“First time trying Albano’s and I have to say it was the best meal I have had in a long time, possibly ever. My boyfriend and I went for my birthday and it did not disappoint. The bread, caramelized onion tortellini pasta, and cheesecake were amazingly good. 10/10 recommend! And the staff was so wonderful and attentive. We are already planning our next visit!“

“fast service and cheap good food“

“Stopped by to celebrate my mother’s birthday and the entire visit was amazing! Plenty of parking, including a good amount of handicapped spots, no long line on a Sunday evening, clean look with professional team. Our reservation was ready for us even though we’d shown up a touch early, our waitress was a sweet younger woman with black hair neatly tucked back- respectful, patient, and observant. She did a wonderful job keeping our drinks filled and making sure we enjoyed our experience. A model employee, everyone seemed well trained and guest forward. Our soup and salad orders arrived at the perfect time, then our meals were delivered in the same fashion- everything was delicious! My creamy pesto tortellini was absolutely divine and I adored the pine nuts mixed in, the serving size was great as well! Overall a good visit and for the level of service I would say well worth the price.“

“Went in today with my son and infant daughter. There was a miscommunication between myself and the cashier that resulted in not having a combo added to one of the sandwiches. The store was quick to solve the problem. A bit later we had another issue with the sausage being burnt. I hated to even say anything because I had already had the issue with the combo but my son wasn’t going to eat the sandwich because it was burnt. The manager didn’t even hesitate and made him a fresh sandwich. Once that was solved everything was amazing. The food was hot and delicious. The beef was tender and the bread perfection. The manager and her entire team were super friendly and took great care of us.

Highly recommend the Valpo Buona!“

“After years of driving by, we finally stopped in for dinner. WOW! Everything was delicious. Mixed drinks were done right, salad was fresh, and our entrees were fantastic! It was Chicago quality food hidden in Burns Harbor, IN. Tiramisu was just the way we like it and the service, from the Hostess to our Waitress, were friendly and helpful. It's a small and popular restaurant so be prepared to wait...but it is totally worth it!“

“My friends and I were there today!!! Top shelf service!! We had one meal that was vegan and their honesty about it needing to be remade because it had been accidentally cooked with meat. The food was fantastic, service above and beyond, and genuine honesty a bonus. Thank you so much.“

“I'd like to give them four five stars but nobody's perfect. Awfully good pizza and very nice people. I'll be back.

Parking: Big wide open parking lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible establishment.“
