We went on a Friday night and were immediately seated. The restaurant was clean, the service was prompt and the food was decent. For some reason, the pizza didn't have the "typical" Aurelios taste though. This was my first time at the Mokena location, but the Homewood is much better. Even the Tinley Park location has the "typical" Aurelios taste though. Not sure how to describe this pizza...it wasn't bad, just not what I expected given the other locations.

Having heard Aurelio's commercials during Chicago Blackhawks games, but having never been to one, I finally went in! I happened to be passing by the pizzeria, saw it out the car window, and knew I had to take the chance to try it. Kathy, the bartender and server, was so very professional, polite, and friendly. And by luck, I happen to have the opportunity to meet Jay, the owner, and I must say every bit the same about him. Aurelio's Pizza was everything you'd expect of an old-school neighborhood, family-style pizzeria. The decor was warm wood tones, comfortable, pleasing, lots of red, and tons of Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago White Sox memorabilia. The dining room was spotlessly clean, as was the men's bathroom. I ordered a personal size cheese pizza, just something to satisfy my urge to taste this famous Pizzeria, and something to fit my very modest budget. A little over $7 fit the bill, and the pizza filled my belly! The handmade crust had the perfect imperfect shape, wonderful colors, delicious and natural and fresh taste. The crust had the perfect balance of crunchiness, chewiness, and weight. The sauce and cheese on top matched, wonderful colors, incredible texture and a memorable, delicious taste, and not one drop of excess grease. It was so beautiful when it arrived on my plate that I didn't even want to eat it, but I had to! What a great experience in a great lunch! I will be back! Aurelio's Pizzeria is easily visible from the road, has ample parking, excellent customer service, reasonable prices.

Pizza was fine but it's so darn expensive. It was over $40 for ONE pizza. There are better options in town.

Don't fall asleep on Enrico's. It's been around for 50 years, and once occupied a larger space on…read morethe very busy corner of LaGrange Avenue and Rt. 30 in Frankfort, IL. There's plenty of competition in this area, and when they moved to the smaller, cozier spot they occupy now, I kinda forgot about them. Shame on me because we recently had a wonderful meal on a very crowded Friday evening. Granted, the space itself is pretty small, but we got there at 5:30 and waited about 20 minutes for a table for 3. Happy to report that it was worth the wait. Our server Kahleah was prompt, friendly and attentive, so our service was very good. We ordered a bottle of Italian wine and began tackling their pretty expensive menu. My wife settled on the Friday special of Sautéed Lake Perch, I went with the Garlic Shrimp and Linguini with a bowl of the Clam Chowder and my mother had their famous Baked Minestrone soup and the Italian Street Tacos off the Appetizer menu. All of our food was absolutely delicious. My shrimp were huge, and perfectly cooked. My wife's perch was very light, flaky and delicious. Both of the soups were hearty and perfectly seasoned and the Italian Street Tacos were really flavorful, and a creative twist on a taco. As I mentioned earlier, there are plenty of dining options in this area, and probably 4-6 other Italian restaurants alone within a 10 mile radius. I've been to most of these places, and I would argue that Enrico's could be the best of them all when it comes to atmosphere, service, value, quality and overall taste of their food. There's definitely a reason why it's been a staple in this community for 50 years. We'll be back!!

We had dinner on a Friday night and started out with meatball appetizer which was good. My daughter loved the jalapeño Mac and cheese and I had the beef sandwich. I love how they serve it on garlic bread and provide a cup of au jus sauce for dipping. We also bought a pumpkin pie to go and it was awesome.

Three of our dinners ordered were OK but my one dining companion ordered the Italian baked shrimp dinner and when it came out and she started eating it, she dropped her fork on the plate and said oh my God it's so salty. I flagged our waitress down and said to her that my friend isn't happy with her dinner and the waitress, replied "we don't take food back just because somebody doesn't like it" Before I could even explain to her that my friend has high blood pressure and is on a sodium restricted diet, she asked her if she would like something else and my friend said just a small plate of Italian rigatoni. I have never been to a restaurant before where food that wasn't acceptable, whether it was the taste or confusion between the menu description and what was brought out refused to take the food back and replace it with something else. I was very unhappy with the response of the waitress and should have asked to speak to a manager, but alas, it was a birthday outing and I didn't want to make a big scene. When the check came, it was over $250 for 4 people! (I thought they would have discounted the price of the shrimp dinner ($31.95) since they refused to take it back, or not charge her $11 for the small plate of rigatoni, but they did) Needless to say, we will never dine there again...

FOX News on the TV? What a way to ruin the evening. Food was OK, but expensive for the portions…read more I'm not sure I've ever left one of our local Italian restaurants without being completely full or with leftovers to take home except here. Nobody I saw here had leftovers. Our waiter was good. But really, FOX? I'll not go back.
