For appetizers we had: Mama Luca's Meatballs - delicious!! It's three big meatballs, and they were good! For courses we had: Tre Carne (yellow-sauced pizza), Charred pepperoni (red-sauced pizza), and the Truffle Fondue Cappellacci (pasta). The crust on both pizzas was huge and fluffy, so if you don't love a ton of crust, this might not be the choice for you. I love everything about a pizza, so it was delicious! The pasta was great too, and the truffle flavor was very prominent. Our server was very attentive, following up with us about drinks, gave us recommendations about foods since we had never been in before. She even brought a nice ice cream dessert with a candle to celebrate my birthday, which made the occasion even more special. Will be coming back!! :)

We had 7pm reservations and opted to just eat at the bar because of the prolonged wait. We ordered; Apps: Cheese Arancini/ Stuffed Squash Blossom Entree: Spaghetti Carbonara Drinks: citrus sangria and old fashioned Apps were tasty, my best bite was the Arancini as the sauce must've had Calabrian Chili or something to give it a subtle kick. Noodles were perfectly al dente. We liked that they had wine to purchase and a lot of unique flavors. They have a lot of other options on the menu that I want to try. Enter freely and prepare to wait, they've been approved:)

We got seated right away, got recommended the BEST Italian beer on tap which was CRISP. We ordered a garden salad to start with Italian seasoning - so refreshing and delicious The pizza was next! Crust was perfectly crispy - not too thick and not too cracker like, cheese was perfectly gooey, sauce was impeccable, and the toppings were loaded on -- we did jalapeños and pepperoni and it was FIRE! Seriously the BEST tavern style pizza we have tasted in the Chicago burbs! Absolutely amazing!! Service is super friendly, you can tell this is a spot where locals keep coming back. It's got that "everyone knows your name" kind of vibe. Bottom line: if you're in Downers Grove and want GREAT pizza without the chain vibe, Fast Eddy's is a winner. Can't wait to go back!!

My husband and I went for an early dinner, didn't have reservations, it was just us two. We were told an approx 10 min wait, which was fine. As we waited, we noticed a few empty booths for two in the bar - we asked to be seated, and they said of course. Very pleasant front end staff. Problem began with our phantom server, waited a while til someone approached us. No water, no menus, no server. Finally after almost 20 min, the server appeared, he seemed very frazzled. Spoke quickly. We asked for a menu, water, silverware & napkins. At almost 30 minutes, we finally ordered our entrees. I ordered Fettuccine Alfredo, and my husband ordered Arrabbiata Sauce w/spaghetti which came with a small side salad or soup. I chose soup, and my husband had a side salad. And we asked for some bread for the table. We waited another 20 minutes for our salad and soup, and I was given a tsp for the soup, all things considered, it was good. We saw the server twice while we were there, appeared very pre-occupied. The kitchen staff served our pasta meals. My husband said his was good, my Fettuccine Alfredo was also good, but very Al dente. Meantime, still waiting for bread .... All in all, it was a good meal, sometimes servers can make or break it! This individual really needs more training, or a different position. He made our experience very frustrating! But we will definitely give Labriola another chance!

We've been here for happy hour a couple times. Probably one of the best happy hours in the area,…read moregreat food, service is quick, and enjoy the ambiance.

Very good tavern style pizza. We did a half pepperoni and half sausage pizza. Both were good, yet…read morethe pepperoni while it was generous in portion was a tad on the greasy and saltier side. The sausage was definitely the fan favorite for the kids. I have to say the pizza crust was really enjoyable, crispy throughout and not too paper thin and robust enough to hold all toppings. As far as service, it's best to call in ahead to put in your order, as I've heard they only pump out 100 or so pizzas per day and seem to be in high demand. For example, we called in on a weekday at 4:45pm and pick up wouldn't be until 6:35pm. So roughly, two hour wait which was on par with what I've read about. The shop itself is very small. Only two tables and the rest of the space is dedicated to the kitchen and pizza oven. I'd recommend taking to go as inside runs hot from the big ol' oven. All in all, really great quality tavern style. Worth a try if you can time the order with when you want to eat. =P 'Til next time, cheers!

We are so glad we did! Because the cheese was perfectly gooey without being overwhelming paired with a delicious tomato sauce atop a complimentary crust with just the right amount of give to it. This may be the only thin crust pizza I would continue to get. The pan pizza was basically just the thin crust pizza with a lip on the perimeter and more cheese. This pizza was not nearly as good as the thin crust because if I'm going to eat a non-thin crust pizza, I want a more doughy crust and this just did not deliver. There was also too much cheese and it wasn't charred the same way the thin crust was. The inside is quaint with hats from all over everywhere. Service is also very kind and as quick as they can be with how busy it is.
