Our family loves this place! If you have an egg allergy this place has pasta that is egg friendly & the bread is also egg friendly! My husband gets the Italiano appetizer, chicken Alfredo & extra bread for his meal. I get the spinach manicotti! It's delicious! Our service is always amazing! Will be very sad if this place ever closes.

I was not impressed with this place. This is that college town-type restaurant.The cheesy bread was outstanding and on point.The pizza was not bad, but a fan of the crust. Had the garlic shrimp pizza.The lasagna was good but wanted the lobster ravioli that was on the menu but they don't sell anymore.My wife's pork chop was overcooked and tasted like it was fried and tasted like pork skin. The veggies were over seasoned and potatoes were overcooked.

East of Italy used to be our go to Italian restaurant. But lately food price is has increased to the point that I have to take off my rotation. And size of dish has gotten smaller, (especially ceasor salad) used to be the best!They used to make their own dressing, along with chicken breast that was delicious. Now cost for grilled chicken breast is $5.00 instead of $3.00 and it has gotten smallerMy wife likes her pizza or calzone with alfredo sauce instead of marinara, there is a charge for that substitution. I know inflation and covid has messed up everything along with not being able to get employees I will try again in six months and hope they will be back to old East of Italy.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Hammond! The food and service is always amazing. My daughter loves the kids pizza because they allow them to make it themselves. They bring them the dough and ingredients so they can assemble it at the table. I always get the shrimp Pompeii which somehow tastes even better the next day, as leftovers. The restaurant is small but with great seating and ambiance!

The real hero here is the Caesar salad. The greens are fresh and delicately Seasoned with string Parmesan and croutons. I would go back for the Caesar. It earned an extra star. Otherwise I was underwhelmed with flavor and value. I also ordered the chicken Parmesan which is diced chewy chicken atop a mound of watery angel hair under a generous dollop of grated mozzarella. Chicken isn't breaded as a true parm is. I guess East of Italy literally means not authentic or even close. Served with a doughy unseasoned "breadstick". Very bland.Prices at $9.95 for lunch. Decent portion for price but not enough flavor and technique for my taste

This place was close to my hotel and I love Italian food so after looking at the menu online I gave it a shot. The hostess was right on it, got me seated, got me an IPA and took my order. The IPA "Jucifer was from a local micro brew and I highly recommend it. The food was good but I make my favorite sauce (gravy) .... The meatballs were large and tasted good. The place was spotless which is a pet peeve of mine. The best part of the experience was Lucy my server. She was friendly and helpful and super efficient. The kind of worker I would want working for me if I owned a service business. Good job Lucy, you made this review a 4 start instead of a 3.
