"My son and I had a good meal! I ordered the individual cheese pizza and my son got the kids spaghetti (no meat). My son enjoyed his meal and it was a pleasant place to sit and get some sunlight indoor."

"What a cute, charming little Italian diner! This place was an incredibly fun place to eat, and the food wasn’t half-bad either. The best part of the experience was the retro interior, complete with black and white tiles, neon lights and even an arcade room! The staff was super friendly and made us feel at home the second we entered the door. We ordered the Baked Mostaccioli— a Midwest staple, along with a Cheese Pizza. Both were pretty tasty, especially the pizza. I just wish it had a bit more sauce on it. Overall, this was a pleasant place to have some non-traditional Italian-American fare."

"Lovely place to eat and had a nice cold meat sub. Was so good I barely got a picture of it before it was gone. Love the old 50s atmosphere and the people were just amazing to us out of towers."

"I love a place with great pizza and some sandwiches was a bonus! The sausage pizza was loaded with flavor and I really appreciate the additions made to the meatball sub. Great value as well so might as well give it a shot!"

"Garibaldi’s Italian Eatery is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels just like a classic Italian restaurant. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care — you can really taste the quality in every bite. The pasta is perfectly cooked, the sauces are rich and authentic, and the portions are generous. Whether you’re getting pizza, chicken parmesan, or one of their amazing Italian dishes, everything comes out hot and delicious. It’s comfort food done right! The staff is friendly, fast, and always makes you feel taken care of, even when they’re busy. Garibaldi’s is my go-to spot when I’m craving great Italian food that never disappoints. Highly recommend — 5 stars all the way!"

"Excellent service provided by extremely pleasant staff. Terrific pizza as usual. I tried their Italian beef and sausage combo sandwich. I like it a little bit more than the regular Italian beef sandwich. But I primarily go back to Garibaldi's for the amazing pizza . My brother really likes their pasta sauce, too. He gets pasta often from there. I find the Hoffman Estates location to be my favorite Garibaldi's."

"There aren't many places left selling pizza by the slice and there are even fewer in the suburbs but Garibaldi's in Hoffman Estates has cheese, sausage, and pepperoni! The slices are large and they were delicious. For about $12 we got a slice of sausage and a slice of pepperoni for lunch and we were full until dinner time. The crust was perfectly done, crispy without being burnt. A good amount of cheese and not over-saucy either. The inside of the restaurant looks like an old school diner. The next time we're going out for pizza we're going to come here for a full sit-down dinner. There were tons of parking and the couple of employees we interacted with were very polite."

"Stopped in to grab a bite to eat, were from out of town so maps suggested this place. Ordered way more then we could eat cause we wanted to try a few different items. The cheesy garlic bread was delicious you could taste the garlic butter under the cheese with every bite. The BBQ Chicken pizza was great. Crust was just right amount not crispy thin but not deep dish, it was just right and not soggy from all the sauce and toppings. Grilled chicken sandwich was also great. Chicken breast was grilled perfectly, not a thick chunk of meat that makes you question if its cooked all the way through or not, and the honey mustard was a great pairing to it. Atmosphere was delightful we love the classic time feeling here."
