“I live in Chicago but I did not grow up here. That said - I love the pizza here. Like anything else - I order what I like which means sausage pepperoni and mushrooms. I like the crust which is thick and caramelized. The sauce has a nice rich flavor which nicely ties the salty toppings and slightly sweet crust. I also love the original and unpretentious dining area. Reasonably priced, too.“
“Excellent food and amazing customer service !Spacca Napoli never disappoints. The ? are amazing! Definitely recommend visiting. Reservations are recommended for an evening visit .They have daily specials and you can order online too for pick up.“
“We went to Mia Francesa for dinner on Saturday, our server Alfonso introduced us to the new antipasto, the agnolloti and the pollo Milanese were delicious! We finished with the carrot cake. Great experience the energy is unique. We were happy to see the place full!!! Alfonso is a fantastic server, very welcoming, friendly, and really knows how to make the customer's evening a fantastic one!!! We will definitely be back for the delicious food and the fantastic service that Alfonso provides at Mia Francesca.“
“my husband and i had stopped here a few times after eating at rootstock across the street for espresso, but we decided tonight to finally give the food a try! we are totally blown away. per usual, the service is 10/10. friendly, helpful, and all around a great environment. the food was stellar, and our drinks were unique and impressive. we will definitely be back!“
“Eravamo in 4 a cena e siamo rimasti soddisfatti sia del cibo che del servizio . Il locale era pieno di gente ma la cameriera Maria ci ha serviti velocemente e in maniera simpatica e professionale. Le pizze che abbiamo mangiato sono state ottime. Ristorante consigliato.“
“2nd time coming and was bit disappointed. There was few open tables in other parts of the restaurant for group of 4 and they sat us by the door. Every 2-3 mins the server or someone would come up to see if we wanted to order something and barely gave us time to look at the menu. Even during dinner we felt rushed asking us if we want everything then giving us the check before asking if we wanted something else. Overall the food was good but service was very rushed.“
“My boyfriend and I came in for a last minute dinner without a reservation and the hostess was able to seat us on the patio which we appreciated. We ordered the cacio e pepe and the focaccia, and they were both delicious! The cacio e Pepe was a little smaller than what you would receive at other restaurants, but it was just enough for one person, but I would keep that in mind if looking to share dishes.“
“From the moment we stepped into Munno Pizzeria and Bistro, we were greeted with a warmth that only foreshadowed the delightful evening ahead. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between elegance and comfort, making it an ideal setting for any occasion.Each dish we ordered was a testament to the chef’s mastery over Italian cuisine, blending traditional flavors with a modern twist that left us savoring every bite. The pizza, with its perfectly charred crust and innovative toppings, was a highlight, while the pasta dishes were reminiscent of a culinary journey through Italy.What truly sets Munno apart, however, is the impeccable service. The staff’s attention to detail and genuine care for the dining experience made us feel truly special.Our dinner at Munno Pizzeria and Bistro wasn’t just a meal; it was a memorable dining experience that we’re already looking forward to repeating. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, missing out on this Michelin-starred gem would be a mistake. Bravo to the Munno team for exceeding our expectations!“
“I've been to Tortello a few times over the years and I'm never disappointed with the dishes I get. We were celebrating a birthday because we love this place so much and knew we were in for a treat.Both of the pastas we got were excellent, especially the one with hazelnuts, and we had the focaccia which was delightful and came out warm, especially good on a chilly spring day.I really want to try some of the dessert offerings but had eaten so much that I'll have to come back and give them a shot next time.Vegetarian options: If you're unfamiliar with some of the ingredients used in the dishes, the staff is happy to help and inform you about which options are vegetarian. There were at least a handful to choose from.“
“We've been wanting to try this place since it opened, and we are so happy we did! We came here for a date night last week, and everything was amazing. The food was delicious, the cocktails and wine were really great, the service was attentive and welcoming, and the ambience was inviting and cozy. We had a reservation and were seated right away. Our server, Miguel, was really friendly and took great care of us. We started with the fried meatballs, tuna tartar, and rucola salad to start, all of which were so good. We got the tagliatelle ragu and branzino for our mains, also of which were so good. We got the shortbread cake and chocolate gelato for dessert, which we loved as well. All in all, the food tasted very fresh and flavorful. We'll definitely be back here!“
