“We have always gone to Lou's in Lincolnwood, but had family in town and Buffalo Grove was closest for them. what a difference, place was huge and the parking lot was great. It will be our new location for sure. Service was just ok. It was a Friday night and busy so the staff was not very attentive but the good is great so we can deal with that“
“Nino’s….. I love you guys! I just had the minestrone with tortellini soup, grilled chicken breast sandwich & meatballs delivered…..wonderful comfort food after a stressful work week!! The soup, my favorite, was fresh & hot, & just what I needed! AND the delivery driver in the red Ford pickup truck was awesome & read my crazy apartment delivery instructions & did it right! Whoever you are, you get ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!! Btw, their thin crust pizza is awesome & their cheese is the best!“
“Alrighty than... I have been ordering my deep dish from Lou's for over 22 yrs. If you love it you stick to it correct? Thought I would try Rosati's for a change and ohh my... glad I did.Lots of toppings...fantastic tomatoes..perfectly done...taste was spot on...some of the best I have had. Knowing I have had over 400 in the last 20 yrs or so. I always thought they were a secondary pizza place for me & my friends. I WAS WRONG !LOVED IT AND WILL ORDER AGAIN SOON. NOUF SAID ...hold on one more thing it was GREAT DEEP DISH ! ! ! ( No I have not been drinking)“
“George and Alyssa made us feel like family. Loved loved loved my lunch here today. The food was life-changing and the staff was so friendly and knowledgeable and passionate about what they’re doing in that kitchen. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Absolutely amazing new restaurant in Rolling Meadows. Have been there twice now, once for dine in, and the food was so good I got carry out for dinner only a few days later! Service is impeccable, the weekly specials are delicious, and everything tastes fresh and homemade. You can’t go wrong with anything you order. 10/10!“
“My first time in Illinois, and we came across Francesca's randomly. The hospitality and food are both excellent! Kenny was a great server and all others who served us! My mom LOVING the Linguine and Clams is an understatement. She's obsessed! Unfortunately, I'm headed back to California now. Thanks for a great experience! Til next time!“
“Love the restaurant and the food, however was there on a Saturday night at the peak dinner hour and it.wasn't nice. The wait staff were almost running up and down the aisle making it feel very chaotic . Felt rushed during our meal and the large groups around us were very loud. We couldn't hear each other talk. I'm sad to think such a nice restaurant turned out to be a big disappointment.I realize it was a very busy evening but it was not a good evening“
“Happen to find this little gem while waiting for a tow truck for my boyfriend‘s truck today. I was thinking Subway, but then I found this. I am so glad that I walked in there, and that she talked me into the focaccia Capri style. The foot-long is massive the sandwiches, and the meats are phenomenal and the service could not have been better, I don’t care if I live 40 minutes from here I’m coming back !!“
“Came in again to try out their pizza special. I got the 2 slices and a drink last time, and it was too much for me. Just got a slice of sausage, and my usual soda can. Place is usually nice and clean. Everyone is friendly and acknowledges you when you walk in. It was cooked nicely and great crust. It wasn't too hard or soft, but just the right amount of crunch. The best part is that it's not really greasy like others. Big plus in my book. I definitely would come back if I'm in the area. Perks of working out in the field and trying new places.“
“Exceptional Dining Experience Thanks to Outstanding ServiceI recently had the pleasure of dining here and was blown away by the exceptional service provided by the staff, particularly by Kim M.From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted warmly by Kim M. and made to feel welcomed. Kim M. went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Her attentiveness and genuine care for our needs were truly remarkable.Moreover, the food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was prepared with precision and bursting with flavor. The presentation was impeccable, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to detail.Not only did Kim M. ensure that our orders were taken promptly, but she also checked in regularly to ensure that everything was to our liking. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she was knowledgeable about the menu, accommodating our dietary preferences flawlessly.Overall, my dining experience at here was exceptional, thanks in large part to Kim M.'s exemplary service. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for not only delicious food but also top-notch service. I can't wait to return!“
