Italian Restaurants near Crest Hill

“I ordered 2 cheesy beef sandwiches on garlic bread with an additional order jalapeño poppers and mozzarella sticks. Our dinner was DELICIOUS!!! The beef was tender and juicy with a generous amount of good quality melted mozzarella cheese. The sides were yummy as well. I appreciate the quality of the ingredients that Rosati's uses from their salads, sandwiches, and pizzas. Since I moved to Joliet about 4 yrs ago and tried many different pizza joints, Rosati's in Crest Hill is #1 in my book. I highly recommend them.Also, my order was delivered quickly by a friendly driver, and the food was hot.“

“We always love Browns Chicken but because of the price we have not had it in the past few months. I went today and they do have many weekly specials so I will be going more often. This restaurant was very clean, one person working both dine in and drive thru while 1 person prepared all the orders. The food was hot and fresh.“

“This place is absolutely perfect! Clean restaurant, clean non greasy food, and great service! They make the spaghetti sauce at the restaurant! I had a gluten free Italian beef sandwich and he made me garlic bread that was gluten free! I have Celiac Disease and he was very accommodating. My husband said mmmmmmm with every single bite of his pasta dish! My 12 year old ate his entire meatball sandwich and he is extremely picky. I can't get him to eat anything ever. We had this Gelato that was gluten free/dairy free to top off our meal. If you are looking for a great place I highly recommend! Thanks for an awesome dinner. Will be spreading the word about this place time and time again!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“I sincerely love this place.. I really fell in love with the pizza... I found this little gem.. and have not been disappointed since... They really have a huge menu and always have homemade soup. Everything is made fresh. They have stuffed cabbage. Pierogies, blintzes.. fresh sub sandwiches. Anything you can imagine they can actually make. I really love the owners, family owned and ran....“

“My wife and I are gluten intolerant and Little Italian-West has great gluten free crusts and cook up the tastiest pizza in town! Both of our grown boys have always loved Little Italian and when they visit they always ask for their favorite Little Italian-West pizzas. Highly recommend!“

“Awesome little place. Breaded Steak Sandwich was Delicious! Fries were perfect too. Steaks were "Dipped". Got mine with Mozz. & Sweet Peppers. Wife got hers just as is. Phenomenal! First time out for us. But - Definitely NOT our last time. Absolutely going back. ??“

“Agreed by my husband and I both, EASILY a top 3 pick for us since we started doing new food Friday a couple of months ago. Forno Pizzeria & Bar was AMAZING! Awesome service, great menu options for drinks and meals, made sure to get our little ones food out first, fabulous vibe, a complete 10/10 for us!!!!!!! Highly recommend if you haven't tried it!!!!“

“Right from the start, everything was amazing. Rolls with garlic, nice salads, Veal Piccatta over Angel Hair Pasta ? and desserts were Top Notch - can't wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: I have a nut allergy and our serving was very accommodating, going to kitchen to make sure it was nut free.“

“My husband and I have been here several times. You never go away hungry. It's not a very big restaurant so don't go during peak hours. The food is fabulous! We've tried the Fettuccine, Ravioli, Pizza, ... and it's always been delicious. The staff are always friendly and very attentive. Highly recommend this place.“

“Capri Express Lemont is not just for take out; don’t be fooled by name; it’s the most atmospheric quaint little Italian restaurant west of Sicily. NOTE : don’t be fooled by the phony knock-off Capri Restaurant in Lemont across from the Jewel. This is the real Capri family owned and operated by Andrea Vitello Riviello the youngest son of the infamous family of Capri restaurants located throughout the south side of Chicago. This man used to bus tables at the original Capri in Berwyn back in the 1990’s. A true restauranteur. Over the last 40 years I’ve been frequenting the Riviello restaurants in Berwyn, Burr Ridge, Palos, Willow Springs, and Plainfield and I can tell you that Andrea is the best (il tutti buono). Don’t miss out for a truly intimate traditional Italian experience.“

“My husband and I have been here numerous times and it never disappoints. Phenomenal wait staff, food and drinks. From the person who greets you, to the person who cooks your food, to the manager who is very attentive, everything is perfection. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The kids and I really enjoy going here to dine inn. Bonus for us they have gluten-free options on pizza and pasta! The last time I was here, I had ordered a salad. The salad was enough for 3 servings and delicious. They have different drink specials on different days, i couldn't pass up a $5 frozen margarita! Always had friendly service.“

“I love this place! The best combo ever! Perfectly seasoned Italian beef and sausage. The fries were hot. The kid liked the cheeseburger! Can't wait to come back. Super cool staff... chatted it up a bit, very nice. Please cone to Blo-No!“

