“We had a holiday party for a bunch of girls. Ignacio was a wonderful server and did a great job. So much fun.!“

“Great experience, staff is always friendly and cleaning. The owner is very nice and was very personable being able to talk about our families as we mentioned we come there after our little one’s doctor visits. We come for the sliced pizzas deal they have although we have had the chicken strips, fries and some other appetizers. Sure we will be back soon. Wish Libertyville had more places like this.“

“Was there Thursday night we had Braised Short ribs and crispy Brussels sprouts was delicious service was great the bartender colie made me a special drink Wow will definitely be back“

“We order from here 1-3 times a week for lunch at my shop and dinner at home. The food is always fantastic, delivery is fast and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We've also gotten catering before too and that service was fantastic. Night driver Scott is awesome too!“

“We held a family funeral lunch at Lino’s. The staff was welcoming, attentive and very friendly as they took care of our party, which filled their banquet room. We had a couple of chicken dishes, a couple of vegetable dishes, a garden salad, potatoes, and cannoli for dessert. Our guests raved about the food, which was delicious and hot! We could not be more enthusiastic in our recommendation of Lino‘s!“

“Service was very good until they got busy, then it tapered off. Pizza took a little long and wasn't quite hot when we got it so I think it had been sitting a minute or two too long. We ordered the Pizza Bianca and they might want to reconsider the cheese mix...this one is on the very salty side, but still good. It is definitely a great place to have in Libertyville!“

“My go-to place for thin-crust pizza in Libertyville. Consistently good... crispy crust, tasty sauce, perfect blend of cheese and just the right amount. Tried lots of others, and always end up going back to Rosati's. Don't be put off by the location in a mostly deserted and run down strip mall.“

“I used to live in the Chicago area. I now live in Texas, and we can't get Lou Malnati's pizza. (So sad ?) We flew out of O'Hare after visiting my Dad in Wisconsin and stayed overnight in Vernon Hills. I was able to order pizza to bring in my carry-on back to Texas with me. It was just as good as I remember!
Dear Lou Malnati's, please open a location un Brownwood, TX. ♥️“

“Omar gave great service! Good was very good (ravioli with tomato cream). Good for kids too!“

“Stop in for the canolli and stay for the food.“

“We live 2.5 hours south of Lake Villa, but we were meeting some friends from Florida for dinner. They were in the area for their grandson’s graduation from Great Lakes Naval Academy. Found this place via Google and it had great reviews, with good reason. We wish we lived closer because it would be a favorite for sure. Probably the best bruschetta and lasagna I’ve had in a very long time. Everyone loved their entrees. We tried multiple pasta dishes and the pizza. Prices were very reasonable and our service was exceptional. Excellent dining experience all around. Highly recommend.“

“Tina G’s in Mundelein is truly a gem! As happy multiple visit repeat customers, we can’t say enough about the outstanding food, warm atmosphere, and the incredible people who make every visit so special. Tina and her husband, Chef Phil Gilardi, pour their hearts into every detail, from the creative and delicious dishes to the welcoming hospitality that makes you feel right at home. Dining here is always more than a meal—it’s a memorable experience filled with flavor, comfort, and joy. We can’t wait to return again and again, and we recommend Tina G’s to anyone who loves great food and genuine warmth!“

“OUTSTANDING! What an amazing place that has been around and in the same family for decades. We all had homemade pasta including the gluten-free option and they were all delicious and authentic. We had just returned from Italy the prior week and it felt like we were still there! KUDOS to the family and Chef.“

“Growing up in Italy, I learned to appreciate food that feels both authentic and full of heart, and Olivia’s Italian Restaurant gives me just that. I often come here for their homemade pasta and classic chicken parmigiana, dishes that bring me right back to family dinners in Turin. The warm, welcoming atmosphere makes it feel less like dining out and more like being embraced by true Italian hospitality“

“Louie's is the best place to eat in Waukegan. Great Italian food, thin crust pizza, fried chicken and fish. Everything is great. They give you the best bread hot from the oven when you sit down. Huge bar. Family friendly. You can't go wrong at this place.“

“Purchased a supreme pizza with Cheese, Sausage, Onions, Green Pepper and Mushrooms. The pizza tasted great, with one gotcha. The onions were a bit Chunky, making them still firm when biting. But everything else was great tasting.
Always a fan of this restaurant as its one of our go tonspots when ordering.“

“I’m so glad I found this place! great fresh food and good service. A great addition to the neighborhood.“

“We were in town for a convention and staying at a hotel. We decided to order a pizza our last night there. We chose Joe's at random, and we were not disappointed. Our order was delivered promptly by a very nice, and courteous person. The pizza we ordered was delicious. We loved everything about it -the thin crust, delicious sauce (not too much), and generous amount of cheese. I especially liked that the toppings were under the cheese, and there were herbs!! Kuddos to Joe's for great food and friendly service!!“

“Rosebud is one of our "go-to" Italian restaurants on the Northshore. My wife and I split an appetizer and an entree, the portions are that big. Be sure and ask to be seated at one of Antonio's tables. He is a wonderful waiter.“

“My third visit has cemented my opinion of Half & Half Pizza. The staff at every visit have been helpful, friendly and professional. The pizza is outstanding, I have tried three different pizzas with their classic crust. Very consistent with flavor, cook and quality of ingredients. The wings should not be overlooked as well. Excited for my next visit.“

“Easy to order over the phone.....very friendly voice !
Picked up my personal pan pizza.."Lou's" version with added sausage. OMG...DELICIOUS ...will return to this Grayslake location....easy to find. This was my first visit to this location.“
