La Zingara Trattoria

Iconic/NotableArlington Heights (suburb) · Italian Community-sourced, unverified
📍 2300 E Rand Rd, Arlington Heights, IL 60004

La Zingara Trattoria has been feeding Arlington Heights on Rand Road for more than 25 years, which in restaurant time makes it closer to a landmark than a listing.

$$
A 25-plus-year Arlington Heights Italian institution with a 4.7-star, 327-review OpenTable rating and a full bar.

Executive chef Sammy Fortanelli runs a straightforward Italian kitchen — think Caprese salad, grilled calamari, hand-tossed Margherita pizza — without chasing trends, and 327 OpenTable diners have rewarded that consistency with a 4.7-star average. It's a full-bar, kids-menu kind of place: the rare NW-suburb Italian spot that works equally well for a date night and a Tuesday dinner with the kids.

There's no flashy discount here, and it doesn't need one — the reputation built over a quarter-century is the actual special.
