    This is a perfect gem location in Kildeer/Deer Park area. Started with an Old Fashioned. Made really well and seemed like a large one. Either way was very good. Wife had their lemon chicken soup which was perfect. I had a Caesar Salad. So many places just throw some Romain on a plate, but they really did it perfect. Anchovies optional and are fresh. For dinner, my wife had their pork chop. Flavor was delicious, but it was a little over done. Didn’t stop us from devouring it at dinner and then leftovers. I had the Chicken Cacciatore which was so flavorful. Chicken was perfect. Loved my left overs. Our server Deanne was awesome - thank you for a perfect evening.

    When 2 o’clock expecting to get the dinner menu. It was there Saturday Sunday buffet for Mother’s Day. I personally don’t like buffets because I’m a Wheelchair user and I don’t like working for my food. I eat there pretty regularly for special events and was surprised that at 2 o’clock. It was still brunch. The selection of food was good, but not what I was expecting for Mother’s Day.

    Went to Gianni's Cafe - Kildeer for Mother's Day brunch. Broad food selection and everything we had was very good. Service was attentive without hovering or feeling of being rushed. Would highly recommend.

    Being 1/2 Italian I am always a bit critical when eating Italian out. This is our go to favorite place. Food is always amazing…the braciola is just like my granny used to make. Their sauces don’t disappoint. All their chicken dishes are awesome. Have not had one bad thing on the menu. Portions are generous. Austin is top notch. So is Kyle. Ordering out or dining in….highly recommend…..if I had one wish it would be that the specials were listed online.
