“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 !“

“The food was amazing and our server John was hands down best we have ever had. Large portion sizes so plenty to take home. It was very loud in there due to larger parties. Unfortunately our table was directly across from the bathrooms which was gross and added to the traffic near table. Perhaps no table should be in that location. BUT food and service was great and would recommend!“

“We love your pizzeria and bar! Colleen was an amazing server! The food is delicious!“

“I happen to work in the area and the young lady name Pranavi I placed my order with was so kind to me. We dined in for lunch and then the manager Otis came out of no where and was also so helpful, he even helped wrap our food up with the biggest smile. 😊 I will most definitely be coming back thank you both!“

“Was the takeout order supposed to be thin crusted? And by time I got it home, it felt like it was double crusted and ugh, not totally cooked. So I'll hit that doughy in the bottom of the crust side of that, it was okay. Ended up eating most of the toppings off of it, but that was it.“

“I ordered the sausage deep dish for Valentine's Day (yes I am writing the review this late) and it was delicious and delightful. The cheese was flavorful, stretchy, and fresh. The tomato sauce tastes super fresh and it feels like Uncle Joe from Italy just came over to make it. Super good. Way better than the others. And don't get me started on that sausage. Very well-seasoned.“

“The food is solid.. one of the best browns I ever had . They have a dipping sauce for the gizzard here that I can't remember the name of but it's very good .. it's like popeyes sweet heat. Like ghost pepper sauce or something“

Best thin crust pizza we had in a long time .Absolutely done to perfection.Excellence of Food and cocktails were matched by exceptional service. Thank you Tony and Ritchie“

“Finally got to try an Italian beef sandwich, and it didn't disappoint.
Huge sandwich at a decent price. I barely had time to put my credit card back in my wallet that my order was ready 🤪.
The beef is juicy and delicious. I also liked the hot peppers. I had mine with extra american cheese but it didn't really add much, the beef speaks for itself.“

“From an Event Vendor/ Decorator this restaurant was very attentive to the customers and to me. I’d recommend to future clients 🍂 🤎- @myheartcarts“

“We were there Saturday for the Roman experience! Not bad there we’re 4 of us. We were celebrating a birthday! Spend $400.00 and you would think they would acknowledge the birthday! No not at all ! No acknowledgment all!!! But I have to say they did say happy birthday!! When we leaving!! What would it cost the restaurant to send a piece of cake over! Maybe 5.00 after we spent 400.00 No more celebration there I tell you!“

“If you like Italian food, you’ll love Bacchanalia! Located in the Heart of Chicago, this restaurant has some of the finest dishes outside of downtown Chicago, with arguably the best lasagna in the city, as well as some of the best calamari and baked clams, and not to mention the tiramisu. I heard they make other good pastas, some excellent chicken and veal dishes, as well as a phenomenal Lake Superior Whitefish, which I would love to try! There are many amazing Italian restaurants in Chicago, and Bacchanalia is one of them! Go try it! You won’t be disappointed!“

“I recently enjoyed the new lunch menu. The chicken parmigiana sandwich had a huge chicken breast on a wonderful ciabatta roll. It was truly delicious. I’m looking forward to exploring the huge lunch menu.“

“Pyszne jedzenie, miła obsługa bardzo pozytywna atmosfera. każdemu z czystym sercem polecę. owoce morza pychota. Bywam prywatnie i z grupami i każdy wraca zadowolony“

“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“

“We love your pizzeria and bar! Colleen was an amazing server! The food is delicious!“

“Mattone ‘s hits the mark each time we are there. Casual dining that offers a variety of main entrees and pizzas. We had the special on New Year's Eve which was a creamy mushroom chicken Marsala which was absolutely great. Tina is a great server and the rest of the staff is very attentive. We choose to eat here because it good food, great service and friendly owners. Stoned fired pizzas and sandwiches add to the variety of food options. Neighborhood favorite !!“

“Chicago Midway airport. Stopped for a beer and a quick bite to eat. They were friendly and fast and even put my order in a to go container per my request in case I had to leave quickly or couldn't eat it all. I had a 16oz Moody Tongue Here's to Harry IPA, perfectly chilled and delicious 😋. I also had the Blue Cheese Holy Cow Chips. They were good, but too much Blue Cheese for my taste. I only ate about half and then had to board. I took the rest with me, but didn't end up eating them. Jorge provided great customer service. Reasonably priced. The beer was a little pricy, but expected.“

“The food was excellent. We were a party of 6 and everyone had something different. Portion sizes were large. Food was piping hot when served. Wait staff was friendly. The owner came over to check on our group at least twice during our dining experience. Loved the atmosphere. I will come here every time I’m visiting Chicago!“

“The food is good but what I love the most is I was in the driveway waiting for my food and my car died on me so it was very embarrassing and I had cars behind me and I couldn’t move because my car wouldn’t turn on three of the staff members came out to help push me into the street!! They are literally awesome. Awesome awesome thank you so much guys.“

“Finally treated ourselves - not disappointed!! Hubby got the chicken piccante & I had the chicken marsala - both were excellent! The pasta fagioli was so good we got a quart to take home. The service and atmosphere were also great - we will definitely be back!!“

“Great happy hour at the bar with delicious drinks and terrific, filling small plates. Bartender was super friendly with fantastic service.“

“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.“

“I just did a catering order for 250 people at a company event yesterday. The food was delivered on time and everyone loved it. This is a great place to consider for catering.“

“We love Olive Garden! Everything that We have ever ordered is very tasty. I like the Minestrone Soup and My Wife loves the Salad and endless Bread Sticks. The Orland Park Restaurant is one of Our favorite ones. Whenever We are out this way it's hard not to stop in for a awesome lunch or dinner. No left overs this time. Lol!!!“

“A delivery app made a mistake with my order. LaBarra took charge and the general manager personally delivered 2 delicious pizzas to make up for the outside apps mistake. Above and beyond! Thank you!“

“My sister Shelly Nagy purchased tickets to a Sunday afternoon drag brunch to celebrate my birthday! Marco not only held the door open for his guests, but he was also very kind and generous! He offered 2nd helpings (my only regret is that I did not indulge on that offer). Our meal was plentiful, delicious and presented beautifully! The bartenders cocktails (garnished w/ fresh flowers!) are pure elegance and his customer service skills are excellent! The drag show was a blast! The music was a hit (inside and out) and the upscale atmosphere will always have me anxiously waiting to come back soon! Thank you Marcos & Shelly for the most wonderful birthday celebration anyone will ever dream of! Gorgeous Downtown LaGrange is lucky to have Marco’s Kitchen! Take me back already!“

“This was my Family’s first time here, and we celebrated Thanksgiving. Jessica was our waitress. She did an excellent job and service to 9 of us. We also thanked her for coming in on a Holiday, with a great attitude. The food was delicious and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Thanks to the hostess who gave us a warm welcome.“
