My sister just had a surprise birthday party here and about 30 people attended. What a fun night! The food was great! First course was calamari which was delicious! So much so my table ordered a second platter, mainly for me!! Second course was peppers and sausage. So so good! Third course was the chicken dish my sister loves and it was quite yummy but not my favorite (calamari was!). Pasta was served as well. The staff who took care of us were great! They danced with us, cut the cake and served everyone promptly. I had a great time and it’s a great place to have a party.

Thought they were closed at first because of the alley entryway, but absolutely one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Sausage veggie soup was phenomenal, bread was amazing (the roasted garlic they give you with it is the best thing ever) and the stuffed shells were delicious. Only regret is we couldnt eat more.

Coming to Ignotz’s was like visiting an aunt and an uncle that we had not seen for a long time, but longed to meet again. The family feel was welcoming, warm and friendly.

Mind you this was my first time ever trying pasta from Little Italy with a friend of mine. We had dinner reservations and were treated with the best service! Also, the owner was kind enough to give us dessert and checked in with his guests at all times. Will definitely recommend this spot in the future to colleagues.

Great family friendly restaurant. My favorite is their pizzas. I love the sweet, fresh tomato sauce that makes my mouth water each time I think about it. Staff and owner are attentive and make you feel like special guests each time I’ve visited.

Hands down, best Italian food I’ve ever had. I had the chicken parmigian and the soup of the day (sausage and meatball) and it was fantastic. My fiancé got the stuffed gnocchi (2 1/2 orders with Alfredo & vodka sauce) and it was also fantastic. “The gnocchi was like eating tiny little clouds”. We got tiramisu for dinner and oh my god it was so good!!!! Our server Sammy was great. Even the owner came out and said hello; very welcoming environment overall with amazing food. About 20 bucks a plate, but you definitely get 20 bucks worth of food.

Absolutely positively unbelievable experience at this restaurant. I’m so sorry to other restaurants I’ve deemed as favorites, but this place right here is the best restaurant I’ve tried in Chicago so far! The food portions are ridiculous! Their huge and plentiful, so it’s an excellent bang for your buck. I wanted to go in the kitchen and give the chef a hug. Their wine is delicious, as well.

First time trying this restaurant after reading great reviews and it did not disappoint. The food was delicious. We had crabcakes, the halibut, a pizza and vodka rigatoni, which was amazing. I like that the owner checked in on us a few times to make sure we were enjoying our meal. I look forward to returning.

We came shortly after they opened after the bears preseason game on a Saturday. My Dad is the only person who has been here before. Service was top notch. EVERYONE in there is friendly and outgoing. Our server was excellent. The Owner came over just to say hi and introduce himself. The food is excellent. We had Calamari for an appetizer. It was wonderful. I had Cheese Tortellini with marinara, my father had Meat Tortellini in meat sauce, and my cousins had the Chicken a la Tippi and the stuffed artichoke. All of the food was delicious. My cousin was raving that it was the best stuffed artichoke she’s ever had. Would go back again and again!
