Restaurants in Chicago

“My Fiancé and I discovered this restaurant after watching “Somebody Feed Fill” and were inspired and intrigued by Sarah’s restaurant and craftsmanship. We had our eye on getting reservations here for a very long time and we ended up landing lunch reservations for my Fiancés birthday (whom is also a Chef). We just happened to be seated by the expo line near the kitchen where we saw Sarah working. From start to finish our server Rose, and Sarah made sure our experience was personalized special. Sarah even signed the cookbook we bought and menu! Everything was on point from the food to the service. I can see why it’s so hard to get a reservation here! If we could rate our experience higher we would. We greatly appreciate the hospitality and dedication that this restaurant displays!”

“Entirely vegan restaurant in Wicker Park, Chicago. The food was so good we forgot to take pictures. We went for brunch. We split half of the stuffed French toast which was like an organsmic experience. We split the churro waffle that was light and fluffy like no vegan waffle I’ve ever had. We each had a cappuccino that was rich and amazing. This is the vegan brunch place that I’ve been missing.”

“Tapsilog, tocilog, fried fish, halo halo.”

“Fantastic food and service!!!”

“Came here for lunch, got their lunch special with individual deep dish, salad and drink, pretty good deal. We liked the deep dish here as they were not too greasy and the crust was flaky but not tough. Salad was a great fresh side.

The restaurant has all kinds of writings on the walls from visitors, pretty fun vibe.”

“Foodie and gals it’s are addictive. Warning!! 💕💕💕💕”

“Esme is truly an experience to have. We did the menu and the wine pairing and it was amazing. From the presentation to the food was unbelievable and will definitely do it again as it changes quarterly”

“Wonderful tapas Sunday brunch. Creative, fun and delicious.”

“Wonderful Birthday/ Father’s Dinner tonight…Ambiance, Food and Staff absolutely incredible!!! John and Cole, along with the rest of the Ciccio Team are the consummate professionals!!!”

“Went here for a date night and it was excellent. The quality and quantity of food was appropriate for the price point and the food was excellent. Another highlight was the sake. They had a great selection that paired with the food and the server was very knowledgeable and helpful. Overall if you want a laid back omakase with quality food, go here”

“Absolute amazing experience. We did the tour which cost us 15usd per person and included tasting 3 different beers, already an amazing deal for the money you pay. Chris, our tour guide was very funny and easy to get along with. He deserves a raise for sure, shout out to him. I highly recommend doing the tour if you are visiting Chicago or are a local and trying out the tap room as well!”

“A Culinary Journey at One Michelin Star Fine Dining Experience
I had the privilege of taking my culinary guru—my mom—to experience a One Michelin Star fine dining tasting menu. Here’s a breakdown of our experience:

Dokhla Aero
This dish was a pleasant surprise! I never imagined Dokhla could be made with white chocolate, but it worked beautifully. The white chocolate melted in my mouth, perfectly balanced by the spicy chutney on top. It was a unique and delightful start to the meal.

Pani Puri
While the tart/puri was a bit hard, which affected the overall experience, the flavor was still good. The real highlight was the pani inside the bubble—it was an innovative twist on this classic street food, and the burst of flavor was quite enjoyable.

Mushroom Éclair
The mushroom flavor here was subtle yet delicious. The éclair itself was soft and melted in my mouth. It was a delicate balance of texture and taste, with the mild mushroom essence coming through beautifully.

Yogurt Chaat
This dish impressed us both. The base layer of yogurt pannacotta was creamy and rich, while the crispy potato chip provided the perfect crunch. Overall, it was a refined version of a familiar chaat, with excellent balance and flavor.

Scallop Xec Xec
The scallop was perfectly cooked—soft, fresh, and tender. The accompanying sauce was well-balanced, and the caviar added a nice touch. Overall, a delightful dish, although the caviar didn’t stand out as much as I would have hoped.

Lobster Moilee
The curry mousse was flavorful, and the lobster was cooked to perfection. However, the shrimp head thecha didn’t quite come through as strongly as expected, which left the dish a bit less complex than anticipated. Still, the overall taste was good.

Chicken Katli
This dish featured three layers of chicken, which were well-cooked and flavorful. The accompanying sauce was tasty, and the chili kulcha was mild, making for a nice balance. While it was interesting

Lamb Nihari
This was the one dish that didn’t quite live up to expectations. The lamb was cooked well, but the nihari sauce was rather bland, and the overall seasoning felt lacking. The ribs roll, with its ginger topping, was decent, but the potato and green pea puree didn’t complement the dish well. Overall, this dish felt out of place in an otherwise strong tasting menu.

