Most delicious deep dish pizza in Chicago! The service was wonderful and the place has an old/relaxed/welcoming vibe. Loved the cleanliness and decor! The sangria was delectable! Plenty of indoor seating but the patio has great ppl watching and city views. Eat here if you want a TRUE Chicago deep dish pizza. This place wins for a reason! read more

Went to Labriola during my trip to Chicago. The restaurant has a nice setting, and the hostess was sweet. Surprisingly, we arrived during happy hour. We were seated quickly, and the drinks came out just as fast. We ordered the pizza, and it was good, but the wait time was a bit long. The bartender/server was nice and helpful, though. I advise coming during happy hour, but after 5:00, it may be packed, and you will have longer wait times. read more

This is a really big restaurant with a nice atmosphere! The service was great loved our waiter but the food is eh compared to all the great Italian restaurants nearby. I got the Cacio e Pepe and it tasted like jar Alfredo. While not bad especially for the price point I wouldn't go here expecting great things. read more

Labriola - Shrimp Cacio e Pepe - Italian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We really just chanced upon this charming restaurant while out and it was a lovely experience. The restaurant is located near the canal. It has pretty outdoor seating. We got there early for lunch but it filled up fast as soon as we arrived. We ordered the minestrone soup whiich was excellent. The main reason was because the pasta in the soup was cooked al dente which made it slightly chewy. I loved tbis! Usually pasta in minestrone is always cooked through. Also got the waldorf salad which had loads of candied walnuts. We ordered Danny's Special deep dish pizza. It says it is award winning on the menu so we thought we'd give it a try. It was delicious! I particularly liked the burnt edges where the melted cheese and crust were crispy. The service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant is surprisingly spacious inside. Bathroom was large and clean. I would like to go back and try other menu items and have some more of their minestrone soup! Highly recommend! read more

The two stars are solely for the food (& my dish only). The eggplant parm was tasty, however my husbands salmon was just okay. They don't have a kids menu so we ordered half of the gnocchi which was extremely bland. -3 stars because we had terrible service. Our waiter took a very long time to even give us water. When he finally got there, asked if we had questions about the menu, and as soon as we asked, he quickly answered and then disappeared for at least 15 more minutes. This happened multiple times and he was often nowhere to be found or very difficult to track down. Would not go back because of this. read more

I am probably the LAST person to realize that this is the same company that owns Stan's Donuts! But they didn't have any on site, oddly! :) We tried their pizza at Pizza Fest a while ago, and it was great! We just never got around to going since so many pizza places are in our neighborhood. We had a coupon for a free appetizer per the Stan's Donut race, so we figured this would be a good reason as any to stop in. We sat inside so we can see tvs, though 1 of them was frozen. Our server was busy but friendly and efficient. I didn't know also they had their own lager, so I tried that (it was good) and we got crispy brussel sprouts and skinny pan pizza with burrata and basil. I never heard of skinny pan! I liked to 'split the difference' where I get pizza thicker than thin crust, but not as heavy as pan/stuffed. It was as good as I remembered from pizza fest. For me the SAUCE is the most important in pizza: you can have the best cheese and bread in the world, but nasty sauce is not worth it! It wasn't too salty or too bland. Too much basil though, I am not a fan of basil! It was busy but not hectic, I appreciated that. read more

Amazing deep dish Chicago pizza. The skinny deep dish option was very good without all the dough. The burrata & basil was delicious!! The pizzas can take 30 minutes to make but worth the wait.

Second time to Labriola- visiting with my parents, brother and my son. Really enjoyed the Danny's special deep dish with Russo sausage. We also had the seafood linguine, Caesar salad and grilled asparagus. Everything was very tasty especially the deep dish! If you order deep dish it will take at least 35 minutes. The ambiance is very bustling. read more

It was our first visit to Chicago, and we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to indulge in a delicious Italian dinner. We savored the margarita pizza from the happy hour special, along with some tagliatelle bolognese and a delightful house salad drizzled with a refreshing champagne vinaigrette. The service was fantastic, and we really enjoyed the food. Plus, it was just a stone's throw away from the fabulous Magnificent Mile shops! read more

