He said it's under the cheese. I was expecting a whole chicken breast I said. He literally laughed and said "oh we don't have that". There was pre-seasoned pre-portioned food service chicken that had been warmed up. They must just assemble and not actually cook. Very disappointing experience. Also don't order the wine. It's the cheapest crap ever. Never again.

Checked out this downtown Oregon brewery. It probably is one of the most interesting things about…read morethis pretty interesting town. Ogle County Brewery is one of the few places around here to get beers that's not "something Light" or comes in a can filled who knows when. Also a place to get some small bites that's not typical bar food. They have kind of a small selection but there's variety. Bigger than it looks once one gets inside. It's a great use of an old building, and they share it with one of those hardcore gyms with the CrossFit and stuff. The bar is where we got seats, and we got to watch some games on the big TV. Good prices on the craft beers. It's about $6 a pint. Best of these we had was the Oktoberfest. This was malty and sweet, and had a creamy texture. Also there's food. It's about $12 for an appetizer, which is most of what's on the food menu. Had to try the Guacamole Bites. These are avocado, cilantro, lime, onions, and tomatoes in tortilla chips breading, good stuff. Even though the beer selection is kind of limited, there's several styles to choose from. It's got a kitchen along with a menu of appetizers, sandwiches, and more. They're open every weekday along with more hours on weekends.

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.

Most importantly, the price was beyond reasonable! I would highly recommend The Polo Room for a good meal or for any event you are planning.

It gets crowded because people around here know good beer it seems. Along with the beers is also a food menu. The prices are higher than the grubby bars in town, but for sure it matches the higher quality. Better get prepared for how hard it is to park here. It's got a parking lot but it's full often. This was crazy the last time we came here on a weekend. People around here know it's better beer than the crap they otherwise have. You may have to park on a street. Beers are pricier than average but they make smaller batches. It's about $8 a pint. Best of the ones we had was the Highland Hairy. This is a Belgian IPA. A pretty good amount of food. There's a ton of pizzas. Most food choices are meaty. There's also wings. A lot of big and messy items. It's about $7 for the Garden Salad. A pretty standard one with croutons. There's also salads covered in bacon, buffalo chicken, and other heavy stuff. Got to be one of the places to go if you're around here. It's really busy at times, and just park wherever if you can't get a spot. They're located on the east side of town, and closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

First off, I did not expect much coming from Rochelle. While reviewing the different restaurants…read morethis town had to offer the majority looked dismal at best. I literally tossed a coin on coming here. When calling the restaurant the young gal who answered the phone - you could tell she really loved her job. She enjoyed explaining what dishes were the best. I ordered a medium pizza with sausage, onion and mushrooms, as well as the beer nuggets (because so many people raved about them). I've worked in a dozen or so pizza joints and have eaten a lot of pizzas in my time. But Alfano's pizza offered something uniquely different that after the first bite I realized this was a great choice of a restaurant. The sauce. The sauce. The sauce. I had never tasted anything in the world of pizza that left me so speechless. It was light and had a sweetness to it. The crust was rich in texture, buttery taste to it and simply great. The ingredients were fresh. You get alot of pizza for your dough, no pun intended! The garlic nuggets were a great addition and a must have when I return. Overall there are alot of reasons to drive out of your way to check this place out.
