42 Best Italian Restaurants near Alsip

“Best pizza around. Been going there well over 35 years now and still just as good.“

“I ordered a medium, thin crust, sausage pizza. The pizza was ready earlier than estimated. The pizza was delicious, hot, and perfectly flavored. The sausage had fennel seeds in it. The sauce was mild and light. The only negative is the size of the pizza. The medium serves 16 square/triangle slices. The medium looks like a small.

The cashier was friendly and courteous. A person in the back, I assume was the owner, was courteous.

Parking: The restaurant is in a small strip mall area, so the lot is shared with other businesses. The main street is busy, but additional parking could be located in the area.“

“Place is 🔥! They have great customer service, and I would highly recommend this place to anybody. Especially if you’re looking for some good BBQ!!!“

“We dined at Bella Mia last night for my birthday…a few of our friends had spoke of Bella Mia very highly, so we wanted to check it out for ourselves. So good! Everything done to perfection. We could tell there were regulars seated all around us. The owner came to our table to ask us about everything as well. Our server was Demi & she was top notch.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Frankie’s, established in 1988, and I can confidently say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing meal.

One of the highlights of my visit was the outstanding service provided by Alex. From the moment we were seated, Alex was attentive and knowledgeable, ensuring that we had everything we needed. she took the time to recommend some of the restaurant's best dishes, which truly enhanced our dining experience. Her friendly demeanor and genuine passion for providing excellent service made us feel valued and welcomed.

The food at Frankie’s was equally impressive. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. It’s clear that they prioritize quality ingredients and preparation. The combination of delicious food and Alex’s amazing service made for a memorable evening.

Overall, I highly recommend Frankie’s for anyone looking for a delightful dining experience. With its rich history and commitment to excellence, it’s a place that will keep you coming back for more. Thank you, Alex, for making our visit so enjoyable!“

“Was perfect. Great wine great food. Great service. Will be back. Thank u.“

“Its been decades since I had a breaded steak sandwich. To give you perspective, last time I had a breaded steak sandwich was in early 1990s when there was a Ricobenes on Lake Street in The Loop, at street level, downstairs from a Nevada Bob’s. If you know about this, then you are Gen X!!

This place was recommended by a close friend and it was fantastic!!! It’s a solid 4.6⭐️s!!

From what I recall, this breaded steak sandwich is just about as tasty as I have had since Ricobenes. Tony’s is excellent and messy as I have expected. Its very filling and well worth the price.

Also tried their italian beef, which was very good indeed. Balanced spices and saltiness was all there!!! But I do have my favorites that I lean on when I really need a fixin!!! But this was very good nonetheless.

This neighborhood joint is small and has limited seating, but the friendly staff made the dine-in meal a pleasant experience, albeit a bit confined. Most patrons order take-away. Will try to make it out again next time I am in the Midway area.“

“I recommend everything it’s delicious & delightful service ❤️ I treated myself to dessert today. Can’t get top notch spumoni anywhere 😉“

“Love the atmosphere, the food and drinks...always awesome, however I recently find the professionalism of the staff to be lacking and what's with the dress code or should I say lack there of? Its not a sports bar...a bartender dressed in a Hawaiian Shirt with pineapples says I'm on the beach with Tome Cruise in the movie "Cocktail". Not what people expect to see in Balagios.“

“This is a hidden gem.

The Italian sub was very delicious along with the meatball sub.

If you haven't been to Jullianni's Puzza, you are missing out.

