“Great home made Mexican food and pizza also,got calzone that think was so big feed it 3 people,tacos also fresh and delicious,service outstanding,every time we get there we get something new from owner to try it,just great friendly place with great food !!!!!!!!“
“The food is delicious and there's a lot of it for the price, I have several favorite dishes and the staff always stays busy being friendly and never forgetting to ask if your good. Its "a place" for me and my wife to go to when we know we're going to have a great meal.“
“I've been to Peanut Park twice! It was amazing both times. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. We had the focaccia (the ricotta reminds me of my trip to Italy *yum*), chicken parm, scallops, and more. My fave thing at Peanut Park is the tiramisu. The best!! We can't wait to go back.“
“I love this place! The chicken Marsala is incredible! We also had eggplant roll acting as an appetizer, linguine with clams,gnocchi and manicotti! All great and we all have dinner for tomorrow! Service is great and always like talking to the owner, who makes you feel like you are his personal guests! Only suggestion for improvement is to assign the waitstaff to one area! This happened last time too. The servers are running all over! Be a little kinder to them. They work so hard!“
“We’ve been to Marco’s a few times and have enjoyed our experiences. There is always a wide variety of thoughtfully prepared options to choose from in all categories, land and sea appetizers, entrees, several salads and desserts. Last night we had the bacon wrapped scallops appetizer which was delicious, the mahi mahi and shrimp with a delicious coconut based sauce. The strip steak was cooked perfectly and came with some lovely crisp veggies; unfortunately the steak was tough and almost stringy. The server asked if there was anything else I’d like which felt like the right thing to do. The servers are efficient but generally not warm and fuzzy. And the environment is very loud. Anyone with hearing issues wouldn’t be able to hear anyone else at their table without that person raising their voice considerably.“
“Was in the neighborhood and I stopped by. Italian beef sandwich is amazing. Loaded with beef. Only thing that happened was that I ordered an Italian combo and I got just a regular Italian beef. Giardiniera was not spicy at all and I do like spicy. Otherwise, will probably be back.Parking: There is a parking lot on the side of the building.“
“My husband and I came here for lunch and enjoyed the excellent service and food. The focaccia bread and olive oil with garlic and hummus was to die for and we were getting full before our meal came. We ordered mussels, salad, pasta and seafood risotto. Of course we had to take half of entrees home since we enjoyed the focaccia bread! I have been here before with my friends and ate outside on a Monday night over the summer and also had an excellent meal. We will definitely come back.“
“A friend told me about this neighborhood gem. I'm blown away by the friendly atmosphere and staff. If you're looking for something special and authentic this is the place to visit. Everything made in-house and freshly prepared with care and love“
“EXCELLENT DATE NIGHT SPOT!Stopped one night after a Blackhawks game. I was worried we were completely underdressed, It was obvious that it is a small neighborhood restaurant when the waitress asked if we'd ever been and said she didn't recognize us. The menu was amazing! The authentic Italian cuisine is very flavorful and the portions are perfect. We will definitely be back!“
“Chef! Don't ever take the short rib gnocchi off the menu! Great food and fresh pasta made daily , all served by a Fabulous wait staff! Many dedicated customers. Read these reviews! I didn't want to review because now it will be harder to get a table. They have an outdoor area in back when it's warmer.. so don't be deceived by it's size. Be sure to make a reservation! Enjoy a great dinner and drinks here and tip the staff well!Almost forgot...best calamari appetizer...Ever!Parking: Street parking not too bad. In the evening some surrounding businesses are closed. Besides, you'll probably want to walk off that cheesecake!“
“Thin crust crispy tavern style pizza!! I’ve had many pizzas and different styles, but this is the best I’ve had in a while. We had the pepperoni with hot gardenia peppers and for apps jalapeño poppers and sausage toasted ravioli. The pizzas are def made with love and had that PERFECT crisp bite!! Can’t wait to come back for some more and this place is CASH ONLY ??Kid-friendliness: High chairs for babies.“
“Went in for dinner with my daughters, and the ambiance was so friendly, being greeted when walking in. We did not have to wait long for a table for 5, we had the cod dinner, pizza, chicken tenders, and cheeseburger. The girls and I loved it. Can't believe we moved to Midlothian over a year ago and we just tried this place!! We sure have been missing out.“
“Amazing old school Italian deli. Their sandwiches are incredible, but their frozen pastas and sauces are very underrated. This is a great local spot that is very hard to find nowadays. You feel like you're walking into a different era when you come through here. One of the best local spots that Chicago has to offer.“
