The spicy chicken tortellini is the dish regulars order without opening the menu — everyone else should follow their lead.

Executive chef Scott Raiman runs a 50-plus-item menu built on fresh ingredients and deliberately non-traditional Italian twists, and Naperville has voted it Best Italian for five straight years running (2021-2025); it genuinely accommodates vegetarian requests noted at booking.

A heated patio and curbside pickup round out the practical side, and reservations are worth making since it draws a crowd -- expect it to run noisy at peak hours.
