Isle of Rhodes 111 West Main Street, Morrison, IL 61270

"Always friendly; always great food. The restaurant might be situated in the Midwest, but the servers offer a “southern charm” that set you at ease. The dining room is small and intimate, but quite cold in the autumn and winter since take-out orders are being picked up on a near constant basis through the main entrance. I typically sit in a window nook to avoid the blasts of cold air blowing through the open door. The only way to fix this is to open a new location for delivery and pickup, but that seems remote. So don’t leave your mittens and hats in the car because you may need them if you will be dining inside the restaurant during winter. One might be better joining the line of take-out orders and returning home than eating inside during colder months. If I could offer a suggestion for another dish to add to their menu, it would be Penne alla Vodka. This would add some diversity to their sauces, as it seems only one sauce is used in each pasta dish, therefore each pasta dish tastes nearly identical in flavor. Spaghetti, mostaccioli, lasagna; it tastes the same in my opinion. I would encourage the proprietors to explore the possibility of a an additional sauce and experiment. The only other sauce they seem to have is marinara as a dipping sauce, which is quite tasty. I am not partial to their pizza, but the rest of the menu is top-notch. Whatever improvements I feel might be needed for a tastier pizza, the quality of pizza Isle of Rhodes prepares is still light years ahead of Happy Joe’s on the same block and is quite impressive for a small, family owned eatery. Whether your heart is set on pizza, pasta, or Americana fare, Isle of Rhodes is ready to please your palate."

"Excellent thin crust pizza with great sauce and quality toppings. a sweet sourdough bread. Generous servings."

"This restaurant has been around for years. They relocated to a smaller building just down the road. I’m so glad they’re still around. It’s a staple every time I make it back to Morrison. It’s a little hard to find parking but after house the bank lot across the street works well. My go to is tortellini or baked tortellini or baked mostaccioli. The other fav is their all meat pizza minus the sliced beef. Their bread is amazing. You’ll likely want another half or whole loaf to take with you. The restaurant is simple and small no frills. Service is great. Generally a server who seems like she is always there and always has a smile to share, even on busy nights. Go get ya some Italian food. You won’t be disappointed."

"This is a nice little family type Italian restaurant in a small town. Parking can be a challenge as it is along a one way with many other businesses They appear to do a bang-up carryout business. As there was a line the whole time we were there. There was only 1 waitress who did fantastic at keeping up with the whole eat in customers and the carryout people. The menu is varied with pizza, pastas but also it has sandwiches. We ordered way more food than we could eat but it will be nice for leftovers. The food came out quickly, fresh and hot, the server warned us that the pasta and bowls were very hot and she was not kidding."

"Wow! We can't figure out how we missed out on this place all these years. Beef gyro was so good and the slightly seasoned fries were perfect. Fish sandwich w/ ravioli bites was also perfect. I can't say enough about our server! She was amazing and juggled everything like a pro! Thank you, we will be back!"
