Mattone Restaurant and Bar

If you’re looking for that classic tasteless, cardboard crust pizza that the Chicagoland suburbs is known for, look no further. This place was terrible. The pizza looked nothing like the pictures online. The pan pizza was identical to the “gas-fired oven”—lol—pizza in substance, just different proportions. Again, if you like this style of pizza, I’m sure you’d love this place. I prefer pizza to be discernible from the cardboard box it came in. Oh, and the famous donuts were similarly tasteless without the chocolate sauce it comes with.

Service was good. Food OK. Had the crispy chicken. Wife had spaghetti

Walked in on a Friday evening with no reservation. Host found us a seat out on the patio. Were greeted and set up promptly. Waitress took drink oder. We weren't real hungry, so we ordered chicken pesto sandwich and a chopped salad. Sandwich was excellent. Great flavors and ample portions. Chopped salad was very good also. Lots of everything in there. House dressing was a sweet Italian which was very good. Only thing not perfect, which restaurant has no control over, is the noise and exhaust from 31st Street. There is a light close by so traffic can build up. Will be back when in area.
