La Pizza & La Pasta

not only will they completely forget about your order. not only will others who arrived later after you get their food before you. not only will it take 1 hour for your food to arrive. but when your food finally comes, it has not a shred of protein in it. The salad looks like a Walmart salad with a few shreds of cheese. The spaghetti came with no meat. the ravioli also came with no meat. these are their "lunch specials". we left a 50-cent tip but even that felt like too much.

We visited La Pizza & La Pasta at Eataly recently, and unfortunately the experience was far from satisfactory. To start with the positive: the pizza was genuinely good and reasonably priced. However, the truffle pasta was a major disappointment. For the exorbitant price, we expected something special, but what we got was a dish with no protein at all and little to justify the cost. The service was, frankly, the worst part of the evening. We were left unattended for a long time, while a couple who arrived after us was served immediately. Once our food finally arrived, our server never returned to check in or see if we needed anything else. She only reappeared when it was time to pay and that interaction was uncomfortable at best. She hovered extremely close to the card machine, staring at the screen while we entered the tip, even looking directly at my husband as he typed the amount. It felt invasive and unprofessional. We tipped 15%, but honestly, we regretted it. Overall, this was not a good experience, and the poor service overshadowed the few positive aspects of the meal. I highly recommend going elsewhere.

Food is hit or miss. Recommended: Branzino a la Livornese, was very good on each occasion. Pizza is good too. Pasta was bland (several occasions). Service is on the poorer side. They forget dishes (and then take forever to fix), some servers pick their own tips so you can't tip less than 20% (rude for them to do and not a restaurant rule, just what some do). Atmosