“It was a very positive experience beginning with the classic gin martini I ordered. Our server arrived with a chilled glass, a frosty shaker, and an olive and a lemon twist, as I requested. He proceeded to shake and pour, let it rest for a moment and then pour again. Ahhh...what a delicious beginning to a delicious meal with friends. I did not expect that kind of bar service at this moderately priced family-type restaurant. Very surprisingly enjoyable!“

“AMAZING!!!

Decided on a vacation week! Chose Berwyn due to its proximity to Chicago. Glad we did!

What a great community!

We stopped in around 5pm. Nice greeting! Quickly seated.

We started with the Bruschetta. Instantly knew we were in the right place! Grilled bread! Not to hard not to soft. Fresh ingredients, great flavor.

I chose the lamb chops. Holy Smokes! Best I’ve ever had and that’s saying something!! I don’t know how they did it!!?? Grilled! Breaded! Crunchy! Tender! Perfectly cooked. Broccoli perfectly! Served with potatoes that were a little crispy with big flavor!

My wife had the Crab Cake. It was huge! Loaded with crab and perfectly seasoned and fried. The sauce paired perfectly with this dish. She also had penne pasta in their Marsala sauce. Again, everything was fresh and amazing.

Ended it all with 2 desserts because why not!
Tiramisu….Amazing
Crème Brûlée…Amazing

We ate all over Chicago, this was our #1 favorite!

Thanks for a great meal! I’ll be dreaming about those chops!! 🤤🤤😃“

“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.“

“This neighborhood gem in Bridgeport was top notch on everything I've tasted here. Excellent food, excellent service and nice atmosphere. The flavor was just decadent. We started with some awesome Stuffed Clams. For the entrees we had Chicken Marsala, Chicken Parmigiano, Chicken Rositto with spinach. A beautiful meal was complete with desserts of Tiramasu, Gelato and Flour less Chocolate Cake. The experience ended with me in a totally blissful food coma. Thank you 😊 Gios!“

“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!“

“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“

“This place was awesome for airport food! The service was outstanding!

I had a one hour layover in midway, and my gate was in another concourse. I felt like it was a small gamble to eat there and make it across the airport in time. But the service was simply top-notch!

The food was good too! The chicken tenders felt like Costco chicken tenders, but they were prepared well. The best part? The chicken wings! Order that appetizer because you won't regret it! The wings were huge for chicken wings! Everyone one had a good deal of meat on them. Really impresses that those giant wings were hiding in an airport.“

“By far the best Italian place for breakfast,lunch and dinner !! The atmosphere here is the best from the cashiers to whoever serves you your food ! Ann Marie was the sweetest I came when I was 8 months pregnant and ate everything!! From a meatball sandwich to the chicken limón to everything else my husband ordered off the menu !! Ann Marie made me feel the best straight out of the hospital this day!! She gave me a good long list of baby names that I will appreciate forever !! I cannot wait until my baby boy gets a taste of this place !!! If I can rate this 10 stars I would ! ❤️“

“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!“

“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!“

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.“

“Ordered DoorDash...pick up. Pops sends text, order ready..
Yet my husband was in there for 7 minutes. Soups are not listed on online menu. Aka..DD.onion rings..mediocre...no crackers with soup and chili. Beef great..pepper sandwich..good. needs garlic..olive oil..burn then a tad.“
