Stefani's Tuscany Cafe 5600 Mannheim Road, Des Plaines, IL 60018

"Ambience looks good and they seat you pretty quick. The service is okay, but the food was pathetic. I ordered calamari and minestrone soup, calamari was too salty and not good, minestrone soup was worse. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant."

"Nice and pleasant experience, 11:45 am on a Wednesday. Almost too sweet for me but pretty good. Very friendly and happy servers. Meal is roughly $17."

"Greatly disappointed. I ordered a Bagel with cream cheese as one of the breakfast items available. It came with one slice of raw tomato, a sad lonely piece of lettuce, and an overcooked thin “omelet” egg inside the bagel. The bite-sized potatoes on the side were okay, but its easy to just pop frozen ones into a toaster oven for a few minutes and call it a day. What bothered me the most was how the cream cheese was skimped out on, I could hardly see it and had to find it “under the egg.” I asked the server where the cream cheese was, and she said it was “under the egg.” How is that legal??? The egg.. so bland. I don’t usually put ketchup on my eggs. But for this? It needed SOME flavor. Well, a bagel, or at least this kind of basic bagel is NOT a substitute for sandwich bread. Confused bagel more like. When I saw what I ordered, my appetite sank to the floor. The server noticed but she didn’t offer to do anything about the food. I do need to eat, but just not this. The only thing worth mentioning about this place is that you can sit down away from oncoming foot traffic. I think I will get something else to eat on the plane."

"Wonderful food and great service. The seafood bisque was legit! The angus burger was solid. The tiramisu though. Mwah! My compliments to the chef. Our waiter was wonderful. I forgot his name but he was from Bulgaria and very friendly and Informative."
