Rigatoni very good, classy presentation with white tablecloths, waitress Marianna charming and attentive- her smile was evident even with her face mask.
Always delicious and outside eating with floral arrangements was very nice. Waitress awesome ??
Excellent service! Food was near the top I have ever had!
Our experience was very positive! The only negative was that only one salad dressing was available. never been at a restaurant where only one kind of salad dressing was available
My husband and I love going to My Way. The food is excellent & the staff & owner treat their customers like royalty!! Great atmosphere also!! All around an awesome place to dine!!
Great owner... great people... truly nice atmosphere... and, OMG, THE FOOD!!!
PLEASANT ATMOSPHERE, GREAT FRIENDLY WAITRESS AND OF COURSE WONDERFUL FOOD. THE WHITE FISH IS OUTSTANDING.
We went on a Saturday night at 5:00 and had great service. I had the Pappardelle Portofino. It was excellent. My husband had the filet. He loved it. It was done medium, exactly what he asked. Our waitress was great. She recommended an excellent wine. The restaurant was cozy and warm. We will definitely be back.

All of our food was very good, and our waitress Nicole was excellent!!
waitresses always forget things. Forgot to bring salad, coffee. Good food but Slow service.
My husband had stuffed chicken breast - excellent. I had seafood rissoto, also excellent.
It's a small place but I thought it was charming. The waitress was phenomenal and we couldn't have asked for better service. And the food was so good! I really enjoyed my dish (My Way Ravioli). My wife and I were happy with our dinner date. We will definitely go back!
Disappointed that they were smoking outside and we could smell the smoke in the restaurant. Owner of restaurant would go in and out. He was asked to close the door but on occasion would forget to close it when he went in and out.
Delicious meal in lovely environment with excellent service.
The food is very good. The owner is there and greets us every time! The atmosphere is nice. Sat outside.
The food never disappoints us. Our waitress was delightful and helpful.

Ordered chicken limone but sauce tasted like chicken stock only. It was cooked well though. No sides came with dinner, the bread seemed old. Seemed understaffed as a couple of the waitresses were running like crazy and it wasn’t even really busy. The chocolate soufflé seemed like it was microwaved
Appetizers amazing. Entrees were just ok, lacked flavor. But wait staff unpleasant with poor attitudes. This can ruin an experience! Get a job somewhere else
Excellent service Our meals were tasty and nicely prepared.
Flo and Martina are 2 of the best waitress you'll ever have.
It took a long time for the food to come out and the waitress and very indifferent

Flo was our waitress. She was wonderful. Very attentive, considering the wait staff does everything from bartending to cleaning tables.

Very pleasant experience. Staff makes you feel like family.
Server basically ignored us the entire evening. Never once were we asked if our meal was good or if we had any concerns or needs. The owner was rude and very pushy, seemed that if you were a regular he would welcome you with a handshake or hug buy if you were a newcomer he had no time for you. our service was slow yet regulars had several visits to their table by the server and owner.
Dinners are rather expensive. Appetizers are small.

Small, intimate space. Service was great. Food was delicious.
My Way staff is friendly and accommodating. The food is excellent. The chicken primavera is magnificent and the eggplant parmigiana is luscious.
My favorite restaurant. I even go there by myself..
The atmosphere was very pleasant. The menu had a good variety and wasn't overpriced. The wine was expensive but good.

Owner should have said thank you for coming, he did not acknowledge us.