“My guest and I thoroughly enjoyed our time this evening. Our food was wonderful, the ambiance was fun and lively. Our server "AMY" was a total professional .... Many thanks and look forward to seeing you soon.Parking: Hey, It's Chicago....“
“We absolutely loved this place! The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. The owner took the time to explain the region in Italy that inspired the menu and wines. His wine recommendations were amazing. The food was the best we had in our trip to Chicago and the surrounding areas. We will definitely visit again.“
“We were very pleased we chose this place right down the street from our hotel. The food was excellent, and the service was fast. I especially recommend the octopus and cannellini small plate - absolutely divine.The prices were also great. I would have expected to pay at least 50% more for a meal of this quality in the Chicago area.“
“The food is unique, tasty, and filling. $8 gets you 1 arancini and a side, and is enough for the average person. I have a bigger appetite, so I tried 2 kinds: the jerkcino and peanutcino. Both were good and more than enough food. I'll be back to try the other “
“Fantastic place, top to bottom, start to finish. This restaurant group really knows what they're doing, the details from the interior design to the furniture and decor is beautiful. More importantly, the FOOD and the SERVICE. Top notch. Excellent, every aspect, with a staff that is attentive but never overbearing, everyone is friendly and helpful. A really wonderful experience!“
“Very good breakfast food that has a bit of an Italian twist. I have the croque madame and the Benedict pizza. We also got the all you can drink mimosas. There is a 2 hour limit to eat and drink. But you should not have any issues with the limit. Great interior with yummy drinks. I definitely recommend!!!!“
“I'd been wanting to try Bonci ever since I heard about it years ago, but never got a chance to visit their West Loop or Wicker Park spots.But this location is much closer to where I live, so I finally stopped in and tried small slices of the Fried Onion, the Margherita, and a Blueberry one.Really enjoyed all three (Margherita being my least favorite), and very much look forward to going back and trying more of their constantly changing offerings.“
“Exceptional Dining Experience Thanks to Outstanding ServiceI recently had the pleasure of dining here and was blown away by the exceptional service provided by the staff, particularly by Kim M.From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted warmly by Kim M. and made to feel welcomed. Kim M. went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Her attentiveness and genuine care for our needs were truly remarkable.Moreover, the food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was prepared with precision and bursting with flavor. The presentation was impeccable, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to detail.Not only did Kim M. ensure that our orders were taken promptly, but she also checked in regularly to ensure that everything was to our liking. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she was knowledgeable about the menu, accommodating our dietary preferences flawlessly.Overall, my dining experience at here was exceptional, thanks in large part to Kim M.'s exemplary service. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for not only delicious food but also top-notch service. I can't wait to return!“
“Came in for the first time looking for an authentic pasta experience and I GOT IT. Rick was super friendly and helpful, and arranged for us to eat in the shop after hearing we didn’t live nearby. Rigatoni ala vodka and pancetta spinach ravioli were fantastic. The chew to those noodles is out of this world. Focaccia with their house garlic olive oil was a great compliment to our pasta. We will absolutely return another day.“
“Super super cute family owned spot! Not a lot of great deli’s in the area but this was an awesome stop. The staff is SO kind! Although we only tried the deli food the market was well stocked and I look forward to getting supplies to make an authentic Italian dish! Highly “
“Great place to celebrate ! Went to celebrate my husband's birthday. The serve(Antonio) was great , very friendly, accommodating and overall good service. The prices were good , flavor is there , the restaurant atmosphere gave me modern vibes with good upbeat lounge music. The menu has your standard options.i picked the lemon chicken which was delicious. The server came out with tiramisu and lemoncello ;without us asking for it I guess he overheard our conversation that we were there to celebrate a birthday, this was an excellent observation made by him,which I thanked very much. Kuddos to my paisano Antonio.“
