They are closing but the entire place was packed,. not enough help, ran out of forks, glasses, etc. Dinner meals were so watered down. Pizza was bad
This explains the closing. I have to say waitresses were trying but you could tell they were highly annoyed visually and verbally with all the work.

Glad it is closing. Only went ther for the wife and her memories from when she was a kid. Front desk folks were good but waitress was the worst. We sat down and waited 40 minutes before she actually came to the table. Then she had an attitude like it was our fault she was busy. She cam back and slammed the food down around the wrong people. Worst experience at this place in 40 years!!!

A very dear friend who was undergoing chemo treatment was taken out to dinner at Traverso in Orland Park with his wife was encountered by several regular patrons who were drunk and unruly and started arguing and threatening bodily harm to my dear friend who was just there to enjoy dinner. There was no apparent reason for their behavior. They were drunk and obnoxious. They blatantly were argumentative and threatened to physically attack him as they were just sitting at a table eating minding their own business. My friend was too weak to defend himself. His wife shouted to please leave him alone

I'm surprised this place is still open. I dont think they have ever reinvested in this establishment. Its dated and dark. Food is mediocre at best. I give this location 1 more year of life ( only because they probably got Covid funding from the government and spent it on themselves instead of this eyesore )

Everything was good except when my Friend got her glass of water there was a lip stick stain on her glass. So when I went to show and explain this to the Hostess she had an Attitude about it. With Covid still going on Every Restaurant should pay more attention to the thing they serve their customers with if they want returning ones.

They're still working with limited Covid menu, but there's a little something for everyone. Went on Tuesday so it was packed at 5:30 due to it's discounted pizza night special. I would either go early or around 7:00 ish for best service.

Did not dine here, I left before being seated. Waited in line for nearly 10 minutes and not once did a host or hostess come to the lobby area to seat or at least advise on seating. That was far too long to wait for absolutely nothing. Finally got disgusted and left.

It’s always a pleasure to dine at Traverso’s. Great pizza and delicious Italian cuisine, reminiscent of Old Roseland’s Ken & Dicks pizza. It
It’s equally a privilege to be graced by the dynamic presence of… John Traverso, owner and gifted singer, whom I fondly recall as my high school typing instructor. No one missed his class! And you shouldn’t miss out on a fine evening of dining at Traverso’s.
