47 Best Italian Restaurants near Griffith

“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“

“Never ending pasta is always amazing! It's always packed in there! Could use a few more waitresses so they can spend more time on their tables. We barely seen ours n we got alcoholic drinks n she gave us another tables drinks n then came n switched them back but again it was overly packed so if they were able to focus more on a few tables it wouldn't be so hectic for them to give better attention to table service n someone there not sure if a employee or customer had grabbed the table games off our table for a brief moment n did whatever with it n put it back n of course they charged us for it on my bill like we used it. N we didn't. But good food none the less. Salad was fresh n perfectly made.

Parking: Super busy!“

“I've been a long time fan dating back to when they were in Calumet city. I've used them for catering several times with great success. always enjoy stopping in to grab something to eat as well. I do miss the bone-in pork chop sandwich but I can understand how selling that might be a bit of a liability. LOL all in all, the place never disappoints“

“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!“

“Ms.Tammy the manager was amazing.. she greeted me in the dining room..as I waited on my food .. she and I had a pleasant conversation..I liked that fact. That she was so personable.. she went above and beyond. To make sure I was accommodated.. My experience from the time I walked I. Until the time I left was top tier..and yes I will definitely be back for another experience.. thank you Ms.Tammy and Staff!“

“Just had my first experience at Ciao Bella, and was blown away by the delicious food! Best fettuccine alfredo I've ever had! The fresh baked bread is so yummy, house salad is fresh and delicious and filled with veggies! This is definitely our new favorite Italian restaurant!

Kid-friendliness: My kids ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, and the cheese ravioli! They loved them both!“

“All the food was delicious!!! From the appetizers to the main courses to the dessert & cocktails….ALL Delicious well prepared food! I hope this place is around for many years to come. Very cute environment & service was 100! Def will be back!“

“I typically order unlimited minestrone soup & salad (minus cheese, dressing, croutons). If planning ahead I'll bring a small container with my own Italian dressing. They usually give my own lg salad bowl & are always very accommodating when I request that they add extra veggies such as pepperoncini, onions, tomato, etc to my lettuce since it's my meal. You can also order pasta with Marinara sauce.“

“Just delicious! not cheap so if you are (cheap), probably not for you.“

“Amazing food and customer service .. best around!“

“Dined in Sunday with party of 4 and food/appetizers came out hot and fast. Beer and drinks were cold and not stale..location was clean and quiet. Our server Emily was such a delight. She was informative, cheerful and always attentive, checking on our needs. We will for sure ask for her each time we go back..“

“We love this place! The food is always hit and delicious and the servers are always friendly!“

“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!“

“Rosati's is a special place that never disappoints us. Our go to is the sausage supreme pizza. It has Italian sausage, onion, mushroom and green pepper. It is a great taste combination. Their crust and sauce is a home recipe that is a perfect pairing with the ingredients they use. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. We love this place!“

“Deliciously wonderful at a great price“

“Best pizza in region“

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

“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!“

“Always great food, service is very good. Sometimes wait is a little long, but the pizza is worth it!The new look of the Munster location is TERRIBLE! The old one had atmosphere and character, but the rebuild makes it feel like a hospital room. Lots of colorful decor is desperately needed.“

“I love the customer service. Food is hot and tastes good.“

“This a new pizza restaurant in Hegewisch and I just had the cheeseburger and it was super tasty. Cheese melted and fries hot and Crispy. Small inside so I ordered and went to Pete's produce down the street to get some snacks and in about 20 minutes my food was ready. Next time I'll get the sausage pizza and review that.

Parking: Just a few spots on the side of the building and you have to park at an angle.“

“Best pizza ever we loved it when it was in Calumet city and still love it. We use to live closer but even though we are father away we still come a lot. Because no pizza compares to this pizza, and we are big pizza lovers it is my favorite pizza. The best around was so glad we they opened in Munster“

“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. 👍“

“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“

“I use to order Italian Fiesta, once I had Rosati’s….. OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! THEIR PIZZA IS BY FAR THE BEST!! It’s not greasy, you have a lot of flavor & ITS AFFORDABLE! They’re about 1mile from my house so I pick up or get delivery! I AM HOOKED!!! CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Since moving here, I've tried 3 other pizza places.. they were ok...
And today I tried this for the 1st time and it was the Best so far! I feel like the owners might be from Chicago because this was Chicago pizza 🍕 😍🍕😍“

“Best carry out in the area! the spaghetti is great, wings on point, BLT is bangin and the pizza is the best around. 5 🌟“

“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.“

“Definitely want to take a minute and acknowledge the young ladies at the counter, my sister and I came for the $3 pizza special, and was told 3 hours, not a problem! So when we returned, my oh my the place was PACKED! 2 lines, one for placing orders and one for picking up! we patiently waited for our order numbers to be called, after about 10-15 minutes waiting, we were out the door! However, I just wanted to come here and say how disrespectful the other guests were while they were waiting for their orders. Mind you, today was a GREAT SPECIAL, you know it was going to be a busy day for the establishment, and you still want to talk down and scream at the young ladies for not having your pizza out on time. Come on, the oven can only make a certain number at a time, these employees definitely deserve a special recognition, for having to deal with so many INCONSIDERATE humans.“

“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!“

“Always Great!“

“I have not had Aurelio’s pizza in a long time and was hoping for the same taste I remember. While the toppings tasted great, the crust was just not the same as I remembered. I was a little disappointed. I did try the wings and they were actually really tasty.“

“great pizza🍕 great ham and cheese sandwich🥪 great buffalo wings 🍗 just great food in general😋“

“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!“

“The place is great but unfortunately is deteriorating because of not being cleaned appropriately. The service was good 😊 but it's always the lack of staff that makes it harder for one waitress to serve and maintain clean. But overall, everything was good 😊. Thank you.“