“Let me start off saying not only I am Italian, make homemade pasta, I travel often eat Italian food everywhere… this restaurant does an amazing job on food & service. I have now come here three times Marcia is wonderful, Ray is great tonight Lindsey was our server she was excellent! All three know these dishes, recommendations spot on! Good runners, hostess and gentleman who fills out water very attentive dishes taken away, carry out containers with a bag before I even ask! Ok let’s get to the food…. Meatball appetizer great! It’s homemade meatball fried like us Italians do most meatballs you get are purchased frozen heated up(I also have many family members who own restaurants) calamari light, tender perfection! We have ordered ribeye vesivio style, chicken Parmesan, chicken Vesuvio, cavetelli in vodka sauce, chicken with artichoke & capers all dishes delicious generous! Cappuccino is amazing! This is how cappuccino is made not at the star place! Dessert o have had the tiramisu and carrot cake both phenomenal generous portions. The price point here is great, food hot! I live down the street and this is my go to now! Great job to all!!! Love this place“

“My wife and I went there for the first time in many a year. We were greeted by Ava when we walked in and she quickly seated us at our table. Little did we know she was going to be our waitress. After seating us and bringing us water she explained the special of the day, half price bottles of wine. We ordered an appetizer (spinach and cheese garlic bread) and our pizza. Everything came out expediently and we were not disappointed. Ava was a fantastic host and waitress. I would definitely ask to be seated in her area again.“

“I truly recommend the steak, I’ve gone to Morton’s Streakhouse and the steak here is amazing, it’s as if you’re at a high end steakhouse.Great big portions for leftovers for later or next day for lunch. The pastas are amazing as well.Parking: If you don’t find parking in the front or the side there’s a parking lot that is a good 3 minute walk that’s free parking.Kid-friendliness: My kids are 14 and 11 so not small anymore. They loved the food selection.“

“Haven't been to Olive Garden Bolingbrook in a while. Went on a lunch date with my husband for the soup and salad and bread sticks, also added appetizers and everything was delish. Sat in the bar area and it was roomier and more quiet, had a great meal experience.“

“Yessiirrr! What can I say? It's the perfect place to take your family. Chicago special on thin, but when we have time, it's deep dish all the way. The Chopped Salad is fire! Mozzarella triangles are...yup...fire too! Get some! Let's gooooo!“

“Their thin crust is mediocre at best and forgettable. However, their famous deep dish is absolutely fantastic. It has a thick, yet incredibly light, buttery, and flaky crust that lets you eat a few slices without feeling like you have a lead balloon inside of you. The sauce, at least to me, was different/better on the deep dish compared to the thin which is good. Plus, a square cut deep dish is unique, giving your some messy but delicious inside slices. Skip the thin, get the thick here.“

“I ordered Easter lunch from Rosebud Lemont and was so delighted with the excellent service! I pulled up, they asked my name, and two minutes later brought everything to my car. Great customer service! Plus the food is always amazing. Thank you! Happy Easter!“

“Love that sweet authentic pizza sauce flavor. Only complaint I had was the Felicia's Antipasto salad portion size has gotten smaller. Used to be big enough for 2 servings now it's closer to a side salad portion.I still wish they had their Shorewood location for delivery to our area.“

“HANDS DOWN *BEST* PIZZA IN LOCKPORT ???Reigning from the beloved Stickney these guys opened up the 2nd location & it's absolutely KILLER!!! ?My mother grew up loving their ?, her so-called "childhood favorite". No doubt I had to give them a try & boy am I happy I did... A few years back!To this day, if I want a pizza around my town. You can find me at Villa Nova!! (picking up a ? to take ?)? LONG LIVE THE KING ?“

“Have had the eggplant parm sandwich before and it was always amazing. Just wasn't great this time. My dad's chicken sandwich with onion rings and frys were spot on! We will be back to give the parm another shot.Kid-friendliness: Lots of kid friendly menu items“

“Their broasted chicken is the best! I’ve tried places all over Illinois and theirs are my favorite. Their pizza isn’t bad either. We always get their meal deal which a bargain. When guests come they always enjoy the food, especially the chicken.“

“Went for valentines/anniversary w/ reservations walked right in and was seated promptly appetizer calamari okay but the seafood linguini to die for seafood out weighted the noodles by far excellent Big Sammy greeted us a couple of times to make sure all was good well it wasn’t Sammy it was fantastic thanks big guy be back real “

“Whenever I have a bad taste for a stuffed pizza this is my go-to place I love the sauce that's on stuffed pizza nice and garlicky always made my order right always good quality Pizza never any complaints been going to this Nancy's for quite some time“

“I've had the spaghetti dinner and the ravioli. My son had the Italian BLT. Everything was delicious service was excellent. Not to many mom and pop shops left and this family owned and operated business is a blast from the past. Will be going back and will definitely recommend to others. Keep up the great job.“

