This off the beaten path restaurant is truly one of a kind. From the exceptional service (they have a staff that makes you feel like family), to the plate, this is hands down the best Italian food experience in the suburbs. Comfy and warm atmosphere, great bar, and the made to order sauces can't be beat. I must not be the only one who thinks this, because I have seen their sauces on the shelves of local grocery stores. Not only does everything taste great, it is reasonably priced, and you get large portions. It is rare to find a restaurant of this caliber still offering complimentary soup or salad AND give you fresh bread with roasted garlic. Balducci's does that and so much more. If you don't try it at least once, you will be missing out on what I consider one of the best kept secrets in the west suburbs. All I can say is DELICIOUS!
Pros: Sauces that would impress Grandma
Cons: Haven't found one yet
