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.

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.

This was the second time we visited. Had a great experience. The food, service and value were…read moreexcellent. Our server was Halley. She was sweet, professional and attentive. The food was delicious. We ordered the salmon entree and the chicken parm. The Salmon was just okay but the chicken parm was one of the best I've had. The sauce made the meal. Each meal came with soup or salad, potatoes or pasta, dessert and coffee. The salad was yummy, particularly the house dressing. The bread was fresh and soft. We both made a mistake and asked for a baked potato instead of pasta. The potato was fine but both our meals paired better with pasta. The ice cream with coffee was a nice touch. The coffee was really good, like wedding coffee. lol. Each meal was approximately $25 ounces which was well worth it considering what came with it.

Now I have to say our waiter was a hunk. My 82 year old friend was playfully hitting on him and he was very sweet on how he handled the situation. I believe his name was Sebastian. OK back to the food. The salad was the best I think I've ever had for a house salad. It was a vinaigrette dressing, but what made it so good was slices of Italian sausage and hard-boiled egg. I would've been happy with that, but no, I had to have more! I ordered the veal piccata with lemon sauce, and it was delicious. One of the ladies ordered a salad which looked like an Italian forzale , which is a ring of Italian hard bread with vinegar and oil on it and chopped tomatoes. It was very good and I've never seen it in a restaurant before. Everyone really enjoyed their dinners. It was one of the girls birthdays, and they stuck in the ice cream a large sparkler. Nice touch. Can't wait to go back again and try their pizza.

Ezequiel was helpful, easy to work with, and organized. We were able to drop off menus and place cards the day prior which were set up with the table so that all of our group could come in together and see them! This small accommodating detail made the day even more seamless and intentional for our guests. We hadn't been to Vinny's prior to the wedding weekend, so we were a bit anxious about the unknown food and service. In the end, both were great! We had the fried calamari, bruschetta, fried ravioli, and seafood stuffed mushrooms for appetizers. We had the lasagna, chicken parm, and pepper steak for our main course, and an assortment for treats for dessert. The portions were hearty, and everyone commented on how amazed they were at all the food that just came coming out! Our favorite was the chicken parm and tiramisu, but all of the food was good - my Italian mother in law approved! The next time we're in Galena, we will definitely be coming by for some chicken parm and tiramisu!

I'm a Chicago thin crust guy. That's my favorite. Love it more than Chicago deep dish. Which is still delicious. So I was skeptical going in I mean how good can pizza in Iowa be??? All I can say is that every single great review of this place doesn't come close to explaining how good this pizza is. I don't think there are words that can describe how great this pizza is. It's an experience you have to try for yourself. I took one bite and now I'm completely addicted. I will be making the two and half hour drive out here pretty regularly to get my hands on this pizza.. straight up ridiculously delicious pizza

Service was the same, had to ask for napkins and a steak knife as they were not brought to us. We our server was very sweet. The bruschetta and oysters Rockefeller were the stand outs-- so good! Both our mains were a bit disappointing. The cook on my husband's steak was incorrect and it had zero char-- pretty much totally gray. My risotto was undercooked with a bit too al dente rice and watery sauce. It also was underseasoned. However the seafood was great so I ate that without hesitation. I keep saying I like but don't love Francesco's, and for dinner for $275 for two people in Rockford, I just expect better quality if we're going to be paying downtown Chicago prices. I would go back but it's not going to be a meal I seek out.
