“I go on Fridays for happy hour where they have half off drinks. Clean adult fun with no drama. It's normally packed so if you don't like crowds, this place may not be for you. They have one of the best dj's in Chicago on Friday, Dj Reverb and he keeps the place jumping.Parking: Parking can be difficult on Fridays due to happy hour, get there early“
“I love this place! The chicken Marsala is incredible! We also had eggplant roll acting as an appetizer, linguine with clams,gnocchi and manicotti! All great and we all have dinner for tomorrow! Service is great and always like talking to the owner, who makes you feel like you are his personal guests! Only suggestion for improvement is to assign the waitstaff to one area! This happened last time too. The servers are running all over! Be a little kinder to them. They work so hard!“
“We enjoyed a lovely meal with delicious food and great service. Joe was our server and was very knowledgeable and attentive. The baked clams were exceptional and the raw oysters were so good! We had several appetizers and each ordered a meal. Zero complaints from us! The pork chop with Marsala mushrooms was amazing! Well done Vinny's, we'll be back!“
“Went in for dinner with my daughters, and the ambiance was so friendly, being greeted when walking in. We did not have to wait long for a table for 5, we had the cod dinner, pizza, chicken tenders, and cheeseburger. The girls and I loved it. Can't believe we moved to Midlothian over a year ago and we just tried this place!! We sure have been missing out.“
“My family has been coming to Francesca’s on 95th for years for gatherings and special occasions.All of the food is delicious; I particularly enjoy the vodka pasta with sausage (the paccheri alla vodka e salsiccia). They also have awesome appetizers and a variety of drink options.The atmosphere is great, and it works well for lunches or dinners.“
“I have a hard time with Italian joints because I've grown up with home made from my italian family. This one however, is amazing. I don't think I've had a bad meal here. Baked clams were nice and clean with no sand, the calamari was cooked perfectly and not chewy, the garbage salad is HUUGE and amazing. My favorite dish is the chicken milano which used to be a special only, however if you knew about it, they would make it. Glad to see it's permanent on the menu now. If you want italian food, this is pretty much the best around you find. Thanks guys!“
“At first when they first opened up I was disappointed. But they sure did change my opinion about them through out the last 6 time I have ordered from them. Excellent quality pizzas and they taste great. If you ask they will cook it to your liking as well this is why I have to give them 5 stars. Thank you for moving into the area!“
“We had a great lunch here! We've been living right around the corner for about a year and just discovered Caffe Milan. The sandwiches we ordered off the restaurant week menu were so good! The chicken salad on a pretzel bun was amazing and the chicken ranch wrap was tasty too. They came with a huge pickle spear too. It was the perfect amount of food! Mary was kind and talked with us. She made the experience more personal. We will definitely be back!“
“I just got off the phone with Migele from the Evergreen Park store and had some issues with my order. I'm severely handicapped and asked for curbside pickup, and also a change to the order. Migele was very accommodating and did a great professional job. And my sister said that the pizza was very good. Thanks again Miguel ?“
“My son and his family brought a huge box of your mouthwatering items to me here in Wisconsin. I was born and raised in Chicago so I was use to good Italian food and I really missed it until I received yours. It was THE BEST SURPRISE EVER. AMAZING. Thank you.?❤️“
“One of my favorite restaurants in the South Suburbs for excellent Italian food. Always consistent and delicious with plenty of choices for everyone on the menu. The specials always peak my interest and Toni, my favorite server describes them perfectly! Her description of the wines always has me trying out something perfect for my meal. I had read a previous bad review due to a television with Fox news on the TV! I do not go there for the television and LOVE the atmosphere, EXCELLENT food and great service! Love this place and I will keep going back..“
“The Chicago styled pizza is amazing !!! I love the burnt styled cheese on it !! First time trying this place and I loved it !! I will definitely be back to try more pasta and ofcourse the pizza !! It is now one of my favorite places . I also got the Gnocchi which really showcases the sauce here ! The tomato soup was a great choice it had a lot of flavor and I’m glad if tryed it . My service was fast and great . Nice spacious place with a lot of booth seating .“
