Great place to celebrate ! Went to celebrate my husband's birthday. The serve(Antonio) was great , very friendly, accommodating and overall good service. The prices were good , flavor is there , the restaurant atmosphere gave me modern vibes with good upbeat lounge music. The menu has your standard options.i picked the lemon chicken which was delicious. The server came out with tiramisu and lemoncello ;without us asking for it I guess he overheard our conversation that we were there to celebrate a birthday, this was an excellent observation made by him,which I thanked very much. Kuddos to my paisano Antonio.

Saba was able to accommodate our Galentine’s Brunch group of 10 at the very last minute. The entire team were so friendly, flexible, professional and patient! They didn’t mind that we brought our own deco for the table. The brunch menu has a wide variety. The chicken and waffles are delicious, and the Bloody Mary’s are perfect! This was the first time I had been there, but others in our group had been there for dinner before- we all had a great time and were really, REALLY happy with Saba!

I've been going to Saba for over a year now and decided to celebrate my birthday dinner there last night. It did not disappoint! The lemon drop martinis are my go to, and it's fantastic with the mussels appetizer. The staff was attentive and personable, they made me feel so special! Excited to return!

I came for restaurant week and was so surprised with what a good deal it is and the sizes of what we got. I got bruschetta, Cesar salad, basilico pasta, and a cannoli. Everything was so good but the pasta was seriously amazing and a huge portion. The inside had so many windows I would love to come in summer. Can't wait to visit again!!

[Saba Italian Kitchen & Bar] Chicago Restaurant Week Edition / Italian restaurant located in the Logan Square area Taking a pause from the regular schedule of content, since Restaurant Week just recently happened, this is first priority to post these reviews We made a reservation for 8:45 PM on the first day of RW and did not get seated until 10:30. The host, manager, and owner of the restaurant were super nice. They gave us complimentary champagne for our wait. We did not get the first course of our food until 11 PM and got our last course around 12:30 AM, which we ultimately told them to box for to-go. The restaurant was super apologetic about the wait times. This was completely understandable as others also had to wait and it was also the first day of RW. For our wait, our table did get another round of limoncello shots on the house and the manager gave us a 20% discount on the bill. Amazing management. Now onto the food. 1. Seafood Linguini 2. Penne Vodka 3. Champagne 4. Short Rib 5. Pan Seared Salmon 6. Fried Calamari 7. Burrata 8. Shots 9. Minestrone Soup 10. Saba Cannoli Overall, I think the food was good. They were large portions of food and had a good amount of seafood, which I was impressed with since most places will skimp you out on it. My favorites are the Seafood Linguini and the Short Rib. The only critiques I have of the food were that I wish the courses came out in a certain order rather than having the Minestrone / Salads come out last and I wish the soup was warm. Ours was cold. Did not end up getting to try the tiramisu since we boxed it up and I forgot about it until too late. Other than that, I think the RW was worth the price point in terms of food value. The ambiance and vibes were good. The hospitality was top notch with the managers attempting to correct the wait times. Overall, due to the circumstances of wait time, I would have to give this place 7.5-8/10. This place is deserving of a 10 if the long wait time was not an issue. I hope to try this place again under better circumstances. 2715 N Milwaukee Ave Chicago, IL 60647

This place was just alright. I was excited to visit for the last day of restaurant week and I was disappointed. Me and my date ordered the short rib and penne vodka for our entrees. The penne was not what we expected, we ended up having to share the short rib to get full. Our waitress barely checked on us and never told us her name. I wouldn't go back.
Went here for Chicago restaurant week - nice staff, great food, and smooth wine. They gave us a few 15% discount cards for the next time we come back. I would recommend the short rib, seafood pasta, & salmon.

We made a reservation ahead of time and were seated without a wait on a Friday night. The restaurant has nice ambiance with warm, low lighting with bar and dining seating available. We went during happy hour so cocktails were only $6! We came here for their restaurant week $42 dinner, which included appetizer, soup/salad, entree, and dessert. Things started off rough with the appetizers. I ordered the burrata and my friend ordered the calamari. The burrata was good, but the calamari was a undercooked and the breading was falling off the calamari. For second, I chose the kale salad, which was absolutely delightful. The butternut squash and pomegranates went very well with the bitter citrus vinaigrette! I highly recommend this salad. My friend ordered the Caesar and greatly enjoyed their dressing made in-house. I chose the linguini basilico with prosciutto for an additional $10. This is the saddest cheese wheel pasta I've had. I don't think the pasta was warm enough to melt the cheese wheel. The pasta was overall very dry and was barely covered in any cheese. For most bites, it was flavorless.They were quite generous with the amount of prosciutto given, but even that could not make up for the horrible "cheese wheel" pasta. I was sad I had paid $10 more for this dish. The serving sizes are generous, especially for a restaurant week meal. I will note that despite the quality of the food, the service was great. There was a friendly staff that came to our table after each dish was served and asked for feedback. Once we told him about our undercooked calamari and dry pasta, he spoke to the kitchen and brought out the properly cooked dishes. However, the lack of quality control is greatly disappointing. For a nice restaurant like this, I would hope that they check to make sure the food is properly cooked before sending it out without having the customer telling them it's undercooked. Given my experience, I don't think that I would return to Saba.

Setting: Saturday brunch (party of 8 with reservations) Ambiance: Cozy neighborhood brunch spot. Family friendly ambience and set up. Food: Most of our party tried the restaurant week menu. All the dishes were delicious and very well prepared. The Arancini Benedict was unique and I really enjoyed the Italian influence in the dish. The tiramisu (not pictured) was mediocre. Service: Friendly. Accommodating. Attentive.

this is a pretty decent italian restaurant with great service & ambiance. my friend & i went for the dinner menu during restaurant week & i had fried calamari, caesar salad, seafood linguini & tiramisu. my favorites were the seafood linguini & the calamari - lol i'm a seafood girlie. the seafood linguini had decent pieces of shrimp, calamari, scallops, mussels & clams in it. i asked them to make it spicy & i could taste a hint of spice in it - loved it! i also loved the calamari - it tasted fresh & lightly seasoned. the caesar salad was decent, pretty basic though. i'm not the biggest fan of tiramisu - but my friend really enjoyed hers. my friend ordered the bruschetta romana, minestrone soup, linguini basilico with prosciutto & tiramisu & she loved everything!
