We had to wait 30 minutes for a table for two. We sat inside at a small table for two. We had an excellent server, Maureen and she was attentive. Food was excellent and my hub and I both had filets that were cooked to perfection. Topped it off with crème brûlée for dessert that was delicious. Would like to go back and try the outdoor seating!

Salad was enough for 4 - 6 people. Me and my partner had plenty of leftovers. So many ingredients almost too many to list. The ingredients that stood out were the Asparagus, mushrooms, and broccolini. Ingredients were hot and delicious. We split the Carmelized Onion Tortellini. It was magical. Great buttery taste and the Carmelized Onions oozed out of the tortellini when I cut into it with the fork. We were stuffed when we left and had enough leftovers to eat for dinner the next day. Cannot wait to go back....

What a gem this place is! Albano's doesn't have a sign. The…read moreexisting sign says panini panini. We've tried to get a reservation a couple times, but didn't do it in advance. We came at lunch time & got right in. Ordered the focaccia bread. It came with olive oil & marina sauce. So amazing. Also shared the kale Ceasar salad. It was huge! Enough for 4-6. It had a lot of ingredients. Roasted asparagus, broccolini, shaved Brussels sprouts, mushrooms. It was delicious, but I would have preferred a lighter summer salad. It was hearty & warm. I'd get it again in the fall. We shared the caramelized onion tortellini. It was huge too. Amazing prices for the amount of food. It was so delicious. The onions were sweet & the pasta was perfect & fresh. Lots of leftovers to take home. Cute ambiance, friendly service. Loved that we could watch the chefs prepare the food too. Can't wait to come back for more pasta & try dessert.

What an absolute unexpected delight! My boyfriend and I found ourselves in the area (between South…read moreBend and Chicago) and didn't have high expectations for finding something for dinner that wasn't fast food. Boy were we WRONG! And we're so glad we were!!! Pizza Terra is delicious! We split a Margherita pizza and the orecchiette pasta. Both were truly fantastic! And the service couldn't have been better! Everyone was so friendly, humble, and helpful. We really enjoyed ourselves! Oh and we added on some crusty bread and a soda - and the bill was only fifty bucks! Not too shabby :) The music was enjoyable too. John Mayer, Mumford and sons, just good vibes. We may just find ourselves making an annual trip to Indiana for this one. Highly recommend checking it out!

We didn't dine in but I'm sure the service is just as good as take out. Prices were reasonable and the quality was great!

This place should not be called pestos, it should be called "Garlics" or "Wow That's Garlic!" (…read morejust know, I love garlic as if it is the answer to a prayer) Anyway, this is not a chain, it is a mom and pop Italian/American style place. Think of it as a sup'ed up Olive Garden. This IS midwestern comfort food style Italian. Which means lotsa cheese. And while I don't think they "house make" the pasta-dough or noodles (not Albano's or such) but they have some great sauces and if you like garlic well brother, have they got some garlic for you:) The garlic and macadamia nut sauce is unique and wow does it pack a FLAVOR. And last but not least THEIR GARLIC CESAR DRESSING IS ADDICTIVE. I am not kidding, I have been going in and buying a pint or a quart container once a week or two. I put that stuff on salad sure, but dip a slice of pizza on it WOW or on their Italian beef. They have standard frozen fried calamari but they doctor it with their own hand dipped doe and it is at least on par with most Midwest mom and pops. The only fresh squid is main and Lincoln.

I'm picky about my pizza but this is in my top 5 in the area of Portage, Chesterton, Valparaiso hands down. It's a clean little place but they could use some more modern big screen TVs for us that like to go and have a pizza and beer on game day! TVs are cheap people get them! Try the cheese sticks as well those were great! Ive not tried any of the pasta dishes, but I heard they were good and seen many people around me eating them. Worth a go to and it is one of mine.

Overall great pizza restaurant!…read more FOOD- Great! I got the Val's special pizza and it was delicious. Crust was crispy and the sauce and ingredients were plentiful. Nice and hot. My dad got the Stromboli and said it could use more sauce and the meatballs were small. Sarah got the BOMB and it was delicious! Nice cooked crust and full of Italian beef. But if you're really hungry I would suggest getting 2 of them to be full. DRINKS- Good. Cold time on tap was great! SERVICE- Could use a pickup. Hit or miss. Overall good. AMBIANCE- Could potentially use a remodel or updating. Every time I walk through the front door I smell cleaning chemical shit? Not sure what it is.