“Hands down one of the best restaurants I've been to. A beautiful place with a great vibe. They have a bar in the main dining area which is great if you're looking to hangout after dinner. The staff was absolutely wonderful. Everyone was so friendly and fun! Every dish we had was SPECTACULAR!!!. We ordered about 8 dishes and every single one was delicous. You can tell they use high quality products/ingredients. Lastly, the price we paid for this 10 STAR experience was too low in my opinion. I would easily pay triple the amount for this place. We'll be going back very soon. Maybe this weekend! ;) 10 STARS for Bar Salotto!!!“
“I absolutely love this place! Outstanding Customer Service, Food, Drinks, Atmosphere and amazing professional Staff. Thank you for making my Family and I always feel welcomed, accomodating us, your patience and always paying attention to detail. For sure a special place and very cozy. Will be back for sure. Everything by far is delicious. Thank you for helping us make our Birthdays memorable and making us feel at home! ?“
“We had eaten at a Lou Malnati’s several years ago and didn’t care for the pizza we had tried. But since we’ve heard so many people rave about their pizza, we decided to give the place another try this last time we were in Chicago.The restaurant has plenty of seating, but going late on a Thursday night meant the place was pretty empty. We had prompt service, but the pizza does take time to make. Plan on at least 30 minutes to get it delivered to your table.We ordered the Malnati Chicago Classic and added mushrooms. I’m not a big fan of sausage, so I was a bit hesitant to order it. However, I really enjoyed the pizza overall. The sausage wasn’t overly strong, and the tomato sauce had a wonderful sweetness to it. The crust was cooked to perfection, and the mozzarella cheese was plentiful.So did this pizza measure up? Absolutely! We will definitely be back!“
“Truly a family-owned, family-run and family-centric establishment. We've witnessed them grow since they opened in 1999, and their craft is perfected. Whether you want a quiet date night with some ridiculously delicious pasta and wine; or a coffee and Gelato; or a quick lunch of a sandwich, pizza or arancini and pasta salad... you can't go wrong. They're expert caterers and you won't have to worry about a thing if you're hosting an event of any kind. Love!“
“A fantastic brunch with their version of biscuits & gravy and an egg white omelet with Parmesan potatoes. Very attentive service that was timely in bringing out our food and keeping our glasses full, and empty plates removed from the table.“
“This is one of the best little family owned Italian restaurants! Enjoyed a great family dinner. Not rushed like other places today. Food was phenomenal and pricing very reasonable for the high quality of the food and the extras. Great service. Will be back when I am up in the area again.“
“This place was AMAZING!!! The waitresses and waiters were extremely polite and helpful with anything you requested or asked. The Food was DELICIOUS!! I would highly recommend eating there and tasting their amazing Calamari and seafood soup!! Actually it may not have been soup but the juice of the meal which was Mussels with some vegetables in this phenomenal juices. They simply are creators of amazing flavors and Definitely worth the value of their meals. ?“
“I grew up eating Lou’s. Never had another deep dish. And I’ll never get tired of it. They can get busy especially on the weekends but you can order your pizza ahead while you wait. It’s best to reserve if you can. My favorites (besides the classic) are their Buffalo wings, calamari, pasta, and can’t forget the cookie skillet. Always had a great experience.“
“Had lunch in...chicken parmesan was dry, not enough sauce, chicken tasted old, didn't like. Would have liked ice water at table rather than having to purchase $2 bottles of water. Bread was excellent. Paid and tipped, but no table service, so not sure why.Cannolis that we took to-go for a birthday were fantastic. Rosemary focaccia to-go, also great.“
“This place! Always a great meal and service. I’ve lived in the area and this place is so underrated. You can’t go wrong with the vodka pasta. While I did not have that tonight. The chicken was amazing. Cooked to perfection. The fresh side salad was amazing. Can’t go wrong with parking it right so use the valet.“
