GREAT FOOD, GREAT COMPANY, AND SOME INCREDIBLE SANDWICHES!…read more Today's lunch adventure took me and fellow foodie Pete Smith to Calabria Imports in Chicago's Beverly neighborhood -- and what a great recommendation by Pete! This old-school Italian deli knows how to make a sandwich! We decided to sample their 3 most popular creations: The Freddy - Italian sausage, sweet peppers, mozzarella, and homemade red sauce. The Stenger - Homemade meatballs, beef or sausage, marinara, provolone, and garlic bread. The Heritage - Grilled steak, onions, and provolone on garlic bread. All 3 were excellent, but I have to give the top spot to The Heritage! The combination of tender steak, grilled onions, melted provolone, and garlic bread was outstanding! If you're ever in Beverly, Calabria Imports is definitely worth a visit!

I love that milanos offers fried cauliflower because not a lot of places do nowadays and it's my favorite of the friend veggies. I also love that we get RC every time we order.

I read all the wonderful reviews about the food at Milano's which made me want to try. I looked at…read moreall the pictures and decided to try the lasagna and a pizza. I ordered a medium meat combo which sounded good with sausage, peperoni and Canadian bacon and homemade lasagna. Cost with cash saves you a bit but I settled on credit card. I waited 30 min and walked in, I mention my name and my order and the person said there was no such order. I was shocked as I thought I ordered the food in a different place. I called the number again and on the phone they could not find the order. I went back there and asked once again. The mix up was that when I placed the order they did not hear I ordered a lasagna and only put in the pizza. I put the order in and waited another 30 min. All this and the food was mediocre. I like that they gave you two free cans of pop with every order. There is no tables and only 1 seat. Food offers delivery and take out only.

Even though the bustling Western Ave is right outside the doors, you couldn't tell once you're inside because it's an intimate vibe! I tried the orecchiette and it was full of flavor. Come see what they're all about!

Was excited to dine on second floor you get a nice breeze when the weather is nice. The bread offered is very tasty and they provide olive oil, Parmesan cheese as well. Went with an Arnold Palmer for a beverage. For my entree got the linguini carbonara. Comes in a rich, delicious cream sauce; with spinach, prosciutto and egg on top!! Requested some Parmesan+ crushed red pepper to accentuate the taste. Had plenty left over for my lunch next day. For dessert we split brownie sundae. It had me feeling like a kid again.

Everything is decorated beautifully - it feels more like you're downtown than if you were in Evergreen Park. The food is absolutely amazing - I love their shrimp tapas. From the empanada to the tacos, I haven't eaten anything yet that wasn't worth going back for. The service is outstanding, and Ramon may be nicest human being I've ever met in the industry. Perfect for a date night or a group outing, I couldn't recommend Mi Amor enough.

We actually got a gift card for mi amor courtesy of my mother & father in law who spoke very highly…read moreof this restaurant so we decided to have a good date night here. The ambience is great and so is the servers. The presentation was also pretty great. We started off with a nice drink. I got the strawberry kiss which and my husband had the espresso martini (both delicious!). For appetizers, we had calamari and ceviche. They were both good but I especially loved their calamari. For our main dish, I had birria tacos and my husband had the pasta and steak. I personally wasn't a huge fan of either one because I felt like they both lacked flavor. For me, the true star of the show was the desert trio! We had churro, tres leches, and banana pudding. It was amazing!! I feel like I would just go back for the dessert by itself lol. Overall, Mi Amor is worth trying out. The price point is a bit high but my husband and I thought it was a great "date night" restaurant for couples especially. Don't forget to try out dessert! (I can't stress that enough)

However, after you figure out you need to seat yourself (when the sign says the section is closed), the service goes to ok. The food is where they shine.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. We ordered a pizza, and the…read moretotal bill came out to $42. The waitress who served us was completely unfriendly and inattentive throughout our meal. To make matters worse, I made an honest mistake when paying with cash and accidentally handed over $70 instead of a $50 bill, leaving a $28 overpayment. As soon as I realized the error, I called the restaurant to get it sorted out. Instead of being helpful, the staff gave me a lazy brush-off, claiming they couldn't check the money because they don't count it until the end of the night. Accidents happen, but a management team that refuses to simply check a server's cash drop to correct an obvious mistake is completely unacceptable. Between the terrible service from the waitress and the unhelpful response from the staff over the phone, I will definitely not be returning. Save your money and go somewhere that actually values its customers.

Another Disorganized South Side Restaurant…read more I visited on a Saturday around 7:00 PM, and the level of disorganization was extremely disappointing. I was informed that the kitchen was already an hour behind on preparing food for customers who had ordered earlier. On top of that, I was told there would be an additional 30-minute wait just to be seated. What made the experience even worse was being told that I couldn't even place a to-go order because the restaurant couldn't accommodate the guests they already had. The explanation I received was that "the kitchen is behind and moving really slow." Unfortunately, this was a disappointing experience before I even had the opportunity to order. Better planning, communication, and customer service are clearly needed.

It's pizza without the crust, I'm with it! Anyways love the vibe here very 80-90s dive bar Pizza Hut vibes! They don't make spots like this anymore so kudos to that!!

Vito & Nick's Pizzeria offers maybe the BEST example of Chicago's "Tavern Style" Pizza in the…read morecountry. The city of Chicago itself has FOUR main catagories of pizza styles that were invented Here:... 1): Deep-Dish - This has a thick crust & lots of toppings. 2). Stuffed - This is 'double-decker pizza where the toppings are laid atop the bottom dough along with pounds of grated cheese, and then another sheet of dough is placed on top to which is added many ladles of tangy pizza sauce. Suffed Pizza usually take about 45 minutes to bake. 3). Tavern Style - This is a Thin-Crust Pizza that became popular in Chicago's Southside neighborhoods long before Deep-Dish or Suffed Pizza ever saw a mouth. It was created for the men who work in the 'Stock Yards' butchering cows. After a long day these workers would often go to their local tavern to have a beer and maybe a snack (if the tavern actually had any snacks. Then, eventually ONE Tavern caught on, that if they offered a Snack, the men drinking would always order another beer. So they began making inexpensive, thin-crust pizza (not to sell but to give-away as a promotion. And to make it easier to both snack and drink at same time, the tavern cut the pizza in straight lines, east to west, and north to south. Then they just passed the pizza down the bar and everbody took a square, (you can tell a lot about a person from watching which slices they choose: the gooey soft inner squares full of melted cheese and sauce-oil; - the rectangular edge pieces with a center that's gooey and a crunchy crust-edge; - and finally, the "Runt" of the "Zaa", the little, dry, triangular pieces (I cannot call in "a slice", because... a slice of WHAT?!?) . The first tavern to do this was Vito & Nick's. And it still does it ( only Now Vito & Nick's charges for its Pizza

When we went in there isn't anywhere to really sit and when you walk in you wouldn't think greatness come from there but boy was I wrong.We ordered and we were told it would be about 20-30mins. So while we waited to went to a few other stores. The gentleman at the counter was very nice and friendly I was confused on what flavor I should get and I asked could I do 3 flavors and he told me what ever I want. I ordered the 1lb crab and 1/2 lb shrimp with Lemon Pepper, Old Bay and Cajun. When we received the food we checked it and it smelled so good and I didn't know it came with Corn, Potatoes and Broccoli. Once I made it home my food was warm at no fault to them just I had a few errands to run before making it home. Even being warm it was still amazing. My favorite part was the Broccoli. I could have a whole pan of that alone. But EVERYTHING was amazing. Price Point was average for Seafood and you already I want to try something new or different the next time I go because I will be back.
