“Idk who voted this the best restaurant but it lived up to its name.The mozzarella sticks were fried to perfectionThe side salad was delicious, it tased like it was picked from the garden of EdenThe pizza was ok the cheese & toppings slid off easily my but it tasted good.The pasta was comfortingAnd our server Ana V was a delight. A highlight of our dinner experience and made us feel right at home. Give her a raise.“
“Vegetarian options: They have pizzas they have sandwiches they have appetizers that vegetarian, and again they will be commentating to anything that you like.Dietary restrictions: They are very accommodating for everyone in that restaurant. I used to go there for years and I am a vegetarian. (I moved)Parking: Always have space to find in the parking lot and handicap spaces toKid-friendliness: Everyone is so friendly and very appropriate.“
“First time trying this pizza... Not disappointed! Ordered an XL thin crust half adult and half kid-friendly pizza and it was really good. Loved the sauce and the toppings all tasted really fresh. We ordered the fried mushrooms and they were cold (which is why the 4 stars). But we popped them in the air fryer for a few minutes and they were just fine. The ranch that came with it was pretty good too. Overall price was great for the quality of pizza. I looked up the special schedule and we'll definitely try the double dough or pan pizza next time. Seems like they definitely do pizza right but maybe not some other things..? Might try a pasta dish next time and update my review. My BF grabbed a couple brownies when he picked it up and they were SO YUMMY! Super gooey but also very very sweet. I love that texture of brownie but I just can't eat that much sugar - one bite was definitely enough for me to enjoy the flavor of it haha. My kiddos and BF enjoyed it all though! We'll be back since it's so close and a great price for good pizza.“
“We were a party of 7, had a 5:00 reservation. As usual the service was fine and the food was great. From lasagna to the special (ravioli with beef filling and a meatball) everyone's food was served hot and delicious. Desserts were great too! I had a marvelous tiramisu and others had their great lemonchello cake. My only concern was for 7 people they should have brought us 2 loaves of bread instead of 1. Plus no EVOO and parmesan were not offered for the bread.“
“Brian was amazing! He was so personable and hilarious. I’m grateful for his sincere kindness and exceptional service. His efforts truly transformed my evening out with my aunt into a phenomenal experience! We will be back solely because of him.“
“First time here and I will drive an hour to come back. There’s a cute little Crystal Life store around the corner you must check out for those negative vibes.Anyhoo I had the Scottish Salmon and I have to say its top 3 on my list now. I’m a true food connoisseur and earned the right to say that.“
“Was our anniversary. The food was awesome. Best calamari I've ever had. The owner checked on us often. Service was outstanding. Even though it was an hour drive, it was worth it. On the way home we discussed how often we will come back. Would highly recommend as an outstanding Italian restaurant.“
“Garrett, our server was great from the moment we sat down. He helped us decide what to order, made sure our beverages were delivered (not 21), and expedited the kitchen when my pizza came out wrong! The salads and pizzas (all ordered lunch specials) were outstanding.“
“Exceptional. Sicilian-Italian food like it was home made! The bruschetta was fresh and exciting. The bread was home made. I had tortellini, The Wife had gnocchi.We pretty much stumbled onto this place, looking for good Italian food in St Charles, and boy! What a great stumble!Small, no-frills. Just exceptional food.We will be back!“
“The best food I’ve had in the area since moving out 2 years ago from the West. Local food options in the Dundee, Algonquin, Crystal Lake, McHenry area have been very disappointing. This has been the standout. We got the Tuscan Fires as an app, sausage and mushroom pizza, and rosemary sausage pizza. All were excellent.“
“The food is really good. First visit had the Rocketman Pan Pizza. which is more like a thick flat bread. Very tasty. The Chorizo Stuffed Dates were amazing. Second visit tried the Nonna's Sunday Pie Pan Pizza, extremely spicy!!Cons:(1) Lack of Ice. You get No ice with your water and maybe 3 small cubes in your cocktail. We have learned the first thing we order is two tall glasses of ice to add to all our drinks.(2) Services is so so. You don't see your waiter much. After you order, someone else brings your food. Nobody ever checks on you after that!! So if you need another drink, napkin, silverware, anything . . good luck.We will give it one more try. If the service is not better then we won't be back. You can get good food a lot of places, so service is a MUST.“
