This is a large open venue with plentiful seating and table service. Their pizza is tremendous but do be prepared for a wait if they are busy as everything is made fresh and if you go for the traditional deep dish it will take a little longer but its totally worth it! They also have bar seating and their bar tenders know their stuff! All their staff are super friendly and welcoming and the place has great atmosphere overall.

I had to work on the evening of Valentine's day; so, we had to delay our trip to Bacchanalia until Saturday. It was our first trip there. It may be the best Italian food we have had in the Chicago area since Cafe Borgia left Lansing. The close tables reminded us of Cafe Borgia that is no longer the same quaint restaurant since moving to Munster, Indiana. I had the veal piccata lombardo. It was as good as any that I have had. I have had, however, more pasta choices as my side dish. My wife had the chick Bacchanalia. She loved it, but she took home as much as she ate. We each had the spumoni and the large cannollis for desert. I know two deserts each is a lot, but I encourage it here. Absolutely get reservations. There were lots of Chicago Blackhawks fans here before the game. The service was absolutely fantastic and they did not rush you at all. They have valet parking. Parking on the street can be impossible. We felt safe in this neighborhood.

My friend and I get together for lunch every other month and Pasians is the place to go. A good lunch menu,good service and great prices. The atmosphere is good with plenty of big screen tv's to watch sporting and other show. If you get a chance, want a good lunch, Paisan is the place to go.

Our family of four with two teen boys were out for dinner in Oak Park due to another event near there, and looked for an Italian restaurant. This had great reviews already. We are more great experiences to share. They provided breads with 3 different kids and olive oil with parmasean cheese and 4 olives that were soaked and slight pepper flavor. A great start. We started with the fried calamari and the brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts were Amazing - with lemon and parmasean cheese on top. My son and I then tried the lobster bisque. This was different that most, with a brown color. It was broth based instead of heavy cream, and we both loved it. It was larger than cup for sure also. The best story was when my son commented that the soup only came with 1 toasted piece of bread, and about 30 seconds later the waitress showed up and asked if he'd like a few more pieces of bread to go with the soup. Wow! It's like she read his mind. Then I ordered the Pear pizza, which was very sweet and tasty. I only finished about 1/2 of it. My husband ordered the Margarita and similarly only finished half. Our teen sons, both over 6'3" who usually finish all meals, got the "full" portion size of pasta and both did not finish. Both the shells and the spaghetti bolognese were excellent. We didn't have room for dessert, so we got our leftovers to go.

I've been eating in and ordering delivery from Al's since the 70's! Monday night is half price pizza which makes it even more of a bargain. Calamari is always a favorite. Fried chicken is great. Friendly, courteous delivery people usually bringing food before the promised hour.

Arrived at opening and we were warmly greeted by Roberto. After viewing the menu and given warm bread with olive oil, Roberto answered some menu questions. We ordered and thoroughly enjoyed Gnocchi alla Vodka and Penne Prosciutto e Piselli. Both meals were EXCELLENT and presented well.

This would be great pizza if it were the 1970s, and your other options were Little Caesarâs and Dominos. However, in the 21st Cenrtury, there are so many better options, even among national chains. Visitors to Chicago who feel compelled to try Chicago deep dish will find it here. Just donât confuse it with GOOD pizza. Hi Eric, we are sorry to see you had a disappointing experience with us. We would love to hear from you about this more directly. What could we have done better? Please click the link to fill out the corresponding information. We are looking forward to hearing from you and truly appreciate your patience with us. http://bit.ly/LousCrew Best, Michelle Martinez Lou Malnati's Pizzeria
