“We recently had a luncheon at Moretti's in Elgin after the funeral of my mother, and I cannot say enough good things about our experience. From the beginning, the professionalism of manager, Felicia, her kindness, and willingness to make this as easy as possible for us during such a difficult time is deeply appreciated. Everything was top-notch: the accommodations, the food, and the service. We can and will definitely recommend for anyone needing a venue in the future. Thank you so very much!“

“I wasn’t looking to get the driver fired however, when I received my pizza, it was warm… when I called up to complain they all they did was give me excuses. No sorry… no discount just excuses… not happy
It wasn’t the driver‘s fault. It was whoever let that my pizza sit.“

“What an outstanding Restaurant! I had my daughter's bridal shower at Mio Modo and Michael, the Manager, took care of every detail that I was looking for. The food was excellent, from the appetizer-Calamari to the main meal-Pollo al Limone and Vodka Pasta, to the dessert Tiramisu!! So delicious!! The staff was very attentive and professional. We will definitely be visiting Mio Modo again. Thank you for a delightful experience!“

“Dined with Pietanza's several times and each time we're more impressed. Quickly becoming my favorite restaurant.“

“My husband and I owned a mobile Hot Dog Stand I ran it in Northwest Indiana. I sold Bari Beef Sandwiches. I was famous for my Beef sandwiches . I have and will always swear by Bari Beef!!!! We have moved all over the country the last 9 years and just moved to Bartlett Illinois. I just found out I live only 9.8 miles from Bari factory store …… I think I have died and gone to Heaven!!! On a side note. I had a deal for all new customers who questioned whether I had the best beef sandwiches. I told them “You buy my Beef sandwich and if you do t think it’s the best you have ever had I will give you your money back!” I have NEVER had to give anyone their money back!!! You are the best!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Incredible food, amazing service“

“We typically use the drive thru. We like your food, always fresh and tasty. Tonight I had the chicken avocado and strawberry salad. The salad was fresh, walnuts were sweet and crispy, dressing was very creamy. The only criticism I have is my chicken avocado and strawberry salad had no avocados. I do understand sometimes you can run out of ingredients or supply chain issues can interfere with menus. I would just ask to have this made known to us upon ordering or upon discovery, all in the interest of good customer service that you usually do deliver.“

“I got the cheddar cheese beef and Omg That was so delicious. I need to go back very soon to get another one.“

“We love their pizza, this is our go to pizza place. Staff is friendly, pizza is Great and fast delivery, what more could you ask for from your pizza place??!!“

“😊 I had a really pleasant dining experience, and the service made the biggest difference. Ben was an outstanding server—friendly, attentive, and incredibly quick with drink refills, breadsticks, and anything else we needed. 👏 He checked on us regularly without being intrusive, which made the meal even more enjoyable. The food was good and met my expectations, but the excellent customer service truly stood out. 🍽 Ben's positive attitude and professionalism made the visit memorable, and I'd be happy to return for another meal. ⭐👍“

“Me and my family went there for a birthday and the server we got (kyle) was amazing and so friendly and making sure we were comfortable and always asking if we needed refills. He was such a great host and what every customer needs as a host.“

“amazing! the people are professional yet feels like homey. it's a family run restaurant, authentic Food. nothing more authentic than the owner himself cooking, his Son working the front and his Wife hosting! if you want a hidden gem. this is it!“

“We went to Woodfire for my birthday. The food and service is excellent. Vicki was our server and she was very friendly and attentive. The food is so fresh and homemade. The pizza crust is crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. There is an assortment of types of pizza, but the cheese pizza is the best I’ve ever had. The pasta is rich and delicious. It’s cooked perfectly and the vodka sauce is amazing. The appetizers, home brewed beer, and desserts are phenomenal too. Step aside Coopers Hawk, I have a new favorite restaurant!“

“Celebrated with family and couldn't believe the SPECTACULAR birthday treat! While most restaurants are cutting back, this Rosati's in Hoffman Estates TREATED us with a huge dessert! Enough for all to enjoy! And their daily specials are the best. Our server Kaitlyn was so thoughtful and made us feel so welcome. Don't miss out on this hidden gem of a restaurant!“

“Great food, great prices.“

“One of our favorite spots to dine. Always amazing and delicious.“

“Dined before a concert in the Arcada Theatre with another couple on half price food Thursday night. We tried several of the ravioli dinners and all were delicious, especially the short rib ravioli. So good! The servers were very attentive and friendly. Drinks were also great! Highly recommend as the restaurant is very comfortable and the decor is fantastic.“

“If you like a super thin crust that is crispy to the middle, this is your pizza! Mozzarella sticks were handmade and fantastic! The cookie skillet was an incredible end to this meal. We also sampled the rigatoni and pasta scampi. We will be back!“

“We come here quite often because the food is outstanding. The one problem is the manager Frank who is very loud and rude. Not directly but when sitting at the bar, he will YELL right over our heads at another employee and in front of all the customers. or stand behind the bar and complain very loudly about stuff...we can also hear him YELLING at employees in the kitchen. He's very UNprofessional and whineyl!!! Everybody else is great!“

“Nuovo Italia has always been a restaurant we’ve really enjoyed, and we’ve had a lot of great experiences here over the years. We recently came back with a couple of our friends and, while we still had a good experience overall, it felt a little different from what we’ve been used to.

