Came here for $5 wine Wednesday, left with a very full tummy (and leftovers too!). The open kitchen is a nice touch to this small, cozy space. Our waiter, I think Jorge, was phenomenal! We definitely got the house pour of wine (for $5?!). I got the rigatoni bolognese with meatballs and it was good. I would give this a 4.5 if I could because I have had better pasta, but the experience overall made me give it a 5. A 4 is too low. Will be back!

I came back and had a great group dinner! Pasta bowl is a great place to stop by with bigger groups as the portions are massive, the prices affordable, and the service is always top notch. I will say, after trying several different pastas, I won't recommend the penne alla vodka bc it doesn't taste like penne alla vodka at all, but I would highly recommend their own classics like the tortellini! Their garlic cheese bread is also a must have--have made several people try it and they've all loved it!

a very popular italian restaurant in wicker park. TLDR; very busy (during peak times with dine-in and takeout orders) with not too much seating, reasonable prices given the huge portions of pasta (easily 2 servings), decent taste.we came at 7pm on a saturday and it was very busy but since we were a party of 2 we got a table in 15 minutes (otherwise 45+). recommend waiting near the restaurant because if other parties don't show up they will move down the waitlist pretty fast.service was decent, a bit rushed and took awhile because it was very busy so understandable. took awhile to get a waitress to order but our food came in ~20 minutes after.// signature farfalle pollo ($18.00) //signature cream sauce pasta with farfalle pasta, sliced chicken, and some sun dried tomatoes and mushrooms. came with one piece of bread and parmesan on top. as mentioned, very huge portions for italian restaurants. thought the pasta sauce would have more of a sundried tomato flavor but it's traditional cream sauce with some chunks of tomatoes. food was not the most hot, borderline lukewarm so it got cold really fast. // strawberry, walnut, and pear salad ($15.00) //good portion for a salad, could be an entree. really enjoyed the combination of strawberry, walnut, pear, and the goat cheese (which ties it together in my opinion).would say it's decent italian food, nothing extraordinary but i would definitely come here for the portion sizes (especially if u want some leftovers (: )

The place is cozy and it has open kitchen, we got the table immediately on Saturday night without reservation. Our server Izzie was nice and very friendly. The food was good - pasta bolognese was a hit (perfectly balanced sauce, meaty and hearty) however caballo blanco was missing salt and pasta wasn't al dente. The portions are quite big and the prices are fair. Will be back to try other pastas and hope salt/cook level will be perfect then.

They say the chicken farfalle is sundried tomatoes. It's like one. The rest is just regular tomatoes. Disappointing because i get this a lot. It used to be what it claimed to be.

The service was great and the food was good. I would recommend their Farfalle Pollo pasta dish. We also tried a shrimp dish and their fried lobster ravioli which was okay.The ambience was pleasant. My only advice to the restaurant is to try adding other ingredients to make the food dishes more memorable.

Tried the pasta bowl dinner deal for $55, which included a salad, an app, two pastas and a dessert. Great deal for the amount of food but overall the food was mediocre. The spinach salad had good ingredients and a decent dressing. We got the cheesy garlic bread for our app and it was just ok. For pastas, we got the chicken Alfredo and the lucky penne. I enjoyed them enough for the price but they were very heavy/oily and I wouldn't be back for either. The cheesecake was our choice for dessert and again, just average. We also made requests in the comments (no mozzarella on my penne, add Diablo toppings to his fettuccini bc it wasn't an option online) and both were ignored.Overall, great deal for the price and quick Italian but certainly nothing to write home about. With all the other authentic Italian in wicker park, don't think we will be back for this one.
