This family-friendly Italian restaurant has kept Chicagoans happy since 1950.
July 06, 2008

In Short
Wood booths, checkered tablecloths and an easygoing, laid-back atmosphere make this place popular for a young family's dinner out or a T-ball team's victory party. Service tends to be quick and a stack of pop culture trivia cards on each table makes the time pass. The large menu features thin-crust and Sicilian-style pizzas that can be done up with the bacon or hamburger standards, or broccoli and tofu. Other entrees include burgers, fried catfish and create-your-own pasta dishes.

Leona's Restaurant - Cal City
July 04, 2006
(1.0 / 5 stars)

When I saw the signs announcing the opening of Leona's in Calumet City, I was very excited. I had always frequented the one located in Hyde Park. This is a pale comparison. The wait staff does not come in a timely manner. It took 15 minutes of waiting, before anyone gave us a menu. When the food arrived, it was not good. The hamburger was dry and tasted too charbroiled. I asked for something else, and that avocado burger was just as bad. My friend enjoyed the garbage salad, but I was very disappointed. This could have been due to not having knowledgeable staff. But the experience was lasting.

PROS:
CONS: Food was horribly dry and unflavorful

What to Drink:

The more health-conscious can opt for apple, orange or cranberry Nantucket Nectars juices.

The Extras:

Those who have an allergy or distaste for tomato sauce may have their pizzas made with an Alfredo or pesto base.

Private Rooms:

These restaurants are popular spots for kids' birthday parties and some locations have private party rooms.