Dal Makhani
A classic, and done very well here. The dal was rich and flavorful, especially when paired with garlic naan. A comforting, satisfying dish.

Mishti Doi
Visually appealing, but it didn’t quite deliver on taste. It had the texture of a cracker dipped in jaggery syrup, and unfortunately, the mishti doi flavor was lost in the mix.

Tamarind Ganache
This was an exciting flavor combination—sour tamarind with rich chocolate. It was an unusual, sour take on ganache, and while interesting, it might not be for everyone.

Guava Jelly
A refreshing and delightful note to end the meal on. Sweet, tangy, and the perfect palate cleanser.

Service
The service was overall pleasant. The staff was attentive, and they made sure to note any allergies. However, I felt the servers could have explained the dishes in more detail, and the pacing was a bit rushed. It didn’t detract from the experience, but a little more explanation and a slower pace would have enhanced the overall atmosphere.

Final Thoughts
Overall, this was a wonderful experience. Despite a few missteps with certain dishes, both my mom and I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The restaurant offers a unique take on Indian cuisine, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience Indian food in a new, elevated way.”

“Intimate place with great food and service. Chicken parmesan and rigatoni were delicious. If I lived closer, I certainly would be a regular.”

“Maine Lobster dumpling and Tuna Lumpia is a must try.
Mediterranean Sea bass melts in your mouth.
Surprisingly fried chicken was good too
End it with a banana budino?”

“Outstanding! Highly recommended Knowledgeable, friendly staff and incredible experience”

“We LOVE ❤️ Milly’s meticulously hand crafted pizza! You can absolutely taste the love and care that goes into their food-well worth the wait to experience this deliciousness!! Keep up the great work we’re customers for life!”

“wagyu was such a fun experience! we went for our annual girls trip and Simon took such great care of us. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“This place is impeccable. The food is amazing and the service is wonderful. Dessert blew my mind. So inventive and fun! Highly recommend.”

“This place has a cool, hip vibe and it’s fun to eat at the communal tables. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great variety of beer and creative craft cocktails. Food is beautifully plated and delicious - make sure to try the potatoes, baby gem salad and hanger steak.”

“Cozy enviroment that realy welcomes the client! Besides the amazing food, has a good service and pretty decoration! A highlight is the "plastic bubbles" for the outside service!”

“Lugar acogedor, el pulpo exquisito. Procuren ir a la hora de la apertura (4 p.m. ) a esa hora es menos concurrido lo que permite que la atención sea aún más espectacular.”

“I been coming to this area for over five years and I like that captain hooks is open 24 hours. I like the service of the staff and the food is always hot and delicious.

Kid-friendliness: There are kid meals

Wheelchair accessibility: There is handicap parking available”

“I loved it. Have been passing by this place since over a decade ago and never had the time. By coincidence I checked it out a few days ago and I ordered a double cheeseburger with onion rings and it was delicious! I also had a chilli which I recommend if you’re into dips! Very good service. Modest prices.”

“Fantastic breakfast, amazing service food was great 👍”

“Is best polish around.....”

“Great breakfast spot!!
Chunk-yee gone get you right.!!!
Your order will be exactly what you placed.
Just tell them how you want and it’ll shall be done
Chunk-yee is the Waitress name)”

“I love the shrimp, always fresh and very delicious every time!”

“Don's grill was so incredibly fast and good! 🔥 We walked right over from Douglas park where our music festival was and even though only 2 people were working, they were hustling and gliding like pros! 🏃‍♂️💨 The food was really good and all of it was made to order right in front of us. 👀 The patty melt was exactly what I needed and the breakfast was grubbin'! 🤤”

“I was impressed! I travel and experience lots places and this is one of my favorites!”

“NICE PLACE relax everyone relax me”

“A 24 hour diner if there ever was one. Good extensive menu with a solid selection of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options.

Food was exactly what I'd expect of a place like this at 5am and I was delicious.

Four to six am I would say is peak time to go if you want the best early morning diner experience.”

“This vending machine has been here for years! Very convenient location as it's by the underground walkway. Lots of drink options! Hope they roll this out to more locations!”

