Il Vicolo Trattoria

About

Il Vicolo Trattoria is a family-run Neapolitan Italian restaurant at 116 N Oak Park Ave, across from Scoville Park in Oak Park. Co-owner Frank Russo has run the place since 2011. The kitchen makes pastas in-house and hand-tosses pizzas in the Naples style, with seafood and meat entrees, a full bar and a wine list built on Tuscan and Umbrian reds. Lobster ravioli gets the most mentions from OpenTable diners. There is a patio out back, and the restaurant caters.
