this place is awesome ! ... everybody is super nice, the portions are huge and it's quite affordable , this is your classic neighbourhood restaurant ... no bs here, no hipsters , no foodies just locals
Bruschetta is outstanding and the Cranberry Gorgonzola Salad is amazing. I ordered the small portion of the salad and it was just enough. Very reasonable prices!
Farfalle was sooo good! My family loved the crab cake appetizer ! Delicious food.
I had the spaghetti and meatballs . VERY flavorful. Carlos even bought me a beer . Love this place.
Cheese garlic bread (on the house for being firsttimers). Tortellini Crema ! Farfalle pollo ! Chicken parm ! All Amazinggggg. Very nice staff .
Simply good. Good food. Good service . Good vibes. Good prices. Been here often. I’ll be back!
I have been at the Pasta Bowl seven years ago and while the venue expanded, this remains a gem! Italian family who cares about good quality, but inexpensive , food!
Get the gnocchi aurora and add the sausage . This is my new favorite comfort food in Chicago! Plus $3.75 Anchor Steam Christmas Ale doesn't hurt either.
Everything on the menu is AMAZING. Hearty portions for a small price. The Cranberry Gorgonzola salad is a must to start!
Great atmosphere, great food, great music ! The conchiglie gorgonzola is my favorite dish!
Cute divey restaurant , wish I would have eaten here more when I lived in Chicago!

Adam's Antipasto is amazing, as are the pizzas . The Farfalle Pollo is as described; a sure winner
They make a great Cosmo and the pasta with fresh mozzarella and tomatoes was awesome!
Jumbo cookie with vanilla scoops! Must have!
Farfalle pollo & pollo panini both awesome!

Delicious, affordable , and fast. Farfalle Pollo and Gorgonzola pasta are both very good.
Great selection of pasta dishes for any appetite
Great pasta just be careful - your eyes may be bigger than your stomach!!
The cappellini pomodoro with a glass of Malbec was just what the doctor ordered.
Great iced tea . Monday is lasagna night. Tuesdays wine bottles are half off.
Great iced tea . Monday is lasagna night. Half priced bottles of wine on tuesdays.
Monday is Lasagna night, Tuesday is 1/2 price wine night . Every other night is a good night for farfalle pollo
Get the Bolognese !
The gnocchi aurora is probably the best dish I've ever had!
Penne puttanesca has a kick, it's delicious!
Difficult to find anything on the menu that isn't creamy and/or smothered in cheese . Service a bit of a miss, more like a fast food experience. Avoid.
Efficient, friendly , generous portions , and importantly half priced bottle wine every tuesday ......woooohhhooooo !!
Perfect Sizes! Get the Gnocci Auroa, it's excellent!!
Consistently great!
Yummmmmyyyy 😋
The gnocchi aurora is amazeballs!
Great lobster ravioli , also good cranberry gorgonzola salad !
The tortellini was fantastic and the farfalle was even better! 10/10 would go again.
Food is great. The service wasn't.
Great pasta , great atmosphere and there is an attached bar next door. I love the chicken fettuccine Alfredo . Yum.
Nothing is good I'm so discussed they won't take ther food back like really so rude
It's all about Farfalle Pollo !
Their mac and cheese is heaven on a plate.
