De Acquaviva - Sycamore

Our server was the highlight of my visit. His knowledge and description of my selection of food and drinks was on site. My New York steak, potatoes and vegetables were boiled to my taste. His choice was great. The appetizer at our table and next to us, we're both sent back. Our bruschetta and their were seafood. The women's bath needed attention. I'd give 4.5 stars if I could.

As for the food, I ordered the lamb chop dish. Despite my initial skepticism about the $40 price tag for a single plate, it was absolutely worth it. The dish featured three perfectly cooked, substantial lamb chops accompanied by a variety of vegetables and potatoes. My girlfriend chose the filet, which was slightly pricier at around $42, but it was generously sized and cooked to perfection. Her meal included three bundles of asparagus wrapped in bacon, along with the same selection of vegetables and potatoes. While the total cost exceeded $100, I can confidently say it was worth every penny. This restaurant is definitely a place to visit for special occasions, as it can make a noticeable impact on your wallet, but you certainly won’t leave dissatisfied. If I can save up enough to return, I will without a doubt. Our dining experience was romantic, enjoyable, and truly fabulous.

The food was outstanding. The Frutti di Mare was exceptional. The manager was attentive and provided excellent service. The Don Giuseppe wine was fantastic. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

This spacious Italian-style restaurant is located in downtown Sycamore. The portion sizes for the meals are generous. I ordered the salmon, accompanied by risotto and vegetables.
