This place is a must. The lasagna superb. The stuffed peppers are fantastic. Authentic Italian deli when you walk in you are greeted with friendly staff and samples that say welcome. Don't miss the cookies near the register. They're so good.

The sauce sucks here. I’d rather have RAGU.

Family run Italian food place. If you haven't been you have to go. Each meal is as good or better as home cooked. And the people there are friendly and welcoming to everyone.

Best lasagna I've ever had in my life! I always over eat and spend way to much because I want everything. The owners are super friendly as well.

Edit 6 years later: seems like since Anthony has taken over the recipes have changed... Favorites are no longer the same and it was subtle at first - I'm actually going to be throwing some away because they're that bad.... The end of an era.
My family comes in here as often as possible and everytime its such a warm welcome and I feel like I'm visiting family. ♥️

I have never ordered from Rex before today. I picked them based on their pictures on Door Dash. Their Italian Sub looked so delicious. I have done this many times with places and not been satisfied. This sandwich went beyond my imagined expectations. I will be ordering it again. My friend also ordered a meatball sib and she was beyond pleased as well.

My wife and I, took a drive to my old neighborhood yesterday. My Mom, and many of our neighbors, had shopped at Rex's, many years ago, so we decided to stop and buy a few things. I asked the owner, if the sausage was still the same great recipe, from the 60's. He gave us a sample of the mild with fennel seed, and it sure was just as good! So we bough two rings of sausage, some Romano cheese and two arrancini balls, which we had for dinner. Mushrooms, and eggplant!! They were really good. Was a great trip and brought back a lot of good memories!

We ordered the Caprese Grilled Panini which came paired with a bag of chips, and a 12” Italian Sub. Both sandwiches were outstanding 🔥 Friendly and Welcoming staff too. Definitely come here ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very rude people. Was my first time bringing my wife but they would never know that because they don’t care. They have the attitude that “we’re already established”. Not with my family and since you didn’t care to know the family that was coming to eat at your restaurant then u get 1 star across the board, especially since I threw up the grilled calamari. DO NOT ORDER THE GRILLED CALLAMARI SALAD. unless u want to chew on a rubber shoe. Absolutely BS for an Italian fine foods place. lol dog water
One of the best prosciutto sandwiches in all Of Chicagoland.
Puppers Policetti
Ordered a few calzones (pepperoni and sausage) and they were ok. The bread-to-filling ratio was more bread-heavy than actual sauce, cheese, and meat. The flavor was good, despite the lack of filling inside. They were honestly a bit of a slight disappointment, as I was expecting better after seeing all of the positive reviews and publicity. Gonna have to give their other menu items a try and hope for a more fulfilling experience. The service was good and the interior was clean and tidy and sported some neat, quaint Old World Italian decorations. There are plenty of tables and seating to go around, both inside and outside Rex. Overall - good service, cool ambiance, but the calzones were a swing and a miss. Cheers.

First time customer, I bought a sub sandwich from them because of their reviews. The meat was rancid, I have not been back ever since.
