DeNucci's Highland Park Reviews
Another great restaurant by Ballyhoo Hospitality!
Another great restaurant by Ballyhoo, very well run, with very good food and service. Great ambiance. Monday night it’s tavern style pizza, a must visit!

The mediocre food and obnoxious noise level would be reasons alone not to return. But the service was among the worst I've experienced. From a 20 minute wait with a reservation, to a waitress who could not have cared less about our table. We ha

I was really excited to try DeNucci's because I have seen it everywhere, but it did not live up to the hype for me. The bruschetta was great, but the vodka pasta tasted sour and was not enjoyable. The chocolate gelato was good, but nothing speci

So happy Denucci's came to the Northern burbs! Such a great spot. The food is delicious. The vodka pasta is one of the best I have had and the pasta is always cooked al dente and not mushy. The drinks are delicious as well. The espresso martini

Was visiting Highland Park and loved our experience at Denuccis! Located in downtown, it's a great place to sit outdoors when there is nice weather. We ordered an array of dishes - artichoke, salad, a few pastas and a pizza. Everything was del
Second visit to Denucci's.
..Delicious artichoke appetizer, fabulous garlic knot rolls, outstanding eggplant parmesan, excellent Branzino and tortellini Bolognese. Such a nice server, prompt service, lovely decor, fun atmosphere. Highly recommend.
First time dining here.
Really enjoyed the food. Pasta dishes were excellent. Service was very good. However, there were a couple of things that I think can be improved which would have me rate this restaurant 5 stars. One, why do I have to ask for bread? I spent a

Tried this spot for the first time and overall had an average experience! We ordered the grilled calamari, chopped salad, artichoke, broccoli, and branzino. The appetizers were decent, nothing particularly memorable. The broccoli stole the show!! P

Restaurant was hot Service was rude server told us her pants were soaked Food was marginal We should have left
TLDR: Food was good, service is sub-par.
Make sure you double check everything or you will be overcharged. We came in on a Wednesday night as a party of 5 and it was busy, but not overly so, and it did take a while to order but we were not too bothered. Our waiter, Tim? told us he was new,
Worst spaghetti cacio e pepe I've had.
Tasted like Olive Garden - they clearly didn't use the traditional Italian recipe. Waste of money - go to the authentic Italian in Highwood (or anywhere else).

Downtown Highland Park seems to get restaurants to come in, but a lot really don't stay. The stalwarts are all here (Michael's Red Hots, Once Upon A Bagel, Backyard Grill, etc.) but others tend to come and go. I'm hoping DeNucci's

We have been here several times now and it has become a go to. We were able to find a last minute reservation and it was so easy to find parking on 2nd in Highland Park. The food was delicious! We also have had wonderful wait staff every time.

I'm surprised that this place is rated as average, because we are a couple of foodies and this is definitely our new favorite place in town. We ordered the arancini and artichokes to start, which were both very delicious and the perfect blend of
After discussion, needs all round better performance.
Stress cleanliness with employees
The best Cacio E Pepe in a new favorite.
Fantastic evening. Simple meal- great Aperitifs if Lemoncello Sptitz and Hugo were delicious. Then right to dinner. I had Casio e Pepe- I've been having this a lot lately and DeNucci's is the best. The pasta is perfectly cooked, which is th
Not just another Italian restaurant - a really good one!
Located in the restaurant space just north of Highland Park's only movie theatre, DeNucci's is an elegant addition to HP's restaurant scene. My wife and I enjoyed a light dinner of fish, pasta & meat balls, and a salad. Fish was ex
Connect with users posting reservations for DeNucci's Highland Park
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with DeNucci's Highland Park. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to DeNucci's Highland Park at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the DeNucci's Highland Park page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at DeNucci's Highland Park to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at DeNucci's Highland Park!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
