Chefs request. This Griglia Misto was super delicious. I met the head Chef Rafael today; he was super friendly and kind. He asked me what I liked to eat and I said I was there for the happy hour. The fact that he took his time to meet me was priceless. I’m a people’s person. I love shaking hands. We need more Chef’s like him. I love Victory Tap because their hospitality is above and beyond. I always sit at the bar. Yaya, Adam are the best bartenders I have in the Southloop. Super attentive and friendly, and Eric the bar back is always making me laugh. I hope this staff never changes. I love them all and give them credit for being in this industry. I came from bartending/serving in restaurant and hotels years back and it’s hard work. Thank you guys!

This was an exceptional experience. My daughters and I were in town for the weekend. We stopped in for an early dinner on Saturday. The food and service were exceptional. Our waiter Danny made our evening. Turns out Daniel is the owner. He treated us to lemon cello and an out of this world tiramisu. Always with his entertaining ease. If you’re in the south loop, this is a must stop!

This Italian spot is absolutely amazing. The food was high-quality and hit my taste buds perfectly. Started with a Caesar salad and the shrimp appetizer which was to die for. Then move onto chicken Parmesan with a side of rigatoni à la Vodka sauce and crumbled sausage on top. My waiter Cesar was absolutely amazing. He’s probably one of the hardest workers I’ve ever seen at a restaurant. These days that’s hard to find. Do yourself a favor and come to this place with a nice appetite.

Really impressed with the food quality at Victory Tap. Everything tasted fresh, and the ingredients felt high-quality and thoughtfully prepared. The plates are generously portioned and perfect for sharing, which makes it great for dining with a group.
The dessert selection was a standout. The Oreo cheesecake was rich and indulgent. The tiramisu was light, smooth, and full of flavor. Both were excellent and a perfect way to end the meal.
Service elevated the experience even more — the staff thoughtfully split our entrées for sharing, which made everything seamless and welcoming.

Good service in general, however I wasn’t happy with his version of arancini, also the special of the day was Zuppa di mare (which means soup!) instead a got a massive plate of pasta with seafood, don’t get me wrong, it was good, but was not a soup. Keep in mind that plates are huge,2 persons can easily share a plate and a starter.

I really liked the food here. They have phenomenal Italian food. I had the spaghetti and meatballs and my friend had the eggplant parmesan. Honestly, the eggplant parm was way better so I was a bit jealous, lol.
They had 4$ draft beers during their happy hour. Their selection was not huge, but well thought out to have a little something for everyone.
It is a bit on the pricey side if you are looking for seafood, but not outrageously so. The environment is also quiet so it’s very easy to talk. A big plus for me!
They also have party rooms that you can reserve, though I haven’t done that so I don’t know the process there.

My wife treated me here last night for my birthday. I can’t say it was a great experience, unfortunately.
First off, when my wife made the reservation, she added a comment that it was my birthday. Of course, I don’t expect restaurants to just give me a free dessert, but not a single person on the staff mentioned the fact it was my birthday. No candle stuck in our dessert, nothing.
Despite the back part of the dining area being mostly empty, they seated us right next to other people. Why not give us more privacy/space? Not only that, but the table we were seated at looked like something they just grabbed at a garage sale. Is Victory Tap and upscale place or not? Is this the image you want to portray to your clientele?
The meals were great, as were the drinks. For dessert, we shared the creme brulee, which was tasty, and a cannolo, which was a disaster for a couple of reasons:
First off, it wasn’t very sweet, almost as if someone forgot to add sugar. Secondly (the more concerning part), the whipped cream that came with the cannolo had spoiled. It took us a few bites to realize this, and when I tasted it by itself, it had a bitter taste to it. My wife and I spent the next few hours after dinner feeling incredibly nauseous. It’s completely unacceptable that someone in the kitchen isn’t checking to make sure ingredients haven’t gone bad! The owner needs to step in and review basic food safety processes with the staff.
Overall, I think the most important things the management needs to consider: 1) Please fix up the tables that look run-down. 2) Don’t get your customers sick with spoiled food.

I have to give a huge shout-out to Danny at Victory Tap! He is absolutely amazing—and hilarious. Every time my aunt and I come in, we always request to sit in his section because he just makes the entire experience better.
Danny is incredibly attentive, personable, and consistently gives great menu suggestions. He checks in at all the right times and truly elevates the whole dining experience.
And beyond the service, the food here is fantastic and they have an awesome happy hour—which makes coming back even easier!
If you’re visiting Victory Tap, do yourself a favor and ask for Danny. He’s one of the reasons we keep returning!

This place is a work of art. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money you don’t have to here. Big portions and big hearts here! The bar makes great cocktails and when they have a barrel pick (Elijah Craig) it’s always good. The Risotto will knock your socks off. This Italian restaurant knows their way around a steak too so don’t be afraid to spend the extra for a NY. I will say they burnt the outside of my ribeye (while keeping it perfectly medium rare) one time but the risotto made up for it!

Happy hour at it’s best! Victory Tap.has a great big bar right when you walk in. I went for.Happy Hout and also ordered food from the traditional menu. I absolutely enjoyed everything. A Chicago south loop staple, Victory Tap is an Italian style restaurant in a great location that’s good for any occasion. They have an area upstairs for privare events. And it’s super clean. Always a major plus in my book. The chopped salad was just ok, but I love the complimentary garlic bread that’s sliced with a side of marinara. The wine list is decent. Overall, it’s a new add t I my rotation.
