I had my wedding reception here. What a great decision. So many guests mentioned how delicious the food was. We had a variety of appetizers and no one went hungry. John, the owner was very knowledgeable about food and drink estimates, definitely not his first rodeo! The staff was wonderful and the atmosphere was perfect. Everything went very smoothly. If you are looking for someplace special and local, look no further!
We had my mom's Celebration of Life there, and it was very nice. Good food, service, and nice venue.

We have received the best most professional and courteous service from Jodanni's. Their good is great (I am a hard critic also) and also served up hot and fresh. We frequent Jodanni's at least once a week or two to assist us with supper. There pizza is wonderful and chicken is great. Thank you for the great service and food! Also, there packaging of food for take-out should be the set standard for all restaurants!
Went in late on a Friday night and it was slow, only two other couples were there. We ordered the deep dish pizza and the BBQ Chicken Chop salad. The pizza is arguably better than Blackthorn in St. Louis, (they use the same "double crust") but they faltered by using canned mushrooms. Everything else was top notch, cheese, crust and sauce. The salad was ok but it seemed like the greens we a bit old. Service was great but we would have liked the (excellent) rolls brought out before our meal since we didn't order an appetizer. We would definitely return the next time we're in the area.
Like everywhere else in the Great State of Illinois, they are only offering Carryout right now, but, the food is every bit as good as it is when dining in. I heartily recommend giving them the opportunity to let them show you the way Carryout can be done right.
Based on previous visits, it would have been a 5, but our last visit was a 3 at best.
We ordered bagna cauda, which was good, but the menu stated that it came with vegetables as well as bread. It was served only with bread without any prior warning, and we had to ask to get an explanation that they had changed the way they serve it without changing the menu.
For our entrees, I ordered seafood pasta, which was pictured in the menu with whole clams, and described as having shrimp, crab, and whole clams. It was served without clams of any kind, again without explanation. The crab was also clearly immitation.
My wife ordered chicken spedini, which is usually a signature dish, but it failed to live up to expectations, with a bland sauce and burnt chicken.
The service was good and the setting is welcoming, which saved the evening. Again, previous experiences have all been great, so I'm hoping this visit was an aberration, not the new normal.
I had a wonderful meal here. You almost don't realize how beautiful it is from the outside! Beautiful outdoor eating area and wonderdul pastas and desserts! Wonderful dinner with my mother and daughter!
