Used to patronize when it was Alejo. Hard to locate off Lincoln and Washington, but if you find it in the small mall you won't regret being there. It's now Eddie's.Went yesterday and got my usual, a lasagna. It was still good.In fact truth be told all the food is very good. Glad it's still open. Used to work down the street, came every 2-3 days and although the name is different, the food is very much the same.Good.

I first started patronizing Eddie's Italian while driving a cab in 2010 or so on advice of one of my clients, a pilot. His advice consisted of two tips:
-"Stop off at the 7-Eleven next door and pick up a tall boy before you eat."
While Eddie's does not serve alcohol, they do have a $0 corkage fee, essentially a drink-if-you-got-em policy. Bring your own beer and wine for a more elevated dining experience.
-"Order the linguine with clams."
I've been here probably 50 or 60 times, ordered other stuff a few times but this is really where Eddie's stands out.
This place is super consistent and super cheap. The downside is you have to deal with a cramped parking lot full of questionable characters. Personally, I've never had a problem with anyone there but I know people who have. Quite a few wingnuts that like hanging out around the 7-Eleven and the donut shop.
If you brave the obstacles, however, you will be rewarded.

This place has been my favorite way back when it was Allejo's. I love being able to bring my own wine without a corkage fee and I love their food, especially the garlic dip! Linguini with clams is one of my faves.

Holy cow this little hole in the wall is full of flavor. Totally exceeded expectations. We wanted a causal place for Italian that didn’t get too pricey. Everything was reasonably priced and I was happy with the variety on the menu.
The space is tiny but it didn’t feel too crowded with even only a few tables open. The servers were so attentive and friendly. The bread and oil when we sat down was such a nice touch. I really enjoyed being able to listen to the kitchen bustle and watch the chefs.
I got the spaghetti and meatballs. The portions are HUGE and I only ate about 1/3. The whole dish was cooked perfectly and had that nostalgic taste. My boyfriend got the pepperoni pizza. The crust was fantastic but he thought they were a touch heavy on the cheese.

Excellent Italian restaurant. The food is always fresh and so good! The parking lot is small. Be patient! It's worth the wait to get a parking space because your meal will be delicious!

Frequented this establishment from before when it was still called Alejos. I assume, due to the constant mix ups with the other Alejos location further south on Lincoln, the restaurant changed its name to Eddie's. The menu and food remain the same. The bread has changed to a toasted bread which is nice, but not the same doughy bread from before. The garlic and Parmigian cheese is a staple and the pizza and pasta are tasty as usual. With the covid protocols and takeout only containers the portions seem a bit smaller but they were pretty large to begin with.

Half the tables needed to be cleaned. Got a calzone and it was straight trash. Been to 10 different locations and this was the worst. It was literally bread and cheese. No ricotta, no tomato sauce.

Eddie's is one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever eaten at. Not only is the food delicious but the service is wonderful as well. For example, our server was constantly coming out and refilling our water without even being asked. Another thing I noticed was that every single employee I saw looked like they actually enjoyed being there and making the food. This makes for an extra enjoyable atmosphere. Eddie's is definitely a fun, delicious experience and I definitely will recommend them to anyone.
