Victory Italian | Oak Park

My wife and I had dinner here for the first time yesterday. Dave made sure our every need was addressed. He made excellent recommendations. The food was great. The background music blended well with the atmosphere. And the rest of the staff were fantastic also. We will definitely be back.

There's a lot to like in this restaurant but we also had some disappointment in our visit. The vibe is really cool -kind of vintage and classic- and the staff was really helpful and kind. The food was the part that didn't get to the level of the place: The bread was delicious, but the fried calamari was dry, the pasta plates we ordered were undercooked, hard and some super salty. The staff took our feedback gracefully and the manager came over to the table to talk to us and thanked the feedback. He ordered some desserts for the table (that were incredibly yummy!). All the cocktails were really good also. Even though I had high expectations and left a little disappointed, I'll give them another chance later.

The food was absolutely delicious...every single thing. It was hard to stop myself from getting more bread. The flavors of everything was addictive. One of the best French Martini's I've ever had. The service was excellent. Karen was amazing. I had a wonderful time. Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: Yes Takeout: Yes … More
