I had the chicken Milano and my partner had the carbonara and both were fabulous!! Great job on the meal, our waiter was amazing, he remembered all our drinks which were also delicious, and the whole night was a great one! Wish we didn’t live so far away or we would partake in your restaurant weekly!!!“

“I had my daughter-in-law’s baby shower yesterday. Everyone loved the ambience of being out in the atrium. The food was fantastic. The service was outstanding. Our go to guy was Frank and he kept everything moving along. When setting up the date and picking out everything was made very easy by their staff. I wish I remember the name of the people I originally worked with to set this up. they were very helpful.and nice..Pricing is very reasonable. I would highly recommend having a shower of any kind there“

“We’ve lived in the area for over 8 years and finally stopped here for dinner. The food was delicious - huge portions, the specials include soup and salad and the amazing service from Paulette was absolutely wonderful. I had the ribs - yummy and they fall off the bone. My husband had the chicken Alfredo. He loved it and the portion was huge! Great bang for the buck too. Beer and wine only but that’s all we needed.“

“If ever there was a place which resonates the Billy Joel song “Scenes from an Italian restaurant “ This place is IT! Visited for the first time on 2/14/26. The aroma as we entered was so inviting. Met the owners/ daughter and mom. So very sweet and funny too. Our server was Candy. She was working very hard on a busy Valentine’s Day. I had the lasagna and I can honestly say it was the best lasagna I’ve ever had in my life! The ricotta filling was so whipped and light. It was just delightful and so delicious. The bomba ice cream was scrumptious! Cannot wait to return to this gem of a restaurant!! 🇮🇹“

“Their pizza is delicious. My family loves pizza. We have tried many is the surrounding area and nothing compares to Guardi's. It has become a staple for take out in my house. Their service is great (I have never arrived and had to wait for my order) and the employees have always been extremely friendly and sufficient. It's worth giving them a try.“

“5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I used to get this pizza when I was growing up in Orland Park. It's still an amazing pizza and the (owner?) who I've interacted with a couple times recently has been incredibly inviting when you enter his business, super friendly. That's great but like I said, the pizza is outstanding! I love supporting the small guy. If you haven't given them a try, do it. You won't be disappointed! If I still lived in Orland Park this would be my go to every time! Plus I got to catch the Bears interception play on their TV today when I was grabbing my pizza. 🐻 ⬇️“

“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!“

“Really solid sandwhiches, soups, and salads. This place is honestly better than the higher end higher priced places I've had in Chicago. And I heard they do catering, so that's cool!

And the tall blonde guy gave incredible service. He's a good one. K, thanks, that's all!

The cooks are also good. And Dave. Everyone's stellar.👌🏻“

“Had a wonderful brunch at Olive Garden with my daughter today! ❤ The food was great, but what truly made our visit special was the outstanding customer service.

A huge thank you to our wonderful server, Sandra, who was so kind, attentive, and genuinely sweet throughout our meal. We also want to recognize Zaid at the front desk, whose warm welcome and friendly attitude made our experience even better from the moment we walked in.

Excellent customer service like yours makes all the difference. Thank you both for making our brunch so enjoyable—we truly appreciate you!“

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

“Nancy’s has come to be one of my absolute favorites. Whether deep dish, extra thin, or rustic the crust is ALWAYS perfect. It’s flavorful, has just the right ratio of cheese and sauce and is delicious even when eaten cold the next morning.

One of the reasons we love the New Lenox location is the customer service. Every time I have called to place an order, it’s always the same wonderful lady who takes the orders. She’s PHENOMENAL!“

“Best French fries in the world never had a bad meal here.“

“My 2 pizza order was 45 min late, wrong topping on one, both barely warm. Never again.“

“Everything I've had there was exceptional. MY favorite is the 4 cheese ravioli. I swear it's the best I've had in my entire life“

“I picked up a pizza yesterday afterwork at this location. Upon entering the establishment I was greeted with a smile and a hello from the nice lady behind the counter. You are ten steps ahead of your local competitors like that. THANK YOU.
Good food too!“

“Nancy's uses their own delivery drivers and are ALWAYS top notch in the speed and care of your food.
I have been ordering delivery for over 25 years...they only made one error in that time period. That and the quality of food has been stable for over 25 years speaks of itself.“

“Great food and an awesome location!“

“Yummy Hawaiian pizza style I’ll buy more soon“

“As I walked in the cashier was too busy playing a game on her phone. She acted as if I was disturbing her. Anyway now to the pizza I ordered a small pizza with 4 toppings, extra cheese and sauce. It was 30 dollars a couple of the toppings was a double charge. They told me 40 minutes. I've never waited that long for a pizza but okay. It wasn't definitely no extra cheese and sauce. I must say it was delicious. Just a few things rubbed me the wrong way so I'm not sure if I will try it again“

“I stopped in for a Friday lunch at the bar. Ordered the Chipotle Grilled Chicken wrap with fries. Chipotle sauce with the chicken was on point as well as the large side serving of crispy fries. Drank a Blue Moon and Revolution Anti-Hero to wash it down. Took home half the wrap and fries. Holly the barkeep was fantastic, always checking if I needed anything. Great service! Out the door for about $30. Always a fantastic experience at Barracco's.“

“On June 6th 2026 we got married at society 57. Long story short our caterer didn’t show up so my MIL ended up calling them. When I tell you these amazing people whipped up some food to feed 140 people they did it faster than a fast food chain could ever for this amount of people.Thank you thank you thank you for saving our wedding day!!!“

“I usually trust Olive Garden because it’s a nationwide chain with very consistent food quality. We were driving from Chicago to central Illinois today, got hungry, saw this location along the way, and decided to stop.

The food itself was exactly what I expected from Olive Garden. The taste was consistent with every other location I’ve visited, so I have no complaints about the food.

Unfortunately, almost everything else was disappointing.

First, the restaurant wasn’t very clean. I know Olive Garden locations aren’t always spotless, but this one was noticeably worse. The tables, chairs, and even the utensils all felt like they could have been cleaned much more thoroughly.

Second, our bill was incorrect. We were charged for two dishes that we never ordered. Fortunately, the server corrected the mistake as soon as I pointed it out.

Third, the order of service was completely disorganized. Our entrees arrived before our drinks, and our salad and soup didn’t come until after the main courses. Normally, you would expect drinks first, then breadsticks, followed by salad and soup, and finally the entrees. The whole meal felt out of sequence.

Finally, the service was extremely slow. It took about 25 minutes before our server even came over to greet us. To be fair, the server himself was polite, apologized sincerely every time we mentioned an issue, and fixed the problems promptly. I don’t blame him personally—it seemed more like a management or staffing issue than an individual employee problem.

Overall, the food met the Olive Garden standard, but the cleanliness, billing error, slow service, and disorganized dining experience made this one of the weaker Olive Garden locations I’ve visited.“

“Simply delicious pizza! I love their butter crust!“
