Restaurants near Palatine Prairie Nature Preserve

Gianni's never disappoints! Great vibe, food, service, cocktails....the whole package!

Everything was amazing the food excellent but at the bar was bad there were no bartenders and we had to wait a lot for a drink but there was a lady there and she was amazing and made us great drinks she rocked💜

What an amazing experience. They are #1 for a reason. Started off a little rocky as there was no complimentary valet as mentioned on the website (maybe it's seasonal) and I had to wait an additional 15-20 mins for my reservation despite making it within the 15 min grace period. But I wasn't alone, the waiting area near the hostesses was packed! But it looks like we all got complimentary wine for the wait, hey, I'm not complaining. 15-20 min wait as packed as they were was honestly impressive. And once I sat down and began to receive my food, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the hype is well due! I had what was quite possibly the best steak I'd ever tasted, cooked to perfection, almost buttery soft. An 8oz perry filet wrapped in bacon and topped with lump crab meat, a generous portion of vegetables and good mashed potatoes. I also devoured the chocolate covered strawberries within minutes of receiving them. Great service, loved the lighting. Well worth the price. I will be back again and again!

We went for Valentine’s day and it was pretty loud but over all it was pretty good. We got to try a bunch of wines, some are better than others for sure depending on ur taste. The best part was our waitress Brenda! She was so nice! Will return for sure.

Wonderful service and great food. They weren't stingy with their fresh house bread, bringing it out often upon approval from the table. I had the Chicken Parmigiana, it was one of the best I had. There wasn't much pasta served with it but the portion of the chicken was perfect so it didn't need much pasta anyway. It was my girlfriend's birthday so I made a note on the reservation and they brought out a plate with tiramisu and happy birthday written on the plate. She loved it and we enjoyed the tiramisu, it was very good. They did charge for the dessert though which was a bummer but that didn't ruin my experience, I was just glad they followed the note so that I didn't have to ask them about it and ruin the surprise. Overall, I loved the place and I think I will return eventually as it's a great date spot. I would highly recommend!
