“We were in the area to have dinner and honestly were going to the neighboring restaurant and it...”

We were in the area to have dinner and honestly were going to the neighboring restaurant and it seemed empty so we went to this Italian place without any plan. As soon as we sat down we were served bread which was so good that we ordered another one just to have it with their olive oil and cheese and it was absolutely delicious. As we came in the front desk person was very happy and gave us a smile which felt very genuine and got us a table quick. The place looks kinda vintage Italian and cozy with a charming slightly old world vibe. Our waiter who had started a week back was very polite and helpful. We started off with our drinks, an Old Fashioned and a Manhattan. The Old Fashioned was less sweet so we requested an update and they were quick to add sweetness to the drink. Based on the recommendation of our server we ordered the banana peppers stuffed with smoked mozzarella, Italian sausage, tomato sauce, and cheese topping. This was by far the best Italian appetizer we have had, it was very flavorful and spicy. Loved it. For our main course again the server suggested the lobster crab ravioli and the Bucatini Westmont. My wife loved the ravioli and I did like the Bucatini, just that I felt it was not cooked to my needs, but the flavor was excellent. We also ordered a side of the beef meatball and it was heaven, so so good. Based on all the food and the recommendation we decided to have dessert as well. Similar to the other foods we asked the server and he suggested we have the double chocolate cake which was dark chocolate. We were sold and it was again the best dessert we had, truly amazing. We will definitely come back.

“Taurasi is a charming Southern Italian gem in downtown Westmont.”

Taurasi is a charming Southern Italian gem in downtown Westmont. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the owner. Our server, Owen, was knowledgeable, efficient, and welcoming, enhancing our dining experience. We started with a Caesar salad, which was perfectly dressed in a savory, slightly lemony dressing. The fresh cheese added a wonderful richness. For our entrées, I had the Cacio e Pepe with meatballs, which was rich and absolutely delicious, while my husband enjoyed the lasagna, which had a delightful hint of spice. The homemade pasta in both dishes was outstanding. Everything was incredibly flavorful, and we can’t wait to return!

“Fantastic Italian dining in downtown Westmont.”

Fantastic Italian dining in downtown Westmont. Delicious in house pasta and the friendliest staff make this a true Italian experience. Highlights include the cheese stuffed meatball, the gnocchi, and their chicken burrata. The tiramisu was a perfect finish to a memorable dinner.

“I have nothing but compliments for this wonderful establishment.”

I have nothing but compliments for this wonderful establishment! My fiancé and I went out to dinner last night and had a taste for authentic Italian. I found this place online and read nothing but wonderful reviews about the food, and service. Located in downtown Westmont. Parking was so easy (right across the street), and from the moment we walked in we were treated like royalty. The manager Sergio greeted us with a huge smile, sat us, and told us a little about the restaurant. Our server Alysa was nothing short of amazing, knowledgeable, and gave us wonderful recommendations. We felt like family! All of the food is made in house, pastas, sauces, and even the wine and desserts! You can taste the quality of the ingredients, and tell that every single person puts so much care into making sure every customer is happy. The whole experience was wonderful, and it’s so nice to see small (not chain restaurants) are thriving. It’s been a long time since we had an experience like this at a restaurant and we appreciate their hospitality! I think we found our new date night spot! We will be back!! OFTEN! If I could give 10 stars I would! 👏🏻🍾🩷🙏🏻🫶🏻

“The food is fantastic.”

The food is fantastic. Doesn’t get any better. I tried the banana pepper app, crab and lobster ravioli, and the canola cake. Everything was perfect. In fact it could only be matched by the impeccable service and warm ambiance. If you are looking for the real deal Italian restaurant this is it!

Ordered the Cacio e Pepe Rigatoni Giant, and it was delicious. Also ordered the meatball appetizer. Great food, awesome energy. Highly recommend. You want Italian cuisine, here it is. My party and I thoroughly enjoyed food. I very much liked the Pear and Pomegranate martinis.

“A great meal with family that we haven’t seen in awhile.”

A great meal with family that we haven’t seen in awhile. Our waiter was very attentive to all of our needs. The pizza that my children shared was amazing. The crust has the perfect crunch and the cheese, pepperoni, and peppers were extremely well balanced. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the filet had a nice bite. The lasagna was delicious and a good portion enough to fill you up. We finished our meal with a delectable tiramisu which was gobbled up quickly. A comprehensive wine list as well. Children friendly too.

“This place right here is the best Italian food in dupage county!!!”

This place right here is the best Italian food in dupage county!!!! The food is delicious but the owner is wonderful and so welcoming. The wine selection is great, the owner is a sommelier too. I ordered the lamb chop with a side of hand made spaghetti with meat sauce. The portions are large and priced well. I highly recommend this Italian gem in downtown Westmont
