Warm, welcoming, intimate – everything you would want in a dining experience. When you walk into Antico Posto the atmosphere is the first thing you notice, dimly lit and romantic, but still family friendly. On any given night it is usually busy, so reservations are usually the way to go – But while you wait they have a conveniently located bar with a long list of available wine.
Antico Posto has that authentic Italian feel – It’s carefully hidden within Oakbrook mall, and is considered a hidden gem to most that dine here. The energy in the room is lively, and you will feel as though you have found your way to Italy!
I personally have found myself at Antico Posto many of times, whether you want a quick bite to eat – are on a date – or are having a family event, hands down Antico Posto is the way to go. My first experience at Antico

She went over an array of dessert options and we decided to go with the gelato of the day, which happened to be Banana Nutella.
To my dismay when the waitress arrived with our dessert - she had in hand a vanilla fudge gelato for our son, which I did not even know came with the kid’s meal. She was great about making sure we had excellent service and making us feel like VIP’s within our dining experience. Needless to say my son was all over the gelato, and ate every morsel.
My husband and I shared the Banana Nutella Gelato, which came prepared to us with freshly shaven chocolate on top. It was Smooth, and creamy – with rich milky Nutella seeping through the hints of succulent banana.
We received our check in a timely manner, and one of the other waiters had even assisted my husband with helping us out, which was very kind as I was trying to maneuver out in a wheelchair.
We left with yet another pleasurable experience and my son now has a wonderful memory of his first of many visits to Antico

Everyone wants their food to taste superb when going out to eat. Both restaurants served excellent homemade chips and salsas as well as queso dip. Reading the menu to order was no problem and both places had a wide variety of options to choose...
At Carrabba’s children can expect to be entertained by receiving the “Bambini menu” (kid’s menu) and pizza dough to play with. Customers also have an option to sit front seat at the kitchen counter, where they can interact and watch the chef create the delicious meals. Patrons can also chose to sit at the bar with availability to television screens or have a more private setting. The kitchen also omits wonderful smells, making one think that they’re back at their mother’s house for dinner. The ambience of Carrabba’s can create a home away from home feeling, that will surly make one feel homesick when they haven’t visited
I have never walked into a raising canes restaurant and have not been welcomed by a smiling Cane’s employee saying, “Welcome to Raising Cane’s” or something to that sort. The service is outstanding and that’s what makes it better then Popeye’s or Church’s or some other fast food chicken place. If I know I’m in a rush to get somewhere and I’m hungry. I can always count on Cane’s to have my food fresh out in a
At Bianco, this seems to come naturally. Initially, people might try Pizzeria Bianco to sample the fabled food. After all, restaurant critics don’t just like this place, they rave about it: “I first ate at Pizzeria Bianco in 2009, and it rocked my world. It was the best pizza I’d ever had, and I’ve eaten at many of the top-ranked pizzerias around the world” (Olmsted p 4). However, what keeps people coming back for decades is far more complex and includes how Pizzeria Bianco makes them feel. The combination of exceptional ingredients, Chris’ genius creativity, the staff’s impeccable warmth, reasonable prices and a little bit of something magical makes for a near perfect experience. Beginning from the moment you open the door, up until the time you receive and pay the check, this place offers value: you get more than what you pay for
Rotolo’s possesses an Italian-themed, comfortable atmosphere that is very welcoming while not being too loud or too
While we were there we picked up a gingerbread cupcake for later (below); both were excellent by the way. LH liked the gingerbread gelato better and I liked the peppermint best. These foodie finds are sold out of the cutest little edible store called Ginger's Bread & Cookie Shop (below & gallery). I thought the alternating Mickey and Minnie head cookies around the fascia and the Mickey gingerbread man weathervane were adorable little
Since 1903, banana pudding has been an American desert classic. The sweet taste of warm vanilla wafers can warm up a cold body anytime! The most common recipe for banana pudding calls for the use of an oven and stove top. Although, this recipe does make for a great banana pudding, it can take the average individual almost an hour to prepare the desert. Now a day, time is money for most families, so being able to prepare a desert like this can be time consuming. Having a no bake option can be the perfect fit for busy families. This recipe will provide you with instructions on how to prepare a no bake banana pudding that will taste like it came straight out of the oven!
If there is one place in Naples that I never get tired of going to, and where I can have fun just by basking in the ambiance of its atmosphere, it’s the authentic Mexican restaurant, Cilantro Tamales. At first glance the restaurant seems to be in an inconspicuous spot, lying in a strip mall containing a no-name music store and consignment shop. However, despite the location, Cilantro Tamales stands out from all other restaurants or gathering places.
A. My favorite sweet treats are tiramisu, flan, and vanilla ice cream, with fresh strawberries.
Alassio is one of the Italian Riviera's best kept secrets; once a top destination for Brits, it no longer draws the teeming crowds as it used to, outshone by its chicer French counterparts. Yet, this is possibly what makes it so perfect for a romantic getaway: what better way to connect with your other half than being immersed in a place that hosts few English-speaking tourists? Surrounded by the romantic Italians, you'll truly get to experience Alassio as a local and maybe even pick up a few pointers. Indeed, the Italians know best when it comes to food, wine, and how to have a good time. Alassio's silky beaches, sparkling clear water, and deep green
Whether you have important out-of-town guests, or are just entertaining family and friends, ice cream is the perfect after-meal treat. Vanilla ice cream is a common flavor for home at any important dinner. Family and friends, on the other hand, may like Neapolitan, a
Soon, we all sat around the dinner table enjoying my grandma’s culinary specialties. There was one dish that had stuck in my mind though, possibly because it was the last dish served that night.
I went up to the concierge moments later and asked if she had any recommendations for my family and I to eat dinner somewhere near the hotel that evening and she proceeded to give me many recommendations after asking me what kind of food I was looking for. I truly appreciate the time and effort she dedicated to help my family and I decide where to eat dinner that evening, since it was our first time there. We ended up going to a local seafood restaurant in the area and I thanked the young lady working at the concierge the next day before we left for such a great recommendation and she was thrilled to know she made a difference in our stay. The lobby was very high class and I was generally impressed by the hotel and it’s luxurious accommodations. The lobby had a nice, relaxing bar by the name of “Bleau Bar”, which was filled with quite a few businessman chatting having drinks. The furniture in the lobby was very antique, to convey the hotel’s French period theme and had beautiful chandeliers that were absolutely breathtaking to look
