Appetizers, Entrees and Dessert were all awesome! We sat on the patio for a leisurely dinner and it was terrific. Highly recommend this place. Wine selection is not very robust however everything else seemed to have enough selection. We will definitely be back.

Fresh pasta, fun atmosphere, good wine make this a bustling place. Make reservations! Try the shell pasta with roasted vegetables or the steak. Good for families and special occasions. The bar area is more fun but the service therr is not the best. Overall...always delivers great food!

Quality of the food was not as good as the lively setting and excellent service. The garlic shrimp and crispy onion appetizers were excellent. The salads were over dressed. The entrees, pasta and marinated skirt steak were very typical for the Chicagoland chain Italian eateries. Decent but nothing great. I am a huge fan of Lettuce restaurants, but this one... More

We started going to Saranello's the first day it opened and keep going back. The food is consistently good. The Chicken Parm., is great and there is enough to either share or take home. All of the pasta dishes have an old world Italian flavor. The asparagus salad is not to be missed. Make sure you leave room for the... More

We had a $100 gift certificate to use at a Lettuce Entertain you restaurant and did not want to go to Wildfire again for a 3rd time within the recent past so we chose this. It also happened to be our wedding anniversary and they helped make it special. Service was excellent and everything we had on the menu (including... More

If I did not know this is part of the Lettuce Entertain You chain, I would never guess it. Most of their other marques (Wildfire, Big Bowl, Maggiano's) are banal and predictable. This one is an exception: the fare offered truly mimics real Tuscan fare (my forbears were ethnically Tuscan). We had a big group here for a business dinner,... More

This is a Lettuce Entertain You restaurant that is located (in the Westin Hotel) almost directly behind Cooper's Hawk Winery in Wheeling. We always eat an early (5:30m) dinner and Sarnello's is never crowded at that time. The food is always very good and the chef will make anything you want. The service is attentive and it is less pretentious... More

Lettuce Entertain You restaurants are noted for attention to detail, and for elevating "just a meal out" into a very special occasion. Upon entering the spacious dining room, we were enthralled by a decor that is rustic but also cozy and romantic, illuminated by Edison bulbs in large chandeliers. At first glance, the menu did not appear value-oriented, but portions... More
