Just returning from ten years in Houston and happy to see Cafe Bionda made it through the pandemic. 🎊 My friend and I would eat there often and decided to visit yesterday. Food did not disappoint! My first grilled calamari was here ages ago and even though the recipe changed, the tenderness is the s
Delicious authentic Italian spot in the south loop! Our ravioli was made in house and so good. The drinks were great and the private small dining area was so cute, located behind a wine rack. Love the idea! Overall great experience. Oh and the dessert?!!! Every single one was fantastic but you must
Came here for date night and my date was hesitant since he hadn’t been here in a few years. He knew they had changed management and a few things on the menu. His biggest worry was whether it would still be as amazing as it was before. Andrey (the manager) touched our table and was extremely kind, ho
Great service. Delicious food. Do NOT pass on the pasta with vodka sauce.
Great for dates or events.
Highly recommend.
My fiance and I love this place!! We invited my family to celebrate my son's birthday here recently. The staff is always great. They're very attentive and pleasant to have a conversation with. My BIL enjoyed the food and promised to return.
Delicious dishes. See pictures!
Parking is free in the back lot. There's a back entrance as well. Very convenient. Otherwise, there is metered street parking too.
Their cozy atmosphere and top-notch service create the perfect ambiance for a memorable dining experience. Don't miss out on this local favorite!
Things I had at Cafe Bionda:
1. Bionda Salad
2. Rigatoni alla Vodka
3. Specialty cocktails, including Strawberry Jasmine

Great food...
The Chef is a Rock star...
Great food
Lovely neighborhood spot where the portions are large, the service is friendly and everyone seems to know everyone!
This place is awesome! It's the best food that I've eaten in South Loop ... and just in a while, to be honest. I heard that they had a new grilled octopus item on the menu. Apparently, it wasn't actually on the menu, yet. But, they served it up anyway and it was spectacular. The chef walked out
Fantastic find! If you are looking for a Italian Restaurant and in South Loop- Cafe Bionda is a fantastic find! The staff was wonderful and their Happy Hour food delicious!
✨Calamari was fried to perfection - crunchy and not oily at all. You can’t go wrong with it!
🍕 Bionda Pizza Margherita was on
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Cafe Bionda Italian Restaurant on a busy Sunday afternoon during a Bears game, and I must say, the experience exceeded all expectations. If you're in search of an authentic Italian dining experience that can handle a full house, this is the place to be.

Warm Welcome by the bar's staff. Fast service. My grilled Octopus was just perfect however the margarita pizza was a little salty... tasted good but little salty for me.
Great recently reopened Italian restaurant hiding near the convention center! We were a bit late for dinner but the staff were really accommodating and gave us food without rushing us out of the restaurant, and the portions were huge! Classic Italian cuisine and refreshing beverages with a nice ba
Fantastic find!! Perfect ambiance, stellar service and the absolute best calamari and tiramisu we have ever had. Dianna and Angela were beyond perfect too. I ate salads in between the decadence but everyone loved the dishes they ordered. See you next time I am up from Florida!!

The biaonda salad was delicious, perfect really. The New York strip was just okay I had better steak. The grilled calamari was soft and tender, decent I would order
