Pesciolino Osteria

"We came in Friday night and me not my husband were dressed for the restaurant but it’s ok. Ive recent changed career paths but have been in the restaurant industry so I am a critic when I say the food was great past my expectations it definitely was. The only exception is the mousse dessert I wish it was all silky mousse. Other then that service and food were amazing!!!"

"We’ve been coming since they opened but the new menu released Oct ‘23 is out of this world. The salmon Marsala is the seafood dish of my dreams. Every vegetable is cooked and paired to perfection. The garlic smashed potatoes are light yet hearty. The BLT risotto was absolutely delicious and perfectly balanced. The brussel sprouts had the perfect amount of tang. Overall one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. We already loved this place but now we are IN love with this place."

"What a surprise to find a little spot of European style dining in Channahon! A beautiful night for a patio dinner. Starting with drinks, the Italian Weddjng martini and the Godfather were a big hit. For apps we sample the crab cakes, spanakopita, calamari, and goat cheese dish. I can't say which was better. The marinara with the goat cheese was the perfect level of basil. The crab cake and dipping sauce-amazing. The grilled calamari was perfection. Dinner-steaks, braised lamb, chicken Parm, chicken marsala, homemade pasta and risotto-everything was five star. The atmosphere was laid back, no rush, the owner Maura stopped for conversation and the waitress was attentive but not cumbersome. We tried the Panna cotta and marscapone cake for dessert with some coffee. I am definitely going back. I was hoping for veal, but I was amazingly surprised with the lamb. A true Mediterranean dinner through and through."

"This was our first time eating at Pesciolino. We came in for diner on Saturday. Our server was wonderful and very helpful. Grilled calamari for appetizer was delicious and preferred it to most fried versions I’ve had. The pickled peppers were a very nice touch. Chicken Marsala was tender and the flavors especially with the figs were amazing. The Gnocchi shrimp and lobster chef special was delicious as well. Hands down best place I’ve eaten around this area."

"Hidden gem. Amazing food, great service! Took my wife for our anniversary. We will definitely be back. Update: We have been back many times and every time has been an amazing experience! The owners are wonderful! They obviously take great pride in giving you a great experience, they always remember us in detail, and the servers are also fantastic. We have now tried most of menu, including appetizers, and everything has always been top notch, including the bread! Any Italian restaurant worth it's salt must have great bread and stiff drinks, and they sure deliver! We have also tried just about all of the specialty drinks and love every one! This is our favorite restaurant by far! To the very few people that gave them a bad review, you either don't know what great food is, are the kind of people that have to complain no matter what, or have kids running around like this is Chuck E Cheese. This is fine dining!"
