“I have been here twice. 1st time I had the burger and it was very good. This time I had the cheesy beef with a side of giardiniera, au jus for dipping, marinara and a small fry. The beef is definitely home made and probably on of the most tender beefs I've ever had, great flavor, just awesome! The Giardiniera is home made and has the perfect amount of heat, marinara sauce is very good too. The fries are fresh cut and also very good. Don't let the look on the outside fool you. It's not your average fast food place. It's way above that. I will be back to try other menu items.“
“I cannot rate the atmosphere, because we ordered for delivery. We ordered a 16 inch, thin crust pie for dinner. The estimated time was 45-60 minutes, but it arrived in 25. It was hot and delicious, and we will order again.Parking: If it's busy, you are going to have to walk a bit from your car, unless you are just picking up your order. Most people just pull up to the curb for that and run in. I always park, so I am out of the way, and at dinner time I have to park in the lot across from the building.“
“I was there last night for the first time for a birthday party. The service was wonderful, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was very nice. I took at peek at the outdoor dinning and it looked so nice and what a view! The bartenders were fabulous! They had karaoke there last night too. Oh, and if you like carrot cake or cheese cake, (I’m sure all the desserts are just as delicious) save room for dessert! I will definitely be coming back.“
“We have been ordering take out food from Papa Saverio's in Elgin for 25 years. We usually order the thin crust pizza and chicken wings. The pizza is our favorite in Elgin and tastes like the Chicago style pizzas we grew up on. It has a very good sauce and a crispy crust. Our out-of-town kids miss this pizza and they order it every time they come back to Elgin.“
“THE BEST Deep Dish pizza ever!! We’ve been ordering here since it was Jake’s Pizza. We live out of town now, but every time we go to Elgin or anywhere in that area…. We ALWAYS have to stop to get a deep Dish sausage to bring home! Keep up the excellent work Mel’s Pizza! I give them a 10 + stars.“
“Last night I went to a place that has been on my list for quite a while. I went to Papa Saverios on 853 s Randall Rd in Elgin. It's a takeout and delivery place. While my pizza was cooking I chatted with the owner Sarah. She is a very nice and tries really hard to give her customers the best product. I went with the 14" sausage pizza. Very crispy and firm crust with a light dusting of cornmeal and cooked perfectly in that CUTLER oven. The sauce had some oregano and a very fresh tomato taste. The GRANDE cheese is the best and it's silky smooth with a great flavor. Dean's homemade sausage didn't disappoint. The sausage was very juicy and had a good amount of fennel. All of the ingredients just went together perfectly and you could almost taste the freshness of the ingredients. This was a damn good pizza and I highly recommend this place. ✨“
“My wife and I had dinner reservations on a Sunday at 5:30PM. We had hoped we would get a nice table towards the windows overlooking the pond outside, but we were seated very close to the entrance to the restaurant. The waiter's service was prompt and very satisfactory, the food was accurately described on the menu and was also very good. The average sound levels at our table measured about 90db on an app on my iPhone, so my wife and I had a very difficult time just trying to talk with each other during our dinner. We both decided to not go to the Elgin Morretti's again due to very poor acoustics in that restaurant. We live close by and the Morretti's delivery service has been excellent in the past, so we can get the food delivered. Maybe if you go at a less busy time, it might not be quite as loud with less people sitting near by.“
“I met my parents here the other day as we both traveled some distance to meet up. This restaurant was absolutely wonderful atmosphere, small & quiet when we were there. I believe we had their lunch menu, and I ordered the Capellini pasta, my dad got Eggplant Parmesan, and my mom got the Italian Beef. Unfortunately I would suggest the entire staff of the restaurant needs to eat that same sandwich my mom ordered. She said it was dry & had no flavor, as if they boiled the fatty meat in plain water and threw it onto a crispy piece of bread. Thankfully she said something(my mom has never sent food back my entire life and I’m in my 20’s she’s in her 60’s) so for her to ask it to be removed from the bill just shows how gross it was.Our server was WONDERFUL, and of course she took it off the bill, and encouraged my mom to order another dish. She settled on the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and broccoli. She was throughly pleased with that dish, so it all ended well.The restaurant seemed cleaned and well managed other than maybe their Italian beef haha.Advice for future customers, don’t order their beef unless they change their recipe.Advice for the restaurant, PLEASE have a tasting going on for your staff members. The person who creates/created the recipes and cooks them needs to allow constructive criticism/feedback on their dishes. It really helps your staff;A) know your food betterB) allows for more ideas to help your kitchen/staff blossomWould definitely come back here again due to the wonderful service and delicious pasta!“
