In Machesney Park, family-run Italian places are busiest on weekend evenings and around holidays, when reservations or call-ahead seating are worth it. BYOB is common at smaller restaurants in some states, with a modest corkage fee or none at all; the listing or a quick call will tell you. Wing-and-pizza shops across Illinois do most of their business by delivery and price wings by the piece or in fixed counts, with sauce heat adjustable on request. Catering trays, party pizzas and sheet pies need a day's notice at most places, and more around big game days.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open 11 am–10 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (815) 316-3999.

We came out on a Thursday night. The place was packed. We got one of the last tables available for the dinner rush. People had to start waiting for tables after us. The kitchen was cranking out to go orders like crazy. The food was great. It had flavor without being over seasoned. The burger was cooked perfectly. Their coleslaw wasn't that sour crap a lot of places try to serve. We have also had their pizza delivered. Everything we have had has been great. The staff is friendly and kind. This place is great and I hope they are here to stay!!

I came here tonight to go to their bingo event. There was no one to seat me so I just went where there was a spot available. I thought this would be a good way to meet more people. But this layout is like restaurant and each table was a separate family or friends group and I was alone at a table. The guy started late and ended over. It was song Bingo the DJ would play a song and if you knew what it was you could mark it off. First to say bingo wins. There were 4 winners, the prize was for a Stanley cups. I never got to see how they did that but I imagine the first to win got to pick which one out of the four they would get to take home. The doors to go inside aren't handicapped accessible and I needed someone to help me get in and out. The curb is really close to the door and I just had enough room to round the corner. The slope getting in I needed help getting up it. I would have enjoyed it more if we had long tables that everyone sits at so I could have more of a chance to socialize. I didn't try the food. But with it being Italian I would like to try it sometime. The place is pretty large. They have several tvs. Many were playing baseball games and there was an advertisement b

New to the area and my wife’s birthday I chose to come here and it was the best decision!!! Food was amazing, big portions and the drinks were ice cold and mixed really well! Bigger shout out to Shawn! He made the experience perfect! His knowledge of the menu and his preferred choices is what we went with and I’m glad we did! The rodeo burger was amazing and the boom boom shrimp wrap was a 10 out of 10! Thank you Shawn for making our experience A1. We will be coming back and hoping to see you there!

We ordered a small sausage and mushroom thin-crust pizza, expecting some crispness. Unfortunately, the crust was the biggest letdown — very soggy, with no crunch at all. Their “thin crust” was closer to a medium or even thick crust. On the plus side, the toppings were plentiful and had good flavor. We also tried their Mom’s fried chicken, which came out very dry, overcooked, and lacking in flavor. We were hoping for a homemade-style chicken, but it clearly missed the mark. Our side was spaghetti, which was supposed to include meatballs, but none were served. The pasta itself was cooked well, and the sauce had good flavor — easily the highlight of the meal. In short, we weren’t extremely disappointed, but we did leave somewhat underwhelmed. There were some bright spots, but overall, the food didn’t live up to expectations.

Just the best pizza around!! We were so blown away, this will be our go-to place for pizza now!! We got the Deluxe 24" Hand Tossed pizza and it about the best I've ever had! Update April 25, 2026: More great things we tried!! My wife and I are doing low carb/keto, and were very happy with what we ordered! My wife had the Mama Cimino's Salad and it was really good with plenty of protein! I got the 1 lb. Burger with bacon and no bun with cole slaw, and it was amazing!! I asked the server to request adding sweet potato fries to the menu since they are keto friendly and delicious as well!! I also suggested offering baked fish for the Friday fish fry, but I found out that it IS available as a dinner off the regular menu!! This is one of our favorite places around and really appreciate the choices they offer and the high quality of the food!!
