Stefani's Tuscany Cafe - Des Plaines

They don't expect to eat well at the busy airport, but this restaurant was an exception. The food was excellent, the wine selection was great, and the service from Constantino was outstanding. I would avoid this place like the plague, but if I had to eat here, I would definitely choose Toskana over everywhere else. It's much better than the United Lounge.

The food was delicious. The beer was expensive, but being an airport restaurant, it's to be expected.

I had a delicious meatball at this restaurant, which was much larger than I anticipated. The servers all had Italian accents. While I am not an expert on Italian cuisine, I found this place to be very good.

The 1/2 pfund angus burger is delicious. the pommes are crisp and seasoned with parmesan.

Based on some Google reviews this wasn't our first choice but we're glad we had dinner here. Airport dining is always iffy at ORD but the service was excellent on a Wednesday night and our picky palates were satisfied. Every restaurant we know has struggled post-pandemic and this one is trying to bring back all their 2019 dishes. Almost there, but no bread and olive oil yet. That's ok.
