Pizza was good. Blooming onion was greasy. I am gluten free and thought I could cheat, but it didn't work.

Ordered grilled nuggets through the drive thru and got breaded ones. Gluten free and couldn't eat them, unfortunately didn't realize until we got home. I'm sure it's a great location, just disappointed with the mix up.

Order was wrong upcharge on everything. Even my eggs included in my skillet. Upcharge for one gluten free pancake. Upcharge for fruit instead of pancake. Will NEVER go again. 57 dollars for 2 people 2 eat egg breakfast and coffee. It deserves a 0!

First time ordering from Moretti’s and we had it delivered. We ordered ribs, pan pizza and the gluten free penne. The order arrived in an acceptable timeframe but the pizza appeared to have shifted/fallen, with a lot of the mushrooms off the pizza and sauce soaking the box. After speaking with Sam, he went way above and beyond expectation by not only refunding the cost of the pizza, but also sent out a replacement for us. The pizza is now my favorite over Giordanos which is what I have normally gotten up until now. Moretti’s pizza clearly uses fresher ingredients and the sauce was perfect. The penne and ribs arrived in perfect condition and were both excellent. The ribs were perfectly cooked with the meat easily coming off the bone. Despite the hiccup with the pizza, we will gladly order from Moretti’s again as their menu options look very appealing and we look forward to trying it all out in the future. Thanks again Sam for your help and generosity in making this first meal a great one!

We had Chris K. as our server and she was so sweet and personable! We came on a whim when visiting Elgin tonight and the place was packed- so be sure to make a reservation! We had a bit of a wait after being seated before getting drinks but apologies were made and it was explained to us that there was a mix up on who our server was. We didn’t have an issue from then on and service was great! With my Celiac’s disease I ordered spaghetti and meatballs with gluten free pasta but modifications had to be made to substitute the meat sauce with marinara and substitute the meatballs with sausage. Chris K. was knowledgeable about what I could order and was able to make a great recommendation for a sweet wine. Everything was delicious! The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting and made for a great place to chat. Bumping down 1 star because unfortunately they didn’t have any gluten free garlic bread to substitute with my meal but this place truly was worth the hype!

Best burgers in town. Nothing fancy atmosphere wise but service is solid and pleasant and they can deal with gluten and dairy allergies. Pickles are dope, side salads are fresh and crispy. Would love to see a different reposado like casa noble or casamigos added to the bar but that’s just being picky.

What happened with this place?! Ordered Gluten Free, (great in past), $27 tiny pizza at 5:22, received 6:50 still tipped nice. Burnt & cold, hardly any cheese, misshaped. Didn't want to complain knew they were bombed for New Year's Eve & I was starving. Went to bed early to be woke with abdominal pain having violent diarrhea, several times! Rough night. Still not feeling well this morning, more bathroom visits, trying to sip as much water as I could and called to let Danny's know at 11:29, girl was nice said manager was in basement one of them would call me back, took number, & name of credit card as son treated me. 12:34 I call back he says he'll decide how to take care of me & call me back, still nothing. Aggravated and feeling blown off and still not feeling well, water and alittle yogurt not cutting it, now I'm hungry so I call at 2:19 & I'm asked if I want to order and knowing who I was, different girl from morning I'd replied by now I am hungry can he just replace it?! She said he was still looking through the receipts, since last night?! I'd asked. I said I'd rather just see what he's decided. It's 3:57 now, My stomach hurts, I'm not happy at all, I am hungry and I don't feel well enough to make something, I feel shaky and weak and now ticked off. I decided to read the reviews. and there are countless ones saying that you are not going to get a call back from the manager. :( I used to love this place. As I opened with what happened?! Those pizzas never look like that before! I don't deserve to be treated this way, no one does! I didn't think I would have to worry if I let him replace it... I figured he would monitor that one! I was trying to be understanding, And also I knew they were getting hit hard from the holiday, I was trying to be nice about it too, and still tipped well on top of everything, and this is the thanks I got. People don't understand when you have a gluten allergy you can't just go anywhere, You have to cook everything you eat. The only break we get is to order a gluten free pizza... And for me that's only on occasion. I'm scheduled to see my Gastrointestinal doctor Happy new year to you too Danny's Pizza

Was there for Mother's day brunch. My wife loved it. She ate her fill of oysters and shrimp. Prime rib was great. I had a little of everything except for oysters, of course. Will try some evening. I have a gluten free diet and hear that they offer quite a variety of gluten free items.

Just tried this Pizza for the first time thanks to Work. We bought from the one near Bensenville, but I happen to live right near this one in South Elgin. I have a bad gluten allergy, and almost brought in my own lunch since the few previous times I have tried Gluten Free pizza, it was god-awful. This place, which I had never heard of, has just earned a new faithful customer! The gluten-free crust is great and some of the people I work with said they really liked it to, even though we had about 10 normal pizzas for them. Thank you for thinking of people like me White Cottage!

I’ve never eaten inside, but have picked up from here 4 times now. The Drunken Noodle dish is prepared deliciously. I made a request to have it made vegan and gluten free and when I picked it up there were added stickers indicating my request had been fulfilled. The owner is very welcoming and appreciative of the repeat business.

Cute little cafe with plenty of coffee shop beverages. The food was reasonably priced, service was quick, and variety was available. They had a few vegetarian options and gluten free bread. Overall the food was well prepared. Only down would be my sandwich was soaked in balsamic vinegar to the point of soggy bread and the coffee was a little burnt. The pumpkin spice latte was amazing though!

My favorite place to catch specials in the suburb. Great drink specials and food deals. Check the website for the current deals, trust me they are great. $1 burgers or chicken sandwhiches on some months. Always a great palace to watch whatever game. They have gluten free and vegetarian options available.

Best burger in all of Elgin! When the restaurant first opened they struggled getting my order correct (dairy and gluten free) and the manager was very concerned with getting it right and maintaining my happiness. I appreciate the communication and the effort. I haven't had any problem for over a year. Great fries!!

I read so many good reviews of this place so I decided to try it out. Was disappointed. Food was ok but I've had way better in the city. I wanted to have the Cuban sandwich but with the plantains because I have a gluten allergy and every other place I've been to has made the substition without issues. When I asked for this the guy straight up said can't do that. With an attitude. Then a few minutes later explained they were short staffed and he would ask the kitchen. I said never mind I'll just have the jibarito. I can understand being short staffed but I wasn't asking for anything super out there and his attitude when I asked about it just really threw me off. It's not my fault they're short staffed. The food was okay but I'm not sure what everyone is having about. The service just didn't seem that great.
