From the moment we entered the restaurant we felt like "home". The server was welcoming and so accommodating with my grandchildren. The kids menu is excellent. We enjoyed our food at a window table. The whole experience was fabulous!!!

My bf and I decided to venture out for Valentine's Day for some good pasta! We wanted to try out a new location as we have only been to the Lincoln park one. We waited only about 30 minutes. Our server Gracie was amazing! Although they were really busy, she still took the time to give us recommendations and get our orders in asap. Very kind and attentive!! The food was so good and the portions are huge as well. Take a peak at their drink specials they have during the week, we were able to get $6 mules. Total bill was 85 before tip for salad, two pastas and 4 drinks.

Tim was the waiter. He was absolutely phenomenal. The food was delicious, nice portions, clean fun ambience Prince was playing when I walked in so what's not to love! Excellent suggestions for food... Amazing portion sizes very family style friendly... I highly suggest hitting up the Pasta Bowl if you're ever in the area... it was so good. A great value for great food!!!

Solid pasta spot! The food was tasty, but the highlight was really how large the portion sizes are! You are definitely getting a great deal for the price. For an appetizer, we ordered the small mixed green salad. I liked the balsamic vinaigrette because it was very flavorful. The salad had fresh greens, tomatoes, olives, and beans. I liked the mix of textures a lot! It was pretty filling though because of the beans and the size! It could probably feed 4 people as an appetizer/side. For mains, we ordered fettuccine shrimp Alfredo and the conchiglie gorgonzola. The portions were MASSIVE. Honestly I think each could feed 2-3 people, so definitely expect leftovers. The fettuccine Alfredo was very rich and the sauce was a little thicker and creamier than I prefer, but my partner really enjoyed it! I liked the conchiglie gorgonzola a lot! It had a more balanced flavor and I liked that it had spinach. Gorgonzola is an acquired taste though so if you're not into blue cheese it might not be for you. Both pasta dishes came with a large slice of bread too! On a Friday evening, we walked in and it was packed. We put our names down for 2 people and it was a 20-30 minute wait. Once we were seated, the service was excellent! Just attentive enough and very kind. The food was taking awhile to come out so the server offered us a free dessert. We were too full by the end of the dinner but they offered a dessert to take home! Overall, a great spot for affordable and yummy Italian food.

Food portions are large and it's tastes amazing! Service is wonderful and the ambiance of the restaurant is very cozy!

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!

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.

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 (: )
