“Real deal Italian spot. From the outside looks like a convenience store with Illinois Lottery displays but when you walk in, a classic Italian deli/grocery shop with dine-in area, a large spread of pre-made sandwiches, desserts, other homemade goodies, and a fridge/freezer full of take-home food and meals. Also nice to see they have a drive-thru. Pictured here is a 6" Paesano on their homemade bread with everything on it as well as hot giardiniera. Subs are made-to-order and you can see the cooks doing so. Meats are nicely portioned and the sub itself was not overly stuffed. Ordered this as a combo (which I could probably do without next time) which includes a bag of choice of chips and a fountain drink from the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine. Definitely want to try out their Serino Special Sub, Eggplant Parmesan Sub, Caprese Sub, or even their Pizzas next time. Their cannolis and cookies looked to die for so will need to grab those also.“
“We order delivery from here about once a month. The food is always hot and delicious. The delivery drivers are always so friendly and personable. The food always arrives at the estimated time of often earlier. We have ordered pizza for a couple parties also and everyone we have talked to there is great! I would highly recommend!“
“I had the most exceptional experience with Venuti's Banquets for my daughter's XV party. From the moment I reached out to inquire about hosting our event there, to the planning process with Ruby, to the actual day of the event, every detail was handled with professionalism and care.Ruby's assistance was invaluable - she made sure to note every little detail, ensuring that nothing was overlooked. The pace of the event was impeccable, the food was absolutely delicious, and the prices were reasonable. The attention we received was truly first class.I was so impressed with the service before, during, and after the event that I am already planning to rebook Venuti's Banquets for my next big party. I highly recommend Venuti's for anyone looking for a top-notch venue with amazing service and a wonderful staff. Thank you for making my daughter's special day even more memorable.“
“Open, very, summery atmosphere! Feels like you're grabbing dinner on vacation to places like Palm Beach or Miami. Such a great place for a brief escape from Chicago winters. Elegant but still casual. Bright colors, nothing dark and dingy like several if the more old school Italian restaurants. Food is excellent! A good variety. I had the linguine with clans and I loved how it wasn't saturated in butter and garlic. Tasted like it does in Italy! Bread was fresh, beet salad was surprisingly delicious, and the Gelato was some of the best I ever had. We got hazelnut and pistachio. Coffee was good and strong. Service was good though we had to ask for several things which should have been already at the table, like grated cheese, salt and pepper, sharing plates should have come with the dessert as they gave enough spoons to know we were all sharing, etc. I've been here when it's jam packed and the service has always been great! This time it was less busy and we had to ask the bus boy for things. But, that being said, the waitress was very polite and immediately took care of requests when she was present. I wanted a table by the window and the host willingly accommodated us by making a 4 top for us. One plus from coming on a lesser busy time was that it was much quieter,l. Usually it's pretty loud in there when it's busy. But I always appreciate the uplifting vacation like atmosphere! I've never been disappointed, and this is probably my 4th time eating at Lucia Rose and will not my last.“
“Our meal last night was excellent..... I may be a bit biased as I have been eating their pizza since the mid 1960's : ) But last night was not an exercise in nostalgia - it's still the best pizza anywhere.Anyway we were thrilled to celebrate our wedding anniversary there! Thanks again for another fine meal...“
“Great pizza and staff! Never met such accommodating people. Food is amazing and like nothing I have ever tried before. As a fellow jain, it's extremely hard to find jain options let alone extraordinary jain food, but their options surpass all of my expectations. Another plus is the beautiful older daughter of the family who is extremely experienced in both service and cooking.“