“The food here is awesome, the service here is usually great. Tonight though, our server carleigh was exceptionally horrible. It started out fine even though I could easily tell she had been drinking for what seemed like the entire night based on the fact that when she was looking at you, she was moreso looking through you. That, and the fact that she had to pause every few seconds to remember what she was just saying. All of that taken into account, my partner and I laughed it off.When I noticed both serving plates on the table were dirty, I politely let her know “hey, I understand this happens, but these plates are dirty. Do you mind if we replace them?” ……she then proceeded to pick up the plates and say “how are they dirty”Hahahaha okayAfter that she probably saw our table two last times, one being for the check.She then proceeded to have us waiting for 6-7 minutes for her to come BACK and grab the card from us —so her busser had come by and done it for her. When she finally came to grab the check, she literally non-verbally signaled for the card with her hands in the air and finally goes “the card?”Look- if you’re going to drink on the job, make sure you’re a functioning, kind drunk.Pasta was great.“
“Been coming to this place for 25 years. Had many celebrations and lovely memories with family and friends. Dino and son truly care about people. Their passion is in customer service, but most of all, they’ve carried down recipes from generations. The sausage here is made from scratch. The pizza has only the freshest ingredients. Try the Penne Abruszezzie ?). Fresh ground sausage with red tomato sauce and penne pasta. I load on the fresh Parmesan. My favorite since 1999. But price was $12.99 then if I’m not mistaken. Tirimisu is also made fresh and so good.“
“I'm 100 percent Sicilian who was raised on the south side of Chicago. After moving to the suburbs I could never find a pizza that could match good south side Chicago pizza until I had yours. Unfortunately I don't live near by so I only get it when I visit my friend who lives in Bartlett .“
“I met my parents here the other day as we both traveled some distance to meet up. This restaurant was absolutely wonderful atmosphere, small & quiet when we were there. I believe we had their lunch menu, and I ordered the Capellini pasta, my dad got Eggplant Parmesan, and my mom got the Italian Beef. Unfortunately I would suggest the entire staff of the restaurant needs to eat that same sandwich my mom ordered. She said it was dry & had no flavor, as if they boiled the fatty meat in plain water and threw it onto a crispy piece of bread. Thankfully she said something(my mom has never sent food back my entire life and I’m in my 20’s she’s in her 60’s) so for her to ask it to be removed from the bill just shows how gross it was.Our server was WONDERFUL, and of course she took it off the bill, and encouraged my mom to order another dish. She settled on the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli. She was throughly pleased with that dish, so it all ended well.The restaurant seemed cleaned and well managed other than maybe their Italian beef haha.Advice for future customers, don’t order their beef unless they change their recipe.Advice for the restaurant, PLEASE have a tasting going on for your staff members. The person who creates/created the recipes and cooks them needs to allow constructive criticism/feedback on their dishes. It really helps your staff;A) know your food betterB) allows for more ideas to help your kitchen/staff blossomWould definitely come back here again due to the wonderful service and delicious pasta!“
“Our first visit was a hit! Our waitress was a joy. The ambience was very nice. The burratta appetizer started the meal off perfectly. Totally enjoyed the panzanella salad with ciabatta bread. The white fish and filet medallions were also super. Finished with flourless chocolate cake that was decadent. We will definitely be back!“
“Been a Rosati’s customer for 25 years using several different locations And I gotta say, I think this is the best location. I don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed in any of the food. Everything has always been on point. Especially the pizza. I’ve had great wings, pasta, salads, desserts and appetizers too. I have done catering here and everything was great especially the fried chicken.“
“Friday night is always pizza night in my house. My daughter loves coming to the "pizza store" with me to pick up our order...she's treated like a little celeb there and we love it. This past Friday was no different, so I wanted to give a shout out to the chef for making my little girl's night. We stopped in to pick up our order but forgot to ask for our free cheese. The store was bumpin' and while I didn't want to wait 15 more mins, I didn't want to be a burden on the kitchen. The chef saw I was with my daughter, and asked if the cheese was for her. When I told him it was, he simply nodded and went back into the kitchen. He came back out with my order, and 2 massive slices of cheese for my daughter. Not only is the food delicious, but service like that is why we go back. Thanks everyone!“
