“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.❤️❤️❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent dining from beginning to end. We had reservations and were seated as soon as we walked in. The server was very knowledgeable over the selection of the menu. The food was cooked perfectly to our expectations. I highly recommend the meatballs. The greeting from Julie the manger topped the experience with her smile and great concern that we had our food made exactly to our of liking. Julie was exceptional with ensuring our experience was memberable. Thank you to Julie and her staff for a relaxing delicious evening.“

“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 🤤😍“

“Great food and excellent service!“

“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!“

“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!“

“A must try One of The Best Mom and Pap Pizza Joints on the South side of Chicago.😋“

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

“Rosati's catered to my warehouse today for the first time. We fed 100 people and Rosati's did not disappoint! Pizza and Dough nuggets were fresh and delicious! Delivery was on time and perfect!! Staff is friendly and amazing!! Thank you RP!!! We will be ordering again soon!!!“

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

“Deliciously wonderful at a great price“

“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!“

“Awesome food! Definitely worth every penny!!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Always Great!“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“
