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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Driving on route 30 in Indiana we saw State line Pizza. We decided to go in and to my surprise a nice low key pizza spot. Suzanne our waitress paid attention my order i don't eat meat. I had ordered A Ceasars salad, no idea that Ceasar salad had anchovie paste in the dressing. Suzanne informed me of my options. We also ordered the veggie thin crust pizza, well done the crust was nice and crispy just the way we like it , and the half basket appetizer which was good too and more than enough for two. This State line Pizza gets a double thumbs up.“

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

“Ate there a few months ago when my son was up for his college visit and we loved the place. We are coming in town again today for his game and he said he wants to go back for dinner afterwards. Can't wait. Great food. Great atmosphere. And the owner was so engaging and awesome to talk to.“

“Just had Rosati's, it was fantastic. The crust was great – perfectly cooked and delicious. The sauce was Absolutely amazing. Seriously, one of the best pizza sauces I've had in a long time.
You've got to try the garlic knots; they were killer! Big shout-out to Emily for the great customer service too. She was super friendly and made the experience even better.
Highly recommend Rosati's for a top-notch pizza experience!“

“Beautiful ambiance, delicious Italian cuisine, and great vibes – Ciao Bella truly lives up to its name. Everything from the patio seating to the flavors is on point!“

“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!“

“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!“

“We had the best service and the owner is a total sweetheart ! The new “hero” sandwich was delicious, good mix of flavors and the pickled onions were the perfect touch! The steak hoagie is absolutely delicious It’s a must always our go to never disappoints !! Highly recommend this small business a million times over !!! Thank you for another amazing dinner !! ❤️“

“Leaving Chicago and we wanted a nice little family pizza place. This was the place and boy was it worth it. Pizza was excellent and the cheesy breadsticks oh my so good. The young lady taking the orders was very nice and polite and super friendly. Sauce was good and for a thing crust which my husband normally does not like he was impressed and loved the pizza. If we didnt live almost 2 hours away in Indiana we would be there more often. And next time we are going thru Chicago /east Chicago area we are going to stop again. So worth it.
Thank you for the awesome pizza and the friendliness. 20 out 10 I would recommend this place. The best pizza we have had in a very long time.“

“Amazing buffet! All you can eat! Delicious Italian food! Amazing waitresses!“

“1st time having the breakfast bowl with eggs, sautéed veggies & 2 Italian sausages & a bottle of water $14??‍♂️ a lil pricey BUT good & greatness isn’t cheap when your a truck driver ???

Parking: I drive Big Truck“

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

“I like to think that im a pizza connoisseur, I can look at pizza pictures and tell if it will be good or not to try. So that what I did for this place and they did not disappoint it was the best pizza I had in long time. I eat Nancy's and Italian village in Illinois, and Mama D's is way better. The pizza was thin with the right amount of sauce and cheese. Very well seasoned pizza! Im telling everyone.“

“Always Great!“

“Our waitress was awesome. The birria pizza was delicious. In from Texas to visit family. Wanted the original but due to wait time & flexibility of family came to this location instead. The ovens might have changed from what I was told, but still good food was had. 1989 was the 1st time had ever had.“

“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.“

“Excelente service! Great flavorful pizza. I recommend this restaurant. It broke the scale of my expectations! I will return again.“

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

“Been going here since I was a kid. Great food and very reasonable .“

“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!!“

“The hostess was gnarly (unkind) but everything else went fine. I'm a foodie & I visit several restaurants per week as I travel the country doing my self employed work.

As someone who eats out a lot, these young ladies who host could do well to learn a lot about customer relations. The place is fine, the food is very good & the prices are okay. My server, Cate was a doll! She waited perfectly & if it were based on her alone, this place would get a 5* review! Thanks foe serving me well, Cate! You'll do wonderful in life!“

“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!“
