Il Culaccino - Chicago Italian Restaurant

La Comida de muy buena calidad..... un menu limitando pero apropiado. Buena relación precio/calidad.Personal bilingüe

Had a 4 pm reservation and the restaurant wasn't busy, but our experience was disappointing. The bread basket was dirty, and two of our four bread plates weren't clean. We sat for over 20 minutes with no greeting or service while another table seated after us was helped right away. We eventually left. Staff were friendly as we walked out, but no one asked why a table that they just sad 20 minutes ago was leaving.

Not enough light at the table to read the menu, so had to use our mobile torches. Waiter brought the mains to our table when one of us was still eating his starter. One of us ordered a dessert, and the waiter then left without waiting for the orders for dessert from the other 2 people on the table. He then explained it was a very large dessert (chocolate cake) which he was correct but could have explained it first before walking off. However, the food was otherwise good.

Our first visit - great service and great food. One major drawback, however -- for as nice a restaurant as this is, there is no excuse for the size or lack of cleanliness of the women's bathroom. Really disappointing. You can't even fit two women in there who need to wait for one of the 2 stalls -- honestly, for a restaurant this size (especially with the big party room), you need to do better. Pronto.

Ernesto served us. He was attentive but not pesky. Our food was delish. We would dine here again.

Pasta was cold and sauce was very watery but the flavor was good and the service was great.

One of my favorite restaurants great food friendly staff and always great service! Also love the atmosphere!

Ate here for a pre-marathon dinner. Was absolutely perfect for what we were looking for. The patio was completely covered and very comfortable.

Our experience today was terrible. If I had not been here before, and had great experiences, I would not go back. While I can accept that the patio was closed, an Italian Restaurant with no bread???? The explanation that bread is not available at lunch is unacceptable. I've been there for lunch at least twice, and bread was available. I rated the service Outstanding, because it was only one server for the entire dining room. While she should have been frazzled, she handled the overflowing crowd with grace and a constant smile. My guests were from out of town, and I was embarrassed to have taken them there to lunch.

Service was the slowest I have experienced in my life and it was no fault of our server who had way too many tables to wait on. We bussed our own appetizer dishes to the kitchen so they apparently had only one busboy for the whole restaurant. We believe a person who may have been the Mgr may have been hanging out in the back kitchen trying to help but he probably would have been more effective helping wait on tables and clearing dishes. We just had appetizers and didn't feel like waiting another hour for our food to come. We ended up getting pizza for dinner. I am guessing the entrees are good because the appetizers were delicious but after being there for one whole hour that's all that we ate so we split. We noticed that they brought us our bill quickly when we asked and wonder if some other people got up and left too due to such slow service. We also noticed that while waiting 10 min for our Uber we could see our table wasn't even cleaned off in that time frame. Made the place look kind of junky. I normally don't write negative reviews but how is a place suppose to improve if we don't let them know where they need to improve. Thanks

Great food, great service, will certainly be back. Sitting on the patio on a nice night in the summer was excellent!

Even though the place was packed, the service and the food quality was truly top notch as it always is!!

Amazing food paired with great service. The grilled calamari salad was succulent!

Lots of out of towners attending concert or convention, but the food is good enough for locals to keep coming back. Portions are huge! Gnocchi was outstanding, highly recommend. Service was friendly and prompt.

I ordered from Il Culaccino from Door Dash. We ordered an Eggplant Parmigiana, Penne Buttera and a slice of Cannoli Cake. Everything was really good. The Eggplant was huge and I could only eat half of it, so I had the rest the day after. The Cannoli cake was delicious! I’d order from here again or maybe I’ll try dining in the restaurant. I highly recommend ordered via DoorDash.
