Il Vicolo Trattoria - Oak Park

This is a staple Italian experience me and my fiancé go to on a monthly basis. We have toured the menu several times and it never gets old. We have had pasta, risotto, pizza, salads and we still come back for more! Our favorite is to begin dinner witha Caesar salad and/or their minestrone soup the BEST! The only negative is that we are usually too full to enjoy their deliciousdesserts :

I love the large outdoor patio in summer. While I appreciate outdoor eating option anywhere, sometimes I feel am crammed in on the sidewalk with lot of people moving by but this is completely private and spacious. I ordered the mushroom risotto and my sonordered the basic pizza both delicious. They have a nice range of pastas and salads, and full drinks menu. Some of my favoriteclothing stores are nearby (Lively, Filoni) so make a whole afternoon of it.

Absolutely delicious! My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the 8 Fingers Cavatelli Con Salsiccia. The patio was fantastic—perfect for a summer night atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back!

We highly recommend this restaurant due to the exceptional quality of the food and the attentive service provided by our host, Leslie. She meticulously suggested dishes and wine pairings that truly enhanced our experience. We enjoyed our time here so much that we plan to return many times.

I really enjoyed the mussels and scallop risotto. The servers were attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.
