Bacchanalia Ristorante

Always a fabulous visit- Sunday when they 1st opened - welcomed with smilesLisa was the best. Read the room/ meaning she could tell 3 girlfriends wanted to talk Everything was delicious and of course the lasagna my favorite! Lots to take home- we had baked clams- caprese salad , whitefish and ravioli - just the best if you want amazing food- the best staff and owners that are engaged!Thank you!

Atmosphere was amazing, the food was out of this world, and the server was on top of everything ( Dante)!! Thanks for all of the suggestions! Ant K. *****

Bacchanalia has the feel of a simple neighborhood restaurant, with great service and amazing food. We had the pizza bread, calamari, lasagna, and spinach gnocchi with vodka sauce. All of these dishes were great, but the stand out was the gnocchi. The gnocchi was stuffed with spinach! This was definitely a surprise. We've never had gnocchi like this before. It was great. Super light and fluffy, nice texture, not chewy. I would get this every time. The lasagna was also very good, but a tad salty for me. We ended the meal with the tiramisu, which we didn't love. It seemed like there was a chocolate sauce and some other substitute for the cocoa powder and mascarpone. Overall, it was a great meal. We'll definitely be back!

There needs to be more restaurants like Bacchanalia in Chicago. A classic, family run, hidden gem! The food here is so delicious, and such generous portions. Great for sharing! My favorites are the baked clams, sausage and peppers, rigatoni vodka, and chicken vesuvio!

Amazing food! We came for New Year's Eve. Fun fact: This place was where we spent our first NYE, so we were so happy to come back almost five years later.Our server was great. She listened to us, understood what we wanted, and thus responded us with great recommendations based on what we shared we liked. I had the NYE special (linguini with lobster) while my boyfriend ordered baked shells. The sauce that came with my dish was super delicious: I really wanted to come home with the sauce. The baked shells was really cheesy and the Chianti wine paired well with my dish. It was such a cute nice place. We enjoyed our time here and plan to come back for the summer!Not pictured: Caesar salad - Perfect pairingItalian Beer

This place is great! My friends were visiting from out of town this past weekend and I remembered this place from years ago. It is a neighborhood gem in little Italy area that is worth visiting. I forgot about the large portions and how great the food is here! If I could give it 10 stars I would. The waitress (entire staff) was very friendly , attentive and made our visit enjoyable. Everyone ordered a different meal and every single bite was delicious! The house Chianti and Tiramisu was really good as well. Definitely will not stay away so long next time!

It has been quite some time since I have felt compelled to write a review for a restaurant, but Bacchanalia deserves this praise. My girlfriends and I went last night. It had a cozy, romantic and yet homey vibe to it. The place felt small but very comfortable. The staff was extremely accommodating, as we had multiple gift bags from a late Xmas gift exchange. We were lucky enough to have Ron as our waiter which amplified our experience. He was funny, courteous, attentive and gave us the most incredible and trustworthy recommendations. He truly made our experience so special. I felt as if I was having dinner at home while being catered to by my cool uncle. Ron was amazing to say the least. Please ask for him, he made our night.Alright, now to the food. Incredible! Out of this world. My top choices were the calamari (which is breaded after you order) the gnocchi (order half regular and half spinach) and the lasagna. These three things were my absolute favorite. Perfectly made, extremely delicious, great portions and a beautiful presentation.We also ordered the bruschetta caprese, chicken vesuvio, the chocolate cake and carrot cake. All extremely delicious but my stand out dishes were the ones noted. For drinks we ordered espresso martinis and fig old fashioned. They were well made and packed a punch.Overall, our experience was nothing short of amazing. I loved every bit of my time there and the food. I cannot wait to return. Please check this place out. You will not be disappointed and please ask for Ron as your server. That man is pure gold! A complete joy!

Delicious "old school" Italian with a cozy "Godfather" atmosphere. Waitstaff was attentive, even changed the music upon request! Thank you!

Old school Italian. Great value. Takes you back to the 50s. Have the sausage and peppers it is like Nonna made.

Was there over the weekend, food was great! The tall blonde lady (Lisa?) attending us was really nice. Good experience overall.