“One of the few 24hr diners left in the city! Menu is extensive, falling short perhaps only to the Cheesecake Factory. Service is always quick and prices are reasonable. Great for a late night or early morning meal in a pinch.”

“The store was very clean and the food was all fresh. The employee that made our sandwiches was awesome. Their service is quick and the store is clean. This is how all Subways should be!”

“For a girl passionate about small pretty cakes, this was awesome to visit while in Chicago!!! Fun idea and great cupcakes!!!!”

“When I arrived at LAX late at night, I was disappointed to find that all the food options were closed. Hungry and unsure of what to get, I stumbled upon a Farmer’s Fridge vending machine and decided to give it a try. I chose the chicken Caesar salad, not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, the flavors were well-balanced, and it tasted far better than I anticipated. It was a convenient and satisfying option, and I’d definitely grab one again in a pinch!”

“By far the best 🍔 I’ve ever had! The fusion of flavors 🤯”

“Wonderful restaurant. Food was excellent very close to what I had in Rome. Staff very friendly and made our dining very enjoyable! Go here!!”

“Delicious 😋 food！ Warm and kind service ! Cozy atmosphere 😊 !”

“Amazing food and drinks, so many games to play off-the-shelf, and the staff members are super friendly. It's more than a Cafe, it feels like a cozy board game community that we just can't get enough of. Stay & Play is a great time, every time!”

“Top notch service, drinks were phenomenal, and the food simply EXCEPTIONAL. Thank you for the VIP treatment on my Anniversary! You peeps are amazing!”

“Papaya Salad, Grilled Squid, Crab meat fried rice.”

“"This is my new favorite thing." -Dr. A. Haller”

“Amazing food here! Sticky bun with cream cheese frosting? And cheese curds fried on duck fat?!? Hell yes!”

“I am late writing my review but I had to write it !! I visited provare chicago On july 8th !! From start to finish this restaurant gets 5 starts . The decor was nice and set a perfect atmosphere for a great night . We were greeted immediately upon arrival and seated within 5 minutes of being there . Once seated the wait staff began their introduction's on drinks and popular menu item's. After my party ordered drinks and appetizers a gentleman came over (not sure if he was the manager) and introduce himself and made sure we were having a great experience. Appetizers were amazing!! We couldn't wait for dinner!! Our entrées we just as good if not better ! Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection! When we didn't think the night could get even better the entire wait staff and the gentleman that came over before stopped and recognized my friend for her birthday and brought over a birthday surprise!! I live 307 miles and this place was definitely worth the drive !!!”

“As Islanders living here, this place is a piece of of home. Onolicious grinds!”

“We stopped in today on a tip and what a delicious treat! Highly recommend!”

“my best friend and I just had the BEST experience at the whale! Our waitress taylor was incredible and the manager (so sorry but we never got his name because he was just being so nice to us) was incredible as well. We will definitely return with friends and recommend anyone to try it out! classy, but not snobby, cool decor, warm kind and accommodating staff, and great food and cocktails are just the cherry on top! try the carrot cake after your meal :) Thank you again to taylor and the manager again <3”

“Highly impressed with your work and services”

“Kind hearted people are quite rare to find as cooperate people or as individuals also. I'm sharing a 4 years friendship and business relationship i've shared with Mr Ralph Carico for being such an awesome, kind and specially oriented. Thank you for being supportive each time i buy and invest in digital stocks and coins with your firm.”

“The best birria I have ever eaten in my entire life. I've just been there for the first time and it's simply incredible. From the first place, I was involved in something difficult to explain, so many years passing and never having given them a chance or knowing the goodness of their food.”

“i come here all the time! best pho i’ve found in the city! very authentic food and atmosphere. the pork egg rolls are also AMAZING as well as their bah mi sandwich’s! great place with great service and just the best food.”

“Each time I come to Obelix I am so surprised. Via it's James' (wonderfully friendly, knowledgeable bartender) or Jamie (friendly, made great pairing recommendations) both have made each experience better than the last. I'll forever mourn the loss of the omelet, but highly recommend this spot for anyone passionate about wine or missing france.”

“Excellent food, superb wait staff, excellent atmosphere! We had an absolutely fabulous dining experience!!”

