Bacchanalia is a quaint and cozy Italian restaurant in Chicago’s Little Italy neighborhood. I had a wonderful dining experience there with my family. The service was fast and friendly, the portions were generous and the prices were reasonable. The menu had a variety of dishes to choose from, but I decided to go with the lasagna, which was possibly the best lasagna I’ve ever had. It was rich, cheesy and flavorful, with layers of pasta, meat sauce and cheese. It was baked to perfection and served piping hot. I savored every bite of it. The restaurant also has a full bar and a nice wine selection. The atmosphere was lively and fun, with Italian music playing in the background. Bacchanalia is a great place to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine and experience the culture of Little Italy. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Italian food and wants to have a memorable meal.

This restaurant is a old family favorite. We valet parked. We had a party of 14 on a busy Sat night. Atmosphere is cozy for a large party. We ordered antipasta platter, fried calamari, and baked clams, moscato asti, chicken vesuvio, chicken bacchanalia, lasagna, gnocchi, fettuccini, and chicken parm. Lasagna table favorite! Ambiance so quaint and pretty! Service friendly and fun! Thank you Donna Sierzega McNally

This place is ~15min walk from Western CTA station. We came here on a Monday night for a friend’s birthday. The restaurant is located in a residential area and the streets are quiet. There are fairy lights outside the restaurant so it shouldn’t be hard to find.

Had a great first time experience here even with short staff . The appetizers were all great. Service was quick and thorough. The pasta was fantastic and the garlic penne literally gave me chills in a good way. Gnocchi was definitely worth it and will come back again .

Ugh I really wanted to like this place, but food wasn’t what I expected. My pasta was hard and dry. The server is very sweet and nice, place is welcoming. Just expected more for a $30 plate of pasta.

This cozy & small Italian restaurant has a bar in the front and dining area towards the back. All of the staff was very nice but they could have been more attentive. I enjoyed the food, they have a delicious marinara sauce! For dessert I had the tiramisu for the first time and I did not enjoy it. For reference it had a very strong coffee flavor to a point where it tasted like black coffee. Also, their website states they take & accommodate special requests but when I asked for Angel hair instead of spaghetti I was denied.

This is gonna be an off the wall review, but I finally found you! Somewhere around 2016/17, I was in Chicago with my former partner for a conference and stayed in Pilsen. Looking for dinner, we roamed around and happened upon your location. We looked like a bunch of hillbillies in our shorts, hats, and graphic shirts, and your restaurant welcomed us in without pause. Not only that, but the food was absolute sensational—sensational enough for me to be reviewing you 5+ years later. I see your reviews are just as high and suspect you must be doing something right. I look forward to my next visit to Chicago so I can give you all my money for the delicious experience you provide!

Friends went on New Years Day. They brought me back an order of mostacholli and meat balls. Of all the hype I’ve heard about this place the dinner was average at best. The main problem was the website lists it at $11.95 and $3.95 for the meat balls. The receipt in bag was for $24.15 and a 20% tip for $4.83. A tip to walk it from the kitchen to the table? I paid $28.98 total for mostacholli. You’ll never see me grace your door step
