50 Best Italian Restaurants near Mokena

“Love the atmosphere, the food and drinks...always awesome, however I recently find the professionalism of the staff to be lacking and what's with the dress code or should I say lack there of? Its not a sports bar...a bartender dressed in a Hawaiian Shirt with pineapples says I'm on the beach with Tome Cruise in the movie "Cocktail". Not what people expect to see in Balagios.“

“Once more- 5 stars reserved- but this is a great Pop's location. I love the beef/sausage combo and their burgers can't be beaten by the BIG chains. Grilled burgers, chicken parm, all great! Service is always fast & friendly, and the restaurant is kept very clean. Can't forget tp mention the Gyros & homemade soup & chili. ?

Parking: Lots of free parking.“

“My husband and I were visiting from Las Vegas. Even though we have a Giordano’s in LV, it tastes so much better in IL. I had originally made an online order (stuffed pizza) but realized I ordered just cheese and forgot to add sausage. How can you order a Giordano's stuffed pizza without sausage?? SMH. When I went inside to pick up our order, I had spoken with Mistie. I had explained to her my mistake and she informed me that I would have to purchase another pizza with sausage. I told her that it was my mistake and that was not a problem. Michele (manager) was also there and when I mentioned we were from LV, she said “you know we have a location in LV?” We mentioned we tried it there before but it never tastes the same. She stated it’s because of the water and climate. Which made perfect sense. Plus we were also bringing home a pizza for a friend, so wanted it to be correct. My husband had noticed that they had a freezer of frozen stuffed pizza and we had asked Mistie if she would recommend those over a fresh pizza. She mentioned that she would get someone from the back to answer that question. She and a gentleman by the name of Odis came back to the front. We had explained to him that we were going to bring the pizza home with us (to Las Vegas) and asked if a fresh pizza or a frozen one would be best, since we would have to freeze the fresh one anyways. Odis was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful advising that in our case it would be best to take home a frozen one (as they are made in IL) so it would taste the same as the fresh. Also, it would protect from any airborne illness (since the frozen one was already sealed.) Glad we had asked, as it made our decision easier and got the frozen. Odis definitely made our experience more enjoyable. Thank you so much for your generosity, Odis. We can’t thank you enough for turning my original mistake into something so much more memorable. When we are in town again, we will come visit this location again.“

“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.“

Service is always good.

“I had a great time here with hubby and my parents. My parents had never been here before and had fun listening to the old music while enjoying their meal. Our server Brian was very personable. I think he was the only server at that time. There was only two other families so he was ok. My only issue was that it was somewhat cool. I heard another customer say that he was on blood thinners and he couldn't be there too long. All-in-all a good time.“

Highly recromand this restaurant to any family and friends keep up the great work!“

“I never stopped here but passed it 100's of times. I just did not care for that Yellow Sign. I stand corrected, when you have pizza this ignorantly delicious you can have any color sign you like I get that now. If pizza gods existed and they got together this would be one of their stops. Bursting with flavor and freshness your taste buds will be firing with excitement in each bite. Always cooked perfect, high attention to detail is tasted in each pie. Pizza are round as they should be with perfect cuts... Great price point for the quality and freshness. owner is also always working and personable. Super easy in and out location. Business is very clean... The Picasso of Pizza!“
