I have dined here several times and love it!! The service is always extraordinary with kind and attentive waitstaff.
The food is always incredible; their appetizers, pasta and pizza are all delicious.
I would highly recommend stopping in for a meal!

This was a fantastic find on my trip visiting from California. Their pizza is the traditional Naples-style with soft crust. Excellent food and terrific service from Ricardo.
I ate the Amalfi Pizza, and the bruschetta di Burrata.
While I visiting Chicago, I also ate some deep dish at a couple of the popular pizza places, and I can say this pizza is much better.
A fun activity would be riding bikes from North Chicago along the river and stopping at this place for lunch.

Perfect place to enjoy authentic Neapolitan pizza! The quality of the pizza is in line with the best Italian restaurants in Chicago. However, it’s disappointing that they do not offer a Gluten free pizza option.

This place floored me with surprise. Yes I know that it is Michellin Bib Gourmand but the quality of the food is top notched and the portion is HUGE. When I got my pasta, I told my friend how can we finish them? However, it was so good that we wiped both pasta dishes out! Each dish has unique flavor. The seafood is so fresh. I never tasted mussels like this before: it is not rubberish at all. You can even taste the pleasant flavor of saltwater but without salt. This is definitely the place I will visit again when I come to Chicago.

Excellent pizza, pasta and dessert! The only shock is $8.00 scoop of ice cream was not worth it. It was worth maybe $4.00 at most. Otherwise the food overall was so good I don’t want to ding them too hard on that!

We LOVE Nella’s! It is my comfort place. I go for the gnocchi and a Bellini (or 2 🙃) - my daughter loves that she can get a pizza that looks like Mickey Mouse, a fish, or a rabbit! My 3 year old son is obsessed with the calamari and my husband loves to try new things every time we go 🙂

I don’t know if I came on an off day, but I just expected more coming here after learning this was a bib gourmand. Service was mediocre and the pizza was good, but it wasn’t amazing in my opinion. I’ll definitely come again in the future if I’m in the area.

Order the Vesuvio “stuffed” pizza. It was delicious. The calamari was also a hit. I ordered it twice. The lamb pasta didn’t look like much when it arrive but the taste was good so that’s most important. We went on a weekday evening and it was busy. We had long wait times. The staff were overall friendly but I believe the service would have been better if staffing was increased. Our final bill was $120… not cheap. I’ll be back one day but I’ll share an entree and skip the second serving of calamari.

Wow. My wife picked this place for its reviews and ratings and they were everything they were raved about. I for got a pic for the calamari and shrimp appetizer and it was perfect. They served olive oil, cheese and bread with our generous drinks, very nice. We shared a risotto dish that we’ve never tried before and couldn’t have prepared for how unique and delicious it was. Add to that a capocollo, artichoke, black olives and cheese flat bread that was outstanding. I also tried the Amaro Montenegro after dinner digestive and now have another mix I need to add to our home liquor selection. All in all, a fine Italian pizzeria to add to our list of great places to eat.

Walked in alone today, so got a table at the bar. Very friendly staff. All of them had a little chat. Finally this resulted even in an espresso on the house. Will definitely return.

Came with my family on a whim and it was a lovely spot for a late lunch/early dinner - Nicolas was excellent! We got several kinds of pizzas, fantastic margaritas, and the best 5-cheese risotto! Highly recommend.
Louis Santini
Simply the best authentic Neapolitan pizza in Chicago! The head pizza chef is 3rd generation pizza in his family…how cool! Amazing service and experience. Don’t miss out on this gem!

This pizza sells itself! 🍕
I like to try different kinds of pizzas when I’m traveling around. And I tried this place my first night in Chicago, and loved it so much!
I can describe it as the most authentic margarita pizza I’ve tried. It is cooked in firewood and it’s soooooo cheesy.
I highly recommend it. Enjoy! ✨
Nik Alex
It is a really good Italian place. A tiny bit too salty for my taste and could have been more food for the price. But I enjoyed it overall.
Carolyn VanderMolen
Nella Pizza e Pasta has been a Chicago staple for me since they were in Lincoln Park. Their food is top quality and rivals any sort of Neapolitan pizza you can get in Italy. The Diavola is a favorite! I always feel welcome in the restaurant and the staff is so friendly. Could not recommend it more!
Sarah Allen
We came here after going to the Pompei exhibit at the museum of science and industry and LOVED our service, meal and ambiance. We got the focaccia and meatballs as an appetizer. The meatballs were some of the best I’ve ever had. Then we got a margarita pizza and chocolate mouse dessert. Reasonably priced and DELICIOUS!
Will Yang
Tasty foods at reasonable price. Pizza is exceptional while I don’t like their cocktail.
Michelle Clark
I would give 10 stars if possible. Food was incredible, fresh and delicious. We went for an early dinner. They made a pizza in the shape of a bunny for the 2yr old😁. We had starters of the crabcake and calamari that were so good we wanted to order more but waited until our main dishes. The black truffle ravioli was OMG scrumptious, as well as the black truffle pate pizza and pasta arrabiatta. Will definitely return. It’s a great lunch, dinner and date place. Family friendly.
Jennie Crosby
Went on opening day for lunch after a big exam! Wonderful service, we had Ricardo as our waiter and he was excellent. All the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The food was fantastic! I had a pizza that Ricardo recommended and it was delicious! Glad to have Nella on campus!
Giovanni Soluri
Nellas culinary skills and talent cannot be replicated, only imitated. She truly is a pioneer; a humble, modest woman who is passionate about the food she serves and the people she serves. This place will impress you on so many different levels.

Aaron Turkewitz
What pizza is meant to be! The crust is perfect and the toppings have wonderful pure flavors
Thelma Tennant
We enjoyed an absolutely fantastic brunch at Nella this Friday. The food was delicious, the ambiance bright and lovely, and the service was excellent. It's splendid to have such a great restaurant in our neighborhood!
Kathi Gerling Quattrocchi
I love Nella. The pizzas are amazing but my favorite is when the Gamberi Diavolo is the special. Nice selection of wines and I love the iced tea.
Stephen Ray
Waiter forgot to put my order in and by the time it came Susan was done with hers. I hate when you go someplace to have a nie experience and you regret walking through the door.
HR Binwalee
Fantastic food and friendly service! Had the Costolette di AgNello: Grilled Australian French-Cut Lamb Chops for dinner and the Caprese for Dessert.

The service was great, the food was great and my family and I will be going back again. I have to, my daughter said this is where she wants her birthday dinner to be.
Giovanni Discepolo
Vera pizza napoletana con prodotti di eccellenza
I vini so buoni ma in pó cari
La pasta è tra le migliori
Sarah McGinn
Delicious pizza as it's meant to be - thin and chewy crust, delicious fresh flavors. Service was awesome despite the fact it was only their second day open. My new favorite Italian in Chicago.
Veronica Lopez
Great pasta and great pizza! Excellent service!! Everything was fresh!!
Will Louis
Great Italian authentic cuisine and the waitstaff was super nice. We had a great experience.
Jose Jaime
No longer need to go to Spacca Napoli. No need to fight for parking up on the north side. Can walk to enjoy a real Italian style pizza.