“We've been to many Italian restaurants in the Chicago area and find this to be one of the best. From the service, ambience and food - it's exceptional. If you know good cuisine and appreciate fine dining, this place won't disappoint. It's really a hidden gem in the south suburbs.“

“Nice place to relax have a cocktail or two and enjoy some conversation, with a friendly veterans organization. All these veterans groups need support, visiting some of them from time to time will show our gratitude for what they did in our countries time of need.“

“My wife and I went there to celebrate my birthday. We both had Shrimp Alfredo. Sarah was our waitress and was very nice, courteous, and provided us good service. Food, Salad and desert were very good also. Will definitely go back sometime in the near future.“

“Good Hot Boneless wings. Pizza is fire ? Pepperoni, Sausage, Pineapple is our favorite!!! Even though a lot of people say pineapple is not meant to go on pizza. They always give coupons with every purchase. I never have had a bad experience with customer service ?Thank you Rosati's!“

“What an amazing find. This location is the diamond in the rough. The owner is friendly, and the crew is knowledgeable.It's definitely worth the trip. Drove all the way from Plainfield for this chicken. It's worth the trip!Delicious ?“

“Aurelios Pizza of Plainfield is top notch because of its quality food, service and value. The inviting aroma of an established pizza and Italian-cuisine restaurant invites you in. The food and service brought to you by owner/operator Mike Pascale's team provide you with their "A" restaurant game from there. Highly recommend coming here for a great family meal!“

“Food was great with the exception of the Calamari. It was cut into very large pieces but was too chewey to eat whole and too tough to cut with the butter knife at the table.. Would go back, but wouldn't order the Calamari.Parking: Don't expect to get a spot in the closer lot if you go between 5 and 7 pm..“

“Loved the customer service great group of guys. Clean friendly atmosphere. Price is very comparable to the going rate product was extremely fresh and hot the sauce was excellent the cheese was plenty the pepperoni was great ham even better onions were a strong onion loved every bite. Reason i gave the 4 star for the food was the crust. Wasn't to impressive. Then again. Its been a while since i had a chicago deep dish pizza. Maybe i forgot the taste of normal crust for the deep dish it was cooked completely and delicate.“

“Always wondered food pizza is perfect every time. Chicken Caesar salad is amazing. They always make it the best around anywhere I’ve ever gone to get chicken Caesar salad this Rosati’s has the very best. Our delivery people are always kind quick and courteous and professional. Highly recommend this Rosati is over any other pizza place in the area?“

“Amazing experience from start to finish. The food was only surpassed by the service. I had the lamb chops that were cooked to perfection. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone. At every location, you should expect and experience the same level of excellence.“

“My wife and l were placed a carry out order by phone on a late Sunday afternoon. We ordered a medium pineapple and sausage with light cheese! 1 dinner salad no tomatoes with French dressing and a side of marinara sauce. The good: the pizza had a good amount of sauce and a lot of toppings! We liked the pizza overall. The French dressing was not the same as the Homewood Aurelio's location but was a good dressing. They have slices for $3 11am to 3pm on the weekends! We made a last minute decision to add a sausage and pepperoni slice! The slices were good! The slices were still available at 2:40 pm! The not good: not many toppings on the dinner salad! The pizza is not as good as the Homewood location! The pizza had a lot of cheese and was not light cheese. The pizza needed to be left in the oven a little longer to get a crispy undercarriage. Overall this is an ok Aurelio's location.“

“Well, it's a truck stop, so asking about the atmosphere seems unfair google... the Italian beef actually sucks at pops (sorry but bread that turns to slimy goo when auju'd is gross). But the gyros are good and other menu items are good. The service is ok, never particularly rude here, but definitely obvious no one works at a truck stop location as their first choice in employment.“

“This location is carryout and delivery only. I ordered my pizza online and picked it up on my drive back to St Louis. The pizza was hot and delicious. Everything was how I asked ie uncut and light on the sauce. Their pizza dough, mozzarella cheese, and pizza sauce do not contain any alcohol. Lou Malnati's mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, and romano cheese are all made with a vegetable rennet, not an animal rennet. If you're in the Chicagoland area, check them out.“

“I received a gift certificate from my boss to fat Ricky's. My wife and I had a large deep dish Chicago style pizza. It was delicious big enough for leftovers for the next day. The young lady at the register was so sweet and friendly. We will definitely go back to fat Ricky's “

“So far we have only ordered pizza for delivery from Baci's, The pizza has been very good every time we've ordered and I'll definitely be trying some of the other menu items. We think it's the best pizza we've had in Joliet! Prices are reasonable and the delivery time is quick.“

“One of the best pizza joints around. I love that you can get Detroit style and New York style. Everything is really good. Crust is really good and flaky on the thin crust and the Detroit deep dish is amazing. I'd never heard of it until we got it here. We order from them all the time. They always get it to you pretty quickly, and I'm all the way on the other side of town.“
