Best Wineries in Carol Stream

We were celebrating my parent’s 58th anniversary. The manager, Mia, came over and provided a complimentary bottle of sparkling and a wine tasting for 2 coupon. Our server, Casey, brought over a complimentary truffle dessert. My parents felt very special so thank you to the staff. The food was delicious. For appetizers, we would recommend the brussel sprouts. We recommend porkchops, chicken piccata and soy ginger salmon for main entrees. I highly recommend Cooper Hawk’s for a special occasion.

It was very busy so thank goodness we had a reservation. I recommend always making a reservation anyway. I had the parmesan crusted mahi mahi and my friend had a cheeseburger. We both thought our meals were delicious. Between that and the pretzel bread that is served complimentary, we were so full afterward. We also got a bottle of the rhubarb wine to share. It has a unique flavor. It's a sweet wine but not overly sweet. I felt it was a perfect accompaniment to my mahi mahi. The noise level was higher than usual due to the large crowd but overall it was a very pleasant evening.

I had an amazing experience at Piccolo Buco! The pizza was authentic, with a perfect blend of flavors and a crispy crust that was just right. To top it off, their espresso martinis were fantastic! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. This spot is a must-visit for anyone who loves great pizza and delicious cocktails.

As always, the food was outstanding. We had about a 45 minute wait from our scheduled reservation but I guess that's to be expected on a Christmas Eve holiday. Wonderful wait staff.

We had a group of four, one gluten free… our server immediately brought a gf menu and gf bread along with their delicious warm pretzel bread. Our appetizer of lettuce wraps was delicious and our meals were all hot and prepared perfectly.
