He confirmed all of our choices for the day and was there for any questions that arose. Food was served hot and everyone was raving about how good it was. I would highly recommend hosting an event there.“

“Been wanting to try this place and it did not disappoint. Service was great and waiting time isn’t long, I would definitely recommend the Italian beef combo, and the Mexican grilled chicken sandwich if you’re looking for something more spicy. Overall fantastic experience and I highly recommend coming to Tony’s.“

“I've been a customer of Mary's since she first opened, hobbling around on a leg scooter with an injured foot her first couple of weeks in business! She has developed Caffe Milan into an absolutely incredibly delicious, dependable deli & catering service!

“I owe the Jullianni's family an apology. I've been ordering here since 2009 when I moved to Palos and the food is always great. I always get delivery and the food is always hot, on time, and delicious. On top of that, their prices are extremely resonable, especially in today's economy. I should gave given this place a 5 star review 15 years ago. Restaurants like this are rare these days. The Palos community is very fortunate to have a local place like Jullianni's“

“oh my goodness I found this pizza by chance at my local Meijer. Hands down best frozen pizza or any take and bake. The sausage was delightful and the Cheese was The Cheesiest ever it actually did the cheese stretch. Great Job it doesn't deserve the Bottom shelf“

“We came here as a large group of 15 and the staff did a great job setting up tables outdoors quickly to accommodate us. The pizza itself was very good, and we all enjoyed the food. Our server seemed fairly new but was really putting in the effort, which we appreciated.

The only downside was that someone nearby was smoking, which took away from the experience since we had a pregnant guest and four very young children with us. The Smoke-Free Illinois Act applies to all outdoor eating and drinking areas, making it illegal to smoke there if employees are present to serve food which they were. The staff did not enforce this law which we felt they should have. We hope management can train their staff on this issue and that the staff enforce it.

All in all it was a good outing and the place has a lot of potential for families and groups.“

“Excellent pasta bolognese! Wine selection is good & great staff.“

“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.“

“The young man, Erik, who waited on me was so very polite. its a rarity ro find someone as polite and easy going as he was. based on his great attitude alone the place gets 5 stars.“

“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.“

“Delicious food. A throw back to early Chicago pizzerias. Well maintained facilities. Great friendly service. Reasonable prices. Often overlooked when compared to other traditional pizzerias with commercial advertisement but Palermo’s holds its own against the best.“

“Came here last night (2-23-25) a couple hours before close. We had a group of about 10 of us. The food quality is whats expected when you go to Olive Garden. Im writing this review specifically to speak on how great the service was. I believe our waiters name was Nick M (at least according to the receipt) and he was fantastic - especially for us being a big-ish group coming in a bit late in the night. Nick was attentive, courteous, funny, and kind. He checked up on us and didn't forget a single item for anyone or make a single mistake! He was also overall very kind, which our table needed as we have been going through a rough time. Thank you, Nick, for your great service and spreading your kindness to some folks that really needed it 1000/10! You're a rockstar!“

“food was ready when i arrived staff greated me as soon as i walked in the employee on duty ( female ) did a great job even though it was the end of her shift seeing as staff switched shifts as soon as i arrived great service and food was exactly as i ordered this is the best location in chicagoland“

“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 !“

“EXCELLENT FOOD! Great service“

“Hosted a small dinner with family after a baptism and had a great time! The food was absolutely delicious, service was excellent, and the ambiance was very nice. We were seated in a semi-private area by the fireplace and had a dedicated cake and gift table supplied. The nearby bar was a nice feature too as it was Bears Sunday. Our menu consisted of minestrone soup, hot fresh bread, tossed salad, fried chicken, mostacolli bolognese, sausage and peppers, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and ice cream. The deal was unbeatable! Definitely will be coming again and possibly even catering bigger parties from there in the future. Thanks for a great party! All the guests very much enjoyed as well!“

“Excellent service delicious food there was a wait but you have the option stay or they will text you when your a
Table is ready. Great service waitresses and full staff will definitely be back."Also take out area is wonderful to:)“

“I absolutely love this Olive Garden location! The highlight of my visit was our amazing waitress – she was outstanding. Even though the restaurant was busy, she took such great care of us, made sure we had everything we needed, and even brought a kids’ menu for my child with so much patience. She truly made our dining experience special and enjoyable.

After the meal, she surprised us with delicious green mint chocolates, which my child loved so much that they asked to come back again next time. I’m certain this will become one of my favorite restaurants. The only downside is that it’s a 30-minute drive from my home, but it’s totally worth it. The food is delicious and affordable, the atmosphere is warm and comfortable, and every visit leaves me in a great mood. Highly recommend!“

Side note:I typically place a To-go order.“
