    Belle Via is the best Italian restaurant for traditional southern Italian food in suburban Chicago land. The food is terrific and the waitstaff superb and attentive. The selections are authentic and diverse. The prices represent value and everyone has pride in the establishment. Belle via has become our go to restaurant for non-pretentious excellent Italian dining.

    My wife ordered Cacio e Pepe. They charge a premium price ($32) and it was not even Cacio e Pepe. Where the sauce is supposed to thicken and stick to the pasta, this was drowning in a butterey oil tasting sauce. Very disappointing. If you want to charge a premium price for something, do it right and make it good. The service was great but the food is average at best. I doubt we will be going back.

    This was my first time at the new location. Everything was just perfect. The outside has great outdoor seating with live music and then you walk inside to such a trendy place. Beautiful chandeliers all over, greenery hanging from the bar and large mosaic tiles on the back wall. Everything we ordered tasted amazing and our waitress was very attentive and nice. We’ll be back for sure.

    It was the worst experience I have had with any Resturant including Bella. I know it was a Saturday night. but that doesn’t make an excuse for having a table for two so small you can hardly put more than one plate on it. They’re just trying to squeeze as many people as they can. That was outdoor also the outdoor noise which is unbelievable to me was just as loud or louder than inside the restaurant, I’ve made a decision after going to Resturant for many many years when they were in Highland Park. I will not come back. We had one drink at an appetizer and I couldn’t take anymore and my friend that was with me agreed we got up and we left and the other thing is while all the restaurants that have valet parking in Highwood. This is the only restaurant that charges you five bucks to park is ridiculous
