“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.“

“EXCELLENT FOOD! Great service“

“I've been coming to Rosati’s Pizza in Matteson for over 6 years now, and they’ve never disappointed. The food is consistently delicious — from the perfectly crispy thick crust pizzas to the hearty pastas and sandwiches, everything is always fresh and flavorful. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the quality has remained solid over the years. Whether I’m picking up or getting delivery, I can always count on Rosati’s to hit the spot. Definitely one of my go-to places in the area!“

“Love their pizza, amazing ranch, wings, wraps, and sandwiches. Philly is one of my favs!!“

“Great food and excellent service!“

“Let me first off by saying that I never ever leave reviews but I felt like today I needed to leave one I decided to bring my father in for Father's Day we were introduced by our server once and then never saw the server again for about 30 minutes I'm not blaming it on her because I'm sure she was quite busy there was a young man who was going by all the tables refilling drinks and giving them bags at this point I wanted to speak to a manager I did ask him he did say that his manager was currently busy if there was anything he could do I said all we wanted was our drinks refilled he refilled our drinks all the way to the end there was no need for me to speak to a manager again because he made sure that the rest of our visit was very pleasant his personality is amazing hopefully the managers know I will be coming back I don't blame the restaurants but he did make my dad smile and laugh and that's really what brought a warm feeling to my heart today the young man's name tag said ' SHAWN ' someone please let him know that he is the sweetest funniest young man that I have met in a long time and thank you for all of his hard work pleasing our table he's a gem!“

“buffet was 15 dollars no bread salad bar was bare min. not worth it! who doesn't put cheese on their salad?!? and no deserts!“

“The friendly environment of Matteson Location.. makes me nostalgic for their old location .. but Good people are still there.“

“My experience, at Pop's Italian Beef Restaurant, has all ways been a pleasant one. The food there is very delicious and homemade fresh. We bought our your grand twins there, at the time they were 6yrs. old, a few years ago, and they still ask about coming back. The staff treated them so well and were so impressed with their young mannerisms, and said to us, to bring them back at anytime. Yesterday, was our first time back, since we'd brought them 2years ago, and still, it was a great experience.“

“GREAT pizza...period! Simple decor, nice people and service. One of Chicagoland areas best pizza carry out.“

“Haven’t had it in awhile, was driving past and decided to stop. So delicious I stopped the next day too!!!! The only problem I had the second stop was one of my buns was too soggy, but the other 3 dogs were perfect!!!“

“We had the thin crust pizza. It was probably the best I've ever had. The wait staff is great! Friendly and helpful. I have an allergy and they made sure it wouldn't be a problem. Would definitely recommend this place..atleased for the pizza.“

“Our meal was very delicious. Chicken vesuvio, sautéed perch, and linguini with red clam sauce all so good. Thank you for good service too.“

“I don’t know where this app gets its information but this is 100% incorrect. These are two separate restaurants bambino’s and Austin’s.“

“Awesome food! Definitely worth every penny!!“

“It’s delish again!!

I’ve been going here for a few years and whenever I have a taste for sausage deep dish I get it from this location. They are usually delicious. Today, I called to place an order for 10inch sausage and was told they don’t offer that even though I was staring at the menu I received the last time I ordered a deep dish from there which was probably less than a month prior. Made me feel like I was given a premade pizza and once I received it I feel that feeling was confirmed. It was burnt around the edges no chunky sauce and yet, the bottom of the crust was doughy. Was really hoping to enjoy this especially when I had to order a larger pizza than originally planned. Just didn’t taste fresh at all. So disappointed. Also I found it odd the pizza was just sitting on counter and not kept warm.“

“The no crust pizza is fantastic. This place is great!“

“Sbarro’s breakfast spread feels like the moment a fast-food joint suddenly remembers it has a soul. The eggs come out fluffy instead of rubbery, the peppers stay bright and sweet, and the sausage carries that satisfying, just-enough-spice warmth that wakes you up better than a motivational podcast. The roasted potatoes are the real ringleaders, though. They’ve got that crisp-on-the-edges, soft-in-the-center thing going on, like they were engineered by someone who genuinely cares about breakfast physics.

The whole plate tastes fresher than you expect from a spot best known for giant slices under heat lamps. It’s hearty without being heavy, comforting without getting sloppy. You walk away thinking, “Wait, did Sbarro just become my morning place?” That kind of pleasant surprise has a way of brightening the rest of the day.“

“The pizza is cooked to perfection every single time! This is an excellent track record especially considering that my family eats here often- LOL!“

“The food here is delicious! The menu is huge. If you’re wanting something a little lighter you can opt for a yummy chicken chop salad. We ended up getting the Italian beef and the Ruben. Both are excellent. The Ruben is the best Ruben I have ever eaten in my entire life hands-down you must get! We also had a vanilla shake and the large sizes are ginormous . The food servings are very generous, everything is very shareable. They even have an area where you can grab a beer if you’d like. The restaurant has a large sitting area and there is a covered back patio. Service is excellent and the restaurant very clean. A great place to stop!“