“I had an engagement party for my Son and his fiancée. It was in the lawn next to our building on the lake in Chicago. A casually elegant setting. We had a lot of different food prepared professionally and I made salads, and we grilled steaks, burgers and chicken. Khmai was enlisted to do all the appetizers, some additional salads and various spreads and dips. I have Mai my approximate budget, let her know what I was preparing and planned to cook and asked her to do her best to come up with what she thought would be best as complimentary. She outdid herself. The staff is lovely to work with, helpful and genuine. My guests were blown away by the delicious and complex tastes we are not used to since most had never had Cambodian food prior. Fermented catfish dip? Wonderful, all the rolls veg or not were terrific, shrimp toast was my personal favorite, salads crisp, spicy and everything felt special and unique. Flavors so rich and vibrant felt like a special treat. It was perfect served with standard picnic fare a little elevated. The atmosphere of the party was pitch perfect, while retaining a quiet all American type picnic feel, the quality of both the food I had prepared and grilled, plus the array of flavors the appetizers added made it seem really special and definitely a treat and celebratory. It felt like someone really cared and tried to make it memorable and my guests were over the moon for this food. I would absolutely recommend dining there, we have a few times and it’s a family feeling you just can’t force or create without it being real. Thank you for your heart and talent to this wonderfully talented mother and daughter team!”

“I moved to Chicago from the PNW so I had lots of food from Portland and Seattle. This is the first place I’ve been to in Chicago that occupies time in my mind. Incredibly delicious food! I’m not much of a sushi person either but this place has convinced me to try everything on their menu. It’s pricey but completely worth it. Go on a Monday for $9 Maki Rolls (Maki Monday) and try 3-4 of them (between 2 people) if you don’t want to spend a lot of money.”

“This family operated eatery was a great place to meet friends for quiet conservation. It would be a great date place as well. They will customize your order on request (one of our gang was. It about cilantro 🙄), a fresh mint herbal tea, and lechon (pork) with rice and plantains was mixed and matched for us. My arroz con pollo was delivered late as a chicken paella but very tasty nonetheless. They did not charge due to late arrival. The only weak spot was the Cuban sandwich - just not enough meat. So very friendly and informal…and almost a five star. We will be back!”

“Great visit and good tasty food”

“Near and far the best Dimo’s location in the city, the atmosphere is amazing and honestly the pizza tastes best here!! Always love coming to dimo’s and gorging out!!!!”

“We enjoyed everything whatever we ordered”

“Great happy hour daily 5-6pm The burgers are so good !! Always fun”

“Wonderful meal while on our van Galder day trip to a concert. Wonderful service, food and atmosphere. They even packaged up a tiramisu for our bus driver!”

“The restaurant, run by chef Guy Meikle, offers a variety of caviar and innovative dishes such as sour cream and cheddar ice cream topped with Polanco Siberian caviar”

“I have been here several times and it's always very very good!!!! Chef Poom and Jane are friendly and super gentle to serve me. This is the best omakase time i have ever had!”

“Enjoyed the Christmas pop-up, very festive and the food is fantastic!”

“I have gone to Andros Taverna for many years now where I am never disappointed and always impressed with the service, the quality of food and ingredients, the atmosphere and the passion in general. Chef Doug Psaltis is a true expert and artist performing at the highest levels. The gyros are the best, best gyros in Chicago by far, the seafood world class, the homemade bread and pita are incredible. The foods and meats are cooked over wood fire, wood fire grilled. We had our daughters baptism catered from here which was excellent assortment of Greek food - this is a Greek restaurant you will go to for many years to come.”

“Was there for my bachelorette dinner. Breathtaking experiences as soon as we entered the door, phenomenal flavours and presentations, all around the best Michelin experience we’d ever had.”

“Great food, amazing ambiance and incredible staff. One of the nicest Chicago steakhouses I’ve been to. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing customer service and absolutely delicious food! Every time I go, I'm impressed by the variety of dishes and the exceptional service. The service has been unmatched, making every visit a truly memorable experience.”

“Overall it was a great experience. We did the tableside Omasake and it was tasty. The Japanese Whiskey selection was great and service was amazing. Highly recommend.”

“Incredible food and service.”

“Food is meant to be enjoyed but food can also be an experience and I have never been anywhere that did this quite as well as Schwa. Every dish was both beautiful and delicious and you could see the intentionality behind every decision. I particularly loved both the wagyu and the quail which were probably the best meats I’ve ever had.

