Each week in addition to their excellent menu, they give you another list of specials for that week, covering an appetizer, or meat, fish or pasta. And the complimentary loaf with olive oil and shredded cheese, is wonderful. This place is a gem. Their pasta and smoked chicken dish, is as tasty as you'll find anywhere.

Served warm Italian bread complimented with olive oil and shaved feathery parmesan. Drinks to order and delightful garlic crisps and cheesy bruschetta for our appetizers. So flavorful. With all the extras we all decided on salads and a shared bowl of penne primavera. The penne was surprisingly excellent with loads of fresh, crispy vegetables. The salads were dinner size even at lunch so order accordingly. Excellent restaurant. Will be back. As for service they were polite but we weren't checked on but once and we had to ask for her three times. Overall great experience.

One important thing to note about seating is that some of the tables are high-top bar tables. I happen to have a disability, so had they assigned our reservation with one of those tables it would have been a problem because it's hard for me to get up and down in those seats. The service was A-1! From the hostesses to the wait staff and management. They were extremely attentive throughout our meal. Instead of just putting the appetizers on the table, our waiter plated them for us. This is probably the only misstep during our meal. He assumed that all of us wanted a piece of each app instead of asking each of us which app we wanted. We ordered stuffed mushrooms and bruschetta. A couple people didn't like mushrooms. Also, we had more people joining us so by plating all the apps upfront there wasn't enough for the rest of our party. Even still he was a great waiter. The food was phenomenal! I got the steak and eggs from the brunch menu. The cut of steak was like a hanger steak. When I say cooked and seasoned to perfection!?! It was one of the best restaurant steaks I've had. Our entire table enjoyed the food we ordered, including the cocktails. The food is pricey, but for an elevated experience or special occasion it is absolutely worth the visit!

I'm always happy to pick up a pizza from Gelsosomo's when I am traveling in this area. Although…read morethey aren't currently accepting online orders, it is easy to call in an order and pick up at the convenient drive up window. My favorite pizza is the Hawaiian Volcano.

I know they have a lot of different games, such as VR machines, duckpin bowling, darts etc but if you come at any point in the daytime it is usually so overrun with children that having a drink or adult time is strange. If you go too late on a weekend you can run into a much younger party vibe. The bar itself is so nice and large, and they have a ton of options for cocktails and other options. The food has been consistently pretty good for us from burgers to nachos to grilled cheese. We've never had a problem with the service and love coming back here, like I said you just have to pick your poison when thinking what type of atmosphere you want to be in.

I called and explained the situation, who ever I talked to was apologetic and told me they hired a new cook. Told me they will put my name in their book and next time I came in I would receive a credit. Went back about a month later and they don't remember my call, no name in their book. Would not make it right. Offered me 30% off my order and that was it. I was not wanting a discount nor did I want something for free. I just wanted what I paid for. I gave you my money and in return you did not give me what I ordered. So I cancelled my order today and told them they can keep my $15, will not eat there again. I understand that everyone has a bad day and mistakes happen, but it's how you make the situation right again is what matters.

I had several people here helping me that day, and they can all confirm that I did not yell at the driver. What makes this even more frustrating is that I have placed numerous delivery orders with them since that date without any issue. Yet today, when I called, I was suddenly told I could no longer receive delivery because of this alleged incident. To make matters worse, the manager I spoke with began yelling at me during the call, which was completely unprofessional and unnecessary. The entire interaction was upsetting and frankly despicable. I did place one final order tonight, but after this experience, I will never order from Aurelio's in Crown Point again.
