50 Best Italian Restaurants near Dolton

“Good food. Excellent courteous and fast service.“

“Tried a slice of pepperoni i never had pepperoni under cheese. At first I thought i had the wrong pizza. It was really yummy. Cheese had a nice pull the sauce was straight forward tomato not spicy or acidic probably white pepper garlic salt. Overall 7.5/10 I'll be back to try more next time im in Chicago it's a solo trip can't eat an entire pie. Great job“

“Our meal was delicious, server, Alex, was attentive and helpful, a pleasant dining experience“

“Fabulous food and service! Bill the bartender is the best, and the owner could not be any nicer or more accommodating. ❤️“

“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.“

“Never disappoints, Marsha and the team are a well oiled machine! 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!“

“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“

“I recommend everything it’s delicious & delightful service ❤️ I treated myself to dessert today. Can’t get top notch spumoni anywhere 😉“

“awesome, even with take out. always hot and fresh.“

“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.“

“you hungry for real great food, that's cool, me too, you should go here!!! you're welcome. staff is really nice as well.“

“Delicious food. A throw back to early Chicago pizzerias. Well maintained facilities. Great friendly service. Reasonable prices. Often overlooked when compared to other traditional pizzerias with commercial advertisement but Palermo’s holds its own against the best.“

“Food was good everybody at the table (10) liked their foods . We all ordered something different. Service was good , no complaints there either . We went for lunch at 1 pm , it wasn't to busy and not loud at all . It was a Tuesday. I would go back !“

“food was ready when i arrived staff greated me as soon as i walked in the employee on duty ( female ) did a great job even though it was the end of her shift seeing as staff switched shifts as soon as i arrived great service and food was exactly as i ordered this is the best location in chicagoland“

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

“First time I've eaten here and Santina Was absolutely wonderful! She was patient as we looked over the menu and made sure we got everything we would need. She provided us with information on the online membership before we left. The food was hot and delicious & I couldnt ask for any better experience. Thank you again 😊“

“The best Olive Garden in the world. Best Lasagna. Server Robert amazing auru & customer service. & the manager she was definitely holding it down she was kinda tall with short black hair. This location feels & look like a high end restaurant. Love it & Everyone is nice & respectful.“

“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!“

“Excellent service delicious food there was a wait but you have the option stay or they will text you when your a
Table is ready. Great service waitresses and full staff will definitely be back."Also take out area is wonderful to:)“

“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.“

“Bridgette is the best!! Great food, great service, great atmosphere!! 12/10 recommend!!“

“delicious pizza end fast services the best pizza.“

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

“These guys have been on my list for a while and it was worth the wait. THIS IS PIZZA. Bridgeport phils still has my heart but this place just bumped into the 2/3 spot for me. TOP 3 Chicago pizzeria.

Crust: this is what did it for me. The crust was a perfect thickness and kept its structure/ crisp throughout the whole pizza

Sauce: they’re cooking down their own sauce I believe. It’s got a touch of that fresh tomato sweetness. Nothing over powering, just a great classic sauce

Sausage/cheese: high quality Battaglia products. Traditional cheese blend and good sausage. Nothing crazy in this category but definitely brings their pizza together

DONT SLEEP ON ROSANGELAS!“

“We love your pizzeria and bar! Colleen was an amazing server! The food is delicious!“

“Pops never let's me down. They are consistent. Good quantity and quantity. I'm a borderline French fry addict and they rank pretty high on my top 10 list. Double grilled chicken, hot pepper mix,bag of salty smoking hot fries, I'm done“

“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!“

“Great food great service good atmosphere“

“Ate there a few months ago when my son was up for his college visit and we loved the place. We are coming in town again today for his game and he said he wants to go back for dinner afterwards. Can't wait. Great food. Great atmosphere. And the owner was so engaging and awesome to talk to.“

