Trattoria Oliverii is an unexpected delight. It's like stepping into an Italian restaurant in Italy. The owner is attentive and shows real care in her guests and service. The food and drinks are delicious and my wife's gluten free needs were carefully addressed without compromising the taste or quality of the food. This is our new favorite restaurant. I highly recommend it.

A small neighborhood Italian joint. You can smell the garlic when you are in the vicinity. My friend and I split a pasta and a salad they were delicious. There were many older couples, one table of a girls night out and me and my friend. I'd like to say we are young, but it is all relative.

This is one of three Italian restaurants in downtown Northbrook and I would say it's solid restaurant. The interior is bright and airy. There's a front room and a back room and the tables are jammed in the front room to squeeze every dollar out of every usable space. Our table was big enough to hold our plates and glasses, but if anyone ordered a side dish, they would have needed to give us a tray side table. Many different dishes were ordered and I wish I could remember what everyone ordered... My wife and I got a caesar salad to share. The salad was great, dressing was not overpowering (as is often the case at many Italian restaurants). As this was my first time at Trattoria Oliverii, I ordered the Pollo Limone (aka lemon chicken or chicken piccata). It was a really good dish. The sauce was not too thick nor was it overpowering. It was a great first impression! There was a fish special and my wife and two other people in our party got the special as well. All three said it was a good dish as well. Another in our party ordered the Lasagna Di Spinaci (spinach lasagna) and said it was very good. The restaurant was packed from start to finish and they let us stay and chat long after we finished our meals. This is a really good restaurant to go to with friends, family, dates, or special occasions.

This place is located just steps away from the downtown Northbrook train tracks. It's small, charming, and has a mom and pop's vibe. I took my mom after spending an afternoon at the Chicago Botanical Gardens in Glencoe. We ordered the chicken marsala which came with capellini - my mom raved that it was the best chicken marsala she's ever had. The chicken (white meat) breast meat was melt-in-your-mouth soft and covered w/ a scrumptious marsala wine reduction. We also shared a penne alla vodka which we took home (portions are huge). This has become a go-to whenever I go shopping in the Northern suburbs.

I don't know why this place has 3.5 stars when it truly deserves 5! The food is incredible here from the penne Russo, to the chicken parm, to the spaghetti pomodoro. I also love the chicken florentine. For starters, you can't go wrong with the fried calamari. This place will always be a fav for me. I've been coming here for years. The service is great and the ambience is nice. I order extra most of the time, just so I could have leftovers!

If you're looking for a delicious meal in a welcoming atmosphere, look no further than this neighborhood Italian restaurant. Not only is the food amazing, but the ambiance is outstanding as well. The cozy interior and friendly staff make it the perfect spot to enjoy a meal with friends or family. But that's not all - during the summer months, you can also enjoy live music at this establishment. It adds an extra layer of charm and entertainment to your dining experience. One of my favorite spots in the North Shore!
