“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“

“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.“

“It’s delish again!!

I’ve been going here for a few years and whenever I have a taste for sausage deep dish I get it from this location. They are usually delicious. Today, I called to place an order for 10inch sausage and was told they don’t offer that even though I was staring at the menu I received the last time I ordered a deep dish from there which was probably less than a month prior. Made me feel like I was given a premade pizza and once I received it I feel that feeling was confirmed. It was burnt around the edges no chunky sauce and yet, the bottom of the crust was doughy. Was really hoping to enjoy this especially when I had to order a larger pizza than originally planned. Just didn’t taste fresh at all. So disappointed. Also I found it odd the pizza was just sitting on counter and not kept warm.“

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

“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!“

“It was my first time there and it was great. We sat at the bar and the bartender, although very busy, still took good care of us. The food was good, the ambiance was awesome. The live music was the icing on the cake. I'm definitely going back again.“

“I recommend for the school special because it’s cost effective. The spaghetti did not taste like it usually does. I was disappointed in it. We had a very rude driver that shouldn’t be working disgruntled. I understand that people have bad days but his demeanor and disposition was HORRIBLE! I wouldn’t dare have someone like that working for me nor interacting with the public in such an unprofessional manner. When he arrived to our school and wanted the tax ID letter, it was apparent that he hasn’t been taught basic levels of professionalism which would have begun with a simple greeting. He made me speak to him like he was a student needing redirection. We have to do better. I am awaiting a phone call back from someone on their management team because that driver doesn’t deserve to be out on the streets. He was not a good representation of Italian Fiesta.“
