Eat upstairs for lunch in the bar . Vinny is a trip. If you have time, get the Caesar salad made tableside. Excellent. The meatballs here are the best in the city . Very good thin crust pizza .
There were 3 different types of pasta in my lasagna - all handmade and delicious. Great service too, and big plus for classy semi booths .
Great atmosphere. Semi-private booth and food was amazing. Really family friendly with tons of kids there but well-behaved. Service is phenomenal. Wine list is extensive. Prices are reasonable.
WOW The atmosphere was amazing, pleasant service and the servers were fantastic. Our host had a wonderful italian accent! our Server was Polish and we loved his accent also. The food was PERFECT
The atmosphere here is great. The place is decorated to actually look like a mini village . It’s super cute !
Love the atmosphere and private booths ! Get the Chicken Parm . Be careful not to go to Vivere restaurant downstairs on accident, the Village is upstairs. Great for a date!
We love this place! You must eat upstairs feels like a summer day in Italy! The chicken Marsala , the Alfredo and the tiramisu are the best of any Italian place we have ever been.
With three different restaurants to serve you, you should always be able to find a table. Personal favorite: Linguine con frutti di mare ! Valet parking is available. Catching a show nearby? Eat here!
The food is to die for. If I lived in Chicago, I would be a regular. Try and sit at one of the booths when you visit. Lovely decor
There is nothing that isn't amazing about this restaurant . Love the culture, atmosphere, service, and exquisite food. It's my family's favorite restaurant in the entire city .
Excellent service and atmosphere! Ask for a table upstairs! Highly recommend their seafood ravioli and the lasagna !
I was there for lunch , there food, decor, service and price were totally worth trying. Very smiling staff !
The lasagna and the spaghetti with meat sauce are great! Don't forget to add mozzarella !
The Cobb salad was excellent. Also the lunch portion ravioli with meat sauce is seasoned well .
If you get the lasagne , poke a few holes in the top to make it cool off a little quicker.
Beautiful atmosphere! The eggplant parmigiana was amazing!
I had the most delicious risotto I’ve ever had!! Make a reservation !
Cool hidden themed Italian experience. Best service at a restaurant at lunch hour.
Good classic spaghetti and meatballs . Excellent family experience.
Great date spot , lasagna was real filling and their pizza feeds 2.
delicious! customer service is off the chart. I went to the upper restaurant , great old Italy feel. I heard the restaurants on the main and lower floor are just as yummy..
Their mimosas are tasty - the upstairs bar section is very pretty!
Don't miss out on a great lasagna it's fantastic !
The best pasta & lasagna we've ever had! Beautiful scenery ♥
Agree with others, the Frutti di Mari Linguini was quite good. Great service as well .
Sat upstairs, beautiful restaurant will excellent service and good food
Best Italian food in Chicago. All capones favorite place to eat.

Calamari , lasagna ! Pizzas are great!
The baked mostaccioli with spicy arrabbiata sauce and meatballs is usually why I come to Chicago.
Seafood Rav was great. But don't overlook Meatball Sub .
Live music upstairs Wednesday. Bartender is friendly :)
Was only here for drinks but the bartender was very friendly and knew how to make a cocktail .
Shrimp linguini is pretty phenomenal, and the bread sticks are awesome.
The food here is delicious! The pizza is a must try!

This might sound lame but get the Garlic Bread with Cheese . It's insane!
Excellent. Try the linguini with clams on 2nd floor.
Great live music !!! Try the Angolotti!
Ambiance & Food
Go upstairs. Sit in the bar with Vinnie. Watch. Tip well
Go there hungry. The frutta di mare linguine was the best I've had on either side of the Atlantic. Fantastic food! Read more
Simply wonderful-you will not be disappointed
Catch Vinnie at the bar upstairs. Rated R kinda fun.
EXPENSIVE, unlike what the reviews online say. But don't get me wrong the food is great!
Oh my word...gat did they do, pay people to leave positive tips? The food was subpar..the service subpar...the decorations circa 1970s. Chef Ramsey w Kitchen Nightnares would have a field day. Ugh.
Homemade cheesecake is delicious
Free pizza on the top floor from 4-6 mon-fri. Holla
Their desserts are pretty much a taste of heaven to say the least.
Get the spaghetti Nero frutti di mare (seafood with black pasta) it's amazing! Great calamari too. - Marco Morelli
Great menu, I still often order off menu - great kitchen, never disappointed. - Brent Gatewood
Love the laid back friendly service and uncomplicated food - ISC Chicago
Choose seats that are higher up and centered over seats that are lower and towards the back or sides. Lots of obstructive views here - Mike
Beautiful theatre. Courteous yet firm staff. Aladdin was colorful and dazzling. - Shannon Lindell
At the intermission now and have to say that the first act was really excellent - funny, fun and very well done. Highly recommend if you get a chance - it’s only here for 2 weeks. - Inigo Montoya
