"We ate lunch recently at Aliano's Ristorante, in downtown Batavia, IL. We were seated promptly in the open and attractive dining room, and our friendly and informative waiter brought us the menus, explained the specials, answered questions, and checked back with us throughout the meal. The main course--some had pasta, some sandwiches--was delicious and well-prepared, and we gave into temptation and ordered from their interesting dessert menu. We did not order alcoholic drinks, but the wine list seemed quite varied. Altogether a well-spent two hours, with good food that was well served in a pleasant and inviting atmosphere."

"We were there for Mother's Day dinner with a large group. Seated promptly, however service was somewhat slow as the restaurant was packed. It wasn't unbearable, but definitely noticeable as our server constantly was apologizing. Not a huge deal though, I've had much worse. On the bright side, the food was terrific. The calamari and octopus were very tasty and the pasta entrees superb. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. We also enjoyed the lemon sorbet for dessert. Outside of the few service glitches, a very pleasant experience. We will eat here again."

"Though initially the restaraunt was busy, this excuse quickly wained. We did not order appetizers and ordered entrees straight off the menu when our drink orders were taken and it took almost an HOUR AND A HALF to get our meal. The waiter only came by ONCE to ask if we wanted another round of drinks. He did do a few 'drive bys' -"everything good?" as he was passing by to another table...though the waiter did apologize verbally for the wait, it was not heartfelt and we were never offered compensation of any kind like a free appetizer or dessert or glass of house wine. Overall a poor experience and will be sure and tell all my friends such. As for the food, two out of the three dinners were just okay, and the third was HORRIBLE. PRICEY"

"We really enjoyed our first visit to Aliano's ! The food was delicious, they had outdoor seating (although it was a bit too nippy that night ), the atmosphere was nice, there was live music in the bar, and they had this fabulous magician who went from table to table entertaining ! We highly recommend this restaurant !"

"They had three singers lined up for the night. We saw the first performer who was great. He sang a lot of Dean Martin and Tony Bennett songs. A Cher performer was next and I can't recall the last performer. The food is very fresh and the entrees come with soup or salad, which is usually an additional fee. There was a $25.00 bottle of select wines special that night."

"This is the 2nd time we were seated in the middle area, not good at all, when the door opens you get a cold draft of wind/air on you. I had to wear a light coat the entire dinner time. Servers kept hitting the chair I was sitting in because it was so tight. This seating arrangement is very poor. If this continues, it would cause me not to come back to this resturant. The food that was ordered was not delivered all at the same time. In fact they delivered one meal and then came and took it away because it was the wrong order. This was the 3rd time we have been to this resturant. 1. very good, 2, good, 3 poor - based all on service and seating."

"A restaurant to look for special, not standard, Italian/regional items to be available.
A bit heavy on the noise. Coversation is difficult. There needs to be some acoustic dampening of conversation reflections - especially the cieling area and projections across tables through the rooms."

"This was our second time at the restaurant. The food is truely outstanding. Among the best italian we have had in the area. The service, as it was the first time, is just good. We were there on Valentine's Day, which has to be accounted for, but we have found the restaurant does not operate well while they are very busy. I suspect there is less foot traffic most of the time, and when things get real busy, they have trouble handling it. Despite that, the staff was friendly and courteous. A note though, do not order the Banana's Foster. For $10, it is basically just vanilla ice cream with a couple of cut banana's. Barely resembles the true desert."

"This was my fourth visit to Aliano's. I keep hoping it will get better each time, but I'm sorry to say it does not. The service and ambiance is great. The food, however, needs improvement. The bread was stale and the main dishes were barely warm. The sauce on the pasta dishes really didn't have much flavor. And the eggplant parmesan had too much breading. They do have a nice drink menu.
I think Aliano's could definitely be a "neighborhood gem" if they just changed their recipes a bit. It's great to have this place in downtown Batavia, but I will not be going back anytime soon."
