“I recently had the pleasure of ordering delivery from Barraco's Pizza, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! From start to finish, my experience with their pizza left me craving for more. Firstly, the delivery service was prompt and efficient. The pizza arrived at my doorstep piping hot, thanks to the careful packaging that ensured it remained fresh and intact during transit. Kudos to Barraco's for their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction. Let's talk about the star of the show. We ordered the thin crust pizza with pineapple, jalapeño, and sausage. Oh boy, was it a mouthwatering delight! The combination of these unique toppings created a symphony of flavors that danced on my palate with every bite. The first thing that caught my attention was the crispy yet tender thin crust, just the right amount of cheese, perfectly melted and golden brown. Which acted as the perfect canvas for the medley of ingredients. The addition of pineapple added a subtle touch of sweetness, perfectly complementing the savory sausage. But what truly elevated this pizza to a whole new level was the jalapeño. Its mild heat and tangy undertones provided a tantalizing kick, balancing out the flavors and giving the pizza an exciting twist. The harmonious blend of sweet, spicy, and savory was a taste sensation like no other. My experience was outstanding. The delivery was prompt, the pizza was packed with so much flavor and the combination of pineapple, jalapeño, and sausage on the thin crust was a delectable masterpiece. I highly recommend giving this unique combination a must try, it will undoubtedly leave you craving for more. Whether you're a pizza enthusiast or someone looking for a unique flavor adventure, Barraco's Pizza is the place to go. I will definitely be ordering from them again, and I encourage others to do the same.“
“Nonna's serves the best deal on a slice of pizza in the city. You get two giant slices for under $6. The crust is thick, and the ingredients are worth the money. If you want a good slice at a cheap price and you enjoy variety, then Nonna's is for you. Their stuffed pizza is a gooey, salty, tomato saucy delight. They provide shakers of red pepper, parmesan cheese, and oregano.“
“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 enjoyed a lovely meal with delicious food and great service. Joe was our server and was very knowledgeable and attentive. The baked clams were exceptional and the raw oysters were so good! We had several appetizers and each ordered a meal. Zero complaints from us! The pork chop with Marsala mushrooms was amazing! Well done Vinny's, we'll be back!“
“We were warmly greeted by Chelsea when we arrived. We were seated at a cozy table toward the back of the restaurant. Frank Sinatra music was playing in the background. Our waitress Melissa brought us water to the table with the days specials. There is a good wine & cocktail selection. We started with the shrimp & calamari along with truffle fries for an appetizer. The shrimp & calamari were cooked perfectly while seasoned with the right amount of oil and garlic. The truffle fries garlic aoli sauce was very good, not overpowering. For dinner, we had chicken parmesan served with penne pasta as the side. The portion size was big. The chicken was cooked well, not overloaded with sauce and the right amount of cheese. The other dish order was the risotto of the day, shrimp & grape tomato. Highly recommend the risotto. It was cooked perfectly with big delicious shrimp mixed in with the risotto. As delicious as it was, room was being saved for dessert. Not many restaurants serve flourless chocolate cake, but Frankie's 1988 does. It is served with a carmel sauce, pecans, and vanilla gelato. I have had many flourless chocolate cakes in my life, and none compare to the one made at Frankie's. It is dense, almost like dark chocolate fudge that just melts in your mouth. They also have canolis, tirimisu, and an assortment of gelato. The staff was so nice, checking on us throughout our dinner, ensuring we were never out of water. Frankie introduced himself to us as we were leaving. We had to tell him how amazing the risotto was today. Frankie said that their kitchen is a scratch kitchen and will gladly make items not on the menu if the kitchen has the ingredients. Frankie's 1988 is a 5 Star restaurant nestled in a strip mall in Tinley Park.Dietary restrictions: Many gluten-free and vegetarian options are available.“
“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.“
“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.“
