50 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!!!“

“Best restaurant in Chicago ! ❤️“

“Frankie's since 1988 is hands-down, the best restaurant in the southwest Chicago suburbs. My son and I went for my birthday and there was no place I would rather go. The decor is trendy yet elegant and I really enjoyed the music that was playing. Service was quick and friendly. The signature Frankie's old-fashioned was amazing! Although the lasagna is my absolute favorite, I like to try the chef specials whenever possible, especially the seasonal ones. We had the pumpkin lasagna and the butternut squash risotto with crumbled Italian sausage.... Both were amazing! Whether it's your 20th time back or your first time here, the staff and the owner will make you feel like Family. This is truly a gem in the south suburbs. If you're reading this review to see if you want to go to Frankie‘s, don't hesitate... Just make the reservation...You won't be disappointed.“

“Fabulous food and service! Bill the bartender is the best, and the owner could not be any nicer or more accommodating. ❤️“

“Finally got to try an Italian beef sandwich, and it didn't disappoint.
Huge sandwich at a decent price. I barely had time to put my credit card back in my wallet that my order was ready 🤪.
The beef is juicy and delicious. I also liked the hot peppers. I had mine with extra american cheese but it didn't really add much, the beef speaks for itself.“

“We chose Ottimo to host our daughter’s bridal shower. Everything exceeded our expectations ! When we arrived we were greeted by Danny. He confirmed all of our choices for the day and was there for any questions that arose. Food was served hot and everyone was raving about how good it was. I would highly recommend hosting an event there.“

“I owe the Jullianni's family an apology. I've been ordering here since 2009 when I moved to Palos and the food is always great. I always get delivery and the food is always hot, on time, and delicious. On top of that, their prices are extremely resonable, especially in today's economy. I should gave given this place a 5 star review 15 years ago. Restaurants like this are rare these days. The Palos community is very fortunate to have a local place like Jullianni's“

“An excellent local restaurant for Italian dining in the south side of Chicago. The minestrone soup is excellent. Chopped salad is a favorite of my wife. Any of the veal or chicken dishes with Limon or marsala are also excellent. Service was perfect. Would highly recommend“

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.“

“Hosted a small dinner with family after a baptism and had a great time! The food was absolutely delicious, service was excellent, and the ambiance was very nice. We were seated in a semi-private area by the fireplace and had a dedicated cake and gift table supplied. The nearby bar was a nice feature too as it was Bears Sunday. Our menu consisted of minestrone soup, hot fresh bread, tossed salad, fried chicken, mostacolli bolognese, sausage and peppers, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and ice cream. The deal was unbeatable! Definitely will be coming again and possibly even catering bigger parties from there in the future. Thanks for a great party! All the guests very much enjoyed as well!“

“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“

“This place was awesome for airport food! The service was outstanding!

I had a one hour layover in midway, and my gate was in another concourse. I felt like it was a small gamble to eat there and make it across the airport in time. But the service was simply top-notch!

The food was good too! The chicken tenders felt like Costco chicken tenders, but they were prepared well. The best part? The chicken wings! Order that appetizer because you won't regret it! The wings were huge for chicken wings! Everyone one had a good deal of meat on them. Really impresses that those giant wings were hiding in an airport.“

“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.“

“This was my Family’s first time here, and we celebrated Thanksgiving. Jessica was our waitress. She did an excellent job and service to 9 of us. We also thanked her for coming in on a Holiday, with a great attitude. The food was delicious and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Thanks to the hostess who gave us a warm welcome.“

“Amazing food! Had the Buffalo chicken pizza and it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend 💯“

“We came here as a large group of 15 and the staff did a great job setting up tables outdoors quickly to accommodate us. The pizza itself was very good, and we all enjoyed the food. Our server seemed fairly new but was really putting in the effort, which we appreciated.

The only downside was that someone nearby was smoking, which took away from the experience since we had a pregnant guest and four very young children with us. The Smoke-Free Illinois Act applies to all outdoor eating and drinking areas, making it illegal to smoke there if employees are present to serve food which they were. The staff did not enforce this law which we felt they should have. We hope management can train their staff on this issue and that the staff enforce it.

All in all it was a good outing and the place has a lot of potential for families and groups.“

“Great food and wonderful service. Marge is so warm and friendly. For a lunch buffet a very pleasant experience. Will be back soon“

“Delicious food. A throw back to early Chicago pizzerias. Well maintained facilities. Great friendly service. Reasonable prices. Often overlooked when compared to other traditional pizzerias with commercial advertisement but Palermo’s holds its own against the best.“

“Great food decent prices will definitely be back!!♥️“

“EXCELLENT FOOD! Great service“

“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 !“

“The young man, Erik, who waited on me was so very polite. its a rarity ro find someone as polite and easy going as he was. based on his great attitude alone the place gets 5 stars.“

“Kind of a sports bar in one area, and good quiet dining areas. I was impressed with Holly our server, she was attentive and made sure our drinks and food came with a smile and an assurance that it was exactly what we ordered.
I had a Manhattan and a steak sandwich with vegetables.“

“food was ready when i arrived staff greated me as soon as i walked in the employee on duty ( female ) did a great job even though it was the end of her shift seeing as staff switched shifts as soon as i arrived great service and food was exactly as i ordered this is the best location in chicagoland“

“Amazing staff, amazing food. 🤌“

“I absolutely love this Olive Garden location! The highlight of my visit was our amazing waitress – she was outstanding. Even though the restaurant was busy, she took such great care of us, made sure we had everything we needed, and even brought a kids’ menu for my child with so much patience. She truly made our dining experience special and enjoyable.

After the meal, she surprised us with delicious green mint chocolates, which my child loved so much that they asked to come back again next time. I’m certain this will become one of my favorite restaurants. The only downside is that it’s a 30-minute drive from my home, but it’s totally worth it. The food is delicious and affordable, the atmosphere is warm and comfortable, and every visit leaves me in a great mood. Highly recommend!“
