Horrible place. The only reason any of the restaurants in Chi MDW stay open is the whole airport sucks and hasnt changed or offered any legitimate food options in 20 years.So when you are here, you have no choice then to eat at one of these disgusting establishments and pay a fortune at the same time.There is literally no good places in this entire airport for food options - not sure why any of the big food chains arent available here? And no, DD’s is not a food restaurant.All the restaurants are bizarre places Ive never seen anywhere else (like - not outside of this airport, forget about other flying locations…..)

I can't believe how bad my grilled caprese panini was! The best part of my meal was the bagged popcorn. So sad because the locations in the City are terrific. Skip

Don't bother with this place.As usual, airport food is expensive so I won't talk about the outrageous rip off this was.Ordered coffee which was burned & quite possibly the worst coffee I've ever had. The egg & cheese sandwich was on a hard greesy hamburger bun. The cheese didn't have any actual flavor & the egg was a bit rubbery. My partner had the same except with bacon - he said it was basically flavorless also. I'm pretty sure my local gas station sandwiches would be considered 5 star in comparison.

Nothing is fresh. All pre-made. Pasta is dry and comes with corn oil not olive oil. Personal pizza taste like it's been sitting on the hot rack for hours.

There are much yummier options if you are in MDW. I ordered a ham and Swiss sandwich and it was cold and smaller than I expected. The staff was also rude.

With all the great pizza jn this city, this is what is served at the airport. It is an embarrassment even compared to the pizza served jn an 80s elementary school.

Everything is good here. Coffee, food and specially pastries all delicious. People are also very nice and attentive.

Well this was a waste of money. Wanted a caprese sandwich and this was the only location in the terminal that wasn't out of them. Premade, soggy, rubbery, cold mess. After spending some time peeling wrapper off the bun took two bites then pitched it. Only consolation is that it was less expensive than AWOL caprese sandwiches everywhere else so there was reduced buyer's remorse. Don't waste your money here.

The sausage pizza (Home Run Pizza) was very good, it was fresh, well cooked and delicious. I appreciated that it had a generous amount of cheese on it. It was expensive for a personal sized pizza but I guess that's to be expected inside of an airport. It's thin crust pizza so don't be expecting Chicago Deep Dish or pan pizza! They ran out of Coors Light so I got a Bud Light instead, also expensive. $12.99 for the pizza, $10.29 for the beer. If you have a long evening layover don't wait to get food. They were running out of things at 7:00 pm, and the bar next door already had a "no food" sign posted.

What was this. The workers were incredibly rude. One cranberry juice was five dollars. When I went up to order pizza she just said "there's no pizza...there's no pizza."

Made the mistake of going here before checking the reviews. My boyfriend and I both got food (1 very small pizza, 1 sub, 2 drinks and a yogurt parfait) and spent a total of $42. now I understand airport food is expensive, however, this was unacceptable for the quality of food we got. the pizza was cold. all of the pizzas served sat under a warmer that I'm pretty sure does not even work because it, really, was cold. Apparently they think it's okay to serve pizzas that they made four hours prior because that was the quality of the pizza I got. The sub was very overseasoned and not worth the $12. it was small too. I would recommend going absolutely anywhere else. Arriving at an airport already tired and hungry, expecting some warm comfort food and being met with this disappointment is not what you want to do.

Nasty pizza I ever had. No wonder that restaurant is not busy. Through the entire box away wasted my money.

I love L appetito but this one in particular is disgusting. The management need to be retired and put some qualified works to make the food fresh. My panini was soggy and old. If your paying $14.00 for a sandwich and water it should be at least decent.
