The experience was great food was delicious and very fresh authentic Italian food .

We highly recommend this place and will keep going there .
We are glad we found this hidden gem �.
May be not a hidden gem , A gem that we didn't discover before .
Thanks Bongiorno's
A little bit difficult to find with the construction, but we'll worth the effort!!! Great pizza and even better service!
We absolutely love this place! Great food, great prices, and great service! The owner is absolutely fabulous and even comes around to make sure that you are enjoying your food. Highly recommended!
It was delicious and friendly service, it was our last stop in Chicago before heading back home yesterday to Blue Springs Mo, we ordered a veggie pizza with pepperoni and sausage, perfect crust and ravioli with ricotta cheese, really good, we enjoyed eating it outside on a beautiful day
One of a kind hidden gem right in the heart of the city! the service here is absolutely fantastic. Our food was prepared with genuine love you could tell by the way it tasted and how it was presented. The Caprese salad was so good. My son said the Italian beef was the best Italian beef sandwich he’s ever had this will be on our top list every time we go into the city.

We had a craving for some Neopolitan pizza and found this place which was walking distance from our daughter’s apartment so we tried it. The first thing I noticed was the people who run this restaurant are very friendly and welcoming.
There were three of us, we arrived around 7:30pm and the place was packed. There were a lot of people waiting for a table. I added my name to the waiting list and there were 5 parties before us. This is a small restaurant with around 12 tables. We got our table around 8:00pm and ordered the Saporita salad and some peroni’s to start. The salad was delicious. We ordered a Rustica pizza and a Calabrese pizza and the guy waiting on us said that two smaller pizzas would be enough but we ordered the larger size. He was correct, we finished the Rustica but could only eat half of the Calabrese, so we took the rest home. All of us really liked the Rustica and the Calabrese was good but was really salty so when we go back again, we will not order a Calabrese. We also ordered a tiramisu to go.
This place was in very close walking distance from our hotel. Food was very good and generously portioned. The arugula salad was perfectly dressed and was covered with lots of cheese. Pizza was great - lots of mushrooms and prosciutto on top of a nicely charred crust. Don’t skip the gelato. They are one of a handful places serving Ichnusa beer. Ichnusa is imported from Sardinia and pairs well with the pizza.
Small, relaxed spot that we visited while on a walking food tour in Chicago. While I didn't adore my roast beef sandwich, I appreciated the quality of the meat and bread. Gelato looked super tasty as well.
Great food, great service, and atmosphere were very nice. They were so busy that some guests had to be turned away. We ordered the 1/2 sausage pizza and half Stella that comes with arugula. Magnificent! Our waiter was great!
Absolutely delicious would recommend us to any pizza lover it’s not your typical Chicago deep dish. It’s more of an Italian style in New York style crossover. Owners were super friendly, came over to our table to share their experiences.
Cozy place to eat original italian food and the service is great! Pasta had way to much sauce in it but the taste was good!
Our first taste of Chicago - and delicious. Small place with big heart. Not pretentious but offering delicious food. Recommend white pizza with mushrooms and daily special salmon in zucchini. Cold 312 wheat ale goes well with a meal.
I've made up my mind ill never try any other pizza spots in chicago for as long as I live here, after what I had tonight. Margerhita then I got a personal cheese pizza to go. $20 for the 14" you literally can't beat that price. I know where I'm having my lunch tomorrow too! This is a hidden gem. My daughter loved the garlic bread. Everything was good. After my pregnancy I am definitely trying their wine & Gelato!
We stopped in for dinner after reading others’ reviews. At 5:30 on a Wednesday it was empty. Odd, but we took a chance. SO GLAD WE DID. Staff was welcoming and the food was so delicious and insanely well priced! My boyfriend said his lasagna was the best he’s ever had. I tried a special (grilled zucchini and salmon) and the food was as good as the presentation.
Next door was packed and we almost laughed thinking “y’all are missing out!!!”
Don’t try to find it via GPS. Just head between Trump tower and the Wrigley Building (first floor under Athletico).
Don’t miss this hidden gem!
Had a wonderful gelato and took my pizza to go, the picture doesn't do it any justice at all because I accidentally held it sideways when I was walking and the cheese slide around, but it tasted amazing just the same!
Fabulous family owned Italian restaurant! Small intimate setting with huge flavor! Pizza is outstanding, sandwiches on fresh italian breads direct from Italy. Priced extremely well for a downtown Chicago restaurant! We will absolutely be back.
A great genuine Italian place with delicious pizza and warm Italian hospitality.
It seems to be a local “hole in the wall” kinda place that tourists will sadly not find.
Highly recommended😋
Location: River Plaza (above street level)
Very solid italian meals. Tiramisu and Capuccino were very good. Service was really nice and attentive. Waiting time was short. Can recommend.
Best PIZZA in Chicago. This place is a gem, and is the only pizza place our kids want to go to when we are in town. Nothing compares to how good it is, sitting on the patio and enjoying an Aperol Spritz and pizza. Don’t leave without getting their gelato. Owners recipe from Italy!! Our kids say it’s the best pizza in Chicago.
Took forever to get seated but there was a large party there and the place is pretty small (without outside seating). The service wasn't amazing, but the ladies working were SO NICE, it made up for it. They also mentioned that they were short-staffed that night so I'm sure that didn't help. Although they were very busy, it looked like the kitchen guys enjoyed their jobs and weren't miserable. Not sure what's up with the bread. It's just dry and would have rather had it not baked. Other than that the pasta and pizza was amazing!
Simply phenomenal. The service was good, but the food was simply sublime. I cannot put into words how good it was other than pure ecstasy. The salad was the perfect blend of mozzarella, tomato, salad, and olive oil that formed a union of flavors for a salad unlike no other. The salad was one of the simplest but best I've had in a while. Now the main course was just beyond what I expected. The perfect blend of soft pasta layers, sticky and savory meats coupled with crimson scrumptious red sauce and topped with fantastic melted cheese bring you straight to flavor town. The tastes, textures, and smells all combine to make the best Italian food I have ever eaten and the best dining experience in a few years. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting Italian. And for their low price tag, it's criminal how underrated the restaurant is. Delicious!
The food was spectacular along with the service and staff. Everything was efficient and just Delicious!!!! Highly recommended for everyone. Great location will definitely dine again!!! Keep up the amazing work. Superior service!!!!
I wanted authentic pizza and searched reviews. Since, I was nearby at Jazz Fest. Took the 4 block hike and was glad I did. I ordered the 10 inch and ate it all. The tastiest cracker crust, sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. This establishment has the best pizza. I ordered take out. The place was packed and it was Labor Day Weekend. If you like or love pizza. You have to go to this restaurant.
