“First time trying Albano’s and I have to say it was the best meal I have had in a long time, possibly ever. My boyfriend and I went for my birthday and it did not disappoint. The bread, caramelized onion tortellini pasta, and cheesecake were amazingly good. 10/10 recommend! And the staff was so wonderful and attentive. We are already planning our next visit!“

“fast service and cheap good food“

“Stopped by to celebrate my mother’s birthday and the entire visit was amazing! Plenty of parking, including a good amount of handicapped spots, no long line on a Sunday evening, clean look with professional team. Our reservation was ready for us even though we’d shown up a touch early, our waitress was a sweet younger woman with black hair neatly tucked back- respectful, patient, and observant. She did a wonderful job keeping our drinks filled and making sure we enjoyed our experience. A model employee, everyone seemed well trained and guest forward. Our soup and salad orders arrived at the perfect time, then our meals were delivered in the same fashion- everything was delicious! My creamy pesto tortellini was absolutely divine and I adored the pine nuts mixed in, the serving size was great as well! Overall a good visit and for the level of service I would say well worth the price.“

“Very kind staff, great food, and the overall ambience on the establishment is welcoming and inviting.“

“5stars!!! Superb crab cakes, lamb and crème brûlée. Will be back soon. Congratulations to Jesus, the new chef.“

“Thank you Jenna for a beautiful experience at Olive Garden today. My husband and I were looking for a delicious meal in a beautiful and comfortable setting. We are very happy that along with all that, we also got to meet you and be a recipient of your great service. You did everything in the right amount. Timing of your appearance upon introduction, timing of requested drink (water) to the table, timing of the requested food items (soup and salad) to the table, timing of checking on us, and the amount of times you checked on us was not intrusive. So, from the beginning to the end you could not have done a single thing better. Jenna, when we told you we appreciated your service, we hope that the tip and this shout-out helps you know we were very sincere. Thank you again and keep up your level of service.“

“After years of driving by, we finally stopped in for dinner. WOW! Everything was delicious. Mixed drinks were done right, salad was fresh, and our entrees were fantastic! It was Chicago quality food hidden in Burns Harbor, IN. Tiramisu was just the way we like it and the service, from the Hostess to our Waitress, were friendly and helpful. It's a small and popular restaurant so be prepared to wait...but it is totally worth it!“

“My friends and I were there today!!! Top shelf service!! We had one meal that was vegan and their honesty about it needing to be remade because it had been accidentally cooked with meat. The food was fantastic, service above and beyond, and genuine honesty a bonus. Thank you so much.“

“I won a gift card from Indiana 105.5 a while back, so we were having a family birthday party for my daughter last night. I ordered the very extra large t’s meats and the stuffed crust pepperoni. I highly recommend! It all was delicious! I only wish you were closer, we all would definitely use you more, we live in Wanatah. But I definitely will be back“

“A Valpo landmark and well worth a visit if you are in the area! The food is delicious, great craft beer selection and always friendly service. They also have outdoor seating, bar, bags pit, shuffle board. Inside they have a 'holiday' tree hanging from the ceiling, decorated with different themes ?.“

“The pizza had a perfect crust—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The toppings were fresh and generous, making each bite delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for a great pizza place in Valparaiso, Uncle Menny's is definitely worth checking out!“

“Aliyah was an amazing waitress. It was incredibly busy for a Tuesday night but she kept her head held high! She kept our drinks full and served our food hot. We would love to have her as our server every time!!“

“Gal over the phone talked me into some moz sticks along with our pizza, (homemade) OMG, they were delicious, and so was the pizza! Glad they came closer. New Buffalo is to far for a great pizza!

Kid-friendliness: Yes kids are more than welcome, beautiful little bar in the back.. Chesterton’s new best kept secret“

Parking: Big wide open parking lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible establishment.“

“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“

“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. 👍“

“You won’t be disappointed when you visit this restaurant! A Great atmosphere,both friendly and family oriented,also features authentic recipes and amazing food quality. They feature a pizza of the month with a flakey pastry crust and ingredients for a flavor that doesn’t disappoint. For a good time,great service and great food visit the Chesterton Gelsasamos“

“Unfortunately I hadn’t been ordering from this Rosati’s, although it’s been in my backyard. I’d had it in the past but due to unhappiness with service, and seeing negative reviews I hadn’t ordered in years.

This past weekend I had a specific craving for Chicago style thin crust pizza. My spouse suggested we give it a try. Wow! It blew us both away by how good the pizza was. It was everything we wanted and more. The “fabulous four” (Italian sausage, mushroom, green pepper, and onion) was mouthwateringly delicious! The Italian sausage savory and the veggies were so fresh. It was even better the next day, reheated in our toaster oven. The other pizza was fantastic too. Along with the few appetizers we ordered. Their marinara sauce tastes so fresh and is the perfect balance of savory and just a hint of sweet.

I cannot believe we haven’t been ordering from here for so long but now that we’ve had it again and tasted the quality we will be loyal customers. It’s a littler more price wise than our local chains around here like Domino’s but I promise you, if you like Chicago style thin crust and quality ingredients it is so worth it. The best part is getting an authentic Chicago pizza without traveling to the city.“