“I can't understand the negative reviews. I brought my three girls here for lunch and we had an amazing lunch! We last dined here about a year ago. The service was incredibly fast, the fried calamari was delicious, and the pizza was amazing. My picky eater asked for four more meatballs after devouring the first three that came on her spaghetti. I decided to try the soup/sandwich combo. It was so difficult to choose a sandwich because they ALL sounded amazing. I was very pleased with the Italian sandwich with the asparagus soup. I wish I would have brought a quart of the soup home for my husband to enjoy. The ingredients are fresh and everything tastes wonderful. I am already looking forward to our next visit!!“
“On line doesn't allow for 1/2 cheese only side plain ingredient pizza orders.Try calling to leave a message before store opens about on line pizza order, can't be done.Can't change delivery time on line, just stuck on 11AM, need at noon..frustration.“
“Always a great experience at Mambo. We had a bigger party and our server was great. He was extra kind to my toddler, which was so appreciated.Please add a changing table to the men’s restroom.Sincerely, a family who has babies that need to be changed and want to go with Daddy.“
“From food to drinks and service, we are so lucky to have this neighborhood gem! I love the cheese and meat app, as well as all pastas and flat breads we have tried. The staff is beyond helpful, and the owners are supportive of the community. It does not get better than Trezeros!“
“Our reservation was for 5pm and we walked in at 502pm. The food for both my wife and I were absolutely the best Italian food we have ever had. The price was excellent for such great quality. We will try to come at least once per month. Thank you very much for our delicious meals. We will see you soon.“
“We were in Arlington Heights for a memorial service and looking for a nice dinner. So glad we found this neighborhood gem. The parking lot was scary with work being done but we didn't let that discourage us and I am so glad. The complementary bread basket with focaccia was delicious. All dinners come with soup or salad. My husband was delighted with his the lobster ravioli topped with lobster sauce and sauteed shrimp. I loved my veal Marsala. For the quality and quantity of food, it was more than reasonable. We live 45 minutes to an hour from there but, we will be back.“
“The food was fantastic, the staff was kind and friendly with great recommendations. The desert we had, the sticky toffee bread pudding was phenomenal! The service was perfect with timing and the atmosphere is comfortable and charming. This is a neat place to go to to catch up with friends and family or a date. Thanks so much for the great evening!“
“Excellent pizza! The sauce is not sweet but savory with proper seasoning. Their thin crust is so good that if I move away, I would drive hours to come back regularly. The service is friendly and helpful, and they even store my order info, so I can call up and order "the usual". Thank you for your excellence Pizza Italia!“
“I recently went here with my family after a colleague of mine, recommended it. The first course that we had was calamari, and they were much larger pieces than I'm accustomed to, and the breading was a little bit soggy however, the second appetizer we ordered was clams, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The rest of our meals were outstanding, and we will definitely be coming back on a sidenote from a service perspective I came with my wife and three children, one of which is eight months old. The hostess or manager offered for us to sit in a private room for the door that closes as there was some music in the background. Exceptional food, exceptional service, and exceptional people.!“
“Deerfield Italian Kitchen offers an exceptional dining experience that begins with a personal touch – the owner answering the phone to take your order. This personalized service sets the tone for what awaits: delicious Italian cuisine crafted with care and attention to detail.The chicken and Italian sausage risotto is undoubtedly a standout dish, boasting rich flavors and perfect texture. It's a testament to the kitchen's commitment to quality and authenticity. Equally impressive is the chicken parm sandwich, a beloved favorite that never disappoints.What truly sets Deerfield Italian Kitchen apart, however, is not just the delectable food, but also the warmth and friendliness of the staff. Whether you're a longtime patron or a first-time visitor, you're treated like family from the moment you walk in the door.Having frequented this establishment for years, I can confidently say that Deerfield Italian Kitchen consistently delivers on its promise of excellent Italian fare at reasonable prices. If you're craving top-notch Italian cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere, look no further than Deerfield Italian Kitchen. Highly recommended.“
