“My friend and her husband were visiting from North Carolina, and wanted to try deep dish pizza before they headed back. They were going to try one place, but it wasn't open at the time they wanted to eat lunch, so we went here instead. We each got the lunch deal that included a personal size pizza and a side. We chose the Parmesan and garlic fries for the side, and it was delicious! The pizza was good, my friends liked it, but we were blown away with the fries! Endless refills and the lunch had us waddling out of the restaurant. Our waitress was very friendly and on top of everything, we didn't need to ask for anything. I wish I could remember her name, but it was 5 days ago, and I just can't temember. But she was awesome and I only hope my friend tipped her well.“
“The best pizza in town!! This location is under new management. You can definitely tell there was a new sheriff in town. Lol. The food is spectacular!!! My family and I always order a large, well done, sausage and cheese, pineapple, spinach, and mushroom pizza. Absolutely delicious!!! The pizza is made to perfection every time. And it's always hot at pick up. I recommend this pizza spot to anyone.“
“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!“
“We were warmly greeted by Chelsea when we arrived. We were seated at a cozy table toward the back of the restaurant. Frank Sinatra music was playing in the background. Our waitress Melissa brought us water to the table with the days specials. There is a good wine & cocktail selection. We started with the shrimp & calamari along with truffle fries for an appetizer. The shrimp & calamari were cooked perfectly while seasoned with the right amount of oil and garlic. The truffle fries garlic aoli sauce was very good, not overpowering. For dinner, we had chicken parmesan served with penne pasta as the side. The portion size was big. The chicken was cooked well, not overloaded with sauce and the right amount of cheese. The other dish order was the risotto of the day, shrimp & grape tomato. Highly recommend the risotto. It was cooked perfectly with big delicious shrimp mixed in with the risotto. As delicious as it was, room was being saved for dessert. Not many restaurants serve flourless chocolate cake, but Frankie's 1988 does. It is served with a carmel sauce, pecans, and vanilla gelato. I have had many flourless chocolate cakes in my life, and none compare to the one made at Frankie's. It is dense, almost like dark chocolate fudge that just melts in your mouth. They also have canolis, tirimisu, and an assortment of gelato. The staff was so nice, checking on us throughout our dinner, ensuring we were never out of water. Frankie introduced himself to us as we were leaving. We had to tell him how amazing the risotto was today. Frankie said that their kitchen is a scratch kitchen and will gladly make items not on the menu if the kitchen has the ingredients. Frankie's 1988 is a 5 Star restaurant nestled in a strip mall in Tinley Park.Dietary restrictions: Many gluten-free and vegetarian options are available.“
“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.“
“I’ve been going to Ottimo’s for several years now. Loved the restaurant but The quality and overall experience has been changing. The quality of the food isn’t there so much, the portions have gotten a bit smaller and there are always new servers, that need more training. Not sure if there’s new owners or mgmt but definitely a change. A couple years ago I would’ve given Ottimos a 5/5 but now it’s about half of that as a rating. Last night went for dinner with the family- the bread that was brought to the table was more like croutons because it was over cooked and somewhat hard, it should have never been served. We asked for more bread and the server came back to the table and said not much longer it’s coming out of the oven now. 10mins later he came to the table and asked if we needed anything I mentioned the bread and he said if yeah let me check. The server asst came to refill water and asked if we needed more bread m, I said yes please. Well after all that the bread never came. The O/O on the table tasted stale, or maybe a cheaper brand than normally served. One ordered the walleye special in lemon butter sauce, the sauce was a dark color tasted a bit burnt, very expensive for the size of the piece that was served and served with nothing else. Usually served with risotto- can suggest a side of pasta or even a side salad. Was not worth it. We ordered bruschetta- was bland, and again whom ever was cooking the bread toasted this bread to a crostini. Was very excited when Ottimos opened, loved that it was very close to traditional Italian food, and local (without having to drive to the City to Little Italy)! But sadly I do not feel the same so much lately. Bring back the way you use to be when first opened! Would love to visit that again!“
“Aldolpho was our server and he did a great job. He was pleasant and accommodating. We had the chicken sausage and hot peppers pan pizza it was good. The BBQ wings were cooked to perfection. The staff sang happy birthday ? and was extremely enthusiastic. We had really good timeKid-friendliness: Extremely kid friendly take the whole family and enjoy some quality pizza and above average cocktails“
“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!“
“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!“
“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..“
“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!“
“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“
“The Italian party sub we ordered was awesome! We ordered a 2 foot sub and were told you get like 7 pieces per foot of sub.... We thought perfect for a 10+ person party when there was a bunch of other dishes for the party.... but then we get it.... HUGE!!! Really like a super wide 3 footer to feed more than we intended! Huge!!!! And... so good! Definitely a do again!“
“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“
“Delicious food and great service, phenomenal neighborhood and area, very upbeat & energetic environment, which is awesome to have in Downtown Frankfort! All staff is fantastic and extremely friendly always! Francesca's does an amazing job across the board!“
“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.“
