   We sat at the bar and had a couple appetizers and drinks. Love that big bar. The bartender was very attentive and made us her own tequila cocktail recipe- delicious! . We ordered the bruschetta which was good, but the little toasts were too thin and soggy. The clams with white sauce were decent. But not enough sauce to scoop up with theclams and they very oily , rather than nice and brothy the way it’s done in Italy. The atmosphere is nice and I have been mostly happy with the food here. We will return and try something else next time.

   La Notte Ristorante is a perfect spot for a special occasion, or non-special occasion, too!

   We went there for my birthday and my husband told him it was for my birthday but there was nothing like a candle or a cake or anything that they came up with. It would’ve been nice

   Great food, service was very good but they were under staffed so it was a bit slow. Would have loved to try the lamb chops but $69 was a bit high for a rack of lamb. The Branzino was delicious and priced fairly. Cocktails were delicious but expensive. Overall a very good meal.

   Best Italian food in the Chicago area. Been coming here since the Berwyn location and the food just keeps getting better. Everything is made to order and you can substitute anything you want without issue. Giovani is a great guy and comes up to every table is he’s available.

    Had Easter dinner this afternoon. Our sausage and peppers appetizer was very tasty. My four-cheese stuff pork chop and the skirt steaks my guests ordered were delicious. The chocolate truffle dessert was also delicious. The owner and staff were courteous and attentive. Food presentation was awesome. I always have a pleasant dining experience at La Notte. Glad they're in my neighborhood!

    The recommended wine was excellent. The Caesar salad was excellent. Everyone’s pasta was great. I had the bolognese and it was excellent. The deserts were incredible. However the saltimbocca was not something I could recommend - the taste was just off - and the pasta underneath the meat was in a place it shouldn’t have been.

    I was greeted by a wonderful young woman. I came before my guests, a Server asked if I wanted a drink, or did I wish to wait. I asked if his bar could make a proper Vesper. He asked, and told me that they could. When my guests arrived, I enjoyed a perfect cocktail. The food, service and ambiance of this restaurant are excellent. My Pasta with Clams were perfectly prepared. Chef used spices to augment his recipe perfectly, the pasta was fresh and firm, the clams were plentiful and perfectly cooked. Not soggy, not raw. Coffee of course, was good. I will return, I’m anxious to see the wine list, and walk through the rest of the menu

    Service and food were excellent - many pastas are made in-house, and everyone’s meal was delicious! Bar area is noisy, but we were able to get a table farther away, where we could have conversation.

    This was our first time going to La Note in a couple of years. The food and service were really good but the pricing was a bit high and there are other good Italian restaurants in Oak Park that are less expensive. We did enjoy the live jazz music.

    This seems like a beautiful date night spot. It isn’t… not even a little. The food was very good but the ambiance is more like a sports bar. SO loud. And the facility clearly hasn’t been maintained. Needs major TLC and cleanup.

    Service was INCREDIBLE, food was so delicious-crestfallen not enough on the plate left over to take home … wish there wasn’t a huge table of kids and LOUD mom who didn’t take her own advice and use her inside voice but other than that we will be back again for more delicious food and wonderful service. Keep it up and give us more food to take home PLEASE!

    I have never been more disgusted or disappointed with an establishment in my life. We had reservations for 8pm set, but were told we had to wait an additional 20 minutes before being seated because of the lack of tables available, which defeats the purpose of the reservation?When we were seated we ordered food and appetizers promptly. The server had to double check if I ordered an appetizer, which I reassured him I did and what the order was and he said it was just to double check. Fast forward about 20 minutes later the food arrives, no appetizer and no sight of our server. The food was mediocre at best and lacked any flavor or seasoning, and my partner agreed his meal was subpar. I wanted to ask about my appetizer or comment on my meal but alas the server was nowhere to be found, so I ate of course but like I said subpar food way overpriced. After my irritation I went to go consult who I assumed was a manager and tried to tell him my dilemma, he had to have been so elderly he could barley understand what I was saying even after speaking clearly into his ear, and he completely disregarded anything I had told him. My partner then tried to explain what I had just said in a louder more conscience manner to no avail. This man was clearly not understanding of the issues, and instead decided to act like a child and turn the tables on me because I had told him the food was subpar and barley edible, to which he replied he was the owner and he was upset I had not been happy with the food. Instead of listening to our situation he chose to mock us on not enjoying the food and eating it, despite our server never checking in on us to even mention the issue in the first place. This old man saw nothing wrong with his childish behavior and instead found the server to come and address the issue, then stormed away and told him to deal with it, even though he is the owner? No accountability, and I would be ashamed running an establishment with such low quality food and service.

    Went with my wife for Valentine's Day dinner. Had not been to La Notte since its move from Marion Street. That space was cute but cramped. The new space - the former Barclays - is a big upgrade. This time, the service was excellent, as usual. The food was solid but not spectacular, not quite what I recalled, but it could have been an off-night. My wife's branzino was good but very hot from reheating. I had the risotto special - mix of seafood and light vegetables. The flavor was there, but a bit muted, and the creaminess that makes risotto special was not there - not undercooked, just dry. As with the branzino, it had been reheated before delivery and took a few minutes to cool enough to eat. Still, it was a pleasure to eat out again as that has been rare the past two years, and we will be back.

    Good but a bit pricey. What you get is well-spaced seating, nice ambiance, attentive service and good but not great food. The quality of food at other Italian restaurants in Oak Park is slightly better for the same price.

    I loved how authentic the food was, I’ve never seen so many tasty sounding pastas. I ordered one of the sea food dishes and it didn’t disappoint. The shrimp and mussels in the dish were so flavorful. Also the Italian margarita is good, I’m not sure why people dislike it.
