Il Poggiolo Ristorante - Italian restaurant in Hinsdale - 8 E 1st St, USA

Really nice experience here! No reservation but manager was able to hook it up (got a little lucky). Waitress was super friendly. Owner/manager came up near the end of the meal to make sure we were comfy and enjoying ourselves. Food was really solid and the drinks and desert were top notch. Easy recommend. Thanks!

Food. Ambiance. Service. The trifecta of a restaurant. The basic kids spaghetti made the adults want to eat it. Bruschetta had a perfectly toasted piece of bread, spread of cheese, with balsamic glaze atop delicately chopped tomatoes. Refreshing! The mocktail was customized, with pineapple juice, couldn’t get enough. Lobster ravioli with alfredo sauce as a sub, unreal. The salmon was a little dry but the farro exploded with flavor. Wrapped up with an apple bread pudding with silky smooth vanilla gelato and we left very happy. The staff was very kind and accommodating, made everything even better. Definitely can’t wait to go back to this restaurant!

Excellent food, incredible staff (they even gave us a free dessert since it was our first time there), and unique atmosphere. The tiramisu was the best I've ever had. The octopus appetizer was great.

You have to order bread separately. We don't mind paying for it. But the waitress said, " unfortunately " 😕

-1 star we had to send back a dirty glass with a lipstick stain and a dirty fork that had food crusted on it. Willing to try again though. We enjoyed a nice dinner outside here. The food and drinks were fantastic. The burrata was enjoyable. We had a pizza too, and while I would have preferred a thinner crust, we finished the whole thing.

Ordered Seafood De Mare. They put salmon in it but there were NO mussels! Salmon was all mushy but who put salmon in pasta??? Plus, the pasta always so salty. The waiter was nice enough to comp the pasta but still…

Food was great, price was reasonable for high quality. One thing we thought was wrong, "bread service" - $10 for this service is just one basket of bread (good bread). The service ends with just bringing it once ..So it shouldnt be called a "service" if it only means a basket of bread. Misleading menu. Our waitress was kind enough to let us know before we got dinged.

Date night Friday for me and wife at Il Poggiolo. Great dining atmosphere with balcony and good energy all around. I had rigatoni with sausage and parmesan and el pollo rosto - both were excellent. The chicken was served with sautéed spinach and roasted potatoes. The rigatoni couldn’t have been better, gravy with sausage was perfect. We ordered the bread serving, which was solid. Garlic bread was good, maybe slightly over toasted, but still enjoyable. I actually like bread being an appetizer; eliminates a lot of waste and I think restaurants that serve it as a billable appetizer put more effort into it, generally resulting in better quality. Service was timely and friendly, seated immediately at our reservation time. Recommend for a date night or just regular, every day meal.
