    Salad
    Gladys P.

    Came here with the team after our hockey tournament, perfect casual spot to relax and hang out. I'm visiting from CA and told myself I didn't need to try their pizza but I'm so glad I did, the deep dish was amazing! And huge! We had leftovers and ended up bringing it to the airport the next day and enjoying it there. Salad was great as well as the mozzarella sticks and fries. So glad we tried this place out.

    Nice place with a good menu and a wide variety of food options. On the day I was there was a Philly Cheesesteak Special. It was verty good!!

    Italian Beef w/hot giardiniera
    Jake S.

    Was in the area over the weekend and stopped here both days. I got the 9" Italian beef with hot peppers and some fries. This might have been the best Italian beef I've ever had. And I've been to a lot of places for Italian beef sandwiches... Portions were great, beef was super tender and full of flavor. Highly recommend!

    Pepperoni Pizza

    It's been a minute since we've had Father's Day Ricky's, but oh yum. Honestly the only pizza I could eat an entire pie on my own. Thin, but not crunchy dough sauce isn't sweet, but very savory and the cheese and topping ratios are on point. We dined inside on this visit and I honestly was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of each slice, but here's a slice of pepperoni my kiddo devoured. The ambiance is very inviting. There's a bar area, and what appears to be a banquet room in the far corner. Ordering by the slice made life easy too.

    "Italian Beef special"

    I've been coming to this restaurant for a couple of years now. Because I work close by the neighborhood. My 2 favorites I usually get most of the time, are the pepperoni pizza special, and the Italian Beef special. I highly recommend others to try my 2 favorites when you're in the area . They have a nice size menu to choose from, nice customer service, a bar with beer on Tap, tv's at the bar and eating area, and extra rooms for parties and other gatherings, along with a date night or game day. I'm looking forward to come back and try other items, and I recommend others to check them out as well.

    Pizza & Grilled Chicken Samdwich

    Nice spot in the Chicago area. I was in route to a customer meeting while working in Chicago. I needed a place to jump on a Teams meeting and grab a quick lunch. This place was a good spot for both. Plenty of room and tables for work/virtual meetings, but be sure to bring you AirPods because there will be background noise. Food was also good. I really liked the pizza and chicken sandwich. Bar area looked nice, it as a working lunch so I didn't experience the bar, but looks like a good place for beers and watching sports. I recommend stopping in for lunch, dinner, and or drinks if you are in the area.

    papa rich's country casserole with sausage is the best! A little pricey but large portion given. Their calzones are excellent as well.

    When was the last time you had homemade pasta at a restaurant? Honestly, I don't even want to eat…read moreItalian anywhere else after coming to Vai's. Unless it's in Italy. Walked in with starving teenage boys on a Sunday after noon. The place was packed. Ordered a Margarita pizza with 6 slices for an app. We have high expectations of this one and we were all so busy eating it and looking up. Wondering is this really this amazing. Hell yes, it was. The sauce, the crust. The amount of sauce. Etc. all hit it just right. Second app was a plate of fresh cut fries. Once again this place does not cut corners. Perfectly fried with a crunch and sea salt on top. That was a busy plate getting gobbled up before our entrees showed up. For my entree, I got the mushroom parpadelle with shrimp. I had no clue until I started to eat it that it was homemade pasta. In my head I kept thinking there is no way this is not made in house. I asked the waiter and yes indeed he said they are making pasta all day long. With the amount of people in this restaurant. I can only imagine how busy that kitchen is creating this soft and fresh beautiful pasta. If you have ever made pasta. You know how much time and work it is. Sorry, back to my dish: the shrimp we cooked to a perfection. Quality high, the mushrooms were fresh and I could not wait to find more. If you want Italian. Skip the chains. You will not get this quality and love like this place.

We started with the fried calamari app and it was really good. Fried perfectly, but it did need a hit of salt. Served with cocktail sauce (marinara would be nice too). Love that they also include the tentacles I along with rings. Entrees: wife ordered the Linguini Del Mare. Seafood was properly cooked and flavor was great. She really enjoyed it. I ordered the Pork Chop Milanese and is was really good. One thing that stands out here is that the portions are huge! Appetizers and Entrees and the house salad that they serve. We were only able to eat about half of our meals after the huge appetizer and salad and ended up taking the leftovers home with us. Service was great as well. We will certainly come back here again if we're in the area and in the mood for Italian food. We recommend La Dolce Vita Per Tutti.
