Tina's Italian Bake Shop - Gurnee

Love Tinas! Her salads are plenty and fresh. Your food is how Mom would do it while you sit a child in the kitchen waiting for lunch.

Best little lunch. We've been in pain in the Tinas bakery for years and never had a bad meal now. Tina is the wealthy hostess and always accessible to its customers. The food is much better than standard Italian with a few surprises. Among her best rank the punkin ravioli and chicken salad. At the top of my list as a desert, her bread pudding and Tiramitsu is wonderful. Thanks tina for years of foodie pleasure.

What a gem! The food is great andso homemade. Give it a try!

Great original dinner. The dishes here are unique and wonderfully delicious. I am not usually a person who swallows over salad, and salad green with fruit are not something I usually go well together, especially with a fruity dressing, but Tina's raspberry salad was wonderful from this world. Everything else I ordered is just as delicious. The menu had different elements on it every time I was there. There are always one or two things like chicken or tuna salad, but the sandwiches and salads vary from day to day for a lot of variety. My only wish is that the restaurant and the tables were bigger. It feels very cramped and is so popular that there is always a lot.

A little Italian cafe run by a little Italian lady by the name of, well, Tina. Holds perhaps 35 people and that's about how many are there at any given time. But service is fast and food is good so it's worth any wait. Try the roasted red pepper soup and salad with berry ! dressing. Buy Tina's home made bread before you leave.
