@foodsprung's Review of Calogero’s - Naperville, Illinois

Yo, I ain't gonna lie. I cringe when I hear the term hidden gem. But this, y'all? A motherfucking hidden gem. And the thing about really good, authentic Italian food, it's about simple, high-quality ingredients. Like thinly sliced, imported mortadella. 48-hour fermentation process for the handmade dough. Classic Italian meats like prosciutto, mortadella, soprassata. Classic flavor combinations like the Neapolitan pizza with prosciutto and... fig confit or if you're trying to holler at something heartier there's sicilian pizza which is a 16 inch pan pizza now this is the kind of pizza you take home to feed the whole damn family hot honey drizzle crispy cup pepperoni fresh basil this was solid but the neapolitan might be my favorite but wait there's more now we got the arancini on deck deep fried rice balls the rice was perfect smashed the arancini with ragu and cheese and then tried the straight up just cheese one these were really fucking delicious but y'all the bomboloni here that shit went crazy basically filled italian donuts these also might have been the best i've ever had now y'all i've always said i'll travel for food and i'd gladly drive my happy ass back to naperville for this food hidden inside of a plaza in the burbs y'all i'm a hard sell on italian food and this shit is proper
