Joe & Giuseppe Restaurant

A diamond located in a strip mall in Arlington Heights! I had an appetizer of calamari, then Chicken Ortolano (Chicken sauteed with artichoke, asparagus, sun-dried tomato, and wine. Served with a side of pasta), Peroni beer, and the savory Italian bread. It was stellar. The friendly owner visited all of his guests, spreading good cheer and receiving accolades for his culinary creations. It is little wonder that everyone "loves Italian"!

Here is a restaurant worth traveling a distance to dine at. Seven of us were there to celebrate an 80th birthday and all of us were delighted beyond all expectations with our choices. (We all had different entrees.) Italian food is usually my last choice when asked, but maybe this is no longer the case. Everything I ordered was enough to convert my opinion of Italian cuisine. I will definitely go back soon and this was echoed by my dining mates. Vegetarian options: Many meatless, seafood and fresh salads are available. Parking: Ample adjacent to the restaurant.

Hidden gem! What a fantastic experience, from the warm welcome to each bite of food! Authentic Sicilian cuisine that I will be returning for soon. Highly recommended!!!