“just ate dinner here with my family and had a great experience! did not take photos of my meal but will detail everything. ambiance: very small, close space inside with tiny tables. they could not fit everything we ordered on our tiny two top. restaurant interior was very clean but kind of boring. really happy that they found space our stroller. service: host, servers, and busboy were all very attentive and accommodating. however, everyone was frantically running around in a very manic fashion. the small restaurant was decently busy on a Friday night, but i did not enjoy“
“We love JJ Twigs. The pizza is always hot and fresh and they have really good sauce & cheese. The beef sandwich with cheese on garlic bread is hands down the best around. We typically get delivery and the drivers are professional and polite. The one time we ate there the service was good, the server was hustling to keep everyone happy and fun to talk to. A low key atmosphere and ok to bring the kids!“
“Definitely one of the top 5 pizza slices I have ever had. The jumbo slice is not only the biggest slice I have had,they have to cut it in half for you to really enjoy. I had the garlic dressing for the salad and it was amazing. I can't wait to try out the other items in menu. Best of all the workers are really nice, I Think it maybe a family owned business where you get that personal attention unlike corporate restaurants. Definitely going again.“
“What an amazing place. I have been coming here since I was a kid and I’m in my 40’s now and it just keeps getting better. Everything from the stuffed pizza to the pasta you honestly can’t go wrong. We have had family parties here and I pick up a stuffed pizza any time I get a craving. The owners are great people so friendly as well as the entire staff. Give it a try you will not be disappointed and can’t go wrong there!“
“I enjoyed my first time eating at Maggiano's. We celebrated my sis in law's birthday there. We ordered chicken entrees and pastas. The servings were enormous and they even have an option to order take home for a cheaper price. We tried their desserts-- the New York style cheesecake was just okay but their Tiramisu was so good. Since it was a birthday lunch, they served a piece of Tiramisu with a lighted candle for the celebrant. We were so full and still had lots of take-homes..Kid-friendliness: There were some toddlers from another table and saw that they were seated on a high chair and looked comfortable. The placement of tables and chairs were not cramped so the kids could somehow run around.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp at the entrance and the wheelchair could be freely pushed inside and fit into the dining area.“
“Very good Italian restaurant. The highlight for me was the prices which are extremely reasonable for a higher and Italian place. The atmosphere is real nice. The service was attentive and no complaints. I had the lasagna and chicken, Parmesan, combo plate, and our group of four ordered drinks, appetizers, meals, and dessert. Tiramisu was excellent. Meatballs for appetizer were great as well. I would highly recommend this place. The prices are probably only slightly higher than Olive Garden but this is for sure. A much better place.“
“My family and a couple of my sons hockey team members needed a quick food spot by the local Northbrook rink. Couple doors down from Pure Hockey too, bonus. Food was fantastic, lots of different options and had TVs to watch sports. Quick and easy. Menu was huge from Pizza, sandwiches/subs, salads, pasta and desserts. Staff was nice too. Would highly recommend.“
“Michelle is usually my sever (the 2 times I’ve come has been during the lunch special hr) She’s great. The Cesar salad is well done, as is the pizza. Sausage is my jam, my friend had cheese and my son had pepperoni. Great service and great pricing for a solid meal.Parking: Parking CAN be great or CAN be a pain…downtown Libertyville depends on time of visit for parking accessibility.Kid-friendliness: It’s an open space, and allows for kids to be around freelyWheelchair accessibility: The front door and vestibule are wide enough for classic or electric wheelchairs and the tables allow for great accessibility.“
“I’m not big on reviews, but these guys absolutely deserve one. I would post a picture of the food but I ate it too fast before writing this. Their tortas are not on the list to review, but they’re low-key a “hidden gem” here. By hidden I mean they’re on the back page of the menu but if you choose to get them, you will not be disappointed. They’re loaded to the brim, packed with flavor, and the bread is crispy and everything you want out of your torta filling holder. I’ll be trying their pizza next, as the single slices were top tier. They seem like super genuine people who care about their customers and I can’t recommend stopping by for a bite enough.“
