Experience Through Their Eyes

Great place to eat! Plenty of history, plenty of atmosphere and bottom line one of the best authentic pizza around! Deb took my order and made sure she took down the details, and made my visit extra personal! She chatted with my 12yr old and even explained the games they have at the restaurant. The 2 pizza's we ordered were equally tasty! We ordered a pepperoni and a combination pizza, both were loaded with plenty of ingredients! The combination had a layer of sausage that added that extra flavor that Italian Village pizza is known for! Overall- fantastic

Moved to Galesburg from the West Coast where there were many options for good authentic Italian food. The Italian Village is the best authentic Italian restaurant from the Quad Cities to Peoria!

I cannot tell you how great this place is. As a freshman at Monmouth I've never heard of this place but me and some friends came and oh wow. We sat down and we were immediately greeted my the owner who talked to us and was overall very friendly. But the food..... oh my the food. We got some garlic bread with cheese and it made our mouths drop it was so good, then the pizza was equally as good, and everything was made from scratch and you can tell. Just an incredible place, I will definitely be recommending it to my friends at school.
