Reviews for Di Pescara in Northbrook, IL
Diverse menu options. We went with the gnocchi and the horseradish whitefish. Both dishes were great. Wait staff was hoping to... keep the tables satisfied. Overall, an enjoyable experience. Read more
My first time here and it was a good experience. Service was excellent and I liked the ambiance of the dining room. The bar... looked beautiful and I will be back to sit in there on my next visit. I noticed a pattern of all the dinner menu items beingoverpriced by about $5. The crab and lobster bisque was delicious. The shrimp oreganata tasted sweet, like it had a bit too muchsugar, and the portion of pasta and spinach was quite small for an entree that claimed to be a pasta dish with shrimp. I tookaway one star for the slightly small entree portion for the price charged, a chip on the rim of the coffee cup I was given, andthem not having the dessert that I ordered. Overall, I would definitely come here again, but only if I happen to be in the area. Read more
Excellent fresh fish! Buttery and flaky white fish. Flavorful with subtle but a variety of flavor. The fish and the risotto won... favorite dishes. Friendly and attentive services. Lunch menu 20-30 per person Dinner menu 30-40 per person Connected to themall with outdoor entrance and small outdoor seating. Read more
My boyfriend and I were on a date here on a busy Monday! The food is so good. That fried calamari is to die for. We finished it... off in like 3 minutes haha. We also got the orchard salad! Very refreshing. I’ve never had gnocchi before and wanted to try itout. I personally wasn’t a huge fan of it, could’ve just been me and my taste buds though. But the meatballs were so good!Saving the best for last, their oven roasted salmon. 10/10. I think I could eat that everyday! Cooked perfectly and just theright amount of seasoning. If you end up dining here you have to try the salmon! You will not be disappointed. One thing to noteis the service. Hard to complain about slow service because every restaurant is suffering from a staff shortage, but we werethere around 2 hours. Food came out at a normal time (around 15-20 minutes), but our server must’ve been swamped or somethingbecause we felt completely ignored. It took her about 30-40 minutes just to get our appetizer order. Chet (a different server)saved the day!! He saw that we were just waiting around with empty glasses & finished off appetizers and took care of us. He wasvery kind and understanding when I told him I wasn’t a big fan of the gnocchi. Offered to bring out another meal (even thoughit was 30-40 minutes after close) or take it off the bill. I really appreciate him going out of his way and taking care of us :)I would totally recommend this restaurant to anybody who’s a fan of seafood. Read more
Overall decent experience. Salmon dish was cooked and seasoned well but portion felt a little small. Shrimp de pescara was... really delicious & served as an appetizer. Whitefish dish was very ok. Would not order again. Very bland and veggies weren’troasted fully. Cake was very rich and portion was generous. Ended up packing half to-go. Would eat here again, but would preferBig Bowl over this place. Read more
Poke bowl here was fantastic. It definitely needed the dressing which tied the entire dish together, it the salmon and tuna were... fresh and not fishy, the rice was classic sticky, and the cabbage and other greens had a great crunch and flavor. It also camewith a side of bread which was extremely soft. About $23 with tax and it was well worth it. I highly recommend this bowl if youlike sushi, but in a bowl form! Read more
This has always been one of my favorite restaurants! The staff has and continues to be very accommodating. We have not dined in... since the “ new normal” started but prior to that we went there often. Since then we have don’t take out. Each time it’sbeen wonderful. Chicken Jardiniere is really good! Salads are large and fresh accompanied with grilled chicken , very good.Always professional and friendly. Read more
We used to be big fans of this place, but it's gone downhill a lot in the last year or so. Takeout orders almost always have a... mistake in them, but the kicker came when we found a nail with a band-aid in a salad. We called the restaurant and theirsolution was to send a gift card that worked out to a partial refund for the meal with the nail. We haven't been back since andI can't imagine we are going back soon, so the gift card is both insufficient and of no use. Aren't restaurant workers supposedto wear rubber gloves? Read more