As far the experience itself, I can acknowledge it’s not for everyone but it was certainly for me. The music is loud but not overwhelming and I felt like they were playing one of my playlists. Really I just had a lot of fun dining here. I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday experience and hopefully I can come back for another special occasion soon.”

“Hands down the best meal I have ever eaten. If you’re looking for quantity this is not it but if you relax and let your taste buds guide you it’s. Next level. Great service and food. Way too expensive though but it’s an experience… 5 starts”

“Great food and exceptional service”

“Beautiful food and wine. Great atmosphere. Staff that were attentive without being overbearing. Michelin stars. And a 5m walk from the apartment. This could become an expensive habit!”

“good to sit and foods also good”

“Amazing food. Great atmosphere. What more can be said?”

“Amazing freshest sushi , best in the town , great service , and nice ambiance.”

“Very top tier Japanese Restaurant in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood. Fresh food, fresh, delicious, world class chef, and an evening to remember.”

“The omakase was okay, nothing too impressive though, actually some of the courses are either too salty or too much fusion, the pairing sakes was the highlight though”

“Despite all of the accolades and awards Boka still feels underrated to me. I dined there with my wife for our Anniversary tonight and they were spectacular! The service was friendly, professional, and fancy (fancier than I’m used too, it was an experience) the building is as stylish as the creative plating. The cuisine all hit me in multiple layers like a perfect boxing combo before laying out my taste buds, they died happy) they even personalized menus and dessert for our anniversary! I can’t recommend Boka more!”

“First and foremost The Service Was Amazing Considering We Came In 30 mins To Closing 🤪 The 2 ladies were so sweet!!!! Gelato was delicious Highly recommended!!! Definitely found our new spot!!!!”

“All I can say is WOW! By far the absolute best pizza I've ever eaten! We're here all the way from NC to eat authentic Deep dish and we have found it! We will definitely be back! Thanks, George!”

“Being from the suburbs traveling downtown can be an experience. This particular experience made our day. Moving our daughter into DePaul we came upon the owner of Red Light chicken who gave us a few pointers in parking near his establishment, after taking the time to help us find a spot he happily welcomed us with a free chicken sandwich which I’m happy to report was delicious. It was nice meeting you tonight and I’ll be certainly stopping by again - Fries are a game changer to!!!”

“Riquísima la comida y los dueños súper amables, me fascinó”

“My favorite lunch spot in the city. No comparison! I dream about the lentil soup, IYKYK. Falafel is perfect, shawarma with the toum is outstanding. Bring cash, don’t expect a seat because it gets busy and enjoy! It doesn’t get better than this.”

“Places like these worth the visit in a winter night! Amazing service with free samples of chocolate and Ice cream, unique style and decoration and great Ice cream!”

“Great food and eclectic music. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town.”

“Definitely a staple when it comes to hot dogs and jumbo fried shrimp in the Bridgeport neighborhood... Stop there before a Sox game or for a good lunch... You won't regret it! Bring cash because, they only accept that. No debit or credit cards! 😎”

“I came all the way from Denver to visit and I really wanted to try this place and it did not disappoint delicious tortillas and Carnitas plenty of onion and cilantro and salsa. This place is a delicacy definitely needs more recognition.”

“Don't lose your investment in forex trade/bitcoin. Go with a proven legitimate trader that allows your unrestricted access to your account.

Invest with her today and enjoy a profitable trading experience. Now I am making profit of $5,500 weekly. Contact her through Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa”

“The deep dish was extremely good. The crust was a combination of tender, chewy and crunchy. The tomatoes were superbly seasoned, great cheese pull…friendly staff.”

“We went on a Saturday night around 930pm. Not many people in there yet but the crowd that was there was diverse. Different ages and walks of life. Bar tender was friendly enough and took care of business. Poured a stiff drink for a fair price. It is a legit authentic "dive bar" for starters. The real deal. No frills. Not some wanna be staged pretend dive bar with over priced drinks and pretention. It is old, dark and dirty. We wanted to love this place. We loved everything about it except for one thing...And it is a deal breaker for us. Um. The smell. It smells horrible!!! Like an old stale ashtray with a half put out cigarette still going in it and up in your face. It was really really bad. I don't know if someone was actually smoking in there while we were there, but there is definitely still smoking happening inside that place. It burned my eyes and my nostrils. Gave me a headache. Unfortunately, we were one and done (and had a pretty good buzz from our one drink I must say). But sorry, we can't do the cigarette smoke.”

