“ It was our first time visiting Illiano Cucina and we are surely glad we did! It was a nice night so we decided to dine on their back patio which overlooks a small pond. The server immediately brought us warm dinner rolls and tomato bread to enjoy prior to our dinner. I ordered the Chicken Monterosa, which was topped with spinach, fresh and sun-dried tomatoes, topped with mozzarella cheese, served in a pink brandy cream sauce over linguine. It was excellent, a very large portion, and included a side salad a delicious house dressing. My wife had Linguine Romano, which was aurora cream sauce, fresh tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes and a touch of vodka. Her dish was excellent as well and also included the house salad. The portions were so large we wrapped of half of it and had it for lunch the next day. The prices are comparable to other Italian restaurants in the area, but the quality really sets them apart. We will be back very soon to enjoy another fabulous meal at this delightful restaurant. ”

“ Staff is wonderful and treats you like family. We eat earlier than most so the service is always top notch. The food is cooked to order, hot, displayed nicely on the plate and oh so delicious. We've never had a bad meal and consider this our go to place. ”

“ My family visited Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge and came here for a late lunch. The food was delicious and the service was great. (The bathrooms are very clean!). We were a party of seven and were seated in a large round table. The restaurant offered us a delicious bread basket with "red bread" that was piping hot from the oven. It was focaccia with marinara sauce the rolls were delicious too. Pasta dishes come with a choice of salad or minestrone. The soup was homemade and delicious. My family enjoyed the house made dressing in the salad. I had the Sicilian which was sautéed eggplant in red sauce with linguine (my choice of pasta). I was full from the bread but ate my entire lunch. My smarter family members took home leftovers. ”

“ The waiter was so kind and accommodating to my toddler! He brought out a funny hat and kept him entertained! The pasta I ordered wS delicious! We've also had their pizza Togo and I'm a fan of that as well! ”

“ Fabulous place to have a delicious meal and enjoy the conversation with your guests. Waitstaff and kitchen are sure to get food to table hot, and don't mind running back to get extra napkins, water, more sauce for the pasta. Mangia ”

“ Nice dining atmosphere with comfy booths as an option. Two dining rooms - one has a view of a small pond. Almost always a lively atmosphere. Service is pretty good. Extensive menu. My favorite meal has been osso buco. I also like the different chicken or veal options over a choice of pasta service with soup or salad. I always get the soup. Their minestrone is very good. My meals have been usually good to great with the exception of my last visit when I got Chicken Maximo serve with old ruddy small asparagus pieces and a watery tomatoe based sauce. I will skip that in the future. ”

“ My girlfriend's family and I had 6pm dinner reservations on a Sunday night. This was my first time dining at Illiano in 5-6 years despite living only a couple of miles away and I have been missing out. Everything about our dinner experience was stellar. The first thing I noticed after being seated was how friendly and personable the waitstaff and management were. They're caring, accommodating, and speak to you like family. The dining room was full of patrons but wasn't overly noisy. Illiano is BYOB, We brought two bottles of wine to share They start you off with dinner rolls and pizza bread which is AMAZING! Even though I haven't dined here in years we do often bring boxes of pizza bread to parties and it is always a hit. Our server was awesome. One of the friendliest servers I've ever had. He had a great sense of humor, was always asking how things were and if there was anything he could get us, and was quick to return with everything we asked for. The food was great. We started with goat cheese stuffed artichokes and fried tomatoes. The artichokes were cooked til tender and served with prosciutto and a balsamic drizzle over arugula. The tomatoes were large and fried perfectly. We all ended up getting pasta. Gnocchi Bolognese, Gypsy with Penne, Linguini and Clams, and Chicken Sorrento with Linguine (my entree). The linguine was perfectly Al dente, ingredients were fresh, and both the clam and Sorrento sauces were flavorful. Portion sizes were huge and we all had leftovers to bring home. The entrees were all served with choice of soup or salad. We all chose salad. The dressing was delicious and it's to my understanding that it is house made. I'm not sure about everyone else but there was nothing I would've changed or preferred done differently. We were all too stuffed for dessert. I can't believe it's been years since I've eaten here especially since it's so close but I will be dining here more often. I already told a few family members we'll have to come back soon. Just a tip and there is a sign on the front door as you walk in but they do add 3% to your bill if you pay with credit card. ”