“I’ve been going to Ottimo’s for several years now. Loved the restaurant but The quality and overall experience has been changing. The quality of the food isn’t there so much, the portions have gotten a bit smaller and there are always new servers, that need more training. Not sure if there’s new owners or mgmt but definitely a change. A couple years ago I would’ve given Ottimos a 5/5 but now it’s about half of that as a rating. Last night went for dinner with the family- the bread that was brought to the table was more like croutons because it was over cooked and somewhat hard, it should have never been served. We asked for more bread and the server came back to the table and said not much longer it’s coming out of the oven now. 10mins later he came to the table and asked if we needed anything I mentioned the bread and he said if yeah let me check. The server asst came to refill water and asked if we needed more bread m, I said yes please. Well after all that the bread never came. The O/O on the table tasted stale, or maybe a cheaper brand than normally served. One ordered the walleye special in lemon butter sauce, the sauce was a dark color tasted a bit burnt, very expensive for the size of the piece that was served and served with nothing else. Usually served with risotto- can suggest a side of pasta or even a side salad. Was not worth it. We ordered bruschetta- was bland, and again whom ever was cooking the bread toasted this bread to a crostini. Was very excited when Ottimos opened, loved that it was very close to traditional Italian food, and local (without having to drive to the City to Little Italy)! But sadly I do not feel the same so much lately. Bring back the way you use to be when first opened! Would love to visit that again!“
“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.“
“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“
“I have a hard time with Italian joints because I've grown up with home made from my italian family. This one however, is amazing. I don't think I've had a bad meal here. Baked clams were nice and clean with no sand, the calamari was cooked perfectly and not chewy, the garbage salad is HUUGE and amazing. My favorite dish is the chicken milano which used to be a special only, however if you knew about it, they would make it. Glad to see it's permanent on the menu now. If you want italian food, this is pretty much the best around you find. Thanks guys!“
“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 ?“
“My son and his family brought a huge box of your mouthwatering items to me here in Wisconsin. I was born and raised in Chicago so I was use to good Italian food and I really missed it until I received yours. It was THE BEST SURPRISE EVER. AMAZING. Thank you.?❤️“
“One of my favorite restaurants in the South Suburbs for excellent Italian food. Always consistent and delicious with plenty of choices for everyone on the menu. The specials always peak my interest and Toni, my favorite server describes them perfectly! Her description of the wines always has me trying out something perfect for my meal. I had read a previous bad review due to a television with Fox news on the TV! I do not go there for the television and LOVE the atmosphere, EXCELLENT food and great service! Love this place and I will keep going back..“
“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 .“
“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!!!“
“Omg this was our first time there Saturday and this pizza is so delicious ?. We ordered the thin crust chicken sausage and Jalapeno's. The pizza barely made it home!! Seasoned well nice crispy thin crust. Reminds me of Italian fiesta pizza. We will definitely be back. It's take out only. But if you wanna eat and watch the game it's connected to a cool bar. We had a couple drinks while waiting for our pizza. 9/10“

We thought perfect for a 10+ person party when there was a bunch of other dishes for the party.... but then we get it.... HUGE!!! Really like a super wide 3 footer to feed more than we intended! Huge!!!! And... so good! Definitely a do again!“

“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.“
“Both the food and service here were excellent! We sat in the banquet hall and had a small range of food brought out. It was all very good. The sausage and potatoes were phenomenal, and the red sauce on the pasta was some of the best I've ever had. Would definitely revisit this restaurant.“
“The two slices & soda deal for $7 is perfect, its filling & actually tastes good . There’s not many places anymore that offer good food for a cheap price but that deal is definitely good quality pizza for a cheap budget . One slice is pretty filling on its own, the dough is really thick so it can definitely feed two people if you need it to . 2 slices for one person tho & trust me, you’re full for hours . Amazing deal, great quality pizza slices, I will definitely be ordering more often .“
“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!“
“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 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!“
“Came here for anniversary dinner. Food was impeccable, service was great as well. Place was full and noise level was what a good Italian restaurant should sound like. Ted gave us a small bottle of his limoncello for our anniversary which was a very nice gesture.. we will be back soon.“
