Best Italian I've had in a long time! – I stumbled upon this place about a month ago and I've been back 3 times. Nana's Gravy is the best! Also the meatball salad and Lemondrop Martini's made with Lemonchello are awesome! It's my new favortie place!

urbanpln – Big food does not equal good food or great retaurant. I don't get it, this place is average at best.

Best calamari around-great for the table, very close to McCormick Place, tables are close enough to see and be seen without feeling cramped, great service for my party of 12-worth the visit – Tables are close enough to see and be seen without feeling cramped, great service for my party of 12-worth the visit!

AMAZING FOOD!!! – Great food, like the previous poster, I have eaten here numerous times. Exact opposite experiences. Great, friendly wait staff, service and the food. Wow, best meatballs I have ever had. The only "bad" thing is the space is a little tight, don't get the backroom, there is an annoying flat screen TV. Highly recommended, great addition to the booming South Loop

Anyway, waiting staff is terrible, I'm not saying that they are impolite, but they lack the basic skills i.e. they have no idea about any wine, and according to them all dishes are great ...

The booming South Loop gets a little homier with this lively Italian spot. – The Scene Spiffing up a formerly dreary stretch of south State Street, the restaurant is divided into two halves--sporty bar with flat-screen TVs on one side, and a more elegant dining room with original art on the other--separated by a dark wood and frosted glass partition. Diners are a neighborhood mix of newly urban empty nesters and young South Loop condo dwellers. The Food The menu features hearty southern Italian fare that offers sausage lover... read more

chicago style italian – I will follow Joey Farina to any restaurant he works. His food is awesome. Bionda is worth going to just for the Sunday salad with meatballs. Great job

Great food and reaonable prices. – Great food and service. It is a far cry from the old restaurant that was there. I am sure this one will be around for a long time! The quarters are a little tight, but I think that will change since they have the space next door and plan on expanding. The meatballs are the BEST