Service was perfect. Wine pairing server reccomended was spot on. ... 5 stars Wine was pricy ... 3 stars Place is very very loud and noisy. The room is small and a ton of people there, low ceilings and no sound absorption. They need some ceiling absorbers. Not a place for a relaxing meal. ... 1 star unless you are young and love places you have to talk very loudly $14 garden salad was perfect for 3 people's starter. Fairly priced. Very flavorful. ... 5 stars Deep dish pizza was a disappointment. Totally soggy. The red sauce was thin and way to watery.. not the thick layer of red sauce id expect. We let it cool, but the entire bottom crust was soggy. Flavor was ok, could have been great if they had done the red sauce properly. ... 2 stars, but it has potential to be great. read more

Service was kind, the restaurant is lovely if a bit crowded. We made a reservation and had the burrata deep dish pizza and it was AMAZING. Highly recommend to anyone stopping in Chicago! read more

Labriola - 14" Burrata & Basil Deep Dish - Italian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We hosted our engagement party at Labriola a few weeks ago. We had about 100 people and we were given nothing but wonderful feedback. It was on the outside promenade, in late October, and was absolutely perfect for what we wanted. When we walked in, we knew it was "The Place". I was worried that it would be too cold, with it originally being an outdoor area, but it was not. The walls and heaters put up, made the room warm and comfortable. The room was beautiful, with a fun and cool vibe. The food was amazing, the ambiance was perfect, and I can't say enough about the staff. We worked with Alexa to plan the whole party and she was beyond helpful - Everyone was! They even threw in a few little fun touches at the end. Thank you, Labriola for making our special day even more special. We can't wait to host another event there in the future. read more

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 read more

Was seated very quickly and the hostess was very friendly and accommodating. I went with the margherita pizza, garlic knots and the pinky twist mocktail for my order. My server was extremely friendly and I love how I was told that the pizza would take around 25-30 minutes. The garlic nuts came out almost instantly, but they are absolutely delicious. They're not hard and they are sprinkled with Parmesan. And they're light and fluffy. My water is refilled often which shows that the workers care about their customers and are keeping an eye on tables. I finished all three garlic nuts, completely forgetting that I have a Margherita pizza to eat as well. The pizza arrived well done which I love. The crust is very thin has an amazing punch to it and it's also light along with the garlic knots, which allows me to eat more than expected. Got to three pieces of the pizza and was STUFFED! The pizza was great, and I love how it wasn't floppy and was pretty sturdy. Overall great experience and would highly recommend to anyone who's local or makes a visit to Chicago. The service is PHENOMENAL! read more

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. read more

Labriola Ristorante in downtown Chicago on 535 N Michigan Ave has the best pizza in Chicago. Me saying that means a lot because I love Chicago pizza. I was genuinely impressed by the warm welcome as soon as we walked in. The restaurant is located in Streeterville, known for good bars and restaurants, but more importantly, the location is within walking distance to everything. We ate in the private dining room where we made pizza, ordered pizza, and had a selection of amazing appetizers and desserts. I was absolutely blown away by the service, the quality, and most of all the taste of the food. The chef even stopped by to share stories behind the signature dishes which made the evening feel extra special. I can't wait to try their other dishes on my next visit to Chicago. read more

Labriola's award-winning deep-dish pizza is fantastic, but that's not the only reason this place deserves five stars--it's everything else! The warm, family-friendly ambiance and incredible food make for an unforgettable dining experience. We started with the Stracciatella, and it was absolutely to die for. The combination of their fresh bread with tomato pesto and creamy stracciatella was so good that my wife and I immediately agreed we'd order two next time. But then...the skirt steak and fries arrived. Juicy, flavorful, and honestly better than some steaks we've had at steakhouses! Of course, we couldn't pass up the Deep Dish Pepperoni Pizza, which lived up to the hype. It was huge, so I was thrilled to have leftovers for lunch the next day. If you're looking for incredible food beyond just great pizza, Labriola is a must-visit! read more

rlly lovely experience at Labriola! although they're known for deep dish my friend and i were more in the mood for steak & pasta so we split the spaghetti and meatballs and the steak. the food was great but the service here is impeccable. we had 4 people at our reservation and 2 of them were an hour late, so it would have been perfectly reasonable for them to say they couldn't wait for them but they were so nice about it and didn't mind at all. while ordering one of my friends and i mentioned we were splitting 2 dishes and they brought out our meal already split for the 2 of us!! i've never rlly had service like that before and it was greatly appreciated!! the restaurant itself is HUGE so it's kind of a perfect stop if you're being touristy downtown & don't plan for a reservation because i doubt there's ever really a wait. read more