“Co-worker mentioned to try out the Boss's Signature. We decided to try it out and we are so glad we did!! Two of us had the ribeye and two had the corn beef and cabbage. For dessert we tried out the cheesecake and key lime pie. All the food was absolutely delicious! Was very impressed that the owner Gino came to our table to see how everything was!! You don't find that much these days. Wonderful people, atmosphere, good service and great food.....what more can you ask for. Already discussed that this may be our new go to place. Looking forward to trying out their breakfast menu.“
“Linguine Scampi Aglio Olio and Pollo alla Limone were delicious. Placed a pick up order with Doug who was very pleasant and helpful. Cary out even included bread and butter w oil/herb dip. Very tasty. Again, Doug had outstanding customer service! Highly recommend“
“Small pocket of deliciousness brought to you by genuine Italian family with friends. The delicate taste of caprese with homemade bread was scrumptious. Fried & baked panzerotti:The bread was soft, the cheese was ooey gooey & the tomato sauce was fresh and earthly. None of that canned salty sauce. Definitely must try more when we visit again. Forgot to take picture of the shrimp & broccoli linguine but also light & flavorful. You must try“
“This was an unexpectedly pleasant experience! Fantastic friendly service, The food, exquisite and oh SO MUCH FOOD! we have enough for two more meals with the leftovers. The minastone soup, not afraid of the spice.. Perfect. The music.. Classic coroners! Very quaint and not stuffy. Great family atmosphere!! We will visit again!!“
“I've always been a fan of deep-dish pizza, having grown up in the Midwest, but now having lived in the south for decades. Life has brought me back to the Midwest, and to the mecca of deep-dish pizza, Chicagoland. So of course in the first few days of moving into the Geneva, IL area, I had to find pizza. Deep-dish pizza. Piled high with meat and cheese, weighing a pound per slice, forced to eat it with a fork. They do call it a "pie" after all, and I've never tried to "fold" or eat any other pie with my fingers...so why should a "pizza pie" be any different??? Yelp sent me to Charlie Fox's as a close-by option, and it didn't disappoint. Ordering over the phone I told the employee I wanted "deep-dish" and he said, "You know we do 'pan' pizza. Is that going to be okay?" After confirming it would still be an inch think, I doubled-up on both the meat and cheese. I was told 30 minutes. I arrived just a couple of minutes early, so the wait was minimal. These things can't be rushed, after all. In the meantime I looked around the small, unassuming shop. Just a couple of tables, but the two guys working behind the counter were friendly and helpful. I was told to make sure to hold on to the coupons that came with my pie, and when I told the man working the counter that I had just moved into the area and it was my first time there, he made sure my order was right. Even another customer, watching them cut and box my order said, "Wow...that looks good." I wasn't disappointed. Hot, with gooey delicious mozzarella clinging to every slice, the dough cooked just perfectly chewy, my partner and I gobbled down multiple slices. I'll definitely be going back. The service and food were both top notch, served out of a basic but clean shopfront! Five stars!!!“
“Went on a busy night but still great service and two great sandwiches, a corned beef sandwich and the St Charles (turkey, bacon and avocado). I appreciate that they were willing to make my sandwich as a wrap, too! Lots of fun options for sandwiches. Very short walk from the public parking lot north of 64.Parking: Just north of 64 and West of the shop are a few free public lots.“
“I have been here twice. 1st time I had the burger and it was very good. This time I had the cheesy beef with a side of giardiniera, au jus for dipping, marinara and a small fry. The beef is definitely home made and probably on of the most tender beefs I've ever had, great flavor, just awesome! The Giardiniera is home made and has the perfect amount of heat, marinara sauce is very good too. The fries are fresh cut and also very good. Don't let the look on the outside fool you. It's not your average fast food place. It's way above that. I will be back to try other menu items.“
“Yeah, you might spend a bit more than at some national chain place, but Salerno's is the RealDeal. Fantastic Italian, - straight forward, fairly simple dishes done very well, and my (Italian Mother) would have loved this restaurant... many items seem like what she would have made.Huge portions so you can take home lunch tomorrow.Nice wine list we thought.My first time here, and we will definitely come back!Highly recommended for real, family ish Italian food.Parking: Just pull on, and look around!“
