Labriola Chicago

My college mate and I decided to reunite here for dinner. Although busy, we were seated quickly and our waiter was extra attentive. Every server was great- our water glasses were refilled every couple of minutes, so we literally never ran out of water. For my main, I asked for the linguine fra diavolo but with shrimp only. I was happy that this accommodation was able to be fulfilled. The pasta was delicious with more than enough sauce, and a decent amount of shrimp. I think I could've handled more spice though, but the dish was delicious in its own.This is a great spot for any size group and in the great downtown area.Pro tip: you might want to Uber, parking close by is quite pricey!

Reservation made for inside at 5:30 on a Saturday because they do not let you make reservations for patio. Fortunately was able to get a patio seat for 3. Got the deep dish with pepperoni and sausage. It was very good but not what I expected. It is focaccia style dough. Very airy and doughy. Not crispy at all. This style dough with very little sauce is why it gets 3 stars. The sausage is excellent Our waiter was awful btw. No greeting. Just a "what do you want". I think this place is good because location only.

When I'm back in Chicago... D2 and I were staying downtown for a volleyball tournament and this came highly rated from a friend. It was a short walk from our hotel and so conveniently located if you're in the Magnificent Mile area.We were greeted and seated promptly. We shared the calamari fritti and it was delicious. She had the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and she said it's the best she's ever eaten. I had the gnocchi a la bolognese and it was delicious. It was so much food that we had to bring our leftovers home with us. We even went back 2 nighs later, it was THAT yummy to us. Second time around we shared the steak and frittes and the margarita pizza. Again so yummy. It can get loud inside. Tables are close to each other. But I would still go back for all the yummy food.

So busy! I ate my dinner on the patio with the other patrons and all the people waiting. Literally, there was a man posted up 6" from my dinner plate. To me, regardless of how good the food is... this isn't safe. Did I stay? Yes. I made a reservation. Chicago in the summer.. Anyways, food doesn't matter because the patio is a mess. I did get a carafe of Bellini to try and calm my nerves a bit. A lot of people make me nervous. Remember Covid?

Went here on a Saturday night and the place was packed and very noisy. I don't know why people were literally screaming. We ordered salad and chicken alfredo pasta. Both were average. I didn't feel the authentic italian flavor with pasta. Overall very average food. Coming to the service when we were about the take the plates that were stacked on top of each other to serve our food. Guess what the plates was unwashed plates that was assumed to be washed. When we told our waiter he just said a quick sorry and replaced them. But it was disgusting to see this sort of service management.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the location since it felt pretty touristy, but the service was incredible. Our waiter was super attentive and always checked in on us. The pasta was cooked well but just ok- i appreciated the fact that they split it for me and my friend. We got the DANNY'S SPECIAL deep dish and it was pretty good, the crust wasn't too heavy and the flavors were good. The drinks were also delicious as well. Overall, had a solid meal here but nothing necessarily blew me away but I would still recommend this place if you're craving Italian/pizza.

Huge busy eatery, expect some delays but luckily you can duck into a couple nice spots nearby for a drink while you wait.Calamari and Bruschetta make for delicious appetizers. Excellent quality tea selection!!Love the Spaghetti and Meatballs! Perfectly seasoned and flavorful. Carbonara with shrimps too. Mushrooms and asparagus partner well with the mains. Choice of thick or thin deep dish pizzas.For dessert, pistachio gelato is amazing!! Perfect with coffee.Mosha and crew took good care of us despite the busy hour.Excellent experience overall!

Service 9/10: - our reservation didn't register in the system but our hostess was still able to seat us quickly outside, she was very kind and we appreciated her thoughtfulness - considering it was 4th of July, we got our waters filled up consistently and our orders taken relatively quickly - staff was attentive, kind, and accommodating Ambiance 10/10: - located along Michigan Ave overlooking a scenic view of downtown Chicago, it was perfect to sit outside and enjoy the view - tables were spacious which I appreciated Food: Penne Alla Vodka 8/10 - $18 - perfectly al dente pasta - creamy vodka sauce, I wish it was a little more savory - topped lightly with Parmesan, I recommend adding crushed red pepper flakes - does not come with protein, which there was protein or a larger serving for the price (protein was an upgrade of $5-9 depending on what you wanted)Cupped Pepperoni Artisan Pizza 8.5/10 - $21 - the cupped pepperoni + hot honey was SO GOOD- they don't go light on the hot honey, absolutely covered and not drizzled so you get a prominent flavor throughout - the crust is on the thinner side but not thin crust if that makes sense, perfectly crispy (recommend dipping it in your leftover vodka sauce) - a little cheese heavy for my taste but just a personal preference Would love to come back and try some of their other offerings! Very enjoyable experience even in the midst of July 4th dinner rush

This is a review longtime coming, during a dark time in the past which is thankfully gone for good. But the focaccia deep dish Popeye pizza was just a mountain of magnificent flavor and the thin crust equally amazing. The server really needed to do something else for a living, but excellent food regardless.

Great dinner spot in downtown Chicago. Atmosphere is very lively, cozy, and inviting. Service was fairly quick despite it being so busy.We ordered quite a few items. The mushroom pizza was pretty good. Loaded with mushrooms, cheese, and a truffle flavour. Deep dish pizza is not for me, but certainly seemed to be popular here. Keep in mind they take about 20-30 minutes to get that out for you so order once you get there. The peas gnocchi was alright. I enjoyed the texture of the gnocci but I think the sauce was lacking flavour. It was a bit plain for us. Meanwhile, I had ordered their seafood linguini. It was absolutely delicious! Loads of seafood, a delicious saucy base, and perfectly al dente pasta. Definitely craving that again.We also tried the bruschetta starter which wasn't that memorable to be honest. And we also ordered the brussel sprouts which I thought were fantastic! Definitely a great spot to stop at for dinner if you're in the city.
