Our food had great flavor however the lasagna was a bit cold in the center. We also order chicken parmigiana it came with veggies and mashed potatoes and it was perfect. The garlic bread was tasty and fresh. The customer service was also great our waitress friendly and checked on us throughout our meal. We were a bit skeptical when we first walked in since it was only 1 other family dining. It was a Sunday in an industrial area but I can imagine they are busy Monday through Fridays. And they have DJ nights on Friday and Saturdays!

Il Saggio Italian is the sort of restaurant that deserves far more recognition. I visited on a Saturday evening, and to my surprise, the place was almost empty! I genuinely hope that changes soon because this place offers exceptional quality of food. My friends and I started with the Margarita pizza. Although it may seem like a basic dish, the freshness of the ingredients and the crispy crust were a delight. For the main course, the spaghetti frutti di mare was amazing. It had tender pieces of fish, shrimp, Manila clams, mussels, and calamari simmered in a savory red sauce.

It was really good! Defiantly the perfect meal while on a 24 hour shift. I had the lasagna and a strawberry lemonade. Both were amazing. And the service was amazing.

Last minute find thanks to Yelp. We were leaving a graduation and we were all hungry we needed a spot that wasn't small and quaint, we needed space, it was 10 of us. We all like Italian so we went for it. Pulled up and it's a big place that I have no idea how I missed before or heard of. Our server was great, patient, thorough with our order and everything came out as we ordered it. I ordered lobster ravioli - not on the menu it was a special:) pink sauce was delicious! The pasta capellini was tasty, I heard the lasagna was bomb and the complimentary warm garlic bread they served at the beginning was also fire! Will be back. I'm bummed I didn't take pics. Next time, promise!

This is a homely restaurant tugged away in a quiet corner (at least on it was not busy when we showed up at 11am sharp on a Saturday morning). The parking lot has ample slots. The staff was friendly and greeted us with smiles, which is always great. The waitress quickly brought out the complementary garlic bread with olive oil and black vinegar. The interior resembled much of the older style Spanish/Italian decor, was quite a cozy atmosphere. We ordered the seafood spaghetti, veal shank, and bbq chicken pizza. The pasta came out piping hot with a generous amount of seafood including shrimps, salmon, clams, mussels, and squid. The sauce was very very mildly spiced which I love. The waitress added grated Parmesan to it and it was perfect. The veal shank was super, fall-off-the-bone tender. It was accompanied by broccoli, carrots, and mashed potato. The sauce was sort of like a mix of mushroom sauce and tomato sauce (kind of like ragu but better). Portion was plenty. The thin crusted bbq chicken pizza was delightfully cheesy, especially with the added grated Parmesan. Flavor was good as well. We finished off the meal with a crème brûlée and a flan. The crème brûlée was smooth and the charred sugar topping was always fun to tap on. Yet the flan won my heart more. I'd flan plenty of time but usually they were either too soft (watery) or too hard. The flan here has the most perfect texture. It was sturdy but not too hard, and the silky smoothness on the tongue was lovely for the palate. Although the syrup was a tad too sweet but the texture of the flan itself was just wonderful. Finally, pricing was fair and portion size was not bad at all. Highly recommend!

Our dining experience at this Italian restaurant was nothing short of exquisite. Every plate we ordered delivered a burst of delightful flavors, from the heavenly pizza to the savory lasagna. The culinary expertise showcased in each dish truly made it a taste of heaven. Not only did the food impress, but the restaurant itself was impeccably clean, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The staff was incredibly nice and friendly, adding a personal touch to our visit. Their hospitality enhanced the overall enjoyment of our meal. We will be returning soon!

This place is interesting! When we first walked in, we thought we were in the wrong place because the inside looks like a Mexican restaurant that turns into a dance club at night. It is NOT that, but the ambiance does not exude Italian vibes aside from some photos of Italy. The server who helped us appeared to be the only waitress, and she did a phenomenal job. They also have one of those robot waiters, theirs is a kitty named Bella! I loved it! We ordered a caprese salad, fettucine alfredo, and a BBQ chicken pizza. The caprese salad was the best part! It was served with salad greens and no basil, but it was delicious. The pasta was also good. The bbq chicken was good, but the crust was too thin for the toppings. There was a lot of cheese on that pizza. This wasn't a bad find for the city of Commerce!
