Best Romantic Restaurants in Forest Park

Our server never rushed us, but checked in on us as needed. We had delicious paella and savored a long meal. We appreciated that they let us stay for a long time without rushing us out.

It was me and girlfriends first time going here and it was amazing ! 10/10 food and experience. We live near the city but this place is definitely worth the drive to come and eat. Will be returning again !

As always great time paired with delicious food. Always enjoy time there

Citrine Cafe has become our favorite Oak Park neighborhood restaurant. Excellent food, outstanding service, and an unusual, inventive wine list. Always a treat, whether we come for a special occasion or just a weeknight nosh.

Piacere Mio never disappoints! Every time I dine here, I’m reminded why it’s one of my favorite spots. The pasta Bolognese was absolutely incredible—just as good as (if not better than) what I’ve had in Italy! The flavors were rich, the pasta perfectly cooked, and every bite was pure comfort. Beyond the food, the service is what truly sets this place apart. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and attentive, making every visit feel special. Whether it’s your first time or you’re a regular, they treat you like family. I love this place and can’t wait for my next visit! If you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with amazing service, this is the place to be.