I like that is a small restuarant, but it is always noisy, but worth it The food is always wonderful, but tonights stuffed shells was the best ever. My husband always enjoys the veal part. The food is fabulous. I only wish it was a more quiet restaurant.
Anna attentive and pleasant. Cozy environment. Never feel rushed.
fantastic first time experience! 2 outdoor cafes, front and back, super quality italian fare, had best ravioli in lifetime: crab ravioli in rich, delicious creamy garlic sauce with 6 jumbo shrimps for $20, AMAZING! Great service from educated and caring server, and delicious martini's, and a incredible cannoli pudding cream dessert item, called a cannoli martini..only mild complaint is all desserts are $10, otherwise specialty drink martini's a reasonable $10 for most, best two were the lemonchello and washington apple martini for sweet martini's, and got to meet owner/mgr while eating. and could not be happier..will be back regularly even though 30 minute drive
Wonderful food, reasonable prices, and great service.
They ran out of fresh Mozzarella cheese for a dish I ordered.
The appetizer "Banana Peppers and Sausage" was great. Salad Ok. White fish, their speciality was just ok. Had that before and comparing -- this time is was not cooked completely.
Food is delicious, Restaurant is extremely clean & cozy
Lovely restaurant, nice music, friendly staff, delicious food.
Pretty space, nice atmosphere, very good food, good service
Great ambiance, great food and service, quaint feel to this cozy restaurant. A definite must!
Restaurant was not crowded. Very relaxing. Food came out at a nice pace. Food was very good.
Martina our waitress is always very helpful with suggestions. she always has a pleasant demeanor and is very attentive. Ted the owner always comes around to greet us and be sure everything is as it should be.
Intimate dining with great food and great waitress
Casual Italian flair atmosphere with excellent food quality. Owner is very involved at the restaurant - he is walking around and helping the servers in any way he can. He engages with the customers and very appreciative of first time customers. Servers were very friendly and provided great service.
Walked in the last hour of being open,they did not rush us,food was perfect, service was excellent.
My husband thought the sole was excellent. I always have veal marsala because it is excellent. This time it was just a bit chewy which is unusual. I feel this was just a tougher cut of meat so I am still rating the quality of food excellent.
This is a great meeting for friends coming from all directions and offers a relaxing opportunity to catch up while having a great meal.
My husband and I both had the flounder special with crab stuffing. It was delicious.
We had reservations and it seemed like we were rushed a bit. Bread plate was taken away, with bread still on it, before we were done. Very loud & difficult to carry on a conversation or even hear the server.
Halibut Special was good, but there fish was overcooked.
The food was excellent. Liked the old Italian music in the background. Outdoor dining was available.
Food is good, pork chop was outstanding. It's loud and crowded - tables close together. We live only a couple of miles away but have only eaten here 3 times. All 3 times we've had negative experiences with or about the owner. He is very disrespectful to his employees. Yelling at them doesn't make the dining experience worth the $ you pay to eat here. It's like everybody is running scared of the owner.
We enjoyed drinks for a long time before we ordered and they let us take out time. We felt welcome, well cared for and the food was delicious.
This is a great quiet little place. They welcome Restaurant.com and have no special rules. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. The owner is usually there and always comes by to say thank you.
Good and service were awesome but the overall experience was marred by the rude behavior of the owner
Service was excellent and leisurely just like we love it.
This was the first time one of my sons was with us. he loved ,it and is bringing his family the next time.
Great food would come here again.
The food is always very good.
The food was wonderful and the waitress was very helpful. She took really good care of us.
The food we ordered was excellent in its presentation, flavor and quantity. By far they make the best eggplant parmigiana in the area and their appetizer Artichoke Francese is a must!
Delicious food, great service, nice ambiance, nice wine list. You can actually have a conversation w/o shouting. A wonderful dining experience on the south side which sorely needs more places like My Way. This was a 1st time for my friend who is now going to take her boyfriend here for his birthday.
Best Italian cuisine... The details to flavor are not missed.. Everything from apps to soup to salad and entree were delicious!!! Was on a time budget so we didn't have dessert.. but the owner sent us over delicious Lemin chello.... love this place!!!!
Nice small town restaurant. Had octopus as an appetizer, very small portion for price but taste good. Server was helpful in her recommendations as some entree did not come with sides, only soup or salad. Overall, food and service was good.
Excellent food and service. Great selection of offerings and specials.
Very nice restaurant with friendly personable staff. Food is very tasty & wine is excellent. I always opt for one the specials. Cozy environment for date night.
Service was excellent and food was great.
Love this place!
We called at the last minute and they were able to give us a table after a 3 minute wait. The restaurant was very busy and the owner and staff were amazing.
Love the ambiance of My Way. Enjoy it each time I go
This is a great spot for a nice quiet dinner. The food is excellent, the service attentive. The owner is always there and makes sure that everything is done right.
Octopus was WAY overdone and very bland. My mussels with linguini was acceptable, but mussels were cold?? Second visit, and last.
Have been to My Way a number of times and have always enjoyed the friendlinsss of the waitresses. you are never rushed and can sit and enjoy a nice dinner.
everything was perfect food, service,host,A very nice night
Food was outstanding. Staff was on top of everything and very pleasant. Nice cozy, romantic ristorante!
Great sea bass special.

Nice setting, good service, good food.
Nice atmosphere; GREAT service; Good food! Will make it a 'special' dining place!

We all enjoyed our meal and mentioned we would return. Only negative our soup was not hot. Liked the ambience.
Good Food, Slow service
Food and service always great.
Best restaurant around! Never disappointed in anything we order. Great Chef & Waitresses?
The food is always great. I order one particular dish that is not on the menu but they make it for me. It is always delicious. I will return.

