was the nicest most attentive waitress I have ever had. The food was amazing too. The pasta, steak, and all the desserts were top notch. I live 30 min away but I would come back here again anytime. Highly recommend!”
