About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
Greco's of Willow Springs, established in 1990 by Carmalee Greco Kipnis and Michele Greco, is an offshoot of the original Greco's - an Evergreen Park institution. We offer a varied menu of Italian specialties and other entrees that have long been a staple of the Greco family. The restaurant is divided into three quaint rooms - each one having its own charm. The fireplace room has windows facing the woods as well as a beautiful fireplace. Other options are the cozily lit bar area and the main dining room with its seasonal displays.

    We have been to Grecos numerous times over the past 20 years. Not frequent diners, but it was on our list of good places to go to. I honestly have no idea what has changed since we we last there. Our meal was horrible! The calamari appetizer had a bad aftertaste- I assumed they needed to clean their fryer. The dressing on the salads was SO sweet it was hard to eat. Then I got one of the specials- a Haddock with orzo. The orzo came SWIMMING in what appeared and tasted to be a sweet chili sauce. I would have needed a slotted spoon to drain the sauce and actually get orzo (and it seemed like rice not orzo, but who knows, it was inedible). The breaded fish was soggy, and there was SO much soggy breading. The kids got spaghetti and meatballs because you can’t go wrong with spaghetti and meatballs right? Wrong. The sauce was super sweet and had an overwhelming anise flavor. You either like anise or hate it. We are haters. The meatballs were dry. My husband had the pork chop and enjoyed it, but that was the ONLY good thing about the meal. Waitress had a cough and kept coughing, not into her elbow, but just into the air. While taking our orders, while putting our salads into bowls table side... hello influenza! Waitress also didn’t ask if there was something wrong with my meal since it was obvious I didn’t eat anything but the fish after picking off the breading. I definitely was waiting to give my opinion on it. It was crazy how bad this experience was. Can’t believe we spent $140 on a meal that I would have been angry to spend $40 on. Last time for Grecos. Big thumbs down down down.

    Great food! Order one of the specials though that was very good but over priced! The waitress didn’t inform me of the price. I would have because the price was way out of line.

    Wait staff was very inattentive. Eggplant parmigiana was bland and mushy.

    This restaurant is billed "fine dining" but the decorating, the cheap "cafeteria-like" utensils, plastic cups and mediocre food say otherwise. Disappointing in all respects...........

    First time in your restaurant and considering the holidays with it being busy, our food and drinks were excellent. Loved the atmosphere, quiet and warm. Staff did an excellent job with busy atmosphere. We will be back. Thank you for a nice evening.
