“Amazing!! Best food and service in town!!!“

“My brother and I are from Indiana and they recently built small hole in the wall Lou Malnatis near us and I’ve never went before today was my first time and we’ve always been told you need to come to IL at an actual restaurant to experience it. Well everyone was right! We came in sat down got drinks fast and appetizers quick. Waitress has been very helpful her name was Alma, it was on a bit pricey but to be brought pizza and served to us was worth it. I’d come back again! Thanks for the hospitality!“

“Daily specials & Lunch specials 11am-3pm. Homemade lasagna and meatballs. Cannolis are out of this world !! Pickup and delivery both available and there’s a bunch of coupons to use on the back of the menu!“

“Great Mom n Pop pizzeria; quality is everything and some. You may have your doubts trying something new, But I encourage you get a slice and oh yes my favorite Italian Short Bread cookies; the kind Grandma would have out on Thanksgiving or Christmas heck even Easter. One incredible thing; this place isn’t one of gritty nitty chains that sell pizza, it’s again a Mom n Pop small business and that’s the way it should always be“

“Chicago Prime Steak House is my favorite place to go when I want a great steak. The staff is always friendly, and the food is always fresh.“

“Just moved to the area and Rosati’s was a welcome find. The pizza was as good as I remember it being, and delivery was surprisingly fast.“

“This was probably my first or maybe second time at Olive Garden? I always thought of Olive Garden as a basic restaurant, but now in my mid-30s and a self proclaimed foodie—I think I finally understand the appeal of Olive Garden. It’s not that it’s trendy or fine dining, but it’s that they’re just consistently good. I’m not saying this was the best meal I ever had, but everything was seasoned perfectly, the soup was nice and hot, and the pastas were cooked al dente with good flavors. The value was ridiculously good in this economy—2 drinks and 2 entrees (w/unlimited soup, salad, breadsticks) ran us ~$60 and we packed leftovers enough to last 1 or 2 more meals. Buying Taco Bell for 2 runs close to $40 now and here you have a full blown dining experience with sooo much food. They even offer a $6 pasta to go if you buy an entree, and all their mixed drinks were under $10—you really can’t find that anywhere in the Chicagoland area except a dive bar lol. The value just doesn’t end. Beyond the decent food, the factor that made our visit 5 stars was unequivocally our waiter Jay G. He was extremely kind, patient, and attentive. He should be the model of those in service industry. Thank you, Jay, for making our dinner experience so enjoyable. Your kindness brightened our day!“

“Best Pizza Ever! Friendly, helpful service as well.“

“First time visit, 10/14, won't be our last. Service was spot on, the staff was backing each other up to make sure everyone was being serviced quickly. Food was amazing. We only spend a few days each year in the area, but will definitely add this place to our list of must visit places.“

“NPT is the best pizza in the suburbs of Chicago! It is Neopolitan style pizza and they have pasta dishes as well. Their appetizers are excellent, their Tiramisu is top notch, and they have a good selection of wines and Italian sodas. Get over to NPT for authentic Neopolitan pizzas!“

“Good variety of food and beverages. Classic deep dish pizza. Love the cookie skillet for desert. Wow.“

“We had our Granddaughters birthday party, a group of 20, mostly adults. One of our group, Malcom had made a reservation. Our server, Katie was fabulous. Our group trickled in and drink orders were obviously not taken all at once. We ordered a large salad, a few appetizers, and some pizzas. Our food was served fast and hot. We were very pleased with Katie's efficiency, knowledge, our service, and our food. We'll DEFINITELY be back!“

“Always great fresh pizza at this location and can never go wrong with the $14 whole cheese pizza to take home for kids.“

“we had a great night at Lou's, the place was pretty busy despite the weather, and the staff here were really nice and friendly. Good deals on pizza and other dishes, really flavorful pizza, and I especially loved the sauce and the amount of toppings made for the best pizza I've had in a while. We really look forward to visiting again soon.“
