Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Northfield

We had an absolutely wonderful meal at Pasta D’Arte. We’ve been looking for an Italian restaurant since Grazianos closed. This was a step above! I had a Caesar salad: a nontraditional preparation but delicious! Then ravioli with squash, absolutely perfect. My daughter and her friend had grilled calamari and octopus with spinach snd cannellini beans. Superb presentations! Then they shared a pizza…a little ho-hum, I thought. Desserts were spot on too, as were drinks and coffee. Wonderful service, great atmosphere. We were surprised and delighted.

We had a reservation at 4;45 and someone took us right to our table. Many people waiting. There was 6 in our party. The waiters were right there taking out drink orders and bread and appetizers came soon after. Orders were taken promptly, and we didn't have to wait long. Dinner was delicious, and we had a lot of leftovers, and the staff brought boxes to take home. The deserts were also boxed. All in all, a great Thanksgiving experience.

We occasionally go to Wildfire in Glenview, Illinois. We have never had a bad experience there. The food is great, the service is great, there is no problem parking, we never wait when we get in, although we always make a reservation. Our most recent trip was for Thanksgiving and the meal was excellent. It is a must try restaurant for sure!