“This family owned business is such a warm and inviting place. The food was amazing, every bite was a burst of flavor. The portions are large so plan on getting more than one meal out of it. The prices are very reasonable and the owners make you feel like old friends. Highly recommend and I will be back.“
“True Italian cooking in a bar like setting, has a private side room away from the bar and outdoor seating weather permitting. Long time established bar that has been remodeled to make it more family friendly.Parking: Newly asphalt parking lot that can get full, but street parking is close by.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap spots right by entrance and no stairs inside.“
“Can’t lie it was funny how my order came about but the sweetest delivery lady was in my building and the smell alone was tantalizing. I asked where is that from?!! And next think you know we were eating ROSATI’S for dinner. Me and my wife loved it. And we appreciate how they got it to us and took the order even though they closed at 10. It was fresh and piping hot. Without all the expensive cost of Uber eats. Crust could’ve been a little crispier but I understand it was time to shut the ovens down!! Amazing service too“
“Our server, Tacho, is the best! He will give you a five star restaurant experience in the south suburbs of Chicago! And… our busser, Juan, is the hardest worker and kindest person! We love our experience everytime we come in. This is a family staple for us and our extended family.Kid-friendliness: This is our kids favorite restaurant! Believe it or not, restaurants CAN mess up “buttered noodles”….but not here! They nail it everytime and they always accommodate our request for crumbled sausage on top!“
“Discovered this gem last night. Wonderful Italian restaurant in a residential area not too far from Midway Airport. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. We parked in the lot and were seated right away. Wait staff were friendly and accommodating with good recommendations. I would love to go back.“
“My family has been coming to Francesca’s on 95th for years for gatherings and special occasions.All of the food is delicious; I particularly enjoy the vodka pasta with sausage (the paccheri alla vodka e salsiccia). They also have awesome appetizers and a variety of drink options.The atmosphere is great, and it works well for lunches or dinners.“
“Rustico's new space on Oak Park Ave. (in the old Oak Park Brewery) is incredible in terms of its aesthetics. Very open, high, exposed bow-tie roof trusses, reclaimed wood plank ceiling, a really cool floor (tinted concrete?), and exposed brick walls. Totally cool vibe indeed. Myself, my wife, and two 21 year old kids dined there 1.5 weeks ago and it was awesome. Upon arriving, we were seated immediately. All of the staff that helped us were great: fun, personable, and attentive. We ordered the seafood Paella, Carbonara, Fruitti Di Mare, and Braised Short Ribs. All seafood in the Paella and Fruitti Di Mare was cooked to perfection-nothing was the least bit rubbery and everything was quite savory. The Carbonara was so tasty and incredibly decadent (which, when ordering Carbonara, you almost expect!). The Braised short ribs that my son ordered were so good (based on his review), but unfortunately, decorum prohibits printing the words he used to describe his love of the dish herein. When the bill arrived, there was absolutely no sticker shock and in fact, my wife and I felt that the entrees were very reasonably priced (especially given their generous portions). I don't think that many diners leave this place hungry. Personally, I love Rustico as the food is awesome but the restaurant is anything but pretentious. We will most def be back soon! Jimmah!“
“enjoyed a wonderful dinner last night, started off with the mezza platter which i highly recommend followed by the most tender octopus ive ever had then thoroughly enjoyed the scallops which were exquisite and also ordered the chicken thighs with a unique taste of its own; i was visiting from out of town but its worth the drive and i highly recommend a visit“
“Love coming here. Great owner, great employees. Always friendly and helpful. Amazing deli too got great products at a good price. I get a sub here almost every week now and have never been disappointed! Try the meatballs they are fantastic!“
“5 stars for HECTOR in Western Springs!!!Hands down this was the absolute best dining experience I’ve ever had! While the food was delicious and the overall ambiance and decor of the restaurant was cozy, it was our server that made this dining experience over the top, great! HECTOR, you are a gem, a diamond! You have an absolutely charming personality and made my mother in law’s birthday dinner an experience to remember! From your spot on suggestions, to your lovely rendition of “Happy Birthday”, to the funny banter, our whole family left talking about how wonderful you were! We will be back and we will be sure to come when you are serving! Thank you Hector!!!“
“Aldolpho was our server and he did a great job. He was pleasant and accommodating. We had the chicken sausage and hot peppers pan pizza it was good. The BBQ wings were cooked to perfection. The staff sang happy birthday ? and was extremely enthusiastic. We had really good timeKid-friendliness: Extremely kid friendly take the whole family and enjoy some quality pizza and above average cocktails“
