Wonderful Italian staples! Our favorite place. Thanks to Gian Carlo and team for another great evening.

Wonderful environment, excellent food, felt like a family member when welcomed by Guido and his wonderful staff. Definitely coming back!
Michael
Best Veal Limone in the city, great pasta with pretty good fish and they have Gavi by the glass!
Brian
Everything looked so promising at this out of the way scene from a Scorcese movie, but the seriously overcooked pastas and sugary tomato sauce that tasted more like ketchup was a big let down. Just have a drink and an appetizer.

I went back after several years. I loved the ambiance, the service and my chicken marsala. It is a classic restaurant since 1952 that should not be missed.

It's a classic! Great ambiance and service. Sit at the bar, a booth, or table in the back (and outdoors if it's that time of year). Cocktails are made how they were intended - gin martini with olive served in the perfectly sized glass.
We usually love Club Lago, but it was really off tonight. Our server took a long time to greet us even though they were not crowded. We had to tell her we wanted to order a drink. We ordered a salad to start. She did what we really hate in a restaurant.... She brought out entrees when we were still eating our salads. We said we weren't done with our salad, and she just pushed things aside to put our entrees down. She never cleared the salad plates. We had to ask someone to take them away. She asked if I wanted another glass of wine when I was done with my entree. They were out of veal, so I ordered a chicken dish. She charged for the veal. It was changed when I told the owner. We'll just chalk it up to a bad night and assume it will be better next time

Quintessential Chicago food, family, and hospitality! This place has been around for a long time and they have managed to perfect so many classic Italian dishes. Everything we ordered had a depth of flavor to it that you just can't find anywhere, to include the crispiest crusting on their veal parmigiana I've ever had the pleasure to eat. It's a real trick to maintain that crunch under sauce and cheese, but they do it right! It's an old school place that has managed to maintain the perfect formula of great food, an engaging staff, and homemade comfort!
