| My wife and I ate here recently. I was very impressed with the inventiveness, quality, and taste of the food. A roast chicken dish had wonderfully crispy skin. A bolognese dish with homemade pasta was great, too. We had our 2 year old daughter with us which generally makes things a pain in the butt for all involved. No matter. The hostess and waiter accommodated us multiple times. I would highly recommend this place. I read some of the negative reviews and am very surprised. This was not my experience. « Hide |

| At first it seemed like a sweet, authentic place. We were already put off that the foccacia bread was way over seasoned with rosemary. The mussels were over cooked and gritty. My husband ordered a veal special while I stuck to what I thought was a simple light dish based off the menu. He found his tolerable but could not finish it and Mine tasted like chef boyardee! I am pretty sure it was just canned tomato paste and tomato chunks on plain noodles with a couple of chunks of ham like meat. We decided to chance dessert just in case, but no luck there. The tirami su was so bland my husband did not want to waist the calories on eating more than a bite and my spumoni was freezer burned and had vanilla in it. I also think it was strawberry not cherry so more like a napoleon ice cream wedge. Our server tried, but he almost put his tie in my husbands olive oil and never noticed and once we got our antipasto he was moving EVERYTHING around the table for what seemed 5 min when we were fine where with things were to start with. All in all, we will NOT be returning here again, but at least we know! « Hide |

| "It got started with what I can only describe as the worst bruschetta I've ever had. It came out with slices of flavorless tomato resting on toast and finished with a store bought Romano cheese. Thrown under a salamander to heat through, any chance the tomato had to impress us was lost there" read more..... http://endurancefirst.typepad.com/proline_sports_nutrition_/2009/04/fine-dining-disappointmentscourtesy-libertyville.html « Hide |

| Bottaio has long been our favorite in the area, for all the right reasons. They provide a level of service that unfortunately is rare nowadays. Tom (the owner) makes a point of stopping by the table whenever we are there, and has ... |

| My husband and I chose this place based on the great reviews and the fact that it is always busy in the evenings, so I will preface this by saying that it may have been a bad night for them. But it was a really bad night. ... |

| My daughter had her wedding rehearsal dinner at Ristorate Bottaio and it was a fabulous dinner. The service was outstanding also. There wasn't one person who didn't rave about the Chicken Marsala, and the Filet Mignon. ... |

| I have moved to the burbs from the city and have found Ristorante Bottaio to be my saving grace. We go there whenever we are in the mood for rustic, authentic, delicious food. The staff and the Chef are all wonderful and greet us as family. This is our favorite place to be each weekend. If you have not gone yet, you are missing out! Get the homemade wide noodles with bolognese - it cannot be beat. « Hide |

| Service = 5 Stars Food Quality = 5 Stars Comfort = 5 Stars Like being in Italy. I highly recommend this fabulous restaurant! Not only are all of the menu items superb, you can order off the menu to your hearts desire. My recommendations 1. Veal Chop – Top Flight 2. Any dish with Porcini – usually off menu 3. Pizza 4. Lava Cake and an Espresso – Makes Starbucks Espresso seem like Folgers « Hide |

| The food is all fresh and everything on the menu is carefully prepared and served with flair. The service is excellent. Some months back I complained that I would rather have a pepper shaker on my table. I went back 5 weeks later ... |