“Out of all the pizza places in the area, this is the only place I'll even go to anymore. Most consistently good pizza and service, all the employees are super nice, and there always seems to be some sort of special going on. The parking lot is kind of small, but hasn't ever been an issue.Parking: Lot is kind of small, although I've never had a problem finding a spot, it does feel a bit cramped.“
“A great bar/restaurant located in Winfield near CDH. Fun and friendly atmosphere, attentive staff, delicious food, and good vibes all around.They have now added Cup Pong every Friday night starting at 10 pm as well.Whether you are kicking back after a long week at work, need a cold drink and a bite to eat, or want to go out with the family or your special someone, Caliendos is the place to be.“
“This was our first visit to this charming Italian restaurant situated in downtown St. Charles. Our waiter, Abraham, provided excellent and warm service. The restaurant possesses a pleasant ambiance and is meticulously clean. I opted for white sangrias along with the cozze Alla marinara and cozze gratinate. My husband ordered the grilled calamari and Linguine Adriatico Fruti Di Mare accompanied by a red sangria. This establishment truly impressed us with its exceptional and delightful choices. We highly recommend this place and will undoubtedly return in the future!“
“Excellent all the way around! We were in from Michigan visiting family and enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Aliano's. Great service, beautiful patio area that opens up to an herb garden in the summer! We will have to come back to have the summer garden experience. A+“
“Nice Klien restaurant but often I'm ordering out. The service is quick and attentive. I don't believe I've ever had an order come incorrectly from them and the best most fresh calamari ever! Haven't found an item there that we didn't love.“
“I cannot rate the atmosphere, because we ordered for delivery. We ordered a 16 inch, thin crust pie for dinner. The estimated time was 45-60 minutes, but it arrived in 25. It was hot and delicious, and we will order again.Parking: If it's busy, you are going to have to walk a bit from your car, unless you are just picking up your order. Most people just pull up to the curb for that and run in. I always park, so I am out of the way, and at dinner time I have to park in the lot across from the building.“
“I was there last night for the first time for a birthday party. The service was wonderful, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was very nice. I took at peek at the outdoor dinning and it looked so nice and what a view! The bartenders were fabulous! They had karaoke there last night too. Oh, and if you like carrot cake or cheese cake, (I’m sure all the desserts are just as delicious) save room for dessert! I will definitely be coming back.“
“Returned to this restaurant last night,with more of my family. I wanted them to experience the food, service, and ambiance of this great restaurant. We were not disappointed at all, the friendliness staff to take care of us. The food is just outstanding and you receive enough to take home. There special bread is to die for, always have to take some home. If your in the Carol Stream area you must have lunch or dinner here. I promise you will becoming back there again. And thank you Tino Malo, the manager there for always checking on us and making sure everything was fine. I and my family are very happy customers,be seeing you again soon.“
“Drive through for lunch. Food was good, got the beef and Italian sausage combo. Making an Italian beef is an art form, Getting the proper meat to juice ratio in the bun is key. Halfway through the sandwich, it fell apart. Didn't affect the flavor, just made for a mess in my lap.“
“Ordered a simple cheese pizza with breadsticks and was blown away. Pizza was so fresh and delicious, breadsticks were perfect but the sauce…..the sauce! The sauce for the breadsticks needs to get bottled up and sold!This place deserves 10 stars!Super cool staff, made my order perfect!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
Pizza • $$
“Do you want a delicious pie? How about a burger and fries? This pizza shop has stood the test of time in this neighborhood, and for good reason. I haven't tried a menu item that didn't taste good! No dine in options, however you can venture next door with your meal, and enjoy a beverage too boot.“
“Been awhile since we have been herePro...pastas were decent and hot, bread sticks were warm, service was good our waitress had to do it all , took the order brought the salad and bread sticks, then the food then boxes and dessert , apparently short handed but effort did not go unnoticed..Con...salad was saturated from sitting in the fridge...Italian sausage was way way over priced for the size ( see pictures)But over all decent dining experience.“
“We have been ordering take out food from Papa Saverio's in Elgin for 25 years. We usually order the thin crust pizza and chicken wings. The pizza is our favorite in Elgin and tastes like the Chicago style pizzas we grew up on. It has a very good sauce and a crispy crust. Our out-of-town kids miss this pizza and they order it every time they come back to Elgin.“
