If youâve been to one..... this one can get crowded and parking lot full. Ask for salad dressing on the side or you may end up with a huge puddle of dressing at the bottom.

At this point I have no idea why weâve not been here until now. This place out does any other Italian restaurant around. I lived in Sicily for 18 months when in the USMC many years ago. The tortellini was spot on. I asked them to add some prosciutto ham to it and it was just like I used to have. My wife kept it simple with shells with a giant meatball and it too was outstanding. My son had chicken parmigiana which was also incredible. They had catered an event we attended a few weeks back. And a close friend had been telling us about it for years. Finally pulled the trigger and Iâd be surprised if we ever go to Maggianos again. Itâs a little cheaper and the food is better. Major props to Ivanelli our server took very good care of us. It really does not get better than this.

No complaints about the ambiance or comfort although the noise level was a little high. Our server was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I met a friend for lunch and we were there a long time. We weren't rushed to order or to leave after eating. And, the place was packed. Our sandwiches were very good. I loved the oil and parm that came with our bread. The olives and peppers were a nice twist on a common offering. The wine was a generous pour. I wish restaurants offered a nice glass that was more reasonably priced - a decent house wine is always appreciated!

We were staying in Indy and took the train to Chicago for the day. Decided to eat here since our son and friend s said it was great. The pizza was out of this world best deep dish chicopozza I have ever had. The service was terrible we waited 20 minutes after we were seated for a waitress and she was not around much. The deep dish takes 45 minutes to make so keep that in mind. The lunch specials are faster. We ordered the lunch specials and one meat deep dish. One off our daughters friend asked for the lunch special but somehow she got a small pizza . We told the server why would you think a little girl would get that when all the other kids got the lunch special. So we spent 25 dollars for her to eat 3 pieces of pizza. Common sense was not our waitress strong point. Food was great hopefully you get a better waitress. We will go back.

Great local place. Excellent authentic Italian. The Burritta is beyond reproach - classic and super fresh! All the entrees are great and beautifully plated. And as silly as it sounds, for an upscale restaurant, the pizza is just outstanding (gluten free available too!)

Celebrated daughters birthday with her brother and all spouses. The appetizers were good especially the calamari. For entrees we had spaghetti and meatballs which was tasteless and shrimp and pasta with few shrimp. Best was the pizza which was tasty. Decor is eclectic and concentrated on Roman Catholic Church art and sculpture complete with a table surrounding a bust of the pope. Led to our table through the clean appearing kitchen.Much better Italian restaurants in the area for the price without the oversized portions. I would not return to this establishment.Marjude, we're sorry to hear about your dining experience on your recent visit.

We did not want to leave our room, so you call Angeloâs! Pizza was wonderful, thin crust, full of flavor. Mushroomâs as an appetizer was wonderful. We were told an hour for delivery and the gentleman was there in about 40 minutes. Great food, we will eat there again!

Old school, basic no thrills but warm Main Street setting. This is a great Giordanoâs, small but great setting and food. Overall, a top location for Giordanoâs sites.
