Victory Italian

The service as good and the dishes are huge. If you order the chicken there is so much food you can eat for a day. I recommend the meatballs and the pizza is cooked very well too. Nice atmosphere in here.

Offers outdoor seating to safely social distance. We got the Fried Calamari for an appetizer. They were decently sized and delicious. Waitress recommended a great white wine that paired well with the food. My party loved their entrees. My only complaint is that the lasagna was a little bit salty. Overall great experience!

The perfect restaurant in River North. Finally a restaurant in River North that feels like a neighborhood restaurant! They are hard to fine and this place is it. The portions are enormous so don’t think the prices are like every other restaurant around. Two entrees for two people is plenty of food! The service is fantastic as well. Always a bonus when the manager comes around and asks how the meal is. We will definitely be coming back!

We were impressed with the food - especially for the price. Portions were large but the quality didn't suffer. The mussels starter would feed two no problem - those things were huge! Service was so-so but nothing too bad. Recommended if you're in Oakpark!

I have been wanting to try this place for a while now, as I saw it on someone’s TikTok post & they raved about how delicious the food was, & it looked AMAZINGGGG! I even shared the TikTok with my mom & told her we needed to go together. First off, me & a friend of mine came really close to closing time so the restaurant was practically empty aside from one other party of 2. When I walked in, I wasn’t really sure if it was a place you had to seat yourself because there was no host at the door (assuming due to preparation for closing the restaurant). I, however, didn’t have to wait too long to be greeted. I was informed that the kitchen would be closing in about 20 minutes so to make sure to get our orders in beforehand. No biggie, the girl was really kind & still felt pretty welcoming. We got seated fairly quickly as well, which was nice & helped us allot our order time. Our waiter Katie (I believe she is the manager but I’m not positive) & Ramona (she’s server in training) were really kind & super accommodating. I love that you can do a “build your own pasta” thing, but I REALLY wish it was displayed on the menu somewhere because it would have saved me some time figuring out what I wanted. Now, about the food. The complementary bread that they apparently serve each guest, was cold when we got it & I think it’s supposed to be served warm. It also was a bit on the “chewy” side. For my appetizer, I ordered the shrimp dejonghe. It wasn’t bad, it was nice & hot. It just had no breadcrumbs which is what I’m used to, & they drowned it in garlic butter. Like it was literally served in a bath of it. It probably could have used a lil less. The bread that came with it tasted a bit stale. For my entree, I did a gnocchi with Alfredo sauce, mushrooms, & grilled chicken breast. That also came out nice fresh & hot. However, something was missing from the flavor. I’m not sure what it is but it was pretty bland & didn’t seem to have much flavor even after I added some crushed red pepper flakes & I literally have never done that before in my life & I am an Alfredo fanatic so that’s saying a lot. Overall, I would absolutely give them another try one day & maybe I would just stick to what’s on the menu instead of trying to be creative. I didn’t even see an Alfredo option on the menu, so yea I won’t do that again lol.
