Had some pretty okay pasta and pizza at this place in Lena. It may be a place mostly for takeout…read morebut there's still a seating area inside there. Saporito's is one of the few places in town to get pizza or Italian whatsoever. A long time local hangout. The space inside may be limited but it has charm somehow. Coming in here to order we thought maybe the only choice was to get it to go. It's pretty small looking from the outside. They actually have a few tables. A cool thing is these have tomato cans. They put the food on top of these. It's about $6 for the spaghetti. The small portion is actually pretty big too. Basic looking as far as pasta goes to be honest. Pay another buck for each extra ingredient. We got it with mushrooms. Pizza is kind of basic. The prices for this are higher. Great thing there's not much of competition around. It's a place okay to bring families. They're closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

So if he is bar 12, I am bar 7. Not bar 4. To have bartenders who lie to customers is not a good look. Think twice about eating here as you may be lied to your face.

No pictures for this one. I had the French dip sandwich…read morewhich I would rate at a 4 of 5. It had a lot of meat on it and the jus was excellent. However, the meat was slightly dry which kept it from being perfect. The tator tots aren't very good. More on the store bought and not crispy side. The service was great with the owner offering good conversations until the food was prepared. Give it a try, eat some sandwiches and maybe try their pizza, but some for the service and friendly environment.

Technically I've eaten at Cannova's twice now. However the first time was carry out. That time we…read moreordered two pizzas for carry out. Both were BBQ Chicken, but one was on Gluten Free crust. Yes, they offer a variety of gluten free items for those that are gluten sensitive. The pizzas were really good. They weren't traditional pizzas, but the way they made it was fantastic, one of the best BBQ Chicken pizza's I've ever had. The sauce was their own sauce with Sweet Baby Ray's added to it. No complaints here. If you're looking for a non-traditional pizza, this one is pretty solid. The second time we went was for a date night. It was a Friday around 7pm, we didn't have any reservations, but were able to be seated with minimal wait. Our server was a nice older lady. She was very friendly. After perusing the menu I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana over Spaghetti. It was good. The breading on the chicken wasn't as flavorful as I've had at other places. The sauce was decent. Over all I thought it was good, nothing to be wowed by, but still good. My girlfriend had the Alfredo Sauce (A signature menu item for which they're known) over Gluten Free pasta. She seemed impressed with the sauce. She thought it was good, much better than other places. The restaurant itself is a nice restaurant with an old charm. The décor is very rural 60's Midwestern super club style. There's old photos of the family and from around Freeport on the wall. There's a piano in the middle of the main room, and if you're lucky Pat, the owner's husband, will play it. He received his B.M. and M.M. in piano from the University of Illinois-Urbana, per their literature. They also have an upstairs area for private parties. Both times I was the upstairs level was being utilized. The only real issue I have with Cannova's is the Parking. They have a very small parking lot, it's not nearly enough for the size of the restaurant. This leaves you have to search for a place to park. Hopefully you get lucky and someone is leaving as you pull in. Other ways you have to park up the street or in a neighboring business' parking lot. Overall, it's a nice restaurant. I'll definitely be back. The next part is informational only. You do with this information as you will. It plays no part in my rating. Let your own personal beliefs and politics us this as you see fit. The Staff wore masks Mask wearing was enforced. There was sanitizer offered. The tables were thoroughly cleaned before new patrons were sat. Social Distancing was not enforced. Limited seating was not done. We were rubbing backs and shoulders with the tables next to us.

The manager said that well your pizza was ready and you can come get it repeatedly through the conversation and refused to do anything about it. I get the frustration on their side but they really need the foresight to have a mechanism to cancel online and the management should quickly come to the realization that if someone is calling about this situation to help them. Who orders 3 hours ahead of time just the F with a restaurant 3 hours later. Also meant that my pizza was done 20 minutes ahead of time.

Their pizza ranges from small to the largest pizza you'd have ever seen... 24+ inches. Came with my family here and ordered 4 medium (14 inches), unique pizzas. Each looked better than the other. When we started separating each slice the melted cheese kept getting longer the more you pulled the slice. We had Cimino's Deluxe, Spaghetti Pizza, Taco Pizza and Cheese Pizza. Everything tasted delicious. We couldn't even finish everything. Our waitress was such a great personality and great sense of humor. Highly recommend Cimino's Little Italy.
