“We hosted a birthday party at Sam’s recently, and it was a great experience! Gino, Joe and their staff were very easy to work with, accommodating and professional. The room was ready to go when we arrived for set up and Gino was very attentive through the duration of the party by checking on us, ensuring we had enough food and drinks, clearing plates, etc. If you are looking to host an event, we highly recommend doing it at Sam’s. Overall, great experience and the guests all agreed!“
“Lino's is everything you could ask for and more with a restaurant experience. The food is always phenomenal. The service is top-notch and extremely friendly. It has an old-world Italian vibe that makes it even more authentic. Always one of my favorite places to visit.“
“The building and the flooring aren't impressive, but the smell of those ovens when you walk in is enthralling. The service was really great, and the food was amazing. We had the Tuscan fries, the brucheta, a BBQ chicken pizza, a chicken bacon ranch pizza, a Margherita pizza, a loaded potato pizza, a salad, a creme brulee, 808 cheesecake, and a chocolate Gelato. We'll definitely be heading back again.“
“I was there really to pick up an Uber Eats order so I asked about the order (if it was ready). I noticed on the order they had a cherry cheesecake so I asked if I could also get one. I grabbed it and went on my way..This cheesecake was so much more than I expected... and I didn't know that was possible. It was so smooth and creamy and the taste was just so good, not full of sugar either. Just a clean, really great flavor of original cheesecake...... then there's the cherry sauce they put over the cheesecake. It's so delicious that it's unreal. By looking at it I was hoping there was enough on it to enjoy the whole piece, I was very unsure about this but to my suprise, it was enough to last the entire piece! And what a serving size it is! It's definitely not small! And all that greatness for under $7, HOW AMAZING! I will be telling everyone I know about this cheesecake!And also... the employees here are so nice and polite, a definite great place to do business with.I will update with a picture when I get the next one. They are gorgeous. ?“
“1st time to John's tonight 3/24/24 had the lasagna and manicotti and 2 meatballs. Oh and toasted ravioli delicious!!!!!Also pit her is Sangria 28$ good price.... Food was amazing JoJean super nice!!!! Will be back in the near future....“
“I ordered from them for the first time last night & I'm really upset that I didn't know about them sooner! We moved here in 2018 and it took THIS LONG?! I'm italian. Grew up on homemade Italian food. This place is AMAZING. the sauce gave me flashbacks to my Great grandma's. I had a little nostalgic moment with the first bite which, in my opinion, is the best compliment you can ever give a resturant. The canoli's still tasted great the next day. Not soggy like you find with previously frozen ones. My daughters birthday is coming up and I already have the menu picked out for what I want catered from them. Walking in there felt like home. It's a friendly warm environment. This will definitely be my families go to & I couldn't recommend them more. ???“
“We ordered ahead 3 medium pizzas. A meat lovers, a cheese and a pepperoni. This was SO GOOD and the husband and I are huge pizza connoisseurs . I'm pretty sure my baby is made of 95% pizza lol. The service was fast and friendly. When we got there we loved how it looked like a mom and pop place. They had the football game going so we didn't miss out on our game! Thank you for being such a clean place. Will definitely be ordering again from here“
“When my brother passed away unexpectedly a couple of weeks ago, we found ourselves scrambling to find a location able to accommodate the large number of people who wanted to help us honor and celebrate his life. Until one of his good friends told us, we had no idea that his favorite restaurant also had lovely banquet facilities. How perfect it turned out to be.On short notice, Sal and crew did a fabulous job helping us plan the event, and accommodating a large and grieving crowd coming together to remember my brother. We were in excellent and caring hands.And beyond all that -- The food was fantastic. I totally see why my brother loved the place :)“

“I really appreciate having a Lino’s close to me (on Riverside)! Iv’e ordered a few times and each time the food was perfect~Prepared to my specifications and delicious. The “servers” who bring it to the car are so friendly and conscientious about your order. Excellent customer service still exists. Since I was in my car the “atmosphere” was just fine lol“
“I'm a young Rockford native on a mission to find the best pizza in Rockford. For my experiment, I'll be getting a plain cheese pizza from every place to be unbiased.Primo's has been one of my favorite places I have tried so far. The cheese was very tasty and the herbs on top really helped the pizza shine. The crust was a bit crunchy on the exterior and soft on the interior, very good for those who prefer harder crust. The sauce was excellent, a good balance of zesty and sweet, the sweetness really helped the pizza stand out among the others.Overall, Primo's is a very solid pick for pizza, and at 12$ for a Large pizza, easy on the pockets.“
“Catered a surprise baby shower for our boss at work. Placing the order was a breeze, they deliver as well which was nice for us. The driver was on time and communication was clear when he arrived. Wings we ordered were a HIT! The food over all was great, we’ll definitely order again in the future.“
