Italian Kitchen is one of my favorite places to eat on the North Shore. The food and family recipes are AMAZING and the staff is friendly and the owners are always there. The service was a little slow getting drinks started but we had a table of 10 and a few of us in my family are big drinkers. The staff is always warm and accommodating, and my family can be kind of a handful so I always appreciate their patience. Once we got our drinks everything was smooth sailing and soooo yummy. I usually get the chicken tagliatelle with the vodka sauce-my favorite specialty dish that they make there. My boyfriend got the Lobster pasta and that was mouthwatering. We shared the shrimp de jonghe for an app-delicious! This place doesn't look like much on the outside but it is truly a rare gem and so worth checking out! Great prices too and great drinks and wine. I've never eaten anything there of all the years of my life I have been going there!
Great food. Alex is a great server, take her recommendations. A staple of deerfield for 55+years for a reason!
Delicious food served by caring wait staff, and you will feel part of the family thanks to the deep warmth that oozes from Emerald and John. Stunning ambience as well with their new gemstone works of art.

Excellent classic Italian food with extremely helpful staff! Generous portions, super fresh, why do I not use them everyday!?!
Always great food. Kitchen pizza for lunch (and dinner with doggy bag)
Best kept secret on the North Shore. Never had a bad meal.
Great old school Italian food. Love their chicken parm and tortelachi but they've expanded the menu some as well. Awesome sea bass.
Only if i could add one more star!!! . I just attended an event catered by Italian Kitchen! OMG! So many vegetarian options!!!
Fantastic fresh food! Fast service! Looking forward to the next event!
Awesome food and service!
The food is always delicious; the fish is very fresh and delicately prepared. My favorite dishes are the pesto scallops, the crusted fish special, and the handmade tortellacci pasta. John and Emerald are the sweetest people(along with the rest of the team) and you can really taste his passion for cooking in his meals. I'd give this place 10 stars if I could!
The Italian kitchen was like going to my mother's house. The food was exquisite simply delicious I tell you The cooking doesn't get any better than this.
I'm 35 minutes away and it's by far my favorite Italian Restaurant. If I lived closer I would be there twice a week. Every meal I have there is great. The Pasta dishes I had Manicotti which you never see on menus in other restaurants. Super delicious. The Tortellacci are out of this world. It always feel like a home when I go there.
Outstanding food and lovely atmosphere. Owners are always present and extremely welcoming!! Can't wait to go back and pig out on some tortellacci red cream!
I was visiting from Maryland for my graduation with my mother and daughter and we really enjoyed being there. The staff was extremely nice and friendly. They were able to accommodate all of our simple needs and the food was amazing especially the Escargot and Veal Marsala. I'm not sure who the owner is, but they should be proud of the service the staff gives to the customers. This is a place that I would highly recommended.
From the moment I walked in I was greeted not only with amazing customer service but the amazing aroma of deliciousness! Food was amazing service was just the same.
Food was really good. Was a little on bland side for my personal taste. I was expecting very flavorful, since it's a non chain.
I'd definitely go again
This place is absolute best if you want delicious Italian Food. Great variety of meals to choose from with generous portions that I need a doggie bag for. Good selection of appetizers, soups, salads, and Desserts as well. The Minestrone is excellent. Service is genuinely friendly, prompt, and efficient also.🤗
2nd time stopping in after Cubs game. If you have been wondering where all the amazing food and customer service went to, well I found it!! They friendliest people and even the simplest dish is like eating the food for the first time!! Definitely my new favorite spot to dine 😋
The Italian Kitchen was my early Valentine’s Day dinner with my girlfriend this past weekend, and we really enjoyed it! I got the Chianti, the caprese as an appetizer, the minestrone soup, the lamb chops for my main dish, and for dessert we got the tiramisu and spumoni. My girlfriend got the risotto, which I took a bite of and was also delicious! Everything was great, and I definitely recommend this place for a nice night out!
Had a pickup for the first time. Loved the crusted Salmon with great mixed veggies. My GF Chicken dish had 3 breast fillets that was excellant. The young lady Alex was working really hard and had a hilarius personality. Definately going back for our Sunday takeout...
Just finished another amazing meal and couldn’t be happier. The food is delicious and fresh. I can taste the love that goes into preparing each dish. The staff is always friendly and attentive. It was nice to see so many familiar faces, especially my old friend Alex. Go! Bring your family and enjoy a wonderful dining experience.
The food is high quality and the service is great my family and I love coming here and having dinner from time to time and it is worth the stop
The beef ravioli was amazing, I went here with a few of my clients and we were treated very well and the food was amazing.
This place never dissapoints. The food is great. Atmosphere welcoming & they can accomidate a large party. An all time favorite always feel welcome!
Loved the fish and chips and vegetarian selections. Loved them all:-)
First visit on 5/27. Wonderful food. Rich meat sauce with perfect flavor. Alfredo was light and balanced. Wonderful pizza crust.
Absolutely delicious here. I completely got my money’s worth with the complementary bread, amazing service, and scrumptious food. There is so much variety here and I really must say every aspect of my dinner was amazing from the appetizers right up until desert. There is so much value in visiting family owned restaurants. You get to experience dishes from other parts of the world, the people there are so friendly and welcoming. I had a very memorable experience here and will definitely be coming back again.
Good food. Starting soup and salad was mediocre, but everything else was excellent. Pictured is the pork chop
Awesome authentic place. Very nice place, bit cozy but yet awesome. Ambience is super.
We have been coming to you for great food for decades. Always get a great meal. Good service and it's always nice to see Emerald roaming around and talking with her guests. We will always be coming back for really good Italian cuisine.