Nice ambiance Good food Outdoor dining
Our waitress was simply the best. Courteous, informative, very accommodating and friendly. Food was excellent. An enjoyable dining experience. Looking forward to visiting this place again.
A nice, small charming restaurant with very good Italian food.
Considering that we had reservations and the dining room was mot full,, we were given a table by the owner that was not satisfactory, even though we complained about it. Food was excellent.
Alway great food
We are always happy with the food and service here. Never had a bad experience.
A first class meal every time! Great martinis. Accommodating kitchen and wait staff. Menu even invites diners to inquire about choices not shown, whereby they indicate their willingness to make an unlisted dish for you if they already have the ingredients.
great food and service
The proprietor is hands-on and welcomes you like he was having you over for dinner in his home. Servers are very professional and the food is truly divine. Downtown Chicago has nothing on this place!
It was extremely noisy.
GOOD FOOD GOOD SERVICE
GOOD FOOD GOOD SERVICE
Our annual Christmas get-together. There were five of us. Excellent service and ambionce. All agreed excellent food.
Owner rushed us out even though there were only six tables occupied and seven empty.
Their seafood specials are better than those in Florida. Flounder stuffed with crab meat today was out of this world. Kudos to the chef!
very friendly and quick service.
Loved the ambiance. Very cozy place.
The servers are fantastic! They are so personable; so sweet!
Great food and freindly attentive service. Will go back soon.
Love the food and service was great.
Very nice restaurant! Good food and drinks. Service excellent !
Exceptionally good food in a beautiful setting with outstanding service.
Big rip off was for sodas, they were small with lots of ice and no free refills, we paid $10 for $5 small sodas. With the price of the meal almost all restaurants serve additional glasses free of charge. The chicken dish came with only a soup or salad, a side dish was extra, come on for $20?
Service provided by Flo was excellent. Flo offered suggestions, anticipated needs, and returned to offer more water and coffee after the bill was paid.
Great gravy. Great salmon.
It was great staff was awesome
The food is fantastic, service very good and friendly
Food is always excellent the owner is only friendly to the people he knows best. In fact I would say he's rude to those he doesn't know well. Removed dishes almost the moment put utensil down; not finished eating. This occurred twice during meal.
my service unbeleiveable going back
We were being rushed so that another loud party standing next to us could get our table.
Excellent food and service. The wine was expensive for the area.
Great for date night or other special occasions & business lunch
I went to restaurant with my two nieces for a birthday celebration. So there were three women in our party. The owner sat us at a nice table. Then he came back five minutes later and asked us to move to the table next to the washrooms. There were plenty of other nicer tables available.
The Italian sauce for the lasagna and chicken Parmesan was excellent.
Our server was excellent and the food was delicious.

Awesome Service, Delicious Food and the Owner is very Friendly. Makes you feel like family.
Head server, Ted, a bit arrogant, not friendly. He may be owner?
When we arrived, even though we had reservations, there was quite a wait. The Manager was very apologetic and bought us a drink at the bar. He would continue to update us on the wait time.
all around great experience.
very good service
Meals are a little overpriced
Every meal has been some of the best Italian food I ever had, and I have eaten ina ton of Italian restaurant.

Quality and value of food were great. Service was efficient. A gentleman that seemed to be the owner or manager was observing flow and making sure guests were pleased. Overall a great experience.
Small, intimate Italian restaurant with excellent food and service!
All the food here is amazing.
I would have rated our experience as excellent but the smell of cigarette smoke was overpowering when we walked in and the owner was rather rude. Also, since there is only one dining room, it was rather loud.
Food and service were excellent!
Proprietor was very rude. Wanted us to eat quickly and leave. It was very busy. But no reason to be rude.
The owner was quite personable and helpful. The server was excellent. The food was GREAT. Overall this was a great experience. This was a birthday celebration that we all ENJOYED!!!
The waitresses are friendly and very helpful. It is very pretty on the inside. Easy to get to. They need to improve their wine list. The chardonnay was horrible. Step it up a bit.
Food was fantastic as usual.
Friendly, attentive and accommodating staff.
Nice atmosphere, owner very nice person,socialable
With reservations there was no waiting to be seated, the meals ordered were all excellent. We enjoyed conversation and did not feel rushed to leave after dinner. The Tiramisu was outstanding.
The food was exceptional! The service was also very good.
Food is always excellent the problem is they have on 2 visits rushed us even tho we were waiting for our desert. Actually asked us to hurry. Reason we have stopped going with other couples it can be embarrassing.
Staff/owner allows smoking in patio area. Not lawful and soured an otherwise nice evening.
Great food, great atmosphere......pricey thou
Dined outside. Service was good and unrushed
Food was good, slow service, and a bit priceyand always leary of restraurants that fail to price their specials.
Food and service was excellent!
Very noisy hard to hear our conversation, otherwise great
Crab cakes were sublime
