Tina's Italian Bake Shop - Gurnee

Great original dinner. The dishes here are unique and wonderfully delicious. I am not usually a person who swallows over salad, and salad green with fruit are not something I usually go well together, especially with a fruity dressing, but Tina's raspberry salad was wonderful from this world. Everything else I ordered is just as delicious. The menu had different elements on it every time I was there. There are always one or two things like chicken or tuna salad, but the sandwiches and salads vary from day to day for a lot of variety. My only wish is that the restaurant and the tables were bigger. It feels very cramped and is so popular that there is always a lot.

A little Italian cafe run by a little Italian lady by the name of, well, Tina. Holds perhaps 35 people and that's about how many are there at any given time. But service is fast and food is good so it's worth any wait. Try the roasted red pepper soup and salad with berry ! dressing. Buy Tina's home made bread before you leave.

I love Tina's! Her salads are abundant and fresh. The food reminds me of what Mom would make while I sat in the kitchen as a kid, eagerly waiting for lunch.

Best little lunch spot! We've been visiting Tina's bakery for years and have never had a bad meal. Tina, the gracious hostess, is always available for her customers. The food surpasses typical Italian cuisine, with some delightful surprises. Among her best dishes are the pumpkin ravioli and chicken salad. When it comes to dessert, her bread pudding and tiramisu are absolutely fantastic. Thank you, Tina, for years of culinary joy!

What a hidden treasure! The food is fantastic and has a delightful homemade touch. Give it a try!