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. read more

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. read more

ooof.... this place was a huge miss for us. We weren't planning on coming here, but it was on my bookmarks and our driver spoke highly of it, so we went. We stopped by for a late lunch after a busy morning touring the city. We were lucky enough to snag a table without waiting. We ordered: -calamari - this came out within thirty seconds of us ordering which was...surprising. By far, the worst calamari I've ever had. It was soggy, not crispy despite being fried, just all around terrible. The cherry on top was finding a bone in the calamari to which we told our server. He quickly brought out a new order of calamari...which was also terrible. Do NOT order this. -oyster bay sauv blanc - y i k e s... on top of this coming out halfway through our meal (we thought they had forgotten and were going to be ok w that), they brought this wine out WARM. At this point, we were like ok...we just want to leave -eight finger cavatelli - the pasta tasted like rubber and overall, this dish was less than average. I did like the sauce, though. Overall, we spent over $50 for a lunch where we enjoyed next to nothing. I would not recommend this. read more

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. read more

Bustling Italian spot! Tried some drinks, appetizers, pizzas, and pastas. Overall, pizzas were good and thinner than a traditional deep dish, which we preferred. The drinks were strong and large. The pastas were a bit overdone and chewy. Would recommend making a reservation before coming here. Service was generally attentive but given how busy it was, it wasn't the easiest to flag someone down if you needed anything. read more

The first time I ate here I thought their cacio pepe was pretty good, so we stopped back in.

A little late to the review. Went here for lunch with wife and kids about a month ago. The staff helped us get a table where we could put a high chair for our 9 mnth old. Our server made some good suggestions on what to order and also gave us a heads up on the eta beforehand. Going against the norm, we ordered the thin crust pizzas here. A custom veggie and a pepperoni. Both the pizzas were very yummy and the crust was nice and crunchy. Also tried the Burrata Caprese and the Brussel sprouts which were also very good. Overall I really liked the food, ambiance and the service. read more

We had dinner here last night with friends who were in town from the West coast. We all loved our meal. Our friends wanted deep dish but they also have kids who really enjoy steak and salmon. So I found Labriola near their hotel since it had everything on their list, and wasn't too pricey. And plus plus that you can make a reservation. :) My friend has actually had Giordanos and said she likes the sauce to meat ratio of the deep dish here. So I'm happy she enjoyed it. I ordered the shrimp cacio pepe. It was delicious! And a big serving, I had some to take home! My husband ordered the steak frites and he really liked it. It was a fair size and under $40! I wish they had a kids menu. But I ordered my 3 year old the 10" pepperoni thin crust pizza and it was perfect for her. She had 2ish sliced and then my husband was able to have a slice or two and then we took the rest home. We were sat at a long high top table right by the door. (There was 8 of us in total) when making the reservation..I should have added that we'd have 4 kids with us so that they'd slate a normal table for us. I did see bigger tables in the back when we walked to the bathroom. But I guess it's not that big of a deal. I will for sure be back! It's a good option if you're in the area and have folks who have a variety of food needs. read more

We arrived in Chicago for just an overnight visit and asked our concierge for a good pizza place. This place does not disappoint. A very clean, roomy dining area with a bakery attached which was very popular. Staff was very attentive, professional and service was prompt, with exception for the pizzas which are understandably a wait (I believe our was 20 minutes and the place was almost empty when we were seated. ) We ordered the Danny special, 12", which it did not disappoint. The crust was light, flavorful and the sauce was perfect, (a bit sweet if you like that). There was richness on the meats and cheese. The pieces were cut in squares which made it easy to eat and not clumsy and awkward with larger pieces that are heavy and flop over onto your plate. We didn't try anything else bc were sort of full from a breakfast buffet. We definitely will come back. read more

This restaurant was amazing but it was SO filling that I rolled back to the hotel after this one. HOWEVER- I have no regrets at all. We started off by having the most gorgeous bread- perfectly crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. The olive oil and balsamic soaked into it so well and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese overtop really HIT THE SPOT. We ordered calamari as an appetizer and it was great. It wasn't greasy, it was coated well and the breading tasted great. A little lemon squeeze and a dip in the marinara sauce made these crispy calamari a 12/10. For the main course, I ordered the Eight Finger Cavatelli. I have never had noodles like these before- they were all pretty oddly shaped and very thick. The vodka sauce was amazing and the whipped ricotta elevated the dish to a whole new level. It was beyond delicious. I wish I didn't get so stuffed on bread and pasta because I bet the dessert here was great #regretsbutnotreally Anyway, Labriola was amazing. Thank you, Labriola. ‍ read more
