Café popolari a Des Plaines

Love this place! Been multiple times. Food is consistently great. Very accommodating as one of our group had a sprained ankle so they relocated us to upstairs (who knew there was an elevator!) where we had a bigger table with room for a spare chair to elevate an injured leg. Minor complaint that about an hour into our meal the “Musak” was cranked up to the point that everyone in the room (including staff) had to literally yell to be sort of heard.

So happy we found this place! Every dish was well thought-out and the service impeccable.

One of the best meals we’ve had in a LONG time. Went with a couple friends and got to order/try so many things. We had the veggie pupusa, Brazilian cheese bread bites, burger and empanadas. For drinks, the guys tried the cacao old fashioned, which they raved over. I got the blackchata (two of them actually) and loved it so much. The service was wonderful, and the design/vibe was on point. 10/10 would recommend and we will be back!
