“Been going here since I was a kid. Great food and very reasonable .“

“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.“

“Everything there runs better when MARY is working. She is friendly, efficient and seems to be able to multitask better than most employees at the Oak Lawn location. She’s the best !“

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

“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.“

“The food was amazing and our server John was hands down best we have ever had. Large portion sizes so plenty to take home. It was very loud in there due to larger parties. Unfortunately our table was directly across from the bathrooms which was gross and added to the traffic near table. Perhaps no table should be in that location. BUT food and service was great and would recommend!“

“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.“

“Everything was delicious and the service was outstanding.“

“Amazing food! Had the Buffalo chicken pizza and it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend 💯“

“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.“

“Everytime I call and get a man name Joey his is the best. His customer service is the best and his always has an up beat attitude. Joey please keep up the work and if y'all haven't already gave him a raised now is the time! Also, the last couple times I have had a delivery, a young African American guy comes, I don't know his name but he also has great customer service. If y'all know who I am talking about please give him a raise too.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Food is decent... Only thing I don't like is that when you phone order and they tell you food will be ready in 5 min. It won't be. They put the fries or other food in when you arrive to pickup your order. I get what's behind it.. I guess some people don't show up and food goes to waste but I think they should keep an phone number log of people that order and actually show up to pick their food up. If you tell me to be there in 10 min I just want to walk in , pay and move on, not wait another 15 min.. parking lot is way too small for this.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Food is always excellent!“

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

“Delicious!! Thin Crust Lots of sausage .. i love the green olive too! The mostaccioli and giant size meatballs .. mmmmm and that red sauce .. it’s heavenly !!“

“I happen to work in the area and the young lady name Pranavi I placed my order with was so kind to me. We dined in for lunch and then the manager Otis came out of no where and was also so helpful, he even helped wrap our food up with the biggest smile. 😊 I will most definitely be coming back thank you both!“

“Was the takeout order supposed to be thin crusted? And by time I got it home, it felt like it was double crusted and ugh, not totally cooked. So I'll hit that doughy in the bottom of the crust side of that, it was okay. Ended up eating most of the toppings off of it, but that was it.“

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

“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 🖤“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Live Dj that plays for the crowd.“

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

“Our family loves the thin crust Hawaiian because we love the sauce. Our next go to is their classic wings specially their own mango habanero sauce. Their deep dish is also very good. Their burgers are juicy but well done. Their fries are fresh, and their onion rings are crunchy from the outside and not oily. The pizza slices for the kids at after school pick up is the best they love it. ❤️“
