Maciano's Pizza & Pastaria

Nice italian and pizza restaurant in Vernon Hills Came for a late diner and found a fairly upscale Italian and pizza restaurant. Nice atmosphere, although the table next to us was way too loud. Large menu with combination of Italian dishes, pizza and sandwiches. Good service and fantastic value.

Great service and good food My boyfriend and I went to Maciano's for dinner. It was a little later, so the dinner rush had just ended and the place wasn't very crowded. We were seated immediately. After we were seated, a family with young children arrived and were seated right next to us. Not sure why they weren't seated another table over, as there was plenty of room. The beer menu had a few local beers listed. We both ordered beer. For dinner, we asked the waiter for a recommendation. He very happily gave us a few ideas, and left us to decide. We ordered garlic bread appetizer and a Margharita pizza for our meal. The food was fresh and very tasty. Definitely a place to visit when you want Italian. Prices were reasonable.

Great food Food is great. had the pizza a few times and it is the best around. The actual building and restaurant could use some work. The waiting area can only hold about 4 people. On a cold winter night this is a problem.

Good service, decent pizza Visited on a Friday night. Server was attentive and personable. Complimentary bread was piping hot and tasty. Pizza was quick and hot. Thin crust cheese and sausage had plenty of sausage and good sauce. Crust was a little thicker than I would have liked. Worth trying.

Nice Alternative There are plenty of pizza choices in the area. Maciano's is a nice little cafe style place. The atmosphere is comfortable, the acoustics are good for conversation. Little tables and bigger ones for larger groups. I had a slice and soda for lunch. The slice of sausage pizza was huge and I took half of it with me. I thought it was a little salty, but another friend didn't think so. It was tasty anyway. A friend ordered a lunch salad and it was a good thing she asked for the dressing on the side because she had to take most of it home due to the large serving. Others in our group were also satisfied with the pasta and sandwiches. The bill for six of us with drinks and take homes was $60 including a nice tip. Seems like a good spot to return to. We work in the area and will have lunch here again.

Best Chicken Marsala I've ever had! Great atmosphere and friendly, attentive service.
