Piccolo Buco Roma - set mere steps from Rome's famed Trevi Fountain - is where Cooper's Hawk Founder, Tim McEnery, first discovered Chef Luca Issa and his wonderful pizza. The ingredients were deceptively simple: creamy, indulgent mozzarella mingled with a bright and bold tomato sauce. But it was the extraordinary, tall crust - crisp on the outside yet cloud-like at the center - that won his heart. He couldn't wait to introduce America to a pizza this special!

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.

We’ve been to the Coopers Hawk restaurant in Naperville many times, but this was our first time dining in the Downers Grove location. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner with great service. Highly recommend!

This has become our new Christmas Eve tradition! From the moment we walked in, the festive atmosphere was absolutely enchanting, with stunning Christmas decorations that added such a warm, cozy touch. The food was nothing short of spectacular—each dish was beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The service was impeccable as well; our server was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. It's rare to find a place that excels in every area, but the Colonial Room at the Drake in Oakbrook truly does. Whether you're here for a holiday gathering or just a special meal, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
