Nonna Silvia's Trattoria & Pizzeria

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!

We won't be ordering from here again. I ordered a dozen baked clams. They did not taste fresh and the pan had over two thirds of a cup of the garlic butter sauce, so they came completely soggy. Called and asked for the manager. He said he would credit us, but he wasn't going to change how he does the baked clams because he's been doing them like that forever. The rotolo was also complete globbed with sauce. I should have asked for the sauce on the side. Perhaps then it would have been edible.

Dining at Nonna Silvia’s in Park Ridge was a delightful experience that truly transported me to Italy. From the moment I walked in, the cozy, inviting atmosphere made me feel like part of the family. Named after Silvia Giannini, this family-owned restaurant exudes warmth and authenticity. The meal began with a selection of fresh, seasonal ingredients that showcased the simplicity and brilliance of Italian cuisine. Each dish, whether it was a classic favorite or a seasonal special, was a testament to the care and love poured into every recipe. It felt like enjoying a meal at a cherished family gathering—comforting, familiar, and deeply satisfying. The attentive and friendly staff further enhanced the experience, making me feel welcomed and valued. Whether celebrating a special occasion or

This restaurant has a lot of potential to be excellent, but I would say it is just good. There was a group of extremely loud men sitting at the bar whose speaking voice level just so happened to be yelling. They were obnoxious to be seated near. Our server tended to these men at the bar a lot, and eventually moved them to a table right near us. I felt the service was not great, as we were not checked up on frequently. We were mostly ignored. I got the pumpkin ravioli, which had way too much cinnamon in it. It would have been amazing had the cook not used so much cinnamon. My boyfriend got the other pasta which was on the specials menu. It was a vodka pasta with sausage, which was pretty good. For the dessert, we split a tiramisu. I would say it was very creamy and did not have enough of an

Service was terrible took 20mins for the check, people around and the two older men walking around seemed friendly. Very home like feeling, the food however was terrible. I took one bite out of my grilled octopus it was terrible. If you like grilled octopus as much as I do I suggest jim n Pete's or la scarola. The baked clams were delicious just absolutely tiny.The garlic mashed potatoes just tasted like boiled potatoes with nothing else added. My friend got seafood risotto and it was okay.
