Best Family Style Restaurants in Riverwoods

Seemed there was only one server for the room. No one brought water or greeted us until 10 min went by. Had to ask bus boy for water. Food was good however

My wife and I really enjoyed our experience at Di Pescara. The crab cake appetizer was a bit of a disappointment, though. It tasted ok, but I was hoping it would have larger lumps or chunks of crab, since it’s called “Jumbo Lump Crab Cake”. It didn’t. My wife got the Horseradish-crusted Whitefish, and I got the Mediterranean Branzino. Both were really good, but we each liked our own dishes slightly better. Our server, Marco, was excellent. You could tell he has a lot of experience. The restaurant was pretty full (Sat night), but the noise level was not too loud at all.

Great meal. Started by dipping the bread in olive oil with Parmesan cheese. Worked our way onto a delish cheese pizza. Thank you by the way! Chopped salad and Brick chicken are always delish. Management and our waitress were wonderful. Thank you again. We really enjoy the atmosphere you’ve created.

We love this restaurant! The service was good at the beginning but then got a slower over the course of time. Some food and drinks were cleared before we were done with them, we weren't asked if it was okay to clear them. Then, we had to seek the waitress out for our bill. She was very kind and helped separate the checks which was wonderful. It can be loud in this restaurant, so just be aware of that. None of this will hinder us from coming back, we love the food and drink here!

Sat outside. Beautiful, good food, great service, great ambiance.
