50 Best Italian Restaurants near Crestwood

“My husband and I have been there several times. Unfortunately this Friday I was disappointed in our meals. I ordered the spaghetti seemed like the pasta was a touch overcooked and the marinara sauce was very bland. My husband’s chicken parmesan was huge but the chicken had no flavor other than the crispy breading. Love the Special salad and the pizza! We will come back, everyone has a bad day unless you have a different cook! Sadly dissatisfied, Joan Batzel“

“The only thing I recommend is that the cooks need to learn how to cut a pizza and know what 1/2 cheese and /2 sausage is because we had order a me pizza 1/2 1/2 and only got 8 slices of cheese and rest is sausage and they didn’t even r do anything about it except give me $5 coupon but there not much because how am I supposed to feed 3 people who only eats cheese and there’s only 8 slices“

“Back tonight for meatballs and cheese ravioli. Yum.. staff very good. .
ok.. it's Thursday night. FIVE STAR. Staff at front counter was really nice. Food still yummy. We like the pizza but prefer the meatballs and cheese ravioli.“

“Been wanting to try this place and it did not disappoint. Service was great and waiting time isn’t long, I would definitely recommend the Italian beef combo, and the Mexican grilled chicken sandwich if you’re looking for something more spicy. Overall fantastic experience and I highly recommend coming to Tony’s.“

“I have loved this place my whole life! Best pizza on the south side!“

We spent another anniversary with them (we live a few blocks away and dine and take out often, but still our go to for special occasions) This time, we were treated to a full dessert of Cannoli Dip to celebrate! We'll done my friends! I'll post a photo of our dessert. Last time I did that, I have received over 80K views of the tiramisu!“

“This is a hidden gem.

The Italian sub was very delicious along with the meatball sub.

If you haven't been to Jullianni's Puzza, you are missing out.

Staff is very friendly.“

“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.“

“Love the atmosphere, the food and drinks...always awesome, however I recently find the professionalism of the staff to be lacking and what's with the dress code or should I say lack there of? Its not a sports bar...a bartender dressed in a Hawaiian Shirt with pineapples says I'm on the beach with Tome Cruise in the movie "Cocktail". Not what people expect to see in Balagios.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything was delicious and the service was outstanding.“

“oh my goodness I found this pizza by chance at my local Meijer. Hands down best frozen pizza or any take and bake. The sausage was delightful and the Cheese was The Cheesiest ever it actually did the cheese stretch. Great Job it doesn't deserve the Bottom shelf“

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

“Came here last night (2-23-25) a couple hours before close. We had a group of about 10 of us. The food quality is whats expected when you go to Olive Garden. Im writing this review specifically to speak on how great the service was. I believe our waiters name was Nick M (at least according to the receipt) and he was fantastic - especially for us being a big-ish group coming in a bit late in the night. Nick was attentive, courteous, funny, and kind. He checked up on us and didn't forget a single item for anyone or make a single mistake! He was also overall very kind, which our table needed as we have been going through a rough time. Thank you, Nick, for your great service and spreading your kindness to some folks that really needed it 1000/10! You're a rockstar!“

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

“I had ordered the sausage & Italian beef slices with fries and I had a great conversation with the man up front while I waited. I was satisfied with the slices I received and the fresh fries that were made from me. Overall great experience?.“

“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 !“

“EXCELLENT FOOD! Great service“

“Had Rosati's cater a shower this week end. The food was on point. The delivery person was great. It was on time all fresh. Thank you !!“

“Everything was perfect. Friday night date with my wife. She is Italian. First place we have ever dined at that reminded her of home. I ordered chicken Parm. She had shrimp special. Conolia to take home. So much food. Amazing atmosphere including top notch service. I promise to take her back to have ravioli and meatballs.“

“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!“

“It was a very positive experience beginning with the classic gin martini I ordered. Our server arrived with a chilled glass, a frosty shaker, and an olive and a lemon twist, as I requested. He proceeded to shake and pour, let it rest for a moment and then pour again. Ahhh...what a delicious beginning to a delicious meal with friends. I did not expect that kind of bar service at this moderately priced family-type restaurant. Very surprisingly enjoyable!“

“Italian cooking. …outdoor music as well.“

“Delicious food,one of my fav places to eat.Food is made fresh and they don’t take a long time to make it.Staff is friendly and always tries to accommodate.I wish they had an outdoor area to eat.That would take this location to the next level.Other than that,10/10 EVERY TIME.Also,check out Homeslice Pizza next door!
Side note:I typically place a To-go order.“
