"Courageous has come through for us so many times, and their food is always delicious. It was definitely time to share this gem with everyone who might not know about it yet. The atmosphere inside is warm and inviting. The staff are understanding and incredibly patient, and the food is genuinely great. The pancakes are incredibly fluffy and definitely worth the trip or a delivery if you're in the mood for brunch fare, along with some other options, plus desserts and coffee or tea drinks. You absolutely have to try those pancakes!"

I had the most incredible breakfast bowl at this fantastic restaurant! The ambiance was delightful, the view from the windows was breathtaking, and the staff was friendly and upbeat. It was delicious!

As an out-of-town visitor (though I used to live in Oak Park), I wanted to try something local. I'm so glad I chose Courageous! The service was quick and friendly, and the food was delicious, satisfying, and worth every penny!

I recently returned this past weekend, and I was blown away. The breakfast was fantastic, and the chilaquiles were exceptional. I didn't expect that, since they are primarily known for their pastries. I highly recommend this place! View menu

The food was delicious, featuring signature breakfast options with eggs. They were flexible with menu modifications, and the bread was outstanding, reminiscent of homemade bread from Cochabamba. The coffee was really good as well. The server was genuinely friendly, and our breakfast arrived quickly. However, the highlight of the experience was definitely the attractive person sitting across the table from me.

"Italian restaurant in Elmwood Park, that's been around for decades. Good food , nice ambience and good service! The Italian bread and dip( parmesan cheese mixed with olive oil and a little pepper flakes) are goooood! For appetizers I started with 1/2 dozen Baked Clams- Whole littleneck clams on the half shell, topped with seasoned breadcrumbs, fresh herbs, garlic, , they were on the smaller side which I assume maybe because they're not in season- they were ok, I'll pass on these next time then I also ordered the Pasta Fagioli soup, which is Cannellini beans, small tubular pasta, and plum tomatoes in a light savory tomato broth with garlic and olive oil, very GOOD! You must try this !! Annnnnd I also ordered the Caprese Salad-thick sliced tomatoes, bocconcini cheese, and fresh basil drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar You can never go wrong with a caprese salad and here it's very good too So for dinner I chose the Rigatoni pasta with crumbled spicy sausage, tomato, and marjoram in a creamy sauce topped with parmesan. And let me tell you, this was a winner for me! my dinner partner ordered the Salmon Lemon Butter W/Spinach- Salmon fillet in a lemon butter sauce, served with sauted spinach.. omg this was SOOO good. A must to order it you like good Salmon !! To finish we ordered the in house made canoli- which was good too but the winner had to be the Lemon sorbet... nice and refreshning after a great meal! They just recently started opening for breakfast so I'll definately be coming back to try that out and give a review of that in the near future! Buon Appetito !!"