“A great place to have a party, the ambience is great and I will be back here again next time, the drinks and food are delicious too!”

“Tacos con sazón muy buenos . Y servicio excelente. Precio justo .”

“You can't miss them, the tacos are delicious ? % recommended, their food is exquisite and everything is very fresh, you can't miss them, run ?‍♀️ for yours ?”

“very nice and clean, very fast packing order,only thing i dislike is the customer being very mean and nasty to the worker.”

“I love this restaurant!! Perfect place to go to sample many Polish favorites, or to have a group meal (shower, birthday party, family gathering etc.) in the semi-private back room. All the food is really fresh and well prepared, just like Grandma used to make at home. It Is a buffet, so there are many choices to please every taste level. Desserts are in small portions, which I find very thoughtful, so you can sample more than one item without over doing it. You can also prepare a to-go box of favorites to take home, for an additional 'per pound' charge. The wait staff is welcoming, kind and efficient as well. Adult beverages of cocktails, wine and beer are available, in addition to coffee, tea, milk, and sodas. I enjoy 6-7 visits per year, and am never disappointed.”

“Their food is very tasty. Their service is good and the people are friendly and helpful. The dining in area is rather small if you have a large group. Also, they are closed on the holidays, which I could understand, but I love their Pizza!”

“I've been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years absolutely the best humus I've have hands down love seeing the same people behind the counter”

“If I could I would give Ania and her team 10 stars. She made sure my son Alex and his wife Emily had a perfect wedding. Delicious desserts , fruits , beautiful presentation. Ania goes out of her way , making sure everything is perfect. She also helped us with a delicious food selection for a family luncheon day after the wedding. Thank you , thank you , dziękujemy pani Aniu .”

“Best place to purchase fresh fish. Oh, and don't let the crowd fool you those fishermen and cashier will get you out of there very, very quickly. I love shopping at Market Fisheries on 71st and State. Thanks Market Fisheries for serving me and my family. Thank You la”

“The food was amazing the staff were very friendly and over all it was a good experience.”

“The food, ambiance and customer service were absolutely amazing! Tracey, Manager provided top notch service to my family and I during our walkthrough and food tasting. OMG! The food was so delicious. Cannot wait to have our Birthday celebration at Rickette's”

“I had an amazing list lunch served by Stefan! My flight from ORD was delayed, so lunch at this Serb restaurant was fabulous on par with Skadarlija restaurants in BGD.”

“Great food and awesome service! Oysters were delicious.”

“Awesome service great food and I will travel back from Indiana to Chicago to eat at medley restaurant ANYTIME!”

“The purple smoothie was very yummy and the ladies who made my drink were so nice!”

“Nice service & good & face food”

“Great Food! Also, a very friendly staff.”

“From walking in the door, to sitting down ordering food the service was amazing. Our waiter was Danny and he was so sweet and helpful. He checked on us constantly throughout our visit. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was great!”

“Carlitos who greets everyone entering and exits the doors at the Fogo De Chao downtown Chicago, he is very professional and nice. I love the food and atmosphere.”

“This was my first time here celebrating my girlfriend birthday. Chris and David made it a great experience. Service was awesome and they made sure we had everything we needed from drinks,, appetizers, , entrees and dessert. The food was so good and it was a fun night . Definitely coming back.”

“Their Chicago deep dish was fabalicious !! Oh and their margaritas are awesome!”

“What a cool place! I loved all the different levels. I tried to do something on each level. It was packed with a lot of people so finding a seat was a little difficult but we managed. The rooftop deck is a nice vibe but small.”

“Good pizza that will take about 40 minutes or so to prepare for you. If you are in a hurry then order take out for pick up. We went at a time that didn't have a wait to get in but we're there for about 90 mins. But when in Chicago you have to try a deep dish”

“Outstanding restaurant! We are so glad we came by! The prices are very affordable, portions very large and as flavorful and authentic Italian you can get anywhere in Chicago. The restaurant was busy when we came for dinner service, but the food still came out quick (tapas style) and service was incredible. We recommend the Neopolitan pizza, Beef Short Rib, and the Shrimp Diavolo, and the Tiramisu (best I have ever had) Very impressed! We stopped by twice before leaving the city.”

