Reviews for Lauretta's Italian Bake Shop & Cafe in Grayslake, IL
Unfortunately the soup, chicken tenders and chicken sandwich were a bust. Nth tasted fresh and the chicken was too small for the... buns. The fettuccine was actually good so I enjoyed that. Read more
Stopped in for lunch today for the first time and ordered the sausage and peppers grinder. The sandwich was awesome and the lady... at the counter was super friendly. She helped me pick out a few sweets as well which were also great. Definitely coming again. Read more
I was expecting better pizzas? pastries are good tho! We came here seeking for a mind losing pizza. Ordered to take away since... we live very close to this place and threw in some cookies and cakes. Dessert was pretty good, but the pizza was kind ofdisappointing. Specially since they have so much competition near by. I was hoping to find my next best place for a quick pizzawhen craving for it, but not the case. I will though come back for some cakes and cookies, although, for this, they also havestrong competition nearby. Read more
The wife and I stopped by for lunch today. I had the opportunity to speak with Lauretta who is quite a wonderful person. The... atmosphere reminded me of an Italian contemporary farmhouse. Food was amazing, we had the Pesto Chicken Panini and Cuban Panini.Their pastry selection was immense. We ate inside, but there was outdoor seating as well. I would encourage you to checkoutLauretta's kitchen when you get a chance. Read more
Wonderful food and very authentic.. Amazing customer service and prices are very reasonable for such a cute little cafe. They... have tables to dine outside that is very quiet and nice plants all around. The baked good are great. Read more

Lots of love put into the quality of ingredients and the place isjust super cute. We?ll be back. ??????? Read more
Took a visit to this small local Italian restaurant. We decided to eat outdoors, the weather was too perfect to eat indoors.... Service was very quick and our waitress was very welcoming and nice. We were served garlic bread as a complementary appetizerand it was perfect. A nice crispy exterior with the nice sponginess interior. Perfect amount of garlic and char to the toast. Wewent with the bruschetta as our appetizer and it was very flavorful and refreshing. I went with the Andrea Bocelli Chicken &Cheddar Panini while my girlfriend chose the Luciano Pavarotti Chicken Pesto panini both were very tasty and had a nice qualitycheese. Ingredients seemed fresh and had a nice crunch to the bite. During our meal they had a live performance by a localguitarist supplying a nice ambiance sound to our dinner. Experience was excellent and can?t wait to visit again. Read more
Clean restaurant, very friendly, and lots of parking for the size of the store. Sample Sweets were delightful, moist and tasty.... Cookies and sweets are $15/lb and they also had quite a lot of options as seen in the pictures. Philly Cheese Steak: Freshsteak, flavorful, not dry at all, cheesy melt on top is wonderful, and amazingly soft and tasty bread. $10.25 for the sandwichand side. Bagel Chips and Spinach Dip: Amazing chips, soft and seasoned with a crunch at the edges. The dip is quite good, verycomparable to a nice sit down restaurant, tastes like it's made in house. Pasta Salad: Flavorful, refreshing, good complementto the Luciano sandwich Luciano Pavarottti: Good harmony of flavors, well constructed and easy to eat, feels fresh andhandmade. $9.25 for the panini and side. Overall, we plan to come back since it ends up costing the same as fast food for usand the quality is so much higher obviously! Update 10/29/22: Food was less great this time, not bad, but received an entirelydifferent sandwich after the bag was double checked. Read more