“The majority of the staff was excellent, very pleasant, friendly, and seemed genuinely happy to be there. Unfortunately, I seemed to get the one server who was not. He appeared to be resentful about receiving a solo diner. When I asked him about what cider was on the menu, he told me that it was angry orchard, which wasn't on the menu. It only showed Vander Mill Cider, seasonal variations. When I pointed this out and asked what kind, he replied that yes, they had cider. I stared at him and then he asked me if I'd like him to go check and see what kind they had. I told him yes.
Upon his return, he advised that it was their standard hard apple. I then asked him how the gluten-free pizza was. He hadn't had it, but said that people seemed to like it and ordered it. So I ordered a water, the hard cider, and a thin crust gluten free pizza with pepperoni and sausage. He returned with my water, dropped it off, and left without a word. The bartender (or another server), who was very sweet, brought me my cider. The cider was very pleasantly dry and not terribly sweet.
After about half an hour, another sweet lady brought me an AMAZING pizza. It was absolutely incredible, loaded with toppings, and cooked to perfection, leaving the crust crisp and not undergone. I was surprised that it was cut into squares, but that made no difference to me. Side note... the cider was a PERFECT match for pizza.
At about 2 squares in, a HUGE party was seated next to me for my server. It became very noisy and he didn't return until I was halfway thru my meal. He... expressed surprise that I had my food??
I finished my pizza and waited a VERY long time for my check. It was long enough that the table busser came and collected the dishes from my table. When the server returned, I told him that I'd like my check. He brought out a credit machine, told me my total and held out his hand for my card. I had to ask him to SHOW ME my bill!? I then paid and left.
Overall? Great restaurant and food, but the experience was less than stellar. I'll definitely return, but that particular server (James G from my check) won't be waiting on me again.“

“My only complaint is I’m mad I just found out about this place. We ordered a sausage pizza, it’s right up there in my top 5 best pizza’s. It’s very well seasoned and they don’t skimp on the sausage. Delicious pizza, Friendly costumer service , and the price wasn’t bad at all. My husband loved it too and he’s very hard to please when it comes to pizza. We will definitely be becoming regular customers.“

“My server Joey was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we sat down, he was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. He was knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and went above and beyond to make the whole experience enjoyable. The food was absolutely fantastic too!! Will definitely be back!!“

“Food is always excellent!“

“Every time I go in there they always have the freshest Pizza even though they have young people working there they always make sure that other people is nice and fresh one time it was really hot it was like 90 something out of me until nobody so I'm not going to say no need but they gave me a few more cuz it was hot I love them they are the best and is the best pizza and it was so perfect it will crunch so it was like nice really well done that's why I go like twice a week“

“Best pizza around. Been going there well over 35 years now and still just as good.“

“If you're having a bad day, come see Chris behind the bar. If you're hungry, come see Chris behind the bar. If you just want a drink, come see Chris behind the bar Service is AWESOME, the food is excellent“

“Leaving Chicago and we wanted a nice little family pizza place. This was the place and boy was it worth it. Pizza was excellent and the cheesy breadsticks oh my so good. The young lady taking the orders was very nice and polite and super friendly. Sauce was good and for a thing crust which my husband normally does not like he was impressed and loved the pizza. If we didnt live almost 2 hours away in Indiana we would be there more often. And next time we are going thru Chicago /east Chicago area we are going to stop again. So worth it.
Thank you for the awesome pizza and the friendliness. 20 out 10 I would recommend this place. The best pizza we have had in a very long time.“

“i love barracos so much i think it’s a small town staple! they are open late which is great for a late night bite! i love ordered their slices to go it comes with two slices one for now and one for later! overall i have barracos number saved in my phone and they are my favorite pizza place to order from around here.“

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

“Great pizza all around!! All the ingredients taste fresh, and the pizza is always in perfect shape when you get the box in your hands. Crust is thin and extremely crispy(order it well done). They bring the pizza out to your car when you pick it up. Great service, great pizza.“

“#1 Chicken & Pizza combo!“

“Pizza was DELICIOUS! Service was OUTSTANDING! Without Limits hockey team ordered 10 pizzas for pickup. Estimated pickup time was spot on. Every pizza was full of toppings and piping hot! it was so GOOD! Highly recommended. Thank you from all of us!“

“Amazing buffet! All you can eat! Delicious Italian food! Amazing waitresses!“

“I ordered a medium, thin crust, sausage pizza. The pizza was ready earlier than estimated. The pizza was delicious, hot, and perfectly flavored. The sausage had fennel seeds in it. The sauce was mild and light. The only negative is the size of the pizza. The medium serves 16 square/triangle slices. The medium looks like a small.

The cashier was friendly and courteous. A person in the back, I assume was the owner, was courteous.

Parking: The restaurant is in a small strip mall area, so the lot is shared with other businesses. The main street is busy, but additional parking could be located in the area.“
