rave reviews
From our favorite customers!




We held a private event at IL Mio and it was phenomenal. The service was exceptional. Our server, Danielle, and the bartender were friendly and incredibly helpful. Our guests raved about the food. Our event was on a Sunday before the restaurant opened and we had the space to ourselves. The atmosphere was bright and vibrant. Everything exceeded expectations. We are very happy we chose to have our event there!

Very cousy and inviting place to be visited, highly recommended their vodka sauce gnocchi , phenomenal service, not the biggest fan of their drinks prices, it does have a bar feel and I was missing motivation to have 2nd drink. Everything else was perfectly fine and wonderful. Will definitely visit again.

Amazing flavors. For appetizers, the arancini was excellent. Perfect crunch with a soft inside of goodness. We also ordered the meatballs which were just as good. The gnocchi alla vodka was so delicious and combined with the appetizers and desert was very filling. The service was outstanding. Our server was very helpful and made us feel welcome. Will definitely be coming back.

Finally a great new restaurant in downtown Clarendon Hills! Lovely interior decor and vibe. The place was hopping on a Friday night! We had a drink at the bar while waiting for our table and both were delicious (Il Mio Mule and Peach Beach Frose). Then we sat outside where we enjoyed the Caesar salad (only minor complaint is that the lettuce could have been more crisp), the Branzino and the eggplant parmesan, which were both perfectly cooked and came out nice and hot. We also ordered a side of truffle fries (not too heavy on the truffle oil) and... read moreFinally a great new restaurant in downtown Clarendon Hills! Lovely interior decor and vibe.

We had local celebrity Krista as our server, who was fabulous of course. All in all a great night at a place we can walk to. So excited to come back!!!! read less

This place is the new GEM in town! The decor and ambiance is very chic with out feeling pretentious. The staff is amazing and don’t even get me started about the food! Everything was delicious. If you are looking for a hip restaurant with an awesome city vibe in the suburbs look no further then IL Mio. You won’t be disappointed.

What a gem!My wife and I recently tried the other new Clarendon Hills restaurant around the corner, and it was bleh.What’s the opposite of bleh? I’d say amazing, which is exactly what Il Mio was!Make sure you snag a reservation for weekend dates.I made one about three weeks in advance, for a party of five.Restaurant has a fresh, clean, and cozy feel. The dimmed lighting set the mood as well.All the food was excellent! Arancini, Burrata Prosciutto, Caesar Salad, Chicken Parmigiana, Bucatini Carbonara, Grilled Salmon, and Rigatoni Bolognese. The Chocolate Lava Cake and Cannoli were excellent, too.What a great addition... read moreWhat a gem!My wife and I recently tried the other new Clarendon Hills restaurant around the corner, and it was bleh.What’s the opposite of bleh?
