    The pizza was soaked in grease it went though the box. Could not even carry the pizza because the box was falling apart. A 60+ dollar pizza
    Edward E.

    Heard a lot of good things about this place. Paid almost 80 bucks (salad and large 3 topping pizza) and waited 45 minutes only to be let down. I could only munch off toppings because the pizza was so inedible that the grease leaked through the box n was all over my car seat. There was so much grease and moisture that the box was falling apart. I had to toss it because it was terrible. One good thing is that they load the pizza with toppings. Here are some pictures.

    The service was great and the hostess explained all about the preparation of the pizza! All made fresh and it took 30 minutes. Mean while I ordered garlic/cheese bread and small salad. Well they said it was small. But it was size for two people to eat! Very good and I had blue cheese dressing and it was super fantastic and the bread was super good! After I was already full, my pizza arrived and I ordered sausage and pepperoni and I was amazed how filling it was and the size was small, but it was big for me! I bite into it and I was WOW! Great Italian pizza Chicago style and the owner isn't stingy on the toppings. Puts lots on the pizza! I give this place 10 out 10! I will be back again!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a hidden gem and a holdover from another time![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] REAL food made by REAL people. [[HIGHLIGHT]]EVERYTHING I want a little Italian spot to be, don't miss it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Rosario's had always been a staple for my family's Friday dinners for decades. I haven't been in years but they have always been consistent. The salad with Bleu cheese dressing is always a go to. The pepperoni pizza always is fire. They never skimp on the cheese or the toppings. You cannot go wrong for a Friday family dinner.

    It's hard to tell by looking at it but this pizza is a monster. You pick up a box for a 12" pizza but the weight doesn't match what you see.

    It had been too long and I had been thinking about Rosario's pizza. Now you shouldn't even think about Rosario's unless you are committed to doing some serious damage at mealtime. Huge chunks of sausage and generous amounts of mushrooms. Now if you find canned mushrooms an abomination, you'd better skip the shrooms but I don't have any problem with it. Reminds me of the pizzas I had growing up. You may wonder why they don't offer an extra large option. Lift one of their large pizzas and the answer becomes obvious. This is a heavyweight class pizza. Crust could be better and I won't criticize you for leaving the outside ring of crust but what's inside? 1 hour to bake one of these bad boys. 2 slices for lunch and I'm maxed out. The kids will be home soon. They can take their best shot. Just don't ask why I didn't order an XL!

    Inside.

    Pizza was delicious. Some people might think it's pricey, but you get a lot more meat probably 4 times more meat than a regular pizza place.

I may want to try it again, but likely not in the near future.

    Finally tried the Burratino's trendy black onion pizza!…read more One issue we found is that we didn't really know where to park. Update: The black onion really didn't suit my tastes. But I did enjoy the italian sausage and basil. Still so glad I got to try it. I heard many people say that the black onion was sweet, but personally, It didn't taste sweet to me. The sauce was quite overbearing. The comments were right about one thing: it was very tangy. However, the good news is that my family loved it. If the family loves it, then it really has the potential. We loved the ambiance! The restaurant is very clean, seriously spotless. Based on our experiance, we also found the restaurant is empty. The plants outdoors really set the vibe. I love how it feels like you are in a garden. The inside feels like a typical pizza place. Very calming, and cool temperatures. Their pizza is fresh and everything is done well. The service is outstanding. For anyone who is new to the place, the waiters will bring you the pizza after ordering. They came as soon as possible and everything was delivered well. While I wasn't a fan of the black onion marinara, I do believe that we will come back in the future and try a few different pizzas. I am still willing to think that maybe I didn't order the right thing and that there is more flavors to try. Thank you Burratino's Brick Oven Pizza for the good experiance. I am willing to try the restaurant again.

They truly have been making quality pizza for years and they are not overpriced at all. They actually are decently priced considering how much quality they put into their pizza. The owner is also one of the people who will answer and take your order. They all are great people but it goes to show that even the owner steps in to help make your experience a good one and not afraid to get his hands in the game when necessary. You can dine in but space is limited, although they haven't updated the inside it's still decent enough to have a slice or two with a drink. For the most part everyone orders. You can have your pizza delivered or you can pick it up if you prefer. Regardless of how you order your pizza, I'd say give them a try ask about the current specials they offer or check them out online. They have great family meals that are huge and also decently priced!

Service was great even though the wait was long for food, service and seating. I'm telling you.... It was PACKED!!! The Italian sub was subpar. I expected more. But glad I got the lasagna lol. The fountain drinks were good and crisp. Lots of parking but because it gets packed it fills up quickly. Small spot.
