We were seated immediately upon arrival by Ari one of the managers at Saranello’s. He was polite, professional and accommodating. The service was absolutely top notch. Our server Mike B was very knowledgeable about the menu and very pleasant during our time in the restaurant. We highly recommend Saranello’s!

Italian restaurants are a dime a dozen in the Chicago area. One that is slightly off the beaten path but well worth the drive is Saranello's. The menu has just the right amount of variety without either limiting itself or becoming too overwhelming. Ambiance can be a little dark depending on where you are seated, but that's OK. My wife and I have been coming to Saranello's for a little less than 5 years and have yet to be disappointed. Food quality is what you might expect from a Lettuce EntertainYou property. Well prepared and excellent portions. If you are a fan of lasagna, then this is DEFINITELY where you need to go. If you make the trek out to Wheeling, Saranello's is where you want to end up for dinner. No two ways about it.
