“I’ve always ordered carryout from Rosati’s and have always really enjoyed the pizza, but today was my first time actually dining in, and I’m glad we did!

The atmosphere was great, store was exceptionally clean with a really nice ambiance, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Our waitress, Charity, was absolutely amazing, very attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better.

Great pizza, great atmosphere, and great service. I’ll definitely be coming back for trivia night!“

“This place is amazing! I used to live in winfield and never really checked out Aurelio’s because we were a little caesar’s family (lol), but I recently went in and tried it with friends for the first time and was blown away! Everything from the food to the friendly service to the ambiance was just perfect. Bruce Wayne is doing a wonderful job running this establishment. Would 10/10 have again!“

“This was our second time in. The first time we just sat at the bar and had dinner. The food was great off the menu and the staff was very friendly. Our second time in we had a party for 50 so we had a food and bar package along with renting simulators. The food was great again and everyone had a lot of fun! Our servers Danielle and Kim were exceptional as was Sean the manager. I highly recommend this place for a fun evening out! We will be back!“

“Took a night vacation fom Illinois and ordered delivery to Hilton Garden Inn Merrillville and the pizza came HOT AND FRESH😍 like it was fresh from the oven! Delivery was fast and delivery driver was so sweet! Great pizza!! So glad to have an Aurelio's in Crown Point!!“

“First time ordering the Italian beef sandwiches and I will definitely be getting from now on. The bread was soft, the neat was tender and not salty which is amazing because my family has heart problems. The au jus was perfect, not salty at all . My family and I absolutely loved it. P.s thank you for not putting salt on the fries they were excellent.“

“Doug was patient, cordial, very attentive. My mom, 96, has not been out for a meal in 5 yrs. Doug made this a pleasant experience for the 4 of us. Comfortable sitting, great comfortable noise level, not crowded sitting( we had a wheelchair), food excellent. Pork shoulder outstanding. No stickiness on anything. Best day/meal ever! Thank u Doug“

“Gamba should have a Michelin Star in my opinion. From the cuisine to the staff this place is top notch. The Gamba family are truly a wonderful and kind hearted family, and is shows in all parts of the service you'll receive!“

“Our meal was delicious, server, Alex, was attentive and helpful, a pleasant dining experience“

“I just had this for the first time and I can say I love it! The bread and meat are very fresh and the tomato sauce was delicious! I had the sausage and beef combo and the wood fire margarita pizza! Staff was friendly and the food came out quickly! I will be back!“

“Excellent place to get an Italian beef. Probably the best place around honestly. Far more hospitable and “family vibe” than Portillo’s. No diss on Portillo’s food, but I think Buona just does it better with dine-in service. Love coming here.“

“you hungry for real great food, that's cool, me too, you should go here!!! you're welcome. staff is really nice as well.“

“Had a fantastic carryout this evening. The Italian beef with cheese, the ribeye steak sandwich, and pasta shell sides. Absolutely awesome. They take very good care of me every time I go there. Thank you, Pepino’s.❤️❤️❤️“

“Never had a bad dish at Livios til tonight. We each had fried perch, the waitress commented how big it was. I ate one piece and couldn’t eat anymore. Had a funny taste to it. Hope we don’t get sick!“

“So all of NWI lost power on Tuesday, and I went in on Wednesday to place an order to go. Everyone there was amazing they were working hard, all the waiters and all the cooks, the ones answering the phones and taking orders was doing a fabulous job on Wednesday, way to go Olive Garden in highland. You guys came together to make sure they ur customers were happy, they also had customers in there charging there phones,and they didn’t tell them to go or anything.“

“had an amazing time and great food. the portions were great for the price. plus the waiter me and my partner had was amazing at his job and treated us great. the only reason i didnt give atmosphere 5/5 is because they were packed and did not have enough waiters on staff so they were a little slow but otherwise i would definitely come again.“

“the pizza always comes super hot and super delicious! and stuffed pizza?! I thought it meant stuffed crust, so I was like yeah we can try it. ohh man was it so good! cant stop ordering it that way!“

“Best wings and pizza around! Best crust in town“

“What a lovely experience! Started off with some fresh, homemade cheese sticks and a glass of their delicious Borgoña based sangria. Ended up filling up on the Guadito, Papa Rellena, and Lomo Saltado. Everything was perfect. So good. Will be back for more!“

