“Incredibly delightful day after being introduced to this wonderful Deli by my son! Tony's Panini was absolutely delish! Tasted Tony's homemade meatballs also delicious. I have so missed having a great Italian Deli as a go to. Tony your hospitality was very much appreciated. You will be seeing me often. Thank you again!!!“

“GREAT pizza...period! Simple decor, nice people and service. One of Chicagoland areas best pizza carry out.“

“Awesome food! Definitely worth every penny!!“

“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!“

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

“You catered my son’s wedding at Southern Charm back in November and it was delicious! Guests raved about the food weeks after the wedding. Your staff was so efficient and very professional. Thank you!“

“I love a good sandwich.

Battista's Cedar Lake has good sandwiches. Really good ones. I have had most of them. It all comes down to ordering one's preferred ingredients the day you order. My most preferred item is the Biggy Big.

The pizzas are the artisan type. They are not family size, if that is what you are looking for. They are good. All fresh ingredients.

I have always used carry out. Very limited seating. The owner and family are super friendly and helpful.“

“Veal Marsala Alfredo spaghetti soup salad rolls butter absolutely delish, a really good restaurant!!!“

“I recommend everything it’s delicious & delightful service ❤️ I treated myself to dessert today. Can’t get top notch spumoni anywhere 😉“

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

“I made an online order. The order form was easy to follow. The food was ready at the time I ordered it, and was given to me by a very pleasant person. And the veggie pizza was delicious!! So good! And, it was still warm when I got it home!“

“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.❤️❤️❤️“

“Went in not too long ago on a Saturday for lunch, from the time we walked in, The owners greeted us with a smile and were very personable, which is a lost art these days, so we were very comfortable from the get go, at that time we had multiple questions about the menu and AGAIN the owners explained every question we had in detail with no fluff, I ordered Italian Wedding Soup which is the BEST I’ve ever eaten, and finished with The Mostro… Great big portions and the food itself was amazing, we finished with desert and when we got the bill… again we was pleasantly surprised… I recommend to the highest powers that be that Ammirato’s Meatball Cafe is a hidden Gem and will definitely return for a different item on the menu“

“I had a catered event on October 2nd. The food was excellent!! Especially the Italian beef and Mac and cheese. Went to drop off stuff snd decided to have lunch since we were there. The Reuben was to die for!! As was the beef sandwich. We also loved the fries. Thank you Jim for making the food for our 30th anniversary party . I would highly recommend using them for all of your catering needs. And if you are in Thorton, pick up lunch. You won’t regret it.“

“awesome, even with take out. always hot and fresh.“

“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!“

“We bombed this restaurant with a short notice party of 12. They were quick to accommodate us and we were blessed with Josh as our server. I have never had a more appointed polite and on top n of things server than Josh. I highly recommend this restaurant AND Josh as a server.“

“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.“

“Good food. Excellent courteous and fast service.“

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

“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!“

“Great food and excellent service!“

“buffet was 15 dollars no bread salad bar was bare min. not worth it! who doesn't put cheese on their salad?!? and no deserts!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Pizza Buffet today was great! Good midweek treat 😋“

“Our meal was very delicious. Chicken vesuvio, sautéed perch, and linguini with red clam sauce all so good. Thank you for good service too.“

“Haven’t had it in awhile, was driving past and decided to stop. So delicious I stopped the next day too!!!! The only problem I had the second stop was one of my buns was too soggy, but the other 3 dogs were perfect!!!“

“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!“

“the Chicago thin crust taste here in hammond. The butter crust is a must have. Not to mention it's so crispy so none of that floppy pizza.“

“We had the thin crust pizza. It was probably the best I've ever had. The wait staff is great! Friendly and helpful. I have an allergy and they made sure it wouldn't be a problem. Would definitely recommend this place..atleased for the pizza.“

“I don’t know where this app gets its information but this is 100% incorrect. These are two separate restaurants bambino’s and Austin’s.“

“Excellent food. Excellent people.
A special thanks to Shams, Cassidy and Sam.
I just WISH you ALL carried soup.
French onion for example.

HC, I think his name today on August 31 (delivery man)
Always a pleasure from everyone 😁 💕

Extremely respectful people. They go above and beyond 😘💕
ALL the items are delicious 😋🤤“

“great food,great staff,best buffet. i sometimes comes all the way from rockford,il“

“Sbarro’s breakfast spread feels like the moment a fast-food joint suddenly remembers it has a soul. The eggs come out fluffy instead of rubbery, the peppers stay bright and sweet, and the sausage carries that satisfying, just-enough-spice warmth that wakes you up better than a motivational podcast. The roasted potatoes are the real ringleaders, though. They’ve got that crisp-on-the-edges, soft-in-the-center thing going on, like they were engineered by someone who genuinely cares about breakfast physics.

The whole plate tastes fresher than you expect from a spot best known for giant slices under heat lamps. It’s hearty without being heavy, comforting without getting sloppy. You walk away thinking, “Wait, did Sbarro just become my morning place?” That kind of pleasant surprise has a way of brightening the rest of the day.“

“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.“

“I grew up in this neighborhood and started eating this pizza in the 70's. Geneo's wouldn't be around if it wasn't great pizza! I can't wait to be back in the old neighborhood, stopping at Geneo's is a must.“

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

“Always Great!“

“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!“
