It is such a cozy and welcoming spot for authentic Italian food in downtown Chicago. I had the lasagna — so delicious yet light — and the eggplant rolls were incredible, truly homemade and full of flavor. The homemade gelato was the perfect finish.

The pizza was so good that even though I don’t usually eat pizza, we ordered it again That says everything. Add in warm, friendly service and a charming atmosphere, and this place really feels special.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great Italian restaurant in Chicago — I’ll definitely be back!

I don’t often write reviews, but wow, I feel like I have no choice. I’ll be brief, but the service was excellent, food and drinks came out quick and were AMAZING, and everything was fairly priced. The complete package. Gio was a phenomenal server, and an even better bartender. I’ve had espresso martinis in most major cities in the US—and Chicago is no exception. I prefer them to be served light, but dark is fine too, if that’s how the bartender prefers to serve it. But wow. Gio’s dark espresso martini was BY FAR the best espresso martini I’ve ever had. And it was DARK.

I’m not even going to talk about the pizza, because it speaks for itself—just look at the pictures. Fresh mozzarella and fresh basil, perfectly cooked. This place puts Giordano’s and Uno’s to shame.

A restaurant that checks the boxes for service, price, and taste doesn’t come around very often, but Bongiorno’s absolutely hits the mark. Special shoutout to Gio—I’m still dreaming about that espresso martini…

Cozy atmosphere with delicious food. The staff was all very friendly. We tried the cheesy garlic bread, a Caesar salad, and a 10 inch pepperoni. Everything was fresh and yummy. We also tried the cannoli, while it was good and had interesting flavor, it was not what I had in mind when ordering. I would probably go for some of the gelato I saw next time for a sweet treat.

Death row!! Thats what im gonna call their bruschetta!!! OMG incredible! Came on warm bread with ice cold tomatoes. The fresh balsamic vinegrette was unreal. It was some how creamy yet full of flavor! If I was on death row and this was my last meal this bruschetta would be it! Also had a personal pan pizza and their chicken parmasean which was also great! Would recommend!

If you’re looking for real-deal Italian flavor in every bite, Bongiorno’s Cucina is the spot. I’ve eaten here plenty of times, and every single visit reminds me why it’s one of the best pizzerias around.

I had the sausage pizza and the chicken Caesar today, and both were on point.
The pizza has that perfect balance — a light, crispy crust with just enough chew, rich tomato sauce, bubbling melted cheese, and sausage that actually tastes fresh and homemade. No shortcuts here. Every bite has that classic New York–style snap and char that keeps you coming back.

The chicken Caesar is another standout. The chicken is breaded and seasoned perfectly, sliced thick, and still juicy. Paired with crisp romaine, creamy dressing, and just the right amount of Parmesan, it turns a simple salad into something memorable.

Great food, great people, consistent quality — Bongiorno’s is the kind of neighborhood Italian spot you can recommend to anybody with confidence. Definitely worth the visit.

The food and service here is always wonderful! The Chicken Parmesan was amazing and the Tiramisu was some of the best I have had (and I am very picky about Tiramisu). The food here is cooked perfectly and the sauce is amazing. The service is also good.
I usually come in the warm weather and sit outside but this time it was too cold. The location is great if you are near this area. It’s like a hidden gem
Sorry my video only shows half the food- I forgot and ate it too fast! The presentation is better than my photo and video show but all I can think about is digging in to eat when it hits my table I always forget to get a good photo!

Everything about this restaurant was perfect. The pizza was incredible- flavorful with a delicious crust. The cannolis were rich and sweet. The service was fantastic, quick and attentive and kind. We highly recommend this place.

We stopped at Bongiorno Cucina Italiana & Pizzeria for lunch after the River Architectural Cruise and a visit to Millennium Park, and it was a great choice!

We ordered the Italian beef sandwich, which was delicious (cheese and giardiniera are an extra $1 each), and a 10″ Americana pizza, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. For dessert, we enjoyed a gelato and sorbetto, both refreshing and delicious.

The restaurant itself was a little hard to find, tucked behind the Trump Hotel, but it was worth the effort. The wait staff were friendly and welcoming, which added to the experience.

Overall, this was a 5-star experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellent food, great service, and a cozy spot that’s worth seeking out.

Loved it! I always look for non-chain great places to eat when visiting a city. This place didn’t disappoint. I had a fabulous Soprasita salad and small special pizza. It was fab!

Food was great. Great pizza crust! We had the Windy City special (beef and giardiniera). Daughter had the pasta and it was very good. Great table service. Great staff. Too bad it started raining and patio was closed but in the end worth it!
