Reviews for Enzo & Lucia Ristorante in Long Grove, IL
The restaurant was very enjoyable and very busy since we came on the last day of The chocolate festival. We were a group of 8... people and they were nice in accommodating us without a reservation. The food/wine/drinks and atmosphere are good, however, bythe time we finished our appetizers, it got really cold on the terrace. The main course was taking a long time (understandable,given the circumstances) and we asked the owners if we could finish our dinner inside, since everybody was freezing. They toldus this would be impossible, since all of their stuff was exhausted from the festival. They did bring us a heater that honestly,didn’t do much since we were a large group of people that were complaining. At that time, they had plenty of free tablesinside and a lot of people that were still eating when we left. I totally empathize with the stuff, but they were more thanwilling to move us, had the owner agreed, since they were freezing as well. Glenn, I understand that as you mentioned, this is agood restaurant but people usually pay not only for the food but for the entire experience and it would have been lovely to beable to actually enjoy our dinner in warmth, especially since you had the possibility and it would have costed you just a smalleffort. Going that extra mile is what differentiates and makes a business great! Read more
I’m usually not a fan of Italian food but this place amazed me. The chicken was so good and flavorful. ???? ????
Food was excellent. Service was pretty decent, though a little slow at times. To be fair, there wasn't an empty table. Bussers... were very attentive. It's a little on the pricey side but the quality is worth it. Read more
Our new absolute favorite go-to restaurant for Italian cuisine, amazing cocktails and a great wine list. From the garlic... infused oil w/bread to authentic Italian cuisine to outstanding cocktails, Enzo & Lucia is the best. I'm not sure why we didnot try this place sooner. Love, love, LOVE!!! Read more
The atmosphere is lovely, the portions generous, and the food was delicious. We also really enjoyed the live music which played... on a Saturday night. It's definitely a place where you can bring the family and easily find something on the menu for everybody. Read more
First time coming. Was looking for an Italian restaurant to "try" and couldn't have been more happier with our choice to come... here. Great food, service, and great atmosphere. from start to finish Everything was Great. We will definitely come back. Read more
It may just be that my food palate can't really comprehend the quality of the food, but overall the food was just bland and... expensive. Compared to other restaurants I've been to that were bursting with flavor that was begging me to come back, theflavor from this place was okay. The veal just tasted salty and the caprese was lacking a good amount of the balsamicvinaigrette- well it was there but it was dripping off the basil and seemed to get mixed in the oil on the plate. As for thegnocchi it was just bland a few bites in and I was just done with the enjoyment of said dish. While this was a celebration formy mother's birthday and the food was overall enjoyed by family and friends, I can't say from what I tasted that it left me witha longing to try this place again. I should mention that the chairs are also very hard and uncomfortable to sit on for anextended period of time. The only reason why I'm giving this place a 4 was because of the piping hot bread that constantlyarrive that had a nice crispy and flakey crust, along with the amazing service. Read more
