Holy Moly this place is fan-freaking-tastic!!! Traveling thru Illinois on our way back to Texas…read moreand the hubby and I were craving Italian. The hostess was fabulous and recommended her favs. She was very knowledgeable about the food and preparation. Started off with deconstructed grilled cheese and added a side of sweet butter. The hubby had lasagna and we had a front row seat to watch its preparation and baking in the wood-fired oven. I had the Bucatini Amatriciana. OMG, Heaven. As we were leaving they provided us with a free dessert. It was a chocolate cake with vanilla gelato. It was the chef's grandma's recipe. I brought tears of joy to my face. I wish I lived closer. I would be here once a week.

Seriously some of the best bread I've ever had. Next we split the lasagna Bianco and rigatoni. Both were large servings and quite good. We sat at the bar and watched the staff make the food which was fun. It appears you can bring your own wine which I love. My only negative is that it was really expensive- like white tablecloth Italian pricing. That would keep me from being a regular if I lived nearby.

The small Greek salad was a great accompaniment with plenty of feta and a tasty Greek dressing. I would have love kalamata olives instead of black,but a great salad. I kinda regret not eating in after walking in and seeing what a cute restaurant this place is. Like something from an Americana movie. I will go back!!

While passing through Effingham, Illinois, I had the pleasure of dining at a local favorite--Pizza…read moreMan--and I'm glad I did. This cozy, unpretentious spot delivers exactly what you hope for in a small-town Italian-American restaurant: hearty portions, comforting flavors, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the meatballs, and they did not disappoint--tender, well-seasoned, and served in a rich marinara sauce that tasted homemade. My dinner companion went with the cheese ravioli, which came piping hot and generously smothered in sauce. Both dishes were satisfying and full of flavor. One of the highlights of the meal was the salad bar-- while a small salad bar, it was fresh, well-stocked, and a perfect way to start the meal. The bread sticks were another pleasant surprise: warm, soft, and just the right touch of comfort on the side. Whether you're a local or just passing through Effingham, Pizza Man is a great stop for a relaxed, hearty meal that leaves you full and content. Definitely worth a visit!

Aja was out waitress and explained that Firefly is farm to table. We tried their spicy pineapple vodka drink and it was stellar, had two. For entrees, we both had the wrapped filet.

The shrimp burger is served with very crispy fries that they use a coarse salt sparingly on which is exactly how I like it. The arugula salad that is served with the muffaletta is every bit as good as the sandwich it comes with. The muffaletta itself is quite savory and very delicious. It is a little on the salty side so be prepared with plenty of water, but the flavor is well worth this small sacrifice. Their outdoor seating area is an absolute gem and we had a wonderful table here with a great view of trees and the pond nearby.

They make the pizzas right there at the campground office. It smelled absolutely amazing in there. I wanted to give them a try as they've only got one yelp review and it looked like a pretty tough one. It seems like it's a prettier popular place around here so something had to be a mess. We ordered the 9 inch hot mother clutter because I love a good buffalo chicken pizza. She had it ready in 10 minutes and I had asked her to make the crust extra crispy and she did just that as you can see from my photo. Pricing was very fair at $10.50 for a 9 inch pizza. In full transparency, I did add a little drizzle of hot Frank's buffalo sauce because we like our pizzas extra spicy and I forgot to request that. Absolutely yummy pizza and if I lived anywhere near here, I would be back on a regular basis.

Plus it's 2025, don't you have this down to an exact science by now? Won't be stopping here again.
