   Beautiful heated patio, very comfortable even with the weather being in the 20’s. Excellent food and service

   Second visit. Food was very good again. Service is uneven. Very pleasant servers but timing is off. Drinks came out slowly; entrees came before we'd finished our appy. Had to find server to get our bill.

   Server was great but spread Too thin. Food was cold. All theee pasta dishes were Cold. The bolognese sauce was gross. The pizza was good. THis reataurant needs to focus on pizzas and limit their menu. We will not go back.

   Great experience. Had a work lunch and everything was great. Our waiter Curiel did a very nice job attending to everyone and answering questions.

   Dim, relaxing atmosphere, good food, decent service. However, no prominent sign so a little difficult to see while driving.

   My wife and I were somewhat disappointed about our first visit to Blue Fire. However, we are likely to try it again because our disappointment was based more on the service than on the food/ cocktails. We both enjoyed our cocktail—my Old Fashioned and my wife’s Apricot Sour. The food menu is very eclectic, ranging from hamburgers and pizza to sushi. My Beef Stroganoff featured a mountain of mashed potatoes and several large pickle slices, and my wife enjoyed her generous portion of Ribs.

   Review of The Blue Fire - Elmwood Park, IL If you're searching for an authentic taste of Italy right here in Elmwood Park, look no further than The Blue Fire. My recent visit to this charming Italian restaurant brought back wonderful memories of my time dining in a quaint neighborhood spot in Northern Italy. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, setting the perfect stage for a delightful meal. The service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and our server was happy to offer recommendations from the extensive menu. We started with the calamari, which was perfectly crispy and served with a zesty marinara that had just the right kick. The salad was fresh and vibrant, a delightful prelude to our main courses. For our entrees, we selected two dishes that showcased the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients and authentic flavors. Each bite transported me back to Italy, rich in taste and beautifully presented. Best of all, the price point was more than reasonable. For all of this—appetizers, salad, and two hearty entrees—we spent just $75. It’s a steal for such high-quality fare! Another highlight was the heated patio, which adds a unique charm to the dining experience. And if you're into it, they even offer hookah, making it a great spot for post-dinner relaxation. Overall, The Blue Fire is truly a neighborhood gem. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by. With its extensive menu, wonderful ambience, and excellent value, I can confidently give it a five-star rating! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
