After serving over 50,000 delivery orders from our Arlington Heights location, we've learned exactly which Italian dishes maintain their quality during transport and which ones lose their magic. This comprehensive guide shares our family's insider knowledge to help you enjoy restaurant-quality Italian food in the comfort of your home.

Ordering Italian food delivery shouldn't be a gamble. Whether you're in Arlington Heights, Mount Prospect, or anywhere in the northwest Chicago suburbs, knowing which dishes travel well can make the difference between a disappointing meal and a fantastic dining experience at home. As a family-run Italian restaurant that's been perfecting our delivery service for over a decade, we're sharing the secrets our kitchen staff have learned about which dishes hold up best during transport.

Rigatoni and Penne with Robust Sauces Tube-shaped pastas like rigatoni and penne are the champions of delivery. Their shape holds sauce beautifully, and their sturdy texture doesn't become mushy during transport. At our Arlington Heights restaurant, our Rigatoni Vodka is our most-ordered delivery item for good reason—the creamy tomato-based vodka sauce clings to the pasta tubes, and the dish actually tastes even better after the flavors have had time to meld during the drive to your home.
