The Best Lasagna in Rockford According to Locals

Sherri J. on Yelp says, "My favorite lasagna in the world is at Lino's," and Catherine S. called the dish "to die for," while Kyle S.'s one-word review of the lasagna, "OMG!" should be all you need to know.

Here are a few other Rockford restaurants that you should probably check out if you love lasagna:

  • Salamone's North
  • Nunzio's
  • John's Italian Restaurant
  • Capri

  • Saparito's in Lena
