Living in Chicago back in the day, and working in NYC and Boston, I've had some really good pies,…read morebut this was pure heaven. So, now I'm thinking those other pies weren't hell, but maybe purgatory, which made this pie even better. As for the establishment, it was clean and friendly. The parking lot was spacious. Most importantly, I went to the store and placed an order. The young cashier in a camo Tigers hat kept apologizing for something wrong with their system and the wait time. I told him, "Look, no need, I'm off the clock, so I'm happy not to be working." Besides, I'd rather them take their time and make it right instead of feeling obligated to make it quick and in a hurry. Again, a friendly place. While I'm in town, I'm definitely returning for another pie. The bottom line is that during these tough times, try to give local businesses a chance instead of these chain restaurants. You might be surprised that they're not just good, but better.

Best pizza I've had in years. I wanted pizza but was tired of the usuals and Ray's had great…read morereviews. When I picked it up I told the awesome gentleman behind the counter that I'd heard good things. He said "if you hear good things, then say good things." Great advice, so here it it. We got two pizza's, the all meat and the spinach and feta, plus some garlic knots (which were great). I'm not usually a fan of all meat pizza but this was different. The sausage is not overpowering and it's not in huge clumps dotted around the pizza. It's ground fine, seasoned perfectly so it doesn't drown everything out and the other meats are equally balanced. No pepperoni that burns your soul or anything else that draws your attention away from just how good the slice really is. Even the sauce was perfection. We usually order light sauce from every place but wanted to try the first order 'as is' and we're glad we did. Not too much or too little. The second pizza we ordered was spinach and feta. Although I decided I didn't care for the cooked spinach (personal preference only) that one was equally as delicious. I cannot emphasize enough how fresh everything tasted. I don't care what anyone says. Freshness matters. You CAN taste the difference. From now on, Ray's is our pizza place. No question. Give them a try. You won't regret it. And like the man said. "If you hear good things, say good things'".

Food was amazing!! Came with my family last week and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals,…read moreespecially the filet and truffle fries! Our server was very sweet and attentive. Unfortunately, I don't remember his name but he was a lovely gentleman. Sadly, our experience with a woman who I believe was the host was not nearly as pleasant. When we walked in, my sister asked where the restroom was and this woman, with the rudest look I have ever seen on her face, looked her up and down and asked "why?". My sister was very confused and replied "what?". The woman then said with a disgusted look on her face, "the restroom is for paying customers". To this woman with the blonde bob, I pray that everything is okay and urge you to find a job that doesn't involve people. Otherwise, excellent food and service. Will definitely return and recommend!

The server was super kind, friendly and knowledgeable about the specials and the history of the restaurant. He brought bread and a dip (I forgot the name of it but it had eggplant, olives, celery and tomato). Both the bread and dip were good! I got a bowl of Italian wedding soup with my meal and it was the highlight of my meal. It was so amazing! The broth was salty and amazing, I wish I could eat a whole vat of it. For dinner I ordered the 5 pepper pasta. The chicken on top was good but the pasta was too spicy for me and the sauce looked like it had been sitting for a while, so was a bit of a miss for me. My one year old son really enjoyed the bread and the chicken fingers. The others also enjoyed their meals too.

So I wouldn't recommend going with those items. The clam chowder was watery and lacked any real flavor, sadly, because it's one of my favorite things usually. Main course was the farfalle pollo palomino; pasta was very overcooked and it could've been one of the most oily pasta dishes I've had. Ended up taking most of it as a carryout. Service: It was a Saturday night and they were definitely busy, but it took quite a bit of time for someone to even come by with some water, that's understandable. Ambiance: it's a nice restaurant, clean with a hint of old school country decor.

To broaden our experience, my friend and I split everything we ordered. Dinner was AMAZING....5/5 APPETIZER: "Burrata Camponata" A mound of this heavenly Eggplant Relish, severalthick slices of fresh Burrata oozing cheese, and a big mound of imported, freshly shaved Prosciutto off of the special shaver that sits in the dining room for the dishes that require this beautifully seasoned ham. Absolutely delicious appetizer! The basket of fresh Italian bread and olive oil for dipping was put to use with our glasses of Chianti and then enjoyed very soon as an olive oil topped bread base for our well-placed trio of this gorgeous appetizer. Next, for the salad, we chose to split the "Charred (on a hot coal grill !) Romaine on the grill Caesar Salad" with an anchovie garnish The perfectly seasoned croutons were made in-house, and so was their most divine (BEST I've ever had) Caesar dressing! We split 2 Entrees: Pasta Carbonara created in the imported, authentic, giant Parmesan wheel table-side Espresso-encrusted Prime cut sirloin steak Med Rare with roasted redskins and fresh, petite green beans. It was the most tender cut of beef with huge flavor, made even more so from the grill. It was perfection, simple fare, highest quality of ingredients, all prepared and presented beautifully. The staff were always attentive, though not smothering, and genuinely friendly with a ready smile. DESSERT: We split "heaven-in-your-mouth" x2 : a piece of Dubai Chocolate cheesecake and a serving of the Tiramisu. "Ecstasy," is all we could say as the perfect wrap-up to this gourmet trip to Italy Mangiabevi, you haunt me daily until I return.

Our dinner started with easy to make reservations for four for a Friday night. Once arrived we were promptly seated and introductions made, Annie was our server(and more). I had note seen the menu in over a year so I personally was delighted to see plenty of ocean going features, specifically the grilled Octopus, shellfish and more. Before the food everyone agreed on a drink. Everyone tried something different than the others. Drinks included a Chocolate Martini, Limoncello(homemade) like grandma made it) Martini, Tanqueray and Tonic and Makers Mark Old fashioned for me. Everyone agreed the drinks were just right. Annie was then asked to bring out some Grilled Octopus. A HUGE and thick long leg was then served. DELICIOUS! Dinner was ordered with some questions(by me). I was intrigued by the Black Linguine. Basically a fruit de Mare or shellfish but with white wine. I asked for a subscription to a spicy red pasta sauce, not available. However, my friends wife chose this and said it was delicious. My friend and also my opted for the table side Carbonara. Basically a long sting pasta with a cheese wheel at the table. The cheese gets heated up and then scraped and put into the pasta. Our cheese scraper was entertaining and put on a nice show. For me, I decided on the Branzino, which was served whole but deboned at the table, with sauteed spinach. From the first bite, I was in heaven. We then had a second round of drinks, the girls switched things up and went for Cosmos, us guys repeated what we had earlier. Lastly, we just had to have dessert and were we glad we did. Both couple opted to share with one another. Our friends chose the Profiterole which they said was delicious. However, everyone loved our choice; Nicciola Mousse Tart. This is a MUST get. I can't even describe it other than I should have gotten one for the road. This place also had some soft entertainment, keyboard player. So glad we made the journey here. Highly recommend it!