“Born and raised on Sanfratello’s in Glenwood. I will say it is pretty close to the original. Very difficult to replicate old ovens and pans, but they are doing a pretty darn good job! I recommend for sure, especially if you’ve had the original!“
“LoveLove love it!Whole family enjoy it.Grandma like it! OkSo.We love the original taste!I fully recommend this place.Service is great! The food came out just in time for all to enjoy.Dietary restrictions: Ask the Chef.Kid-friendliness: Got chair's.“
“Food is always, excellent. Been eating here for over 20 years. Never had a bad dish, only good stuff.Parking: No problem. Just pull right in. Also a to go window in back.Kid-friendliness: Very family friendly. Families meet here on a regular basis. Or tables of friends on a regular basis“
“I ordered a pizza, side of mushrooms and Caesar's salad. Overall, pizza was on the dry side. Crust was crispy and chewy. It could have had more toppings, but based on price point, I got what I paid for. Mushrooms were amazing and for the price, you get a lot. Caesar's salad? Don't waste your money. Doesn't look anything like the photo. Basically, lettuce with 10 small croutons. The parm cheese was from a can and not shaved. Definitely not worth $13. I would get another pizza from them, but would make my own salad.“
“Both the food and service here were excellent! We sat in the banquet hall and had a small range of food brought out. It was all very good. The sausage and potatoes were phenomenal, and the red sauce on the pasta was some of the best I've ever had. Would definitely revisit this restaurant.“
“I went with my family today for the first time. My family really likes Italian food, and we noticed that this restaurant tastes like no other! We’ve tried new things and we really liked EVERYTHING. The people were friendly and the portions were very big. The desserts are delicious!“
“The two slices & soda deal for $7 is perfect, its filling & actually tastes good . There’s not many places anymore that offer good food for a cheap price but that deal is definitely good quality pizza for a cheap budget . One slice is pretty filling on its own, the dough is really thick so it can definitely feed two people if you need it to . 2 slices for one person tho & trust me, you’re full for hours . Amazing deal, great quality pizza slices, I will definitely be ordering more often .“
“Their pizza is a tried and true Southside favorite. Thin crust, served on a grate/grill hovering over the pan so crust STAYS crispy. Harder to pull the slices, but worth it for each crispy bite. Sauce is on sweet side for those that prefer that. Very generous portions.We are used to getting this Pizza 'to go', and it is delicious that way, but if you want it to be fantastic?... get a table. OMG. Just incredible.“
“An Olive Garden is an Olive Garden. Admittedly, if you're eating in one in the Chicago area, it's probably a matter of convenience and price/familiarity. In my case it was both of those, and not having the time to find a top-shelf Italian restaurant. However, overall this is a better than average Olive Garden in my experience, hence the 5 star.Staff is very attentive, even when it is close to the closing hour. The food is timely in preparation. Nothing was wrongly prepared per the menu or specifications for an OG. When it was asked, they even paid attention to my "Please don't bring me extra bread. I don't know when to stop" request on the first statement, which I appreciate. (No, seriously, I don't. I could inhale their breadsticks in the dozens. I know they're not that good but I just can't help myself. Why do you few loyal readers think most of my reviews are restaurants? Hah.) Prices are exactly as you expect: $20-30 a head unless you're getting fancy.Atmosphere is solid for a small family gathering, and the layout is your standard OG, but it's kept clean and well maintained in all sections of the restaurant. So, if you're specifically looking for an OG (Which I am usually not, but sometimes you get what you gotta get), this one's worth keeping in mind when you're having that inevitable "Let's not go to THAT one. Let's go to the good one."This is the good one.“
“We booked the Calabria food truck to cater my brother’s engagement party with 80 guests and everything was perfect! We served three different sandwiches plus the homemade chips. The food was delicious. Many of our guests have told us they’ve visited Calabria since the party because they needed to have their sandwiches again! The truck brought a great ambiance to the party too - they played music, had nice lighting, and had a large chalkboard sign with a congrats message to the couple. Julia on the Calabria team was great to work with and answered all of our questions. The on-site team was attentive and had wonderful service. All around an amazing experience!“
