Family owned and operated, this neighborhood Italian joint, was hopping, and without a reservation, we were happy to sit at the bar, for a casual dinner. We were unaware that we would be involved in a small bartending class watching amazing cocktail after cocktail slide before our eyes. It's only then you realize how many staff there are because you see different people throughout the evening. But the waitresses and the bartender were absolutely kind and welcoming and not cuz it was their job. The food was amazing and the vibe was great. Can't wait to go back!!!

This is a very nice Italian restaurant. I always feel like I am in someone's house having dinner. Food was delicious. Olives with grilled bread were superb. And homemade ravioli was great! Highly recommend this place!

My wife and I had our Anniversary lunch here yesterday. The food was excellant!! I had Chicken Marsalla which was not on the menu but they made it special for me. My wife had the Salmon Fillet and Grilled Octopus as an appetizer. The staff were all smiles and attentive. The owner/manager remembered it was our anniversary and brought us out some complimentary champagne at the end or our meal. It was a great end to a great lunch. We will be back very soon!!

We tried a little bit of everything at Nonna Silvia’s! I recommend getting reservations especially for the weekend. We didn’t know when we arrived and we waited about 20 minutes as the staff were kind enough to squeeze us in. We tried the Bruschetta, Grilled Peach Prosciutto Salad, Sachettini Porcini, Swisschard Fettuccine with added shrimp and LOTS of dessert. The bruschetta was great. The peaches in the salad were not fully ripe but I can see the potential. The Sachettini was rich but very good. Swisschard was also good and the shrimp was cooked to perfection. For dessert we tried the pistachio cheesecake, pistachio ice cream and apple dumpling/bread pudding. If you are a pistachio lover the cheesecake is to die for. I would go here alone just for this cheesecake. The wait staff was also extremely kind and very attentive! Amazing service.

This is a hidden gem. If you're looking for authentic Italian food, this is the place to go. Our food was delicious and the drinks were well made. I enjoyed a Manhattan.

Nonna Silvia’s Trattoria & Pizzeria is awesome! The food is fantastic and the service matches. We were attending the Chicago Sports Spectacular as vendors when the owner stopped by our booth. We had a great chat and he left his business card and encouraged us to give his restaurant a try. We are so happy we made the decision to stop by. It was a bit out of the way but worth the extra little drive. We will go back every time we are in the area. Food this good is hard to find!
