We always order our Pizza from Alfano, coming here for years. Dine in or carry out. My wife wanted to try their cauliflower crust. It comes with cheese and sausage or any combo you want from the menu, it is about 10". I ordered a medium Alfano Special with have meat, and vetables. Both pizzas were good. The cauliflower pizza maybe good for gluten free but not sure.

Stopped in Rochelle for gas and something to eat. Found Aldoâs by chance. What a find. Great ambiance and friendly staff. Food was excellent. The owner Aldo greeted us at the door and was very inviting. Had the prime rib special. $18.95 with desert. It was outstanding, the best Prime Iâve had in a while . Good tap beer selection. Definitely a find on our trip back home to WI. Wish it was closer to where I live as I would like to return.
3. Rosati's Pizza Rochelle, Illinois

My wife and I have been watching this place be built up. It took a while for it to open.We went in during their opening week, and the place was slammed. No waiting, but no tables and a new staff that was stressed getting their routes down.We were seated promptly, and our waitress arrived to take our drink orders. They had Stella on tap, so I ordered a Stella.They were out of Stella. So I ordered something they did have - a Blue Moon. It was okay, but arrived with no head. Which made me think about whether their carbonator was working properly, but the beer had carbonation. New bartender?Anyway, we ordered up their 14 inch Classic Combo. It arrived hot and fresh, with the cheese still hot which was nice. It took a while, but like I said, they were slammed.They also have wings and other stuff. Who goes to a pizza place for wings? I guess it folds in with the sports bar theme - diversify for customers.We were approached about drink refills, but didn't need any. So the service was attentive, if somewhat overwealmed.We'll give them another try in a few weeks, after the "new restaurant in town" buzz fades away.For Sports, they have you covered. The northwest corner of the restaurant has a wrapround image of Wrigley Field, and they had a lot of big screen TVs - I think it was around 20. Note: On the west wall, most of the TVs were playing the same game. Maybe it was the only game on, but that seemed like a waste.The place is tight for space, so make sure you plan ahead. It's a fair Rosati's. We'll see how they grow and develop as their waitstaff gets stronger with experience.
