Naperville Restaurants
 

Looking for a recommendation for a nice restaurant for three couples for dinner this Saturday.

Nothing too noisy.

Thanks!

This isn't Naperville, but it's close. If you'd be interested in a family owned, casual Italian restaurant, you could try Del Debbio's on Ogden in Lisle. They have excellent specials that usually range from $17 to $21. And their regular menu, generally less expensive, is very good too.

My one reservation about recommending it is that the service can be spotty. There are some waitresses, most notably the two daughters, who are excellent. But there's one in particular whom we are never happy to get.

On a Saturday night, with a group of six, I'd definitely suggest calling ahead for a reservation.

Rosebud
Sullivan's
Catch 35
10 West
Meson Sabika

Meson Sabika (Spanish/tapas, but with a pretty broad selection) is one of our favorites. It's in an old mansion with a bunch of different small rooms. They also have a very nice outdoor patio. I've never found it to be noisy - except the one time when a woman in our room spent most of the time talking loudly on her cell phone (given the relative quiet, everyone else in the room heard everything she said). Reservations recommended for a Saturday.

I love Meson Sabika - heck, I love tapas anywhere! A funny story about the last time I ate there: We were seated on the patio, and as a courtesy, a member of our group who was about to light a cigaratte asked the busboy if she was allowed to smoke there. He told her no, but that she could go INSIDE to smoke!!

Caph52, used to go to Naperville & Lisle for sales territory when we lived in Chicagoland.Your post on Del Debbio's makes my mouth water and my heart swoon. Used to close lots of business deals over lunch there. Reminds me of a real Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin kind of place. Glad to hear it's still going strong. Wish I lived closer!!

Oh, it's still going strong, Aliska! Probably with the same waitresses! I don't know what'll happen when the chef/husband/father decides it's time to retire. You'll have to try to take a little trip this way before then!

Capri is fantastic! It's on Ogden right before ogden turns left. Another favorite is la sorrella di francesca in downtown naperville. Rosebud is good, so is Hugo's frog bar and catch 35.

I don't care much for Meson Sabika... don't think thier tapas is all that, and as for Sullivans, last time I ate there with a group of 10, we all got sick.

I actually ended up making a reservation at Hugo's Frog Bar.

Have a nice weekend everyone!