“The food was good; the waitress was polite and attentive. The prices were okay. The restaurant is clean. The only thing I don't like, and it's not the restaurant's fault you have to pay for street parking. The business should complain to the alderperson about this.“
“JOE'S-A TRUE MOM+POP RESTAURANT! I am a purist when it comes to pizza. Cracker thin crust w/ mild homemade sauce + Italian sausage, top it w/ith a generous heap of mozzarella cheese, then cook it well done in an old school pizza oven. Walla - I present to you the most delicious thin crust pizza you will ever taste. Joe's Villa offers other fare but their pizza is my go to. And a large 14" pizza is under $20. If Reenie is your server, tell her Youraverage Gourmet says hello!“
“Went Saturday night for pizza. It's was amazing. The dough was homemade. Paper thin crust that is their specialty. The sauce is homemade. The cheese is rich. The place is run by a nice,hard-working Italian couple.Had a cold MillerLite. Doesn't get much better than this. PS The chicken parm is outstanding.“
“Very nice place. The gnocchi baked with cheese was excellent and really enjoyed it. The chicken picata and vesuvio potatoes we average. Could have used more flavor. More lemon on the chicken and more garlic on the potatoes. The bread was really good and fresh. I will come back and try other items. Overall it was a great experience. Highly recommend the gnocchi.“
“Great home made Mexican food and pizza also,got calzone that think was so big feed it 3 people,tacos also fresh and delicious,service outstanding,every time we get there we get something new from owner to try it,just great friendly place with great food !!!!!!!!“
“The pizza is really good! Moving forward I will not order anything else from here. Their mozzarella cheese is not good in their appetizers or the god mother sandwich. The sandwich felt like it was just a chicken tender in the bread with the mozzarella cheese.“
“The employees have been friendly every time I've gone! If u want a GREAT Buffalo chicken salad at a GREAT price......UH HUH!!!!$11.01 with tax!!CAN NOT get a fresher, customized salad ANYWHERE else for this price!!***THEY HAVE RED ONION!!! ?“
“1st time visitor and great experience. Rosario food is generally excellent but it’s the support staff that makes the difference. I got up from the bar and didn’t realize my wallet fell on the floor. Upon my return from the bathroom my wallet was on the bar waiting for me with a smile from the assistant GM.“
“Pizza was delish!!!! Thin crust was very thin but tasty! The only thing I would have liked to have seen was double the toppings but I understand due to inflation it’s probably not cost effective. Fries were fantastic too! Fresh and warm even by the time I arrived home from pickup. They also sell these cookies at the counter triple chocolate which were amazing! Will definitely return…5 stars! Staff were super friendly and place was clean.“
“Always have fresh and delicious slices during lunchtime hours. Pepperoni is quite popular so I advise to call to see if they have slices available before going. They can make a pepperoni pizza for slices by the time you arrive (15 mins)Also their lunch buffet is back open for dine in.“
“This is old school pizza. It’s very good. This is the type of place where you can throw the kids at one table with a pitcher of pop and a pizza while the adults drink pitchers of beer at another table. I miss old family restaurants like this.“
“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.“
“On a journey to the Village of Matteson to retrieve lost treasures, we stopped for sustenance of the Olive Garden. The kids were hungry, and I was tired. After an enjoyable meal, we ventured onward to find the lost treasure.Kid-friendliness: They had crayons and games for my kids.“

“A very good beef and sausage! Prices have increased $3 to $5 higher in the last two years. I doubt if they ever get lowered. Service is fast but no place to eat inside unless you want to stand at a counter. Outside seating is available but only 4 tables. It is purely takeout place. For a family of 4 your going to spend $45 to 50 for 4 regular beefs and 2 large fries.“
“Tried displace for the first time. The pizza was delicious. Had the sausage and pepperoni. Plenty of toppings! The sauce was perfect. It’s now become my favorite pizza place.!! They have so much to choose from! I’m going back to try some of the other menu items! The owner was there that evening very nice and friendly!“