“Best local spot for gelato or food!! They always have a huge variety of gelato and ice cream flavors. I love coming here, the portions are always big as well. Their food is served hot and tasty! I also really like the small and intimate environment. I always have great service!“
“We went on a busy Friday night and our table was ready right when we got there. They do pack you in there but it didn’t feel overwhelming.The mussels and burrata appetizer were some of the best I’ve had in the city. The rigatoni and bucatini entrees are great also. We finished the meal off with the house-made limoncello which wasn’t too sweet or overly strong.“
“Excellent food and atmosphere!! I went here with my family and we had a great time. I had the langostino lobster stuffed ravioli in cream sauce and it was delicious I cannot wait to go back. My girlfriend had the penne farcita which was equally delicious!! I’d recommend the tiramisu and the peach cobbler for desert as well!!“
“I have been going to Angelina's for years and it is one of my favorite places for Sunday brunch. The food and mimosas are always tasty and the staff is so attentive. I had not been in awhile and our server remembered me and asked how I was doing. It doesn't get better than that!“
“Pasta D’Arte is a gem. Everything on the menu is fresh, scrumptious, and flavorsome. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about each of the food items. They have a large space, outdoor seating, and an area for private parties, but you can also find an intimate nook if you’re looking for something more romantic. I highly recommend going there for a celebration or a date night.“

“We hosted my son’s communion party at Porretta’s last May and we were very satisfied with everything, so we decided to cater for my mother’s birthday party. We ordered a few days prior and John was able to accommodate us in spite of the short notice.We had it delivered on time and with care. All the food was delicious but our guests especially raved about the Rigatoni Vodka and the mini meatballs.I am already planning our next celebration and will be using Porrettas catering once again!“
“It was our first time, and I loved the classic atmosphere. I was intown for just a few hours and wanted pizza. I found Pat's from the 1 bite reviews. The thin crust did not disappoint. The draft beer list was nice, though they could have filled the glass a little. We also got a tiramisu it was delicious!“
“We visited for the first time yesterday and it was AMAZING! Great ambience, friendly staff, good music but the food was the star of the show. Absolutely delicious! Everything from the bread, salads, soups and entrees. We will definitely be back!!!“
“Flew from Reno to Chicago to see my son play lacrosse in the Milwaukee area. Had to stay in Chicago over night due to problems with our rental car. Happen to stay right next to Frannie"s Beef. So glad we stopped for a Italian beef and sausage combo sandwich. I have been craving a good italian beef sandwich since my last trip to Chicago. This place is an icon. Definitely will be stopping here again.“
“Best vpn pizza in the aria.. staff is on top of everything and service is great , fast quick and fresh then going there for years love it I just wish they would change up their money once in a while introduce new pizzas introduce new dishes but it’s 100% “
“One of the most underrated pizza spots in the city! You can always get a table, excellent service and amazing pizza! Tons of gluten free options in addition to pizza including cheesy garlic bread! The house wine is always inexpensive and delicious!“
“Carmen, our server was fabulous. Table was quiet, which was very nice and we felt our conversation wasn’t listened in on.I selected the skirt steak with the chimichurri. My fiancé had the sea bass on special. Antipasto to share as an appetizer. Bread was warm, butter whipped.Cocktails were good. Would absolutely come back again.The only weird thing, the chairs are leather. The seat I had was clearly stained, not sure what with, but it wasn’t wet or sticky. But the brown stain was a little off putting, but I totally forgot about it once I sat.“
“The food is authentic Italian and is delicious, especially the Rigatoni Con Sugo Di Carne!You can dine in to enjoy pleasant atmosphere and friendly, attentive service.It's in the center of a strip building between other restaurants that look alike so it's kind of hard to notice. In fact, I was told about the place and I live six blocks from it and drive by it almost every day.I have not tried the pizza since the Rigatoni is so good. If you like genuine Italian food, try it. You will return!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs look like they can roll right in. It's all ground level.“
“Everything about our experience was five stars. First off the ambiance was so nice, stylish but comfortable and cozy. My four year old spilled milk all over him, the booth and the floor. The staff, Claudia (server), Andres and Kristine (host) were so unbelievably kind, attentive and responsive I don't think I have ever experienced that before. Kristine was so helpful and concerned she even offered me a clean towel to help dry him off in the restroom. I haven't even mentioned the food! Everything we ordered was delicious. We had an assortment of small plates (focaccia, Brussel sprouts, calamari, farro) as well as pasta and the burger was enjoyed by all. We would definitely be regulars if we were local.“