“Food is excellent! Love the atmosphere. Cooks and staff are so friendly! 🙂”

“Trip from Waukesha to Chicago to celebrate our wedding anniversary, I was really impressed and satisfied with the Italian flavor of all the food, the chef was very friendly, helpful but above all dedicated to the attention of the diners, he was always attentive to every detail in our dishes, he came over several times to help us with the menu and giving recommendations according to our tastes, I was delighted with the treatment and service of the entire team in the restaurant, they made us feel like we were eating in a restaurant in Rome, everything was organized , clean, a pleasant and very calm atmosphere, I recommend it 100%, the olive oil cake is such an exquisite thing, the mortadella with pistachio is an Italian product, the flavor is somewhat indescribable, the cheeses are wow, I really loved it and we are sure to return, Thanks to the Chef and his team for the attention and service!”

“A great experience at Gibson's. I sat outside for lunch and enjoyed a hearty salad and drink. A nice scene with all their flowers and guests coming & going. Busy area and popular place! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great food ~ I'll be back! (2025) 🥗🍹”

“Everything about this place was great. My wife and I shared our meals and also ordered an extra 1/3 rack of ribs. Could not decide which was the best, it was all so good.”

“Exceptional bartenders while we waited for our table. EXCELLENT food,drinks and an amazing waiter named Jose that truly made our date night extra special with his exceptional attentiveness to a table of two!”

“Kevin was our waiter and he was the bomb. He hit all the points a server in the industry today should show. Answered all questions and very knowledgeable in the menu. Thanks for making it memorable”

“Food was good but even though I was a party of 1, they let people who signed up after me with a party of 2 and 3 go ahead of me, which I would have understood if they were giving me a smaller table. But they gave me the same size table as the ones they let go ahead of me but registered after I did. So there didn't seem to be any methodology on how they assigned tables. And I even said I didn't have a preference on inside or outside. Just first available knowing it's 48 degrees in November in Chicago.”

“went to pizzeria portofino tonight for the first time. didn't know we needed reservations but luckily we were able to get in pretty quick. tried the octopus, calamari and then 5 different pizzas. the Fresca, due funghi, fall squash and pancetta, the classic cheese and the special Brussel sprout pizza. awesome quick service, everything was delicious and had amazing flavor. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been. excited to come back again and try other pizzas and probably a pasta or two.”

“This place is LEGIT. Atmosphere, service, food. All excellent. Best way I can describe it, is that it just feels cool to be in there.

Menu has a wide array of options of which I chose quite the combination of things and they were all fantastic.

Next time you would like to feel like a big shot and enjoy an excellent meal, this is your spot. 5/5!”

“Let me say this restaurant is an absolute must try. I came in this morning for their falafel and hummus, they know how to do it right everytime. The girl at the front is always welcoming while the food is always freshly made. Also want to say they know how to keep up with cleanliness. They have a costumer for life!”

“My friends and I love this spot. We have gone multiple times and had a great experience every time. Recently I had an issue with a delivery order and the restaurant's manager Phil was SO accommodating and kind. 10/10 would recommend... great food and great service!”

“The new Bob-O's is excellent! Their Italian beef is still the best in the city. Their gravy and homemade hot giardiniera are both top in class, along with their fresh cut fries. Their hot dogs are the best, too! The best.”

“This place has the best meats. The place is very typical in its decoration, and the customer service is very good. Everything you eat here is original and the waters 💧 😉 are delicious.
I recommend it 100%”

“Excellent food and ambience! The love and care the chefs’ have for the food was apparent in every bite.

“I recently visited this new Sweetgreen location, and I have to say that I was highly satisfied. My food was delicious, fresh, and came out within one minute after ordering. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I will definitely be returning.”

“I recently discovered Colectivo Ravenswood, and I couldn’t be happier that they’ve opened a branch so close to my home. From the moment I stepped inside, I was thoroughly impressed. The shop boasts two floors with plenty of cozy seating areas, spotless restrooms, and an inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The staff delivers excellent service, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. I’ve already visited twice, and each time the place has been buzzing with customers—a testament to its popularity. The coffee is exceptional, and the overall experience makes me thrilled to have this gem in my neighborhood. Thank you for bringing such a wonderful coffee shop to our community!”

“Great to have a Small Cheval in the neighborhood. The staff are friendly and pleasant. Food is made to order and put together with care. It'll be nice when their liquor license is finally approved so they can serve their boozy shakes. Regular shakes are available and delicious.”