“I am in no means an expert on Chicago Italian beef sandwiches. Stopped in on a cross country road trip. Wow,the sandwiches were great! Grab plenty of napkins and dig in. Mine had provolone and hot gardeneira,really kickin' sandwich. Can't wait to get back!Parking: Park out front and eat inside. Not the kind of sandwich for the car.“
“He started selling it a little cart outside of gas station in South Holland. Then he moved into the gas station. Denny open up his own business in South Holland. One of the best beef sandwiches I've ever had. The location and Thornton is nice. Very friendly very comfortable. I would recommend to anyone“
“Totally went above and beyond to help me out with a dietary restriction in my family never had a bad meal or bad serviceDietary restrictions: Went through the sodium levels with me and when I dine or take out they keep the fish away from my food very caring people“
“So far I've had their bacon cheese fries and a slice of cheesecake. The fries are crispy cheese and bacon are good. Large gives you a good amount to share. I definitely like the crispy fries. It makes me wanna try other things they have.“
“Daughter and I were visiting Illinois and craved Italian beef. This place didn't disappoint us. We also tried Grilled Chicken Sandwich and Turkey Hoagie. What can I say we were on a road trip ?Try and I believe you will enjoy their customer service and food.I will return during our next trip to Illinois.Parking: The Hoagie Place is sandwiched with other businesses and they all share the same parking lot which makes for difficult parking .“
“My hubby and I stopped in to get pizza and decided to dine in. There was plenty to choose from on the menu. Finally made our choices and OMG we both were extremely satisfied. Shockingly they make their own sausages with no casing OMG. Not only was the food magnifico but the host/owner Tony was awesome and the service was excellent. It was our first time there and Tony made us feel like we were part of the Italian family. The atmosphere there is so comfy and friendly and the prices are just right. We decided we will make Tony's a regular spot for us. We give Tony's 10 stars forget 5! We love it there!Vegetarian options: You can create your own pizza with no meat, pasta dishes with no meat, salads, fish and chicken dishes are available. There's even Calamari on the menu.“
“The dinner selections were varied and all looked delicious. There were options for light eating as well as a nice heavy meal. The food came out hot and everything tasted beautifully seasoned. Our server was delightful. The wine selection was not huge but it had something for everyone and we had a wine I had never heard of before. We will definitely be back.“
“We ordered a monster pizza Saturday nite..It was delicious!!We will definitely be ordering again soon..We were looking for another pizza place to ordered from..we were tired of the place near our house..So my husband looked around and said hey..did we try rosati's??Well we ordered way back in 2012 the man on the phone said..lolAnyway.. long story short..it was amazing..Thank you for a great pizza..“
“I enjoyed the beef polish. The steak burrito didn't have much flavor. The steak tasted greasy. I've had the same experience with the steak tacos. Not a fan of the fries but as a fry lover, I still ate them. Lol U can get a meal for a reasonable price.“
“This is the family place you wanna eat at. The food is really good. The wife and I fill up on the appetizers so often we have to get the main course to go. The soups, saganaki, zucchini and mushrooms are filling enough. But we still get a hot beef for tomorrow, knowing how good it is. The waitresses and owner are super friendly and make it a super enjoyable experience. But you can’t go home without dessert. Look in the case and you will find better than bakery treats! Take some with you cuz they are OUTSTANDING!“
“Fantastic barbecue ribs, twice baked potatoes and salad. Portions generous and staff was very friendly.Played bingo there and had a great time. Good place for meet ups with friends and family. Went there with a large group and it was a great atmosphere there.Good drink and meal specials.“
“I cannot say enough about Tinley for their service, customer satisfaction, anticipation for heavy crowds and how they run their business. They are just top notch. And the food is phenomenal!Vegetarian options: My son is a vegetarian and he says two thumbs up.“
“Omg this was our first time there Saturday and this pizza is so delicious ?. We ordered the thin crust chicken sausage and Jalapeno's. The pizza barely made it home!! Seasoned well nice crispy thin crust. Reminds me of Italian fiesta pizza. We will definitely be back. It's take out only. But if you wanna eat and watch the game it's connected to a cool bar. We had a couple drinks while waiting for our pizza. 9/10“
