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.

“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!“

“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!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

Thank you Connor“

“Met friends for dinner on a Monday evening. Our server (John) was amazing. He had answers for our many questions, was prompt, courteous and fun to chat with. After we'd finished our meal, we found out it was his first day as a server - what!? You would have though he'd been doing this for years - he was ECXCELLENT! Thank you John for making our visit so wonderful. The friends I met there for dinner are really fun and we don't get to see each other very often. That dinner was not only super delicious, but our server John was at the top of his game, made the occasion all the better. We couldn't have been more impressed! Thank you for making our get together for dinner so lovely. One more thing...keep that never ending pasta bowl coming. That promo is the BEST thing Olive Garden does each year!!“

“Wow, this place is so delicious, the focaccia bread and oil is incredible.. I seriously could just fill up on that alone but luckily I didn’t! The calamari was crispy and fresh, the build your own pasta (fettuccine Alfredo) was a steaming hot huge portion with a delicious fresh cream and cheese sauce. The Caesar salad that came with the pasta was cold and crisp and fresh with a delicious creamy dressing. For dessert we had the spumoni gelato, which genuinely brought tears to my eyes as I hadn’t had it in maybe 28 years since I was a young child.. it was so good. All of it was just delicious, and the service was really great as well.. we had full drinks and bread on the table the whole time, the food came out quickly and was always hot/fresh.. great prices for such high quality food… yum!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“What a great place, the food was absolutely amazing. The chef special I had, tortellini with peas had a light alfredo that was made my taste buds sing!! This is probably the best Italian restaurant I've been to ever, no joke, and our server Waylin was just a delight. I will come back here time and time again. This was my first time. It will not be my last!!!!!“

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

“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....“

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

“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“

“Was in town for a short visit, and grabbed a Lou's veggie—yum! Love the app, makes ordering quick and easy!“
