Rich Labriola was born and raised on the East Side of Blue Island, which may seem like an unusual starting place for one of the nation's top artisan bakers and most successful bakery entrepreneurs.
But it was in Blue Island, in the home of his loving parents Dan and Sarah that Rich learned the truths that would guide him throughout his life: There are no shortcuts to great quality, no one else can live your dream for you, and delicious food can feed your soul.As a child, Rich would hide in the back seat of the car while his father drove to their family pizzeria so he could work side by side with his Dad making pizzas.

I just love this place!! They have great brick oven pizzas - and my favorite Italian bread salad. They have a full & I mean full case of the most delicious pastries oh! And fresh made gelato - although I must admit half the time we are too full & have doggie bags to take home! Love the fireplaces - it can get a bit noisy in there but.. it’s not too bad!!

The concept of fast casual is appealing for families with young children but this fits well for all. This experience provides a higher quality experience than your typical fast food with a wonderful variety of Italian cuisine. Service is prompt and friendly with ordering at the entrance and delivery to your table. To reuse a marketing term from my childhood, "try it, you'll like it".

Uber Eats delivered my order-fast and fresh. (20% tip for delivery- Thanks guys!) I tried this place for the first time and really enjoyed my experience. The Rotisserie chicken was seasoned and soft, served with Mac and Cheese, bread and salad. The two burgers were cooked to medium, side of fries and packaged nicely. I can’t wait to try the bakery next time!

I had a bad experience here. The only reason I’m giving this place three stars is because the manager took care of the situation. The chicken Marsala looked disgusting, I sent it back in for something else and waited 30 minutes for my salmon to come out. Finally I asked a server about it and he brought it out on a dirty plate which is disgusting as you can see & the salmon was all broken up. The cheese fries were also not it. The food here was not good 0/10. Would not recommend. Management was 10/10 though. Thank you for taking care of this situation.

Nice place and sweet employees!
we ordered:
tortellini alfredo - really delicious! the sauce was great
chicken parmesan - decent. the chicken was good but the pasta was just okay
arugula pizza - the pizza dough is outstanding! but the actual pizza just tasted like someone dumped a salad on a pizza. it wasn't bad but the combination of fresh cold arugula and a warm pizza just didn't make sense.
fries - they were decent, but too salty and they were kind of cold when we got them
overall a pretty good place. i wouldn't go out of my way to come here again but nice if you're in the area.

Wow! I will definitely return for the awesome treats at Labriola. I had the best strawberry smoothie today. Tonight I enjoyed my first ever macarons - the salted Carmel & the vanilla. They were amazing! They're soft, yummy, and they melt in your mouth.
Had the Raspberry bar tonight for my birthday dessert. It was full of flavor. So good!
The service was great. A new favorite spot for me.

Such a nice, warm environment. The bakery is filled with a plethora of goodies. The prices are a little steep, but the quality is there to make up for it. The service is exceptional. Highly recommend for a mid morning brunch, late evening treat, or whenever your heart & stomach desires something delicious. Located in Oak Brook off of Butterfield Rd. There are a lot of other restaurants and shops nearby and there is a lot of parking available.
