“Absolutely the best Italian Beef sandwich on the south side, arguably the best in Chicago. The home made Giardiniera is also very good, with the perfect amount of heat. The sandwich is huge and the price is very good. Wish they had fresh cut fries. People working there are always nice. Small place, not a lot of seating, but has the old school Chicago vibe that I like. I live an hour away, but if I'm in the area I always stop in for a bite.“

“In 2017, I picked up my older brother at Midway to come home to the funeral of our youngest brother that committed suicide at 23 yers old. We swung over to Vito and Nick's to get a pizza and talk. It was our first time there. We ended up telling the waitress the situation because we had both been crying. Next thing we know, the kitchen had par-baked like 8 large pizzas of all types, and gave us a hand-written note giving us condolences and instructions on how to finish baking the pizzas. They said they wanted to make sure my family was well-fed in our time of tragedy ❤ And the pizza is INCREDIBLE ❤ SPECIAL, SPECIAL PLACE“

“I come from an Italian family so love the food, but put Gatto’s up there as one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever been to!!! I had the chicken Milano and my partner had the carbonara and both were fabulous!! Great job on the meal, our waiter was amazing, he remembered all our drinks which were also delicious, and the whole night was a great one! Wish we didn’t live so far away or we would partake in your restaurant weekly!!!“

“Stopping by this bar on a drizzly weekday was alright. The drink I had was fine, though not particularly memorable. Service was efficient enough for what it was. It’s a perfectly acceptable option if you're looking for a quick drink in the area.“

“We found this place completely by accident, and we’re so happy we did! 😍 We were actually planning to eat at the Mexican restaurant next door, but this spot caught our attention and we decided to try it and what a great choice it was! 🍝 Monday pasta night was an amazing surprise: order one pasta dish and get another one free! 🙌 We both ordered the tortellini, and every bite was delicious. His came with creamy Alfredo sauce and meatballs, while mine was served with vodka sauce and sausage both dishes were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. 🤤 The food, atmosphere, and service were all wonderful. Huge thanks to Barb for being so friendly and making our visit even more special! ❤ We’ll definitely be coming back again. 10/10 experience! ⭐“

“Amazing food and hospitality“

“If ever there was a place which resonates the Billy Joel song “Scenes from an Italian restaurant “ This place is IT! Visited for the first time on 2/14/26. The aroma as we entered was so inviting. Met the owners/ daughter and mom. So very sweet and funny too. Our server was Candy. She was working very hard on a busy Valentine’s Day. I had the lasagna and I can honestly say it was the best lasagna I’ve ever had in my life! The ricotta filling was so whipped and light. It was just delightful and so delicious. The bomba ice cream was scrumptious! Cannot wait to return to this gem of a restaurant!! 🇮🇹“

“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.“

“Amazing staff, amazing food. 🤌“

“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.“

“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 !“

“I was born and raised in Chicago. Thin crust tavern style pizza is my go to! I moved to Indiana and miss good Chicago pizza. I had Bartolini s shipped via Goldbelly last week. I am BLOWN AWAY!!! This is the absolute best pizza I have had since I left Chicago!!!! Next time I am back in the area you better believe I will be there!!!!“

“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.“

“The staff weren't that nice, the food didn't live up the the Barraco's name, but it wasn't a terrible experience. If the staff didn't hand us smudged glasses and forks with food stains, had been more like waiters who entertain guests rather than serve food, and a pizza that seemed not to be baked well and had a grainy crust, it would be five star dinning I experience. I had no real problem here, but it hadn't lived up the name.“

“5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I used to get this pizza when I was growing up in Orland Park. It's still an amazing pizza and the (owner?) who I've interacted with a couple times recently has been incredibly inviting when you enter his business, super friendly. That's great but like I said, the pizza is outstanding! I love supporting the small guy. If you haven't given them a try, do it. You won't be disappointed! If I still lived in Orland Park this would be my go to every time! Plus I got to catch the Bears interception play on their TV today when I was grabbing my pizza. 🐻 ⬇️“

“1st time being here and everything was A+! We came in and sat at the bar while our food was being freshly made. Awesome and Friendly staff! Enjoyed a little bit of the game on tv and had some cheese fries while we waited with our drinks. I definitely want to go back and try more on the menu! Brought the pizzas home to 4 teenagers and they devoured them in minutes. Lol Thanks so much for nice little “date” night while we waited. 🍕“

“We went for the stuffed peppers and an old school sausage pizza accompanied by antipasto salad! So pleased especially the pizza served hot out of the oven with quality ingredients! It's been awhile since I was there and still consistent! Thank you“

“Had a wonderful brunch at Olive Garden with my daughter today! ❤ The food was great, but what truly made our visit special was the outstanding customer service.

A huge thank you to our wonderful server, Sandra, who was so kind, attentive, and genuinely sweet throughout our meal. We also want to recognize Zaid at the front desk, whose warm welcome and friendly attitude made our experience even better from the moment we walked in.

Excellent customer service like yours makes all the difference. Thank you both for making our brunch so enjoyable—we truly appreciate you!“