The food was still very good, and the restaurant itself has the same great look and feel. The main thing we noticed was that the service and overall atmosphere didn’t seem quite as attentive or welcoming as we remembered from previous visits.

We know the restaurant has recently changed ownership, so hopefully this was just an off night or part of a transition period. We’ve always enjoyed coming here and hope the overall experience gets back to what we’ve come to expect.

Overall, the food is still great and Nuovo Italia is absolutely a place we’d recommend. Our most recent experience was probably around a 7/10, but still a solid four stars. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I dined here tonight, having been here with family before, and I've always loved the food, atmosphere and service. I started with the bruschetta, which was great but if the kitchen could ease off the mound of diced tomatoes it would've been even more enjoyable. Less is more.

Moving forward I ordered the custom pasta dish. A half Alfredo half red sauce, I can't think of the name, with the spaghetti noodles and meatballs. The dish itself was piping hot, too hot to really taste the flavors I was looking for, which that's okay, I waited for it to cool off and went in. It was good! The only curiosity I had were the meatballs. They were tasteless and dissolved each bite I took. I'd like to know if they're frozen? Boiled? Maybe they just weren't prepared correctly? Either way, ill stick to sausage next visit.

Other than that, my server Tyler killed it. Great job dude. Thanks for taking care of me tonight.

I spent roughly $47. But I always tip well so I spent over $60 tonight (includes the tip I left) well deserved.“

“We love going for the entertainment, including Adam behind the bar lol“

“Delicious! I got a Heart Shaped Pizza for Valentines Day! Best thin crust pizza around!“

“During the 7 Friday’s of Lent we went to 5 different fish fry’s, and without a doubt Moretti’s was the best. Not only was the price the best, the amount of fish was the most without AYCE. Great French Fries, homemade coleslaw and plenty of tartar sauce. Another plus was Happy Hour Coors Light drafts for $3. I’d like to thank our server ( Will M. )for doing a great job.“

“The 5 stars must be family and friends, I’m done pure garbage Chicago Style pizza!“

“Excellent pizza, crispy crust, delicious sauce and spices!! The breaded zucchini was perfect.“

“So many choices and the food is always great.“

“Held an event for nearly 300 there and couldn't be happier. Staff was great to work with and food was great. Every comment received from those attending the event was positive! Looking to hosting our event there again in 2025“

“NPT is the best pizza in the suburbs of Chicago! It is Neopolitan style pizza and they have pasta dishes as well. Their appetizers are excellent, their Tiramisu is top notch, and they have a good selection of wines and Italian sodas. Get over to NPT for authentic Neopolitan pizzas!“

“They are great for cater orders. Food is good, packages are excellent for our parties. This was my second time ordering for a party snd everyone commented positive on the food and wanted to know where we got it.
Thank you for making or 4th extra special.“

“Excellent service, food is great and they are so helpful and pleasant. Always ready to serve you the best.“

“Fast delivery and great service for the event I had at my house last weekend. The pizzas were great and everyone raved about it. Thank you!“

“Disappointing. Have given this place a few tries, but last night was the last. Ordered a sausage pizza and there literally was 1 piece of sausage per slice on majority of the slices of pizza. Some slices actually had no sausage. Plus it was dry. Lifted up the cheese and there was barely any sauce. And, end pieces had no cheese. Took a pick when it was mostly gone....we were hungry so ate in anyways. We were very disappointed. A bad night maybe ? They weren't busy at all, no one inside. Really wanted to love this place, but....“

“Pizza is very very awesome! Dinners are always on point as well! Reliable, consistent and tonight, probably the best we’ve ever had, so I felt like I had to say something positive for ya. Thanks so much for all y’all do, we feel lucky to have this establishment near us to order from. We look forward to our next order!!!“

“Great pizza, wish they had zeppole on the dessert menu, it’s the only Rosati’s location I can’t find them at which results me in ordering from the next restaurant. I attached what zeppole look from the other locations, they don’t even have the appetizer version with the marinara. Crazy because they’re big sellers at other locations and they run out.“

“loved this place. the service and the pizza were the past in the state“

“Giordano’s is my childhood favorite. Recently catered 40 pizzas for my company and everyone loved it! It was a big hit! Thanks to everyone at the Saint Charles location! We will definitely be back.“