“If you want an amazing steak, this is the place! Steak at an Italian restaurant you ask? Yes. They have a dry aged tomahawk steak this is to die for. Mind you it is expensive, but so worth it. It’s huge and when we go as a couple we get it plus a few sides. It is also great for a larger group because then you have room to enjoy their pastas and desert. People usually think you go to a steakhouse to get a great steak. But I have found that many Italian and French restaurants offer these larger prime cuts and they are usually outstanding.“
“When in Chicago, you can't skip on this place. The pizza was amazing. This was my first time trying Deep Dish (Chicago Style) pizza, and I'm glad I went with the best for my first time. We also had the fried mozzarella and the bruschetta. The Bruschetta is nicknamed "The Best" and after having it, I now know why. Our waitress was super nice. She was an older lady with a Boston accent but she was so funny and took really good care of us.“
“This is one of the best little family owned Italian restaurants! Enjoyed a great family dinner. Not rushed like other places today. Food was phenomenal and pricing very reasonable for the high quality of the food and the extras. Great service. Will be back when I am up in the area again.“
“I have been shopping at Nottoli for 25+ years. Their Italian sausage is the best. Yesterday, I called in an order for a party tray of 40 mini sub sandwiches at 2:15 pm. They were ready at 3:15 for pick up. The sandwiches were “award winning”. My wife brought them to a rehearsal for her church choir. Their staff is top notch. If you have not visited the store please do, you will not be disappointed.“
“Sapori is one of the best restaurants in Chicago! From the comfy and intimate atmosphere to the authentic Italian comfort food, it is one of the best places to visit when you are craving delicious Italian food and great drinks. Highly recommend!“
“We were in the area overnight and looking for something authentic and quiet. We found both!! We didn’t realize it was byob but it didn’t matter. This is absolutely some of the best Italian food in the City/Suburbs. We live way south but will absolutely be back for the food. Great food, great service, wonderful atmosphere!!“
“A fantastic place to have deep dish pizza in Chicago! A friend recommended this as we are from out of country. Would definitely come back again for their deep dish pizza stuffed crust. Their pizza crust is the best thing another the pizza (I personally don’t eat crusts on pizza, but here, it’s my favourite part). We also had a side of parmesan garlic fries and a Caesar salad which were a fantastic addition. Thanks Dimitri for the fantastic service!“
“This restaurant is on my top 10 dishes list. I loveeee this place. It’s one of my happy places that’s full of zen. The food gives me a hug. It’s fresh and delicious. I always order the sangria and the Cavatappi Pollo. I now order the Cavatappi Pollo with angel hair pasta and shrimp. Pure perfection! This restaurant is consistent and absolutely delicious! You deserve this treat!“
“Would I visit this place again: YesWas this place clean: YesOutdoor seating: YesWas this place hard to find: NoWhat would I change about this place: NothingWhat was my favorite thing about this place: Real homemade espresso and delicious food. The atmosphere is authentic and I felt at home again.“
“The food here is beyond exquisite. Homemade gnocchi and table side polenta steal the show, but everything is amazing. Make sure to ask for a table outside in the wine garden in the back. You will pass through this tiny restaurant into a true oasis in the back. The unassuming front of the restaurant wouldn’t make you think the food is as incredible as it is.“
“All I will say is this. It’s what I said to the man running the bar. “It took a while to get a reservation here. Thank you for having us.” We will be returning there again. Amazing everything. Definitely checks the big 3 with 5 stars each.“
“Incredible food with very handsome cash register workers. 10/10 would go again! Growing up in Italy I can say they have the best Italian food I've had since moving to the Americas. Hopefully their business continues to thrive and become more and more recognized.“
“I hadn't been here in about 15+ years. Finally came back. Ordered a sweet beef, hot beef, chicken tenders, & fries for $30. Everything was great! Prices are pretty low given the crazy inflation going on right now. Quick service. Will definitely be back“
“Really enjoyed the food and service. Sadey was extremely accommodating, friendly and made for a really great experience for our family dinner. She was so knowledgeable about the menu and so kind to our kids. The deep dish is the best of all Chicago deep dish!“