“I have been coming to Palermo's for 30 years. The food is always good. Large portion sizes. I had my wedding reception there and would recommend it to anyone. The Sicilian Style Grill Shrimp is the best dish. It has a unique flavor.“
“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!“
“Went Saturday night for pizza. It's was amazing. The dough was homemade. Paper thin crust that is their specialty. The sauce is homemade. The cheese is rich. The place is run by a nice,hard-working Italian couple.Had a cold MillerLite. Doesn't get much better than this. PS The chicken parm is outstanding.“
“JOE'S-A TRUE MOM+POP RESTAURANT! I am a purist when it comes to pizza. Cracker thin crust w/ mild homemade sauce + Italian sausage, top it w/ith a generous heap of mozzarella cheese, then cook it well done in an old school pizza oven. Walla - I present to you the most delicious thin crust pizza you will ever taste. Joe's Villa offers other fare but their pizza is my go to. And a large 14" pizza is under $20. If Reenie is your server, tell her Youraverage Gourmet says hello!“
“I have been going there for 30 years everything I have tried over the years has been great! The pizza sauce is sweet so it's not for everyone but I highly recommend it.Frank the owner is one of the nicest down to earth guys you will ever meet. The atmosphere is old school but comfortable.“
“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 pizza is really good! Moving forward I will not order anything else from here. Their mozzarella cheese is not good in their appetizers or the god mother sandwich. The sandwich felt like it was just a chicken tender in the bread with the mozzarella cheese.“
“Our favorite neighborhood “joint” for excellent Italian cuisine. First time trying the chop salad and was not disappointed, but if you are not a fan of olives, tell them to hold off. The only issue is it gets loud and you sometimes have to speak loud to be heard at your table. Otherwise enjoy!! Oh and by the way if you are hungry, order the chicken Parmesan - HUGE portion.“
“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.“
“You have to come here asap. This pizza screams south side thin. The owner is a very nice man and truly cares about the community while taking great pride in his food. I live in Hometown just a mile away. So I have a unlimited great choices very close. Hands down, of the best.“
“Wow! My husband and I decided to get the jalapeno Mac n cheese as a appetizer, it is sooooo good i love all those green onions, it was the perfect amount of everything! Not too spicy either, spinach manocotti was perfect with the right amount of sauce to last every bite! Skipped dessert til later...but we reserved a whole homemade banana cream to go, Every visit I make sure to take it home! Thank you for another delicious meal and excellent service!Vegetarian options: Spinach manocotti, pastas marinara, fried zucchini and mushrooms, salads, eggplant Parmigiana“
“The employees have been friendly every time I've gone! If u want a GREAT Buffalo chicken salad at a GREAT price......UH HUH!!!!$11.01 with tax!!CAN NOT get a fresher, customized salad ANYWHERE else for this price!!***THEY HAVE RED ONION!!! ?“
“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.“
“Wife had spinach and egg fettuccine and said it lacked flavor. I had the veal piccata which was very good. I'd order that again for sure. We split a small Caesar salad which was very good as well. Excellent service and reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere.“
“I was looking for a place that serves good pasta dishes, and I found it: Joey's Pizzeria.The chicken limone is to die for! They give you plenty of food (2 breast cutlets), which comes with salad, garlic bread, your choice of pasta, and potatoes. I had a hard time finishing all that food, but I couldn't stop. That's how good it was! Plenty of flavor and seasoning, my palate did a dance with each bite! Reasonably priced, too!Can't wait to try the pizza.“
“Pizza was delish!!!! Thin crust was very thin but tasty! The only thing I would have liked to have seen was double the toppings but I understand due to inflation it’s probably not cost effective. Fries were fantastic too! Fresh and warm even by the time I arrived home from pickup. They also sell these cookies at the counter triple chocolate which were amazing! Will definitely return…5 stars! Staff were super friendly and place was clean.“
“I'm so happy that Villa Rosa reopened up, for years all we ever ordered from was Villa Rosa, for ourselves and whenever we had parties and everyone would comment on how good the pizza is and where it's from. We just recently ordered a pizza and it was just as good if not better then ever, once again, we are so happy Villa Rosa is back in business.“
“Hidden gem. I have passed this place forever. Never thought twice about it. Finally went in. No fancy decor. Meal was very good. Really enjoyed the pizza. Service was very good. Looked at other reviews and they complained about the time it took to get the pizza. It isays right on the menu pizza will take 45 minutes. It's pan pizza, it takes time. Will be back.“