“We had Salmone’s cater our small wedding this past September. From beginning to end, I cannot recommend them enough. Brieanna especially was super helpful and a joy to work with. We built a small menu and everyone couldn’t stop talking about how delicious it was. Specifically the mostaccioli and party pizza. We had eaten at Salamone’s as a family a handful of times before, but it was so special to have them be a part of our wedding day. Thank you to Salamone’s North Team!!“
“The pizza pub is smaller than what it looks like from the outside. Which isn't a bad thing. It is nice and cozy there. The bar is full, the waitresses is nice and friendly, and the music was great! When I went there, they didn't play any of the modern stuff that most places do.The pizza on the other hand was pretty good. I enjoyed it quite a bit with my amazing girlfriend. The medium pepperoni pizza hit the spot and was just right for two people.I would definitely get a pizza from there again.“
“Hands down best pizza I've ever had. I've traveled most pizza places in the USA and even outside the country but Giordanos is the best. If you think otherwise then you're kidding yourself.Keep in mind that 2 14" pizzas are enough to feed 12 people. Remember that and don't make the same mistakes I did!!! It was a tod of pizza!Parking: Not many spots during the busy times, I'd go before or after the busiest times for the best parkingKid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and such. Nothing notably different from other restaurants.Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is wheelchair accessible.“
“The food was so good that I forgot to take pictures of it. I would highly recommend this restaurant! The only downfall like most breakfast places in Rockford/Loves Park area is that they close at 2 p.m. They probably would have an excellent croud if they were open in the evening.“
“We have catered our our Christmas dinner for 30 people for the last 2 years from this Rosati's location and are extremely happy with the food they prepare. It is absolutely delicious, always hot and ready for pickup when it should be. Papa the chef prepares the best food. All our guests complimented on how great the food was. always a great deal for you money. We highly recommend them for catering, carry out or dine in! Thank you for another fantastic Christmas dinner!“
“I'm a young Rockford native trying to find the best pizza in Rockford and for my experiment, I'll be using the most unbiased option possible: a plain cheese pizza.The sauce was pretty standard, a nice balance of zesty and sweet, neither overpowering the other. I'm picky about my pizza crust, but the crust was pretty good. It was firm on the outside but not too hard or crunchy, and soft on the inside but not too doughy. The cheese was my favorite part of the pizza, it was the perfect amount of cheese and very tasty. Slightly greasy, but not more than you would usually expect.Service was good, quick, and polite. The atmosphere was homey and comfy.Overall, the pizza was very delicious and a very solid option, especially considering the price, this is one of the cheapest pizza places in Rockford. My 21 month old toddler normally doesn't care for pizza, but he ate a whole slice, Giuseppe's passed the picky toddler test?.Will definitely be back again in the future.“
“Great pizza! They offer gluten free option for pizza and the crust is crispy. Very accommodating for non-dairy option too (get the spaghetti sauce instead of pizza sauce which has a little cheese in it). Really nice folks and delicious pizza“
“Wine Meiomi and Malvasia dolce Brooklyn was amazing recommend the mal!Bread at the table- French bread with a delicious olive oil dressingLamb loli very tender flavorful the sweet notes with very delightfulGrilled squid - first bite not fishy if you’re a texture person it might be a bit strange but absolutely delicious sauce accompanied it’s amazing has a mustard zing to it but ends a bit burntChicken parm- very cheesy fresh chicken crispy, pastaWagyu brussels sprouts- crunchy outer layer with a sour note. Meat- medium rare so flavorful wish we got medium instead but so good and sides go so well with it.Wrap up- solid 8/10“
“Great pizza great service,from Chicago love thin crust. Told owner would like to try in future I took menu coming out valley produce owner Frank caught me in parking lot a gave me a meatball to try was great. Recently I ordered tray of meatballs 4 large thin crust, Thank you Frank for the kind hospitality. Will order again. I personally don't like these reviews unless positive. My feelings are if you aren't satisfied don't go back. Some times employees have bad days also. DON'T BE A RAT!!!!THANK YOU NAPOLIS“
“Excellent stuffed pizza. I was expecting stuffed crust, but it is a double crusted pizza. The flavor was great, and I loved the cheese. I wished I had weighed the slices. Loaded. I was full before finishing two slices.Ordered half sausage. Only thing I would change is to ask them to mark which slices had sausage.“
“While visiting my friend and her grandchildren in Freeport traveling from Chicago, our plans were to visit Rockford and have lunch. Googled the top pizza restaurants and Doug Bros was noted. Reviews were excellent and decided to go yesterday and was so happy we made the decision to try this pizza. The sausage pizza was absolutely delicious!!!!!! Would highly recommend this restaurant to family and friends! The wait staff was very friendly too!“
“Here is near our home in old hometown what we missed while we were away. This is it, this is what we are looking for as we travel about. Sicilian flare in the Italian Restaurants. The Best! You know my reviews are hardly necessary. You natives who live in this wonderful hometown, yes you already know what's number one and best. This review is for those of us traveling through who need to go where the service is awesome. The food is relational to our hometowns. Most of all where the feeling of at home satisfies you. Enjoy.“
