    The pizza was pretty good, but the service was slow. I know it takes about 45 minutes to cook a pizza but overall the service was kind of slow, but the customer service was good no doubt about it. Food: one thing that we really enjoyed were the wings. My god these are some of the best wings I've ever had. I'll be honest I think I like the wings better than the pizza. I've been to this location before or restaurant if you will, but I went to the one I think it was Las Vegas. I think the one in Las Vegas tastes a lot better. This one was good. It was just a little bit different. I'm not sure what was missing here, but it tasted little different. It has been a while since I've had this style of pizza from Las Vegas. I know it. It started in Chicago, but maybe it was just me. Don't get me wrong. The pizza was great. We enjoyed every single bite. We also had some fries with Parmesan cheese on them, which were good. But I have to go back to the wings. If I came back here I would definitely order some wings. Little things like bringing plates, refilling drinks, the service was slow, but I get it. They may have been a little bit busy, but I will definitely come back. No doubt about it I'm getting them five stars because The pizza and wings were solid.

    Great chicken Parmesan and pasta!

    I know everybody raves about their Chicago style pizza, but I didn't have half an hour to wait for it to cook. So I went with the tavern style. As you can see from my photo, it's cut into squares, which I love and is typical for this type of pizza. However, they put the pepperoni underneath the cheese. This is controversial. I prefer the pepperoni on top so it can crisp up and char. It also adds to the texture of the pizza. With the pizza under the cheese, it stays soft and really blends in with the cheese. It tends to subdue the taste of the pepperoni. Even with this, it had a good overall flavor, and I would order it again. Chicken Parmesan and pasta is also very good. See the photo. The facility was typical for a pizza/pasta restaurant, not too flashy but comfortable. Would come back again!

    So good! We went from Illinois and we stopped for Chicago style pizza on our way through! It did not disappoint! Everything was delish! It was lunch time and it was quiet. Service was good. We would definitely return given the opportunity!

    I have not had Deep Dish Chicago pizza in years. This is SO good!! This is a very nice restaurant with a great staff.

    We really wanted to try a Chicago style deep dish pizza on our cross-country move and were recommended Giordano's. We intended on getting two personal pizzas, but the owner recommended we do a small half-and-half for a true deep dish experience. We're so glad we followed his recommendation. My partner ordered a pepperoni pineapple on his side and I got the veggie without green peppers. Note that they put some of the toppings under the sauce. They even gave us some water for our dog. We both loved the pizza, but their service really pushed this to 5 stars for us.

    If you want great Chicago style deep dish pizza. then Giordano's is the place for you. If you dine in and order deep dish, expect a 30 minute wait. They make everything to order, so have an appetizer or a few adult beverages to pass the time. The service was great and the pizza was delicious. I recommend it!!

    I was in the area and I had to go with a deep dish pizza. Heard many things about Giordano's so I figured I had to check it out. I went in for dinner on a Monday night and it wasn't busy. I took a place at the bar and was greeted by the server. Ordered the Chicago classic deep dish pizza and was told it would take 30 minutes. Had a few drinks while I waited for my food. When the pizza came out, I was excited as it looked good. The pizza itself was actually pretty good. It comes with pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, and onions. I really enjoyed that combo! The sauce wasn't as flavorful as I'm used to but it was still good. I do wish they had a little bit of sauce in the middle of the pizza. The sauce is just on top and it was stuffed with cheese. Now I'm not complaining about the cheese since the cheese pull was great! But a little sauce mixed in there would of taken it to the next level. Regardless, it was a very enjoyable pizza. I couldn't finish my pie and left full. Overall, I enjoyed my time here and would make another visit when I'm back in the area

    Sampler appetizer platter. Fried mozzarella, buchetta, toasted baguette with fresh mozzarella, cheesy garlic bread and boneless wings.

    I've never had Chicago Deep Dish pizza. I had to give it a try and this is the place to try it! The waitress helped us choose our first pie, and assisted us in choosing appetizers and even coached us on how best to eat the pizza and appetizers. The place gave a feel of an authentic pizzeria, and was super clean. I highly recommend!

    Came in around 1pm for a quick bite with the MIL. We both got personal 6" pizzas, one topping. She opted for the lunch special which came with a side (soup, salad, or something else which I can't recall). I just got the pizza. Silly me--she saved a dollar and got salad. I could have ordered the lunch special just to save $1 and not even have the salad. What was I thinking? Lol Clearly not about saving a dollar! Service was splendid. The pizza came out a bit slow, but worth the wait. Seriously, worth the wait. This place also has frozen pizzas to go. What?! Awesome!

    Eat here on most of my visits to Rockford. Consistently good Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. Generous toppings. Well not really toppings since there on the bottom. Tons of gooey cheese and a well balanced tomato sauce. Ordered carry out and it was ready on time.

The food was delicious. We ordered the salmon entree and the chicken parm. The Salmon was just okay but the chicken parm was one of the best I've had. The sauce made the meal. Each meal came with soup or salad, potatoes or pasta, dessert and coffee. The salad was yummy, particularly the house dressing. The bread was fresh and soft. We both made a mistake and asked for a baked potato instead of pasta. The potato was fine but both our meals paired better with pasta. The ice cream with coffee was a nice touch.

OK back to the food. The salad was the best I think I've ever had for a house salad. It was a vinaigrette dressing, but what made it so good was slices of Italian sausage and hard-boiled egg. I would've been happy with that, but no, I had to have more! I ordered the veal piccata with lemon sauce, and it was delicious. One of the ladies ordered a salad which looked like an Italian forzale , which is a ring of Italian hard bread with vinegar and oil on it and chopped tomatoes. It was very good and I've never seen it in a restaurant before. Everyone really enjoyed their dinners. It was one of the girls birthdays, and they stuck in the ice cream a large sparkler. Nice touch. Can't wait to go back again and try their pizza.

Both our mains were a bit disappointing. The cook on my husband's steak was incorrect and it had zero char-- pretty much totally gray. My risotto was undercooked with a bit too al dente rice and watery sauce. It also was underseasoned. However the seafood was great so I ate that without hesitation. I keep saying I like but don't love Francesco's, and for dinner for $275 for two people in Rockford, I just expect better quality if we're going to be paying downtown Chicago prices. I would go back but it's not going to be a meal I seek out.

After a short wait, Lisa started bringing out our order. She is so friendly and efficient (we remembered her from previous visits). Pablo also came out again to check to see if our order was complete and apologized again for the mixup. Our Italian beef sandwiches were delicious as usual (best in the Rockford area).
