Italian Restaurants in McHenry County, IL

Red Sauce Classics to Handmade Pasta

Some of these Italian spots have served the same families for three generations. Order the chicken parm, and you'll understand why nobody's changed a thing. Others are newer, rolling fresh pasta by hand or firing pizza in a wood-burning oven. Most sit in the county's small downtowns, the kind of place you walk to after parking once and staying for hours. Good for Sunday dinner, a first date, or a plate of gnocchi that ruins boxed pasta for you forever. Browse Italian restaurants below.
