    Almost 15-20 years since we have eating here last. The atmosphere and service was very good but the food was lacking in the flavor department. We had a party of six and everyone agreed that the food was just a little bland. I think the food was just lacking seasonings.

    I used to go to the Salernos in Berwyn when I was a kid. Now much older, I had high hopes Salernos on the Fox would be as good. I was not disappointed! They have the best eggplant parm of any restaurant I've been to. The sandwich was huge, enough for 2 meals. I could smell garlic as soon as I got home and unwrapped it. And the canoli was really good too. I look forward to returning and trying other items.

    Absolutely phenomenal dining experience! The food was outstanding—bursting with flavor and served in generous portions. The service was top-notch: attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The view overlooking the Fox River was simply beautiful, creating the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. The stuffed mushrooms were a standout—rich, savory, and perfectly cooked. I’m already planning to return to try the pizza, which looked incredible. Pro tip: there’s a restroom conveniently located near the exit—definitely worth a quick stop before hitting the road, especially if you’re heading into traffic. Highly recommend this spot for a delicious, relaxing night out!

    A cool restaurant by the river in St Charles. Classic Italian dishes. Come with your appetite. Really large servings. Took 2 containers home. The food was absolutely delicious. I recommend getting a table facing the river. Beautiful
