Die besten authentischen Restaurants in Palatine

My goodness was that good. Traditional dishes were perfect. More unique dishes were exquisite. The only knock was that the Caesar salad was only average at best. Everything else was absolutely top notch.

Gianni's never disappoints! Great vibe, food, service, cocktails....the whole package!

We had a late Valentine’s Day celebration combined with our wedding anniversary. I selected Thassos as our place of celebration, and oh how we felt like royalty! The food- just incredible. The service- best you’ll find in Chicago. The drinks? - better than those I’ve had at restaurants in New York or Denver. Such a romantic setting for our special day and I can’t thank Thassos enough for the beautiful memories we have created there.. Do yourself a favor and make a reservtaion, because this place has always been packed when I’ve been here and it’s no surprise! I can’t stop thinking about that Shrimp appetizer with red sauce and feta!! Out of this world!!

What an amazing experience. They are #1 for a reason. Started off a little rocky as there was no complimentary valet as mentioned on the website (maybe it's seasonal) and I had to wait an additional 15-20 mins for my reservation despite making it within the 15 min grace period. But I wasn't alone, the waiting area near the hostesses was packed! But it looks like we all got complimentary wine for the wait, hey, I'm not complaining. 15-20 min wait as packed as they were was honestly impressive. And once I sat down and began to receive my food, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the hype is well due! I had what was quite possibly the best steak I'd ever tasted, cooked to perfection, almost buttery soft. An 8oz perry filet wrapped in bacon and topped with lump crab meat, a generous portion of vegetables and good mashed potatoes. I also devoured the chocolate covered strawberries within minutes of receiving them. Great service, loved the lighting. Well worth the price. I will be back again and again!

Wonderful service and great food. They weren't stingy with their fresh house bread, bringing it out often upon approval from the table. I had the Chicken Parmigiana, it was one of the best I had. There wasn't much pasta served with it but the portion of the chicken was perfect so it didn't need much pasta anyway. It was my girlfriend's birthday so I made a note on the reservation and they brought out a plate with tiramisu and happy birthday written on the plate. She loved it and we enjoyed the tiramisu, it was very good. They did charge for the dessert though which was a bummer but that didn't ruin my experience, I was just glad they followed the note so that I didn't have to ask them about it and ruin the surprise. Overall, I loved the place and I think I will return eventually as it's a great date spot. I would highly recommend!