“This was my first visit to Victory and definitely not my last! Food and cocktails were delicious and our server, Orlando, was the NICEST person! Thanks to the manager who took care of me and my bestie. Wonderful ambiance and friendly staff!“
“Everything was amazing... great food ... we had the chicken parm w veggies and carbonara pasta... As an appetizer we had fried calamari ... and for desert a slice of teremesu ... the music the atmosphere Everything was perfect... both me and my gf left very happy...“
“This is a no nonsense Chicago spot. The signage was probably put up when my grandpa was a kid walking down Taylor street flipping a quarter. Anyway, the combo sandwich was excellent. I've been eating a lot of mediocre beef sandwiches lately and this place is worth checking out because their sandwich was outstanding“
“Traveling to Chicago and searched for a highly rated sandwich shop to try. This place did not disappoint. Easily one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely come back when I’m back in town.“
“I just got off the phone with Migele from the Evergreen Park store and had some issues with my order. I'm severely handicapped and asked for curbside pickup, and also a change to the order. Migele was very accommodating and did a great professional job. And my sister said that the pizza was very good. Thanks again Miguel ?“
“The Chicago styled pizza is amazing !!! I love the burnt styled cheese on it !! First time trying this place and I loved it !! I will definitely be back to try more pasta and ofcourse the pizza !! It is now one of my favorite places . I also got the Gnocchi which really showcases the sauce here ! The tomato soup was a great choice it had a lot of flavor and I’m glad if tryed it . My service was fast and great . Nice spacious place with a lot of booth seating .“
“JOSE was our Waiter last night his service was impeccable! Smiles, jokes, makes you laugh, he waited on our party of 8 for 2 Birthdays, my Son and Mom, our party had various meals and everyone enjoyed! Jose always came back asking if we needed anything else, always made sure we had enough refills on drinks and making sure food was great. The restaurant is beautiful. Jose mentioned a dessert that crossed my curiosity. It was a Basil Blueberry Cheesecake. Now you would think spicy, not at all, it was delicious when you incorporate that savory and sweet flavors it was truly amazing! When I forgot the cakes, Jose had a plan B and made the Birthdays just as special. Thank you for making our 1st a Great Time! Will Definitely be coming back!The only thing that was a little difficult was finding a place to park, but other than that we asked after getting in and they do have a garage you can get your ticket stamped. Call ahead for parking.Hoping in the future that your restaurant might consider Valet Parking.“
“A classic date night spot. Great drinks but even better food. The gnocci is phenomenal and always outstanding pizza options. The upstairs area is beautiful as well! Love it in the summer because they open the windows up and get to enjoy the outside.“
“Not only is their pizza delicious and on point but it is the best pizza in Clearing that actually cares about the neighborhood! I will always support them. You don’t find genuine owners that give back to their neighborhood!They just showed me an act of kindness that will forever keep my loyalty to them. Happy 4 years!!!“
“I enjoyed Vicolo Trattoria, the service was good, the ambiance was your basic Italian restaurant. They have a bar seating area and more tables in the back. They also have a large patio for seating outside in the summer that I can't wait to come back for. The food was great overall: we had the grilled calamari to start. It was just okay for me - I have had more flavorful grilled calamari before, but others may think the grilled calamari is great so it's really just personally preference. Entree: we had the lobster ravioli which was really tasty served in red sauce. Also tried the wrapped beef that my husband really liked. He asked for medium but it was probably prepared medium well - there wasn't much pink in it. Drinks: I am a margarita fan - tried the spicy pineapple margarita and it did not disappoint. It didn't taste too sweet and had the right amount of spice. Also tried the Mandarin dreamsicle - on the sweeter side and filling.“
“LoveLove love it!Whole family enjoy it.Grandma like it! OkSo.We love the original taste!I fully recommend this place.Service is great! The food came out just in time for all to enjoy.Dietary restrictions: Ask the Chef.Kid-friendliness: Got chair's.“
“Really good, cheap. Burgers used to be really good. Last couple of times I ordered the double burger the meat was really dry. I’m not sure what’s going on with that but the Italian beef and the fries are really good for a great price. ?“
“Stumbled onto this place on accident before tonight's Hinsdale C football game. Atmosphere was great. Pasta dishes were outstanding. Finally, for a downtown Hinsdale restaurant, the prices were really reasonable. Would drive from Naperville again for this dining experience.“
