“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.“

“I ordered steak n shrimp pasta and after a 45 min drive to pick up up then 45 back home I started eating and notice the steak wasn't steak from a grill. Contacted Manager and told her I have video n pics of this food and few people says the same that it wasn't steak.“

“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!“

“I placed an online order to the wrong location. The app has no cancel order so I called. The help was outstanding at helping me get the order at the right location and everyone was so pleasant and went out of their way to correct my mistake. Thank you Luis (Crown Point) and Christina (Schererville)! You are Rock Stars!!“

“We had kids with us so we got a private room! Everything was perfect, the food, the atmosphere and the service. We had about 12 people and they split the bill without a problem. And price wise, turns out it was cheaper than Joey's BBQ & BJ's so yaay for good times
Easy parking.
Get there for lunch as late as 12 or 12:30 and you will beat the crowd.“

“Good food. Excellent courteous and fast service.“

“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“

“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!“

“My favorite local treat yourself!! Never disappoints and always stuffed 🤤😍“

“The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, providing a classic neighborhood feel that is perfect for gathering with friends or watching a game. The menu offers a great selection of hearty options, and the food consistently arrives well-prepared with bold flavors and generous portions. I was particularly impressed by the attentive service; the staff was quick to check in and ensured that everything was handled with a friendly and professional attitude. The facility is well-maintained and clean, with a layout that balances a high-energy bar environment with comfortable dining spaces. It is a reliable spot for a relaxed and satisfying meal, as the energy of the room makes for an enjoyable experience every time. The management clearly does a great job of maintaining a consistent standard of hospitality, making it a standout choice for anyone looking for great food in a casual, upbeat setting.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Rosati’s is our favorite pizza in the area. The food is always delicious, and we have tried a lot from their menu. I have never had an issue with any of my orders. Tonight I ordered 2 pizzas, an appetizer and an extra side of ranch. My order was missing the ranch, which was not a big deal to me at all. About 30 minutes after I got home, I received a call from Amy apologizing for not including the ranch. All the workers there are so nice, but that took their customer service over the top! Thank you Schererville Rosati’s!! You guys are awesome!“

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

“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!“

“Deliciously wonderful at a great price“

“Several orders have been placed and received from this establishment. The pizza has consistently been hot, fresh and delicious! The food is so well prepared and tasty! I just love this restaurant. It’s my new go to place in the neighborhood.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Party Room catering food 🖤“

“Awesome food! Definitely worth every penny!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Every time I go in there they always have the freshest Pizza even though they have young people working there they always make sure that other people is nice and fresh one time it was really hot it was like 90 something out of me until nobody so I'm not going to say no need but they gave me a few more cuz it was hot I love them they are the best and is the best pizza and it was so perfect it will crunch so it was like nice really well done that's why I go like twice a week“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Food is good and Hot . Good service.“
