Italian food is our most favorite cuisine. Many Italian restaurants are fancy high price place restaurants. We were excited to find a casual Italian restaurant where the emphasis is on serving delicious food rather than having a fancy setting. The fried zucchini with homemade ranch dressing was very good. Be sure to ask for additional parmesan cheese to sprinkle on it. The rigatoni with vodka sauce was very good. I had the Buratta salad with red pepper strips and balsamic glaze. I would order this again. One minor point. The salad greens were about 50% spinach leaves and then the other 50% was mixed lettuce. For me, that was too much spinach. Their balsamic dressing was perfect for this salad. I wish we lived closer to this restaurant. I would come here very.often.

We arrived promptly at 5:50 PM and were told by the hostess that our table would be ready shortly. I will say the restaurant was packed with families enjoying dinner. We were seated at approximately 6:20 PM when multiple tables opened up. While waiting for our table I noticed the various dishes being served to the tables in my viewing area. They smelled amazing and appeared to have very generous portions (leftovers). We were seated and our waitress Dalena M, quickly came to our table for our adult beverage selection. I ordered a Cozy Sweater beer, which was too light of a beer for my liking. Our friends ordered a red glass of wine and a lemon martini. For our appetizers we ordered Grilled Octopus, which was cooked to perfection. For our main entrees, I ordered a Fields of wheat chicken & bacon Ranch pizza & my wife ordered a Margherita pizza. Again, both pizzas were cooked to perfection. I was a bit jealous as I also have a woodfired pizza oven from Italy in my backyard, but unfortunately mine dough never tastes this delicious. For dessert my wife ordered Affogato (which is he go-to dessert) which was delicious. I ordered a coffee and strawberry cheesecake. The coffee was very good, and the cheesecake was very creamy and not dry. We are planning on returning with our adult children and their spouses.

The party room looks awesome, I'd love to know it's happily used for lotsa fun Elgin events . Tomato & mozz salad underwhelming. But a good healthy addition to everything we were ordering even if mediocre. Heavens sake we need fresh veges sometimes Mom loved the crispy onion rings & the dressing (our appetizer). It was all about making her happy - and extra crispy onion rings with plenty of dip = happiness The holiday decorations plus lotsa Taxidermy kinda odd but Mom was fascinated. If she's happy I'm thrilled. Overall. Giant space in South Elgin. Lovely. Pizza was very well priced. Our server was awesome esp my Mom's obvious dementia impacting her public food activity (shoot, I can't remember our servers name - but she was obviously a pro & handled my family, I'd be happy to hang out with her again).

I've tried their meat lover, cheese, sausage, supreme and giardiniera. I would recommend trying the giardiniera if you like a little kick to your pizza but honestly you can't go wrong with any of these choices. One thing I would say is that their crust is pretty thick and doughy but that's fine with me cause I like it thick ;)

It still took my order but I had no confirmation and felt like I was going in blind. I placed the order and it said it would be ready in 1 hr 15 min. I ordered $100 worth of pizza including the pan pizza. I knew it would take longer because the menu said so. Went to pick up. Customer service wasn't even average. The young girl working was miserable. No hi, how are you, smile, or customer service period. Just hit me with the old, what's the name on the order. I told her and she says it's going to be an additional 25 min. Was not happy to hear considering the weather was getting worse outside and I had 6 other people waiting on me for dinner. I waited inside an additional 35 minutes until the order was finally done. I understand it was a Saturday night and football was on, but, like another Yelper posted below, let the customer know ahead of time. Have the system update and let folks know it will be a longer wait. While I was waiting for the order, someone called in asking where their pizza was. There was confusion amongst the staff and the customer on phone was told the driver was finally on the way. That explained a lot right there. Seems this is a common issue. The pizza was not correct as ordered. Ended up with different toppings than what we had originally ordered but everyone had waited 2 hours to eat so we just ate it. The pizza is OK. A friend recommended this place and honestly, there's so many better choices in the Chicagoland area. I don't think I'll be back! If you do order- beware of wait times!

They work very hard to keep up with all of the orders coming in. So,"Hats off" to them. I would only recommend they do drills during down time. From the time an order is called in, to the time it is placed in that warmer. There should be a calculation for this time during a very bust time. Then have your team stick to it. If they do we'll for the weekend, they should be granted 2 free pizzas at anytime during a week span. Employee morale will go up. They will work hard for you. Be honest with the customer. If its 2 hours, tell them just that. Let them choose. As for me and my house, we love your pizza, and will order it as often as possible.

When I called I was very disappointed to hear they discontinued my staple, The Grinder on garlic toast. Oh well...I am flexible... I was exited about the chicken parmesan sandwich in garlic toast, we also ordered a chicken Alfredo, Italian beef and fries. To start with my chicken parmesan WAS NOT on garlic toast (which I paid extra for) the chicken was overcooked, dry and strips. Ate about three bites. The fries we under cooked and soggy and the chicken parmesan had NO flavor. Italian beef was neither good nor bad... Well, anyone can have an off day so I decided I would just stick to their pizza which historically had been delicious. Fast forward to today, I was returning for a 2.5 hour drive and thought I'd treat myself to a delicious pizza for today and preparing for tomorrows incoming snow storm. I picked the pizza up and headed home. Sadly, I should have checked it there before leaving...the bacon was all burnt (tasted burnt not just looked burnt). Yes, I did pick off most of the burnt bacon, but got $30+ for a picked up pizza that is not really ok with me ... beyond that the crust was soggy and I couldn't really pick up the pieces to eat them. It will be an extremely long time before I order or go there again. Makes me very sad as this used to be a staple of mine and it is SOOOO close to home. Good luck if you choose to give them a try...
