The Greater Rockford area has an embarrassing number of stellar Italian beef sandwiches. Two months…read moreago (Summer 2024) I proclaimed that Pomodoro was the best of the best. That proclamation is no longer accurate! Buona opens up here and changes the Italian beef landscape overnight! Intense Italian seasoning, paper thin slices stacked high, gravy (au jus) with even more seasoning floating in it, and a great roll all combine to make an excellent and unparalleled (as of 10-9-24) Italian beef sandwich experience. Bonus: excellent rigatoni served perfectly al dente. The sauce (gravy) was as good as anything I've ever eaten. Try it! Great service. Comfortable chairs. Has an ice cream place attached to it, Rainbow Cone.

This manager ACTUALLY SAID NO!!! as if I was trying to pull some sort of con! This is CUSTOMER SERVICE 101!!! My advice to anybody that visits this establishment is to pay cash! What is that old saying about people that had a great experience ?? they tell two or three friends! And if you've had a bad experience, you tell like 50 people! Unreal! It's actually a joke to me! I will run my mouth to everything I know! In fact, I already have and they were like oh my God that's totally pathetic that they wouldn't give you a beer! So I'm playing a machine drinking water! Real classy Trop Club! Now, I would like to add that the bartender gave the manager or owner my phone number and she was supposed to call me the next day. That never happened.! so I left them a message on their messenger FB and still nothing the day after that! I don't know if it's the manager or the owner that gives zero fuqs , but all I have to say is good luck in your future endeavors! When I ran retail establishments in the past I would do anything to make that customer happy in the realm of my authority! I'm more than sure one measly beer wouldn't have put them out of business!

I have to say, overall my…read moreexperiences at restaurants lately have been ho-hum, if not disappointing, so last night was a very pleasant surprise at how a restaurant experience should be. It wasn't packed with people but there were a fair amount of dinners. We got seated at a small booth and if you're picky about that kind of thing, not the best seats but good for conversations since there's a fair distance from the tables and so that was good. Also there was music playing at a nice volume. So I had a mixed drink that was lovely for starters. They brought water first, so you didn't have to ask. The menu, altho a little beat up on one page, was filled with the standard Italian Restaurant dishes. My friend got the chicken Parm and I got the Veal Marsala. I was hopeful they didn't overcook the veal and the Marsala sauce was good. They didn't and it was. Very think veal cooked so it stayed fork tender and the sauce was how it should be taste and texture wise. I order chicken Marsala a lot in restaurant and this had a nice very very light gravy consistency. I prefer it over runny thin. You can order a potato or pasta with dinner. My friend got pasta, I got baked potato. AND y you get special salad with dinner that comes with Italian dressing but I got blue cheese as an option. The one tiny thing there was it was very good dressing, even though I detected little blue cheese. But the salad as pictured was delicious. Anyway service was not perfect but very good. The server was adorable and kind but got our orders backwards twice. Once with salad, once with the main course. But not a biggy. Then later two young men were moving tables together but sliding them more than once making screeching sound that were hard on the ear. Again not a night but they certainly could have lifted them. Perhaps it was emptying out and they wanted us to leave? lol. The atmosphere there was nice, kinda eclectic with industrial type stuff mixed with chandeliers and wrought iron accents. Interesting They have another on State Street in Rockford and this is the newer of the two. I've been told the state street one is always busy so this one opened. I can see why. I definitely recommend as it was a very pleasant positive surprise to my dining experiences as of late.

The service was amazing, but we forgot the name of the server. She was helpful, gave recommendations and assisted in decisions between items. We ordered an appetizer of shrimp and it was AMAZING! Great portion size and great taste. We had the Mac and Cheese and the Philly Cheesesteak Wrap. Both items were delicious and more than enough food to fill us up and have leftovers. The best part of the restaurant is the draft wall. You can choose from multiple types of beer, mixed drinks, or straight liquor for mixing yourself. It added fun to the experience pouring your own beverages. The bar is very spacious and allows for multiple seating scenarios from high tops to regular chairs, to couches. You can watch teams play sports below or play pool and darts. I am very glad we gave them a second chance, it was worth the trip back. Thank you for a great evening.