“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 .“
“We have been fans of Italian Villa Pizza for years. We had out of town family come in and they requested Italian Villa Pizza. Our order was correct, it was ready exactly at the requested pick up time and of course, as always, was tasty and delicious. Our Pizza Friday Night was a success thanks to everyone at Italian Villa Pizza. Highly recommended.“
“10/10!!! I’m fairly new to the neighborhood and I was very hungry after getting off work and I decided today would be the day I finally try the restaurant I ride past often! I ordered a chicken Philly and it was soooooo delicious! I came back to my car to wait on my order and talk with my husband and while waiting, one of the employees was kind enough to bring my food to the car!!! Sooo thoughtful and unexpected. I will def be back and I cannot wait to try the pizza!“
“I wish this place would do some elementary weather stripping! The drafts on cold day reduces the habitable tables to only about half of those in the room, depending on the wind direction. This is so obvious a easy fix I have personally suggested to the management and the problem exists!! I guest I will wait for warm weather!!“
“Beautiful night out for a NYE dinner here. Reserved in advance for a party of 6 and still had to wait about 30 minutes once we arrived, but no biggie. We were not in a hurry. Service was fantastic as was the food. Our entire party loved their food and appetizers. Loved the fresh warm bread during dinner. Very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended. Enjoy!!!“
“Today we ate here at a little after 1:00pm. The food was good, the place clean but the one gentleman who was working was probably one of the best employees that I’ve ever seen. He was very pleasant, kind, helpful, served the food, got us anything we needed, checked on us, cleared the dishes from the table, and we left wished us a nice day. I didn’t get his name, but he was a tall, thin black man who surely made our day. Great job Sir!!!“
“Wow! My husband and I decided to get the jalapeno Mac n cheese as a appetizer, it is sooooo good i love all those green onions, it was the perfect amount of everything! Not too spicy either, spinach manocotti was perfect with the right amount of sauce to last every bite! Skipped dessert til later...but we reserved a whole homemade banana cream to go, Every visit I make sure to take it home! Thank you for another delicious meal and excellent service!Vegetarian options: Spinach manocotti, pastas marinara, fried zucchini and mushrooms, salads, eggplant Parmigiana“
“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.“
“Wife had spinach and egg fettuccine and said it lacked flavor. I had the veal piccata which was very good. I'd order that again for sure. We split a small Caesar salad which was very good as well. Excellent service and reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere.“
“I love aurelios, this one has a beautiful facade and interior. It's has a welcoming family feel and it's always a positive environment. The staff is friendly and like always their pizza is delicious. I'd highly recommend the lunch buffet it's a great price with salads, soups, and I think rotating dishes. When we went it was friend chicken, Italian beefs, and Alfredo pasta. Side note: the Italian beef here is surpringly good, definitely the best in the area worth it to go just for that.Vegetarian options: Cheese pizza, mushrooms, spinach, and of course plenty of salad and pasta options.Dietary restrictions: They're really good about getting their orders right, just mention while you order.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“We walked in at closing time, but they made pizza for us even though it would mean staying open late.The man that took our order could not have been more likable. The pizza was amazing. And it remained hot until we got back to our hotel 15 minutes away. The price is reasonable. 5 stars all the way around.“
“As always a wonderful experience! We went out to dinner to celebrate my mom’s birthday dinner. Todd our server was phenomenal from start to finish!!! Our food was so good! Antipasto salad, baked ziti, and the rigatoni! We finished with a brownie sundae which was heaven! Todd was extremely friendly, attentive, and great! Highly recommend. Can’t wait for our next visit!“
“A hidden gem! The interior of the restaurant is so surprising and delightful when you enter. We ate near the fireplace. We started with their house salad and homemade crusty warm bread - great beginning! Husband had Chicken Parmigiana and I had Chicken Chantel - both were truly delicious. Excellent service. Reasonable prices.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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 .“
“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.“
“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“
“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..“
“First time at Little Joe's. I had a birthday dinner for my son. We had 5 adults and 2 kids, we ordered pizza, and a few different dinner items. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was amazing. Can't wait to go back.Kid-friendliness: I have 2 toddlers, grandchildren. The waitress was very accommodating and so friendly and sweet .“
“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.“
“I used to live down the street from the Glenwood location and we ate Arrenellos Pizza all the time. I LOVE the sweet sauce. I now live in Fort Worth and make it a point to go get Arrenellos pizza anytime I go back to Chicago and if I have to, will bag it and bring it home in my suit case! Great blend of flavors with the sweet sauce and the outstanding sausage and cheese. Rich has created a Chicago legend in my tastebuds! Just wish I could get it shipped on a regular basis because there is NOTHING like it here in Texas!“
“Today we ordered a pizza and it was great. We opted for pepperoni instead of sausage and added mushrooms, olives, and green peppers. The crust was wonderful and reminiscent of neopolitan pizza with nice air bubbles and crunchy edges. The toppings were plentiful and fresh. It's nice to have a local pizzeria with a great product. Thanks Bambinos.“
“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.“
