User Rating: 1 out of 5 starsMy husband and went to Italian Village tonight before seeing the Jersey Boys. REALLY DISAPPOINTING. I almost returned my food but I have never done this in a restaurant before so I didn't. I had the caprese salad and the eggplant parmesan. They doused the salad with strong vinegar and it really should have just had some good olive oil on it - but olive oil obviously is more expensive than vinegar. The same was true for the salad that came with the meal - the vinaigrette was all vinegar and no olive oil. The eggplant parmesan tasted literally like cardboard. I could not eat the penne that came with it because the marinara sauce was sour and tasted like it sat in the pot for too long. It literally had a metal taste to it. This was a real stunner. How can Italian food be so bad from a place that has been in business for so long? I am pretty angry at the waste of money. I should have sent the dish back but I am not forward enough to do something like that so I decided to do this posting on the website. I am a Chicagoan and will never recommend Italian Village to anyone. I am also 100% Italian so this review I believe is pretty accurate. Thanks for reading.

The food was unacceptable. The service was slow. I believe it has become a tourist attraction and nothing more. My husband and I spent over $200 for what???? I am a good cook and I would not have served what I ordered to my dog! I ordered the special, Pompidore served over a bed of asparagus tips. One would think that would be great. Well, when the waitress served it, it looked as if the fish had been dragged over sand and laid in it to die. I tasted it and it was unacceptable. My husband ordered the pheasant ravioli and the pasta was uncooked. It was pathetic. They tried to get me to order something else. I did but by then my appetite was ruined. We will never return! In fact, we plan on telling all of our friends that it is no longer what it use to be.

It was a beautiful day today and we decided what the heck let's go to Chicago - 2 hours later we were there and I said I would love to find a good italian restaurant. We parked and walked into the Italian Village at 6 pm, no reservations. Were seated and dined on wonderful food. Great service, great food, great experience. We will be back!
