The PlaceAngelo's is located in Spring Valley, Illinois right off St. Rt. 6 by St. Margaret's Hospital. This is a nice family operated and family centered business. This restaurant is larger than it appears from the street with ample lot parking. There are both tables and booths available with a large dining room for private parties and main dining room overflow. This restaurant is modern, clean, and well maintained. The Food/MenuVery full menu to chose entrees and appetizers. We have heard great things about their pizza and sandwiches but were focused on fish this evening. We ordered broiled Cod, with a healthy salad, baked sweet potato, and mixed vegetables. For our other entrees we ordered garlic and herb crusted Tilapia, with baked potato, a healthy salad, and Our meals came with very generous portion sizes and were excellent. The Service/Value/ExperienceOur server was friendly and efficient!! We found the prices to be very fair for the value presented. We had a great experience and look forward to trying several different entrees and of course the pizza. Highly recommend.

we were staying at the koa nearby and had pizza delivered. the pizza was "okay" - they call it thin crust but it was more carboard style to me - we ordered 4 different vegetable toppings but you couldn't really taste them. I guess I'm just a pizza snob...

Mr. J's has an excellent selection, but their Gyros are the best in the area. Prices are very reasonable. Also like their cheese fries.

Verucchi's Ristorante

Reviewed By DickandRobin

In business for over 100 years, the food is authentic and delicious. Best Italian food in area. I had fried chicken—crisp and plentiful. Their Italian sausage is very good, although they switched suppliers and it’s not the same. Plenty of reasonably priced wines. Attentive service and competitive prices (increased soon after Garzaneli’s closed in Oglesby).

This place occupies the building where Papa John's used to be though it is far better. It usually only takes about 25-30 minutes and it's just down the street. The Meat Marchelloni and the Primo pizza are the best though you can't go wrong here. The garlic nuggets are worth a try though they are best with cheese on them!!

I've lived here all of my life and just discovered them last year! They are wonderful. Best homemade potato salad EVER!. They have lots of great food, my daughter loves the mozzarella/tomato salad also. Soups are great! And of course excellent sandwiches. Nice people, great service, you will like it! They were recommended to me by several people. Happy I found them!

This little corner restaurant has wonderful pizza. The crust is crispy and light and the toppings are outstanding. Lots of cheese and toppings! This is how pizza is supposed to be! I would definitely recommend it for any occasion. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful and our glasses were never empty. What a great experience.