Staff is very friendly.“

“Morhgan is your the best!!“

“Our first visit very delishes food reminds me of the friends who lived in the Italian neighborhood here in Chicago. Thank you all! Ed & Peg“

“oh my goodness I found this pizza by chance at my local Meijer. Hands down best frozen pizza or any take and bake. The sausage was delightful and the Cheese was The Cheesiest ever it actually did the cheese stretch. Great Job it doesn't deserve the Bottom shelf“

“Have not been here in many years as we had moved to far west burbs. Coming back felt like "home". Service is excellent and professional. ..pasta very good. And of course, a full dining room on a wonderful Saturday evening. Everyone enjoying themselves. Palermos is an Italian dining institution in the Oak Lawn area.“

“Came here last night (2-23-25) a couple hours before close. We had a group of about 10 of us. The food quality is whats expected when you go to Olive Garden. Im writing this review specifically to speak on how great the service was. I believe our waiters name was Nick M (at least according to the receipt) and he was fantastic - especially for us being a big-ish group coming in a bit late in the night. Nick was attentive, courteous, funny, and kind. He checked up on us and didn't forget a single item for anyone or make a single mistake! He was also overall very kind, which our table needed as we have been going through a rough time. Thank you, Nick, for your great service and spreading your kindness to some folks that really needed it 1000/10! You're a rockstar!“

“Everything was delicious and the service was outstanding.“

“Waiter weren't very friendly and did not greet us with a hello. They just go straight into taking your order. The establishment may need to seek giving the waiters more assistance. They have to wait the tables, take order, run the bar, bust the tables and run the food. That is too much and jeopardize the overall experience for the customer.“

“I had ordered the sausage & Italian beef slices with fries and I had a great conversation with the man up front while I waited. I was satisfied with the slices I received and the fresh fries that were made from me. Overall great experience?.“

“Everything there runs better when MARY is working. She is friendly, efficient and seems to be able to multitask better than most employees at the Oak Lawn location. She’s the best !“

“Their pizza is delicious. My family loves pizza. We have tried many is the surrounding area and nothing compares to Guardi's. It has become a staple for take out in my house. Their service is great (I have never arrived and had to wait for my order) and the employees have always been extremely friendly and sufficient. It's worth giving them a try.“

“I had a catered event on October 2nd. The food was excellent!! Especially the Italian beef and Mac and cheese. Went to drop off stuff snd decided to have lunch since we were there. The Reuben was to die for!! As was the beef sandwich. We also loved the fries. Thank you Jim for making the food for our 30th anniversary party . I would highly recommend using them for all of your catering needs. And if you are in Thorton, pick up lunch. You won’t regret it.“

“We have used Don Monacos for 2 graduation parties now and will use them again. The food is amazing, the owners are the kindest people and the amount of food you get for the price is unbeatable. I HIGHLY recommend Don Monacos for any party or get together.“

“Everything was perfect. Friday night date with my wife. She is Italian. First place we have ever dined at that reminded her of home. I ordered chicken Parm. She had shrimp special. Conolia to take home. So much food. Amazing atmosphere including top notch service. I promise to take her back to have ravioli and meatballs.“

“We had a long layover at Midway and this was right by the gate we arrived at and we were hungry. I had the blackened tallgrass burger and my girlfriend had the fish and chips. My burger was cooked to perfection, thick and juicy. The fish and chips were excellent as well. Service was spot on, beers were ice cold and we really enjoyed our lunch. There are a few more places I wanted to try on that long layover, but I was already full ?“

“EXCELLENT FOOD! Great service“

“Amazing staff, amazing food. 🤌“

“Was there for a surprise birthday party. The chicken and beef was very good and the bartender made a fantastic Old Fashion!

Parking: Parking was a little ambiguous....there is a banquet hall next door with a parking lot between them and Barraco's. The lot isn't marked as to which establishment the parking is for. I parked on a side street.“

“delicious pizza end fast services the best pizza.“

“At this very moment I am eating chicken tenders with honey mustard dip and fries from here and it is super good. I love their chicken tenders because they're not overly crispy or hard and the flavor is perfect. The honey mustard dip is really good. The fries also are cooked perfectly and they are perfectly salted.
The other day I had a cheeseburger from here along with their seasoned fries and again it was spot on. I really love this place. The service is great. Everyone I've had communication with here has been very nice. The prices are very reasonable for such good food. Cannot wait to try more of their menu items.“