“The waiter and cook that were working there acted like they knew how to really treat people. And they did. This place has good food and staff that acts like they want it to succeed. They cared about us as customers and they have future restaurant owners written all over them.The low volume 50's music told me these people know what's up“
“I ordered a pizza, side of mushrooms and Caesar's salad. Overall, pizza was on the dry side. Crust was crispy and chewy. It could have had more toppings, but based on price point, I got what I paid for. Mushrooms were amazing and for the price, you get a lot. Caesar's salad? Don't waste your money. Doesn't look anything like the photo. Basically, lettuce with 10 small croutons. The parm cheese was from a can and not shaved. Definitely not worth $13. I would get another pizza from them, but would make my own salad.“
“What A Hidden JEM In Hinsdale, The Pies are utterly DEEELICOUS.. The service is amazing as well, and the owner Carmela is so sweet .. please support them with their authentic pizza's.. the cool thing about this place is you can take and bake these pizza's at home. they are fresh and so much better than any of these grocery store junk piesVegetarian options: they have vegan and gluten free options“
“One of us had an outstanding Manhattan and the other prosecco to start. Always enjoy the warm crusty bread that's a prelude. We split a Seafood Linguini which was excellent . Since it was Oak Park Restaurant Week we got a free dessert. We had warm apple tart with vanilla gelato which was also very fine.“
“Even though we had a reservation we still had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. It didn't help that 2 couples walked in and went to the bar in order to "jump" the line and 1 couple ended up being seated, that was unfair. It did also take the waitress a while to take our order. If it were not for my date and the fact that this was important to him and that I absolutely love Italian food, I would have opted to leave the restaurant. But we ended up staying and I had my first glass of wine ? ever and it turned out okay.“
“First time me and my daughter at Chicago, we definitely needed to try Giordano’s famous deep dish pizza, and the recommendations are true; Best pizza in town. We had a small Chicago classic. This will be my to-go spot for pizza each time I come.“
“Ordered the pasta special on Monday night, mostaccoli with meatballs - what a delight! Soda, salad and bread included - Good portions, Great value. Liz served us and was a delight! Wonderful start to the new week - can't wait to come back!“
“Old school Italian restaurant which is still serving great food. Everything was really good and we enjoyed our dinner. The chicken Parmesan was excellent. Great size portion. The Chianti was good and a generous pour. You should try it if you are in the area or make a special trip. It is worth it.“
“I went with my family today for the first time. My family really likes Italian food, and we noticed that this restaurant tastes like no other! We’ve tried new things and we really liked EVERYTHING. The people were friendly and the portions were very big. The desserts are delicious!“
“We have been fans of Italian Villa Pizza for years. We had out of town family come in and they requested Italian Villa Pizza. Our order was correct, it was ready exactly at the requested pick up time and of course, as always, was tasty and delicious. Our Pizza Friday Night was a success thanks to everyone at Italian Villa Pizza. Highly recommended.“
“We booked the Calabria food truck to cater my brother’s engagement party with 80 guests and everything was perfect! We served three different sandwiches plus the homemade chips. The food was delicious. Many of our guests have told us they’ve visited Calabria since the party because they needed to have their sandwiches again! The truck brought a great ambiance to the party too - they played music, had nice lighting, and had a large chalkboard sign with a congrats message to the couple. Julia on the Calabria team was great to work with and answered all of our questions. The on-site team was attentive and had wonderful service. All around an amazing experience!“
“This restaurant is very busy and loud so be prepared but hey it’s ??We started off with Baked Clams, fried calamari and they were both excellentDinners come with soup or saladMy hubby had the pork chop it is not on the menu so you have to ask for it. It is a very big portion and you will have leftovers.I had chicken marsala this time and it’s served over a bed of pasta. Very tasty and plenty of leftovers too. We were also served cake at the end without even askingI had a red sangria which was delicious and this is my choice over the wines. Get the red sangria is all i can sayThey also have gambling machines in the corner which we played and won so that was a plusIf you haven’t been here then i recommend you do.Service and staff are greatParking: There is a parking lot but it’s not very bigKid-friendliness: You can bring your kids hereWheelchair accessibility: There is accessibility“
“We came here for the first time tonight, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. The food was beyond delicious, the owners are really friendly, nice people.We will definitely be back.I'm happy to see a nice family owned restaurant in this area that cares about customer service. Thank you!“