“THE BEST Deep Dish pizza ever!! We’ve been ordering here since it was Jake’s Pizza. We live out of town now, but every time we go to Elgin or anywhere in that area…. We ALWAYS have to stop to get a deep Dish sausage to bring home! Keep up the excellent work Mel’s Pizza! I give them a 10 + stars.“
“taylor street wasco is right down the street from our house. the burgers and pizza are to die for. it depends on the location you go to and their corresponding quality. they recently gave me a full credit for a burger that was overdone and missing toppings and i got a full replacement and it was amazing. we'll be back regularly as patrons! try the double burger with bacon, cheddar, and an egg! it's very rich.“
“Good food and excellent service!! We had a very friendly waitress and a young lady saw my wife had a problem walking so immediately seated us. We had a very slight issue with the meal, and the manager was quick to resolve it! Good going to the crew!!“
“We've eaten here a numerous times and have had anything from appetizers, salads, pizzas and/or drinks without any issues! All has been good! No complaints to any of their food! Our server Ilona has been our server for years-very nice person! When in area stop in!“
“We had a retirement gathering middle of the work week, mid-afternoon for 25-30 people. We asked for a variety of pizza's soft drinks and water. If Individuals wanted something else to eat or drink they paid themselves. The waitstaff person we had did an excellent job. Kept the drinks flowing and the tables cleaned as needed. We set the event up with Tyler, he and the staff delivered what we asked for. I wish I knew the waitstaff person she had super customer service. If you need a spot for a gathering give Aurelio's in Geneva a try. Plus the cost was very reasonable.“
“Today I was in one of their restaurants and the food was terrible, the chicken felt old, sour, like past, I ordered a five and they brought me a pasta with tomato sauce, I couldn't eat it and the service, despite having Spanish-speaking staff, put us We asked a person who only speaks English for a container so as not to vote for the food and they brought us some containers as for dessert we ordered two lalagas and even the color of the dried red tomato was in bad taste. I think I will not return to one of their restaurants and because of that Since I will recommend it as very bad, terrible, what a shame they deteriorated so much“
“Took my Wife Mother of our children to Alianos for Dinner at Alianos in East Dundee . Great experience Great food very friendly people, we tried something Different as our Entree, Alianos Italian restaurant always comes through with a Delicious Italian dish prepared by Chef G. All Mothers that had Dinner there on Mother's Day where given a Carnation. That was a nice extra the Carnation flower. I can't wait to return for another special Dinner with friends.“
“Our go-to pizza place. We order from here all the time and they never disappoint. I was gluten-free for 12 years and always got gluten-free pizza during that time, and they’re one of the few pizza places around here that can do that really well. (Note that they do not have a dedicated kitchen though.) Also, they make a great BBQ pizza which my entire extended family loves!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options; great with food allergies“
“Stopped in for pizza after getting drinks at a few places and not wanting to pay an arm and a leg for dinner. Ordered toasted ravioli and some thin crust pizza. Ravioli were tasty. Pizzas cooked perfectly. Servers worked hard to make sure we had everything and prices fair. Only complaint was the space was cramped and they only had beer and wine.“
“I marked as a three but really after being there 5-6 times... My experiences have either been a 2 or a 4. The food is always pretty good. There is no host station. So you walk in and just stand there and wait for an employee to approach you. Which sometimes doesnt happen real promptly. The service staff is laid back and sometimes thats alright other times you just want them to do there job more formally and stop chatting. Now it seems the places maintance is waning. The leather chair tops are splitting, the faux wood beams had cobwebs all over them. And the floor looks like it was not designed for heavy wear. All minor things that can be overlooked but that being said... Why not just fix the minor things?“
“I found Bari Foods through the group Chicago Style Italian Beef on Facebook. This food purveyor got the highest reviews based on taste, value and ease of delivery. I ordered the $135 Bulk Pack which included 4...three pound packages of Italian Beef and 4...half gallon containers of their Au Jus/Gravy. Plus free delivery to Los Angeles. I couldn't be happier as others have stated great taste, exceptional value and a shipment that arrived intact and on time. I highly recommend them“
