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“

“My husband Jack and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary tonight, and on a last minute whim he chose Bella Mia. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of phenomenal, and I had to write this review immediately. The moment we walked in, we were greeted not only by the host and hostess, but also by several staff members and even guests at the bar. The atmosphere was warm, cozy, welcoming, and incredibly friendly. Pure class. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and perfectly accented with soft candlelight, making the evening feel special and intimate. We sat at the bar and were welcomed by Gina, the bartender, who was extremely attentive and genuinely kind, making us feel right at home. The food was cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. The owner, Randy, came by to greet us and his personality was truly infectious. He had us laughing nonstop and made our night even more memorable. We also had the pleasure of sitting next to Marcy and Dick, regulars who have been coming since day one. Even though this was our very first visit, we felt like part of the Bella Mia family. From the staff to the clientele, the love and pride behind this place are undeniable. Bella Mia is truly one of a kind and deserves all the recognition it receives. We felt all the love and will absolutely be back again and again. Jessica O’Grady“

“Had A great experience today at Olive Garden! Dafne Was an amazing waitress. She was constantly checking to make sure I had everything I needed. The host as well made sure to inform me of who will be taking care of me today and letting me know they would be with me shortly. The service and communication was great. I don't come here often so it was good to have a good experience.“

The help was outstanding at helping me get the order at the right location and everyone was so pleasant and went out of their way to correct my mistake. Thank you Luis (Crown Point) and Christina (Schererville)! You are Rock Stars!!“

“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.“

“Incredible meal, incredible value. This is great, even compared to the high standards of other Olive Gardens. We had Adrian as our server and i couldn’t recommend him highly enough, he should be running the place!

One small but important piece of feedback: the bathrooms don’t have paper towels and have pull doors, so for those hygiene conscious of us, there’s no method to avoid touching the door handle. I would suggest either paper towels, a push door or one of those foot things to pull the door.“

“A very pleasant surprise!
​To be honest, I sometimes hesitate when it comes to large chain restaurants, as my preferences usually lean elsewhere. However, my visit to Olive Garden about two weeks ago completely exceeded my expectations.
​While the food was quite good and definitely a step above average (the breadsticks and salad are always a classic!), what truly made our meal outstanding was the service. Our server was fantastic—incredibly attentive without being intrusive, timely with every request, and genuinely friendly. It's not every day you get that level of service, and it made a huge difference.
​Because of this wonderful experience, I can confidently say I'll be back“

“The staff weren't that nice, the food didn't live up the the Barraco's name, but it wasn't a terrible experience. If the staff didn't hand us smudged glasses and forks with food stains, had been more like waiters who entertain guests rather than serve food, and a pizza that seemed not to be baked well and had a grainy crust, it would be five star dinning I experience. I had no real problem here, but it hadn't lived up the name.“

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

“The cheeseburgers are awful and thin. Our server was rude. My boyfriend woke up the next morning vomiting all day from eating there the night before. We will never come back.“

“Our go to Pizza Night spot. Quick & delicious every time!“

“Wasn’t able to complete the survey online but I wanted to make sure to recognize our amazing server Jordan D. He was very attentive and friendly and made our dining experience great! Even with it being busy, he made sure to check on us frequently and make sure everything was good.“

“Great food and excellent service!“

“Paisan’s is my go to since moving to Naperville. I came from Evergreen Park, so I’m used to better pizza than most places I’ve tried. Paisan’s has been the only place that has been great across the board!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Growing up in the Chicago area, especially on the south side, you EXPECT local pizza joints to be good. Lots of places that don't primarily sell pizza still have better pizza that you get in other parts of the country.

Though it's been around for a long time, as have I, I'd never tried Rosangela's prior to this time, and I'm here to say that I am a believer.

I tried introducing a colleague of mine to chicago pizza at a couple other places, and they did not impress him... Rosangela's did.

Just a medium special and a drink, but I will tell you that it's some of the best tavern style things crust pizza you'll ever have.

It's as good as your favorite place, and likely better.

Try it.“

“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.“

“Great food great service good atmosphere“

“Great customer service that gets you in and out in no more than 10 minutes depending upon how much of an order. Regular orders are normally 3-4 minutes tops. Limited dining in based on crowds and also not so large parking lot, but much parking outside on the streets. Reasonable prices and lunch specials throughout the week.“

“Natalie was great and food always consistent. Wish they kept the zucchini on there menu... Will just go too south loop location too enjoy the sportster when desired. This Lou's is always a great dining choice right off a dinner time flight arrival“

“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!“

“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!“

“Ava is a model employee. There are no words to describe her attentiveness and patience. She very knowledgeable with the menu and a great asset to your establishment. She has a warm, welcoming and extremely kind. I pray God continually blesses her.“

“AMAZING PIZZA! Our new favorite spot!! We had a medium pizza, half pepperoni and half sausage and it was OUSTANDING. Amazing sauce, not sweet, I love that they put the pepperoni under the cheese. We had bone in wings with Memphis BBQ which was super good, & Lemon pepper boneless which are the best I’ve had. Place is a gem!“

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

“Food is always excellent!“

“the food is always made to order &&&& extremely goodt.! 😩 this is literally the only place I go on my lunch. 🤤🤤🤤“

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

“This place has two atmospheres.

One part of it is fine dining with white table cloths.

The second part is a bar with high tops and booths. This is where we sat. There are TV’s everywhere. Even each booth has its own TV. Abbey Murphy’s dad, the waiter told us, is a frequent customer here. That was exciting for my six year old hockey player son and his hockey player friend. There was a banner for everyone to sign right before she won the gold Olympic medal. Of course my son and his friend couldn’t resist (Connor & Patrick). They’re both St. Jude Knights currently just as Abbey Murphy used to be.“

“This place is such a hidden gem! Catered from them for Xmas eve and had my birthday dinner there a week before. Actually also had my rehearsal dinner there almost 10 years ago lol! Can't say enough good things.. they let me put in a last minute order for Christmas Eve so I didn't have to cook a ton of pasta, and gave me extra vodka sauce!!! Love Louisa's will be back again and again :)“

“Party Room catering food 🖤“

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

“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.“

“Live Dj that plays for the crowd.“

“Several orders have been placed and received from this establishment. The pizza has consistently been hot, fresh and delicious! The food is so well prepared and tasty! I just love this restaurant. It’s my new go to place in the neighborhood.“

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

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