“I love this place, and I've been going for over 10 years now. The manager might seem rough around the edges from time to time, but he's an extremely kind person. He just has a lot on his plate running a pizza place that's near and dear to so many people in and around the area. Thank you, Naps, for all you've done. I had an opportunity to see the back kitchen because I was doing an inspection on the building & I was impressed by how clean it was, and the products I was seeing them use looked authentic.“
“One of my all time favorite oldschool family owned places ,same recipe since day 1 in 1966! The very best thin crust in the Northwest Suburbs for sure ! Their homemade meatballs are amazing , add some to Manicotti or try Meatball Mushroom pizza for major “
“Austin was awesome! The staff was polite and attentive. When Austin got busy, Marco helped out. The restaurant is a beautiful hidden gem. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The restrooms were clean and well stocked. Can't wait to return when the weather is nicer so I can enjoy the patio.“
“What a wonderful experience. Now this is what a classic restaurant should be. The dining area was low lit, quiet with well trained waitstaff. Very nice and impressive. I asked if they could prepare an item not on the menu and they were very accommodating. The food was delicious, the background music was enjoyable and overall a great evening. We will definitely be back. I want to express my appreciation for an owner who understands what an adult evening out should be. Thank you.“
“Been coming here for 15+yrs and it never disappoints. Great food and a great value in a world where everyone is jacking up their price to absurd levels. Have had catering done for a large party, have had delivery, and stopped in for food many times and it’s always been consistent and good food. This place hasn’t changed a bit for as long as I can remember and I mean that in the best possible way!“
“We decided to try out Tre Amici for our daughter’s birthday party catering. We could not be more pleased with their catering package and the price was so reasonable to feed a large group. The sausage and beef combo, pasta, salad, and pizza package we put together was excellent. All the food was well prepared and our guests were complimenting everything the whole party. We would definitely use them again for our future catering needs.“
“Unbelievable beef sandwich, and the pizza is great, too. Definitely my favorite beef sammie I’ve ever tried! Perfect fries. Love a restaurant with SoBe Lifewater - feels like a blast from the past! This restaurant is immaculate. The theming is fantastic, the space is clean, and all of the booths/tables/etc are in excellent shape. You really notice since everything is hot pink and turquoise! Just obsessed with this place“
“They struggled with some quality and employees issues a while back but they have really turned the ship around in the last couple of months. The owner got rid of the bad workers and improved the pizza products significantly. Their thin crust pizzas are now the best in the area and rival many places in Chicago. A buttery crust is topped with delicious sauce and cheese. The oregano-leaning seasoning is just about perfect and toppings are fresh and tasty. The workers greet you and are very polite. They are now my go-to in Mundelein by a mile.“
“We usually frequent another authentic, wood-burning pizza place in Schaumburg, but when a new Italian restaurant opened in town, had to check it out!Ambience is nice and modern - almost like a 'sports bar' vibe...lots of TVs around, the colors scheme was RED - not sure if it was for Christmas/holiday time. Also not sure how it looks during lunch time or regular non-holiday time. It does not have a 'small, cozy, Italian family' vibe but a regular chain-restaurant vibe.Staff is suited up with uniforms. Our waitress was polite, friendly and attentive. We even had them make a simple pasta with marinara sauce (off the menu) for my kids - which they did.Food - I wouldn't call it 'authentic Italian'. It's American-Italian.I missed the 'Napoli' flavor; the taste of the dough is different - the personal thin crust pizza is still thicker than usual. The oven is not wood-burning. It's gas and is automatic - it keeps revolving at a pace (kinda cool to see!), but I believe, it impacts different pizza topings differently. Nothing bad, just different!“
“Just tried their lunch combo yesterday and it was such a great deal!! Two square slices of pizza and a bottle of soda for $9 and some change! The choices are: cheese, pepperoni, or sausage. The crust is crispy on the bottom and soft and fluffy on the inside! Sauce tastes great too!I’ll be coming back when I come back into town for business!“
“Sal and Tony’s has such a cozy atmosphere, and yet the dining areas are large, so you don’t feel crowded. All the wait staff and owners were so friendly, efficient, and professional, and the food was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back!“
