While the ambiance of the place was unique and quaint, the food and service aspect was quite inadequate. The quality of the food wasn't great (dry chicken and tough calamari) and the service was even worse (what should have been a 45-minute lunch last over an hour and a half). What's more, they were out of Lasagna, which I feel is a basic Italian dish! They were also out of a desseert. I'd recommend going somewhere else to indulge in Italian cuisine!
The food has been inconsistent, both in time for preparation and in quality.
A gem in Elgin: On our way to the symphony we passed this little restaurant and thought to give it a try. Out of the ordinary, delicious food was our reward. Cafe Magdalena is now one of our favorites and we love to bring friends.