“My favorite local treat yourself!! Never disappoints and always stuffed 🤤😍“

“Best Pizza in this area or maybe the best of all. I was in town helping my Uncle and he recommended we try it and I fell in love with their pizza!! In 2 and a half weeks I think I ate here 5-6 times!! Thank you for the great pizza!!“

“I have ordered Rosati's pizza delivery many times. Delivery was excellent however our pizza tonight was definitely not up to the regular standards. The crust was soggy, it was light on sauce, and could have cooked a few minutes more. I will continue to order Rosati pizza as I feel it is the best in the area. Maybe just a difficult night for the cook.“

“Suzanne and Tim are awesome! The food is absolutely amazing! I will never go to aurelios, langels, or rosatis again! Best pizza I ever had! Also the beef sandwiches are better than portilos and pops! Also! The spaghetti is the best I ever had!“

“Our Girl Scout troop had an amazing experience today making pizzas and getting a tour from the BEST waitress!“

“I've been going to this Mama D's Pizza my whole life. Love this place. But I gotta be honest, I'd go a lot more if it wasn't for their crazy hours! Waiting til 4pm to open is wild! And only staying open til 9? I get it, times are tight and you gotta do what you need to stay alive. It just makes it hard to plan your day with the limited availability. I highly recommend the place, great tavern style pizza. A little pricey but worth it!“

“My favorite can't beat the sauce“

“Came in on 8/11, after the bad storms that came through. This place was one of the only places open for miles. We were told no dine in and any orders are an hour&15 min wait. They stopped taking orders shortly after we placed an order from who busy that they were. Employees were busting their butts trying to keep up with everyone and handled it very well. I was a bit concerned that our food was going to take a bit longer than their estimated time but it actually came out exactly when they said. She apologized for the wait and was so kind. And even with the crazy day that they were having, food came out delicious!! If they can handle a day like that, I think it's safe to say that this location has a solid group of people working there!“

“Awesome food! Definitely worth every penny!!“

“My daughter and I picked a random place today, and we ended up here. Definitely didn’t know what to expect, and the menu had so many choice it was hard to decide ( a good thing )!!! The waitress was super helpful and super nice!!! My food was so good! And the portions were enough for leftovers. I will definitely try this place again. 👍“

“We ordered for the first time in a LONG time and it was THE BEST pizza we had! We will 💯 be ordering more often!“

“The food here is delicious! The menu is huge. If you’re wanting something a little lighter you can opt for a yummy chicken chop salad. We ended up getting the Italian beef and the Ruben. Both are excellent. The Ruben is the best Ruben I have ever eaten in my entire life hands-down you must get! We also had a vanilla shake and the large sizes are ginormous . The food servings are very generous, everything is very shareable. They even have an area where you can grab a beer if you’d like. The restaurant has a large sitting area and there is a covered back patio. Service is excellent and the restaurant very clean. A great place to stop!“

“This place is going downhill fast. I emailed Aurelios in Schererville about an experience 3 wks ago they NEVER got back to me.... we take my mom here every time we visit her. We've had issues yesterday 5.12.24 and the time before as well. I complained about getting the cookie my mom loves because it was brought to the table and was entirely melted ice cream and whip cream so melted you could pour it like water. Yesterday the pizza was entirely burnt and so hard . If they do something wrong and you complain about it believe you will pay for it if you return. This was our pizza yesterday that we asked them to cut in squares. Happy Mother's day to us.“

“My mother was in the hospital across the street from the restaurant, we were tired, stressed and hungry. The food and service were a great comfort. We were given so much food we had plenty for 3 days. My mother said it was some of the best spaghetti she has ever eaten in all of her 86 year. We didn't take the time to take photos“

“Very good experience at sbarro this morning. We arrived at about 11:10, right after opening, and all of the food was out and fresh. Everything looked amazing-we wanted it all. We ended up trying the pizza, spaghetti with meatballs, and breadsticks and it was all so good. The workers were also very friendly and quick. Would definitely go back“

“Giordano's Pizza tastes great.... all the time! Taste is consistent regardless if it's dine-in or take out! I've enjoyed Giordano's for at least 10 years now and looking forward for more! First time doing business with Schererville and it is very pleasant. Thank you Schereville team!“
