PR Italian Bistro

Delicious dinner, great service! We had some pretty amazing homemade pasta and will definitely come again! It's a smaller restaurant, so you may have to wait a few minutes for a table but the turnaround is quick!

This is a lovely little neighborhood gem. I was a bit torn between 4 or 5 stars, but being one of the few local joints in the area and having such a kind staff pushed me to choose 5. I came in here when visiting, and I love that this is a walkable restaurant in the neighborhood, there aren't a TON of options super close. The ambience inside is a lovely, intimate spot with wood tables and brick walls. We came early for dinner to avoid crowds, and the noise level was fine. It started to pick up as we were leaving and was getting louder.Our server (pretty sure it was Aaron?) was so nice and upbeat. The host was also really nice and helpful. I love limoncello so was very excited to have that as my before-dinner drink. My mom got a cosmo and it was lovely. I don't usually like cosmos, but there was something unique (and not too cranberry) about it so I definitely had several "sample sips" of hers. The apps were super tempting but we wanted to eat our meal so we skipped. Good thing. I got the scallop risotto blackboard special. It came out on a plate and was a bit more "liquidy" than I prefer. I think that might be a chosen style, but I prefer a little bit more rigid. The scallops were plain cooked and had a great consistency. I wouldn't have minded them having a little bit more to them, but the flavors of the rest of the dish were plenty and they didn't really need more (call me greedy). The dish could easily have fed two, but I ate it all (and was VERY full afterwards). My mom got the bucatini (I think also on special?) and added a side of meatballs for protein. The meatballs were huge -- practically a meal in itself. She took them home for 2 days of leftovers. The noodles were cooked to perfection and the flavor was lovely. I ate her leftover pasta for two days :)We had such a great time we tried to come back for a cosmo on a weekend night. It was packed (love to see local packed places!), and we didn't really feel like waiting. The host (same as before) was so nice and walked around the restaurant so he could give us a timeline on when a bar or table might open up. We just came from dinner and were only going to have a drink, so we opted not to wait. I highly recommend dining and drinking here, though!

Such a small yet cute restaurant. While I was not a fan of their drinks, I did enjoy their food and ambiance. I had the Tordelli Brasati (short rib pasta), it was perfect! Smaller portion, but it is fairly heavy so it was definitely filling.

We ate here for Valentine's Day and it was 10/10. The service was great, the food was delicious & the prices were very reasonable. Will be back

I've been to many restaurants in Chicago that are four stars that don't deserve them. This place currently sits at 3.8 stars but imo should be way higher. Upon entering, the owner greeted us at the door. He was warm, welcoming, and excited that we were there. He asked us our table preferences and found us a spot right away. Our server was nice, friendly, standard. The food was absolutely delicious and the bartender did an excellent job with the martinis. For their menu, it rotates based on season and the chefs specials. The decor and lighting was very great and this place also has a nice patio for outdoor dining. If you're in the area, be sure to stop in to this local restaurant--it will not disappoint. Overall, I'd give this place upwards of 4.5 stars. Happy eating!!Protip: check out their food on Instagram in addition to here on Yelp! Also, if you try the deserts here, leave a review so I can read your reviews![One small suggestion to the owners...we like to wash our hands before our dinner but the restroom has doors that pull open from the inside with no paper towels to use on the handle. I'd suggest adding foot pulls to the doors for guests.]

In the heart of Wrigleyville, this Italian and brunch bistro is an absolute gem! I miss living on the same block. You can dine indoors or outdoors, I recommend stopping in before or after a game. Whether you're craving traditional Italian dishes or mouthwatering brunch spread, every bite is bursting with flavor and so obviously made with the freshest ingredients. Its prime location near Wrigley Field adds to the excitement of dining outdoors in this vibrant neighborhood. Highly recommend stopping by for a taste of Italy with a brunch twist. Bottomless mimosas too!*edit*They no longer have brunch. Still great food!! I've tried a bit of everything.

I'm baffled I have yet to review this neighborhood gem, as we have dined here numerous times (even back when they were Pizzeria Rustica) and have never been disappointed. PR Bistro is solid all around: super knowledgeable and attentive staff, warm cozy atmosphere, and the best part: the food. Oh, and the drinks! Great beer and wine selection, and tasty craft cocktails.Highly recommend checking out the blackboard specials as the chef is always issuing creative dishes but the regular menu items are amazing as well. The "worst" part of the visit is trying to decide what to order! They have a cute little sidewalk patio for dining Al fresco as well.

Don't come here if you want your steak medium rare. I unfortunately had to send my steak back three times because they kept cooking it medium well instead of medium rare. For a $44 steak, there wasn't even a hint of redness. To make matters worse, the owner/head chef brought out the third attempt and was blatantly rude to my boyfriend when he spoke up since I was too uncomfortable to do so. I regret not taking photos, but overall I don't recommend coming here if you want your steak cooked properly.

My friend and I went to PR Italian Bistro for my birthday. I had a Seafood stuffed lasagna and it was the best lasagna I have ever had. I am Italian so growing up I have had my share of Italian food including lasagna, spaghetti and every sort of pizza imaginable. It was just incredible tasting and better than any other lasagna I have ever had. The owner, Stephano was there ensuring things were getting cooked perfectly. Our ham & cheese appetizer was great, wine (very kind lady bartender) and dessert were fantastic. The owner even prepared a special Birthday dessert for me specifically. The atmosphere was great as well as the whole experience. This place is definitely a 5 Star Place and a 5 Star Review.My friend had lamb chops with linguine and it was cooked and tasted incredible too.

Delicious food and great service! We will be back. The Gamberi Aglio Arrostito (roasted garlic shrimp) appetizer is amazing. Pictured is the Branzino Limone special and the Tordelli Brasati, both incredible :)
