About the restaurant
Located just west of downtown Naperville, Mesón Sabika has been serving the community since 1990. Built in 1847, the pristine four-acre estate and beautiful mansion welcome you before you reach the driveway. Whether you dine in one of the mansion’s eight dining rooms decorated in traditional Spanish décor, attend a wedding or corporate event in the pavilion, or sit out back on the patio, the cuisine of Spain and delicious drinks make for an unparalleled dining experience.

For a quiet, romantic dining experience we recommend a week night reservation. The small mansion rooms fill up on the weekends, making for a more lively dining experience.

Our dress code is "proper casual/casual dressy." Gentlemen, we respectfully ask that you cover up your arms (no tank tops). And ladies, we ask that the majority of your midriff is covered (no bandeaux’s). We ask that everyone remove their baseball hats when dining inside the mansion.


Thank you!

We always really enjoy Kizuna for sushi and tonight was no different. We appreciated the recommendations from our server because we ate three plates we haven’t tried before.

Is a great time taking my mom there for Cinco de Mayo! The food, drinks, atmosphere and entertainment made it a great dining experience, especially when the mariachi band sang beautiful music! My mom loved it!

Open to the public yet offering the charm of a private country club, Reserve 22 takes its name from the 22 lakes that enhance our 240-acre golf course landscape, home to native vegetation and diverse wildlife—creating a dining experience where guests can savor the culinary creations of Chef Thomas Fota while enjoying the beauty of nature.

About the restaurant
Fiamme Pizzeria Napoletana pulls inspiration from the flames of its blazing hot pizza oven, producing exquisite Italian dishes influenced by the traditions of Naples. Our true star of the show is the new kid on the block Detroit, pan style pizza that takes your tastes buds on a trip to remember from the caramelized cheese crown to the cloud like crust. Far more spirited than the average pizzeria, Fiamme provides an excellent and unique selection of wines and craft beers to go along with its impassioned cuisine.In addition to offering imported ingredients to ensure the most authentic Italian dishes, you will also find dairy-free and gluten-free options to meet the needs of any guest. Baked at 900 to 1000 degrees in an oak-fired brick oven, this pizza is sure to please anyone who loves a good slice. Make your next night out a special experience with a trip to Fiamme Pizzeria Napoletana in Naperville, Illinois.
