Restaurants near Oak Park Historic District

We really enjoyed our Valentine’s Day Lunch at Ooka. The service was fantastic. The server was friendly and knowledgeable and really made effort to connect with us - the sushi rolls were fantastic. This is one of our favorites places to go for a nice dinner out.

Salt BBQ was overall a good experience, we got what we came for. We came in during opening and were sat quickly. We had a few servers during our meal, all were attentive and could answer all of our questions. Food was good, and bonus for the cheese corn coming with our grilled items. The quality of the meat was great as well, but prices were a little high. Pricey, but I would say for a fancy night out definitely worth it.

Delicious. Waitress was very good. Table and booths are arranged so noise level is controlled.

My husband and I just ate here, and the food was fantastic. I had the Caesar salad with homemade dressing and the Sunday gravy, which included meatballs, sausage, and pork on the bone over penne. My husband had the Foles Salad—lettuce, fennel, beets, and feta in an incredible dressing—and also the Sunday gravy. The meal was as authentic Italian as you can get. I saw a review saying that chain restaurants have better food, which really surprised me. We’ve been to Italy six times and traveled extensively, and this meal truly captured the flavors of authentic Italian cuisine. My husband, who is Italian, has grown up eating traditional dishes, and we both think the quality here is outstanding. Of course, everyone has different tastes, and if someone prefers chain restaurants, that’s their preference. But in our experience, this place delivers the kind of homemade, high-quality Italian food that’s hard to find outside of Italy.

Always an attentive and friendly staff!!!! Great food and of course the margaritas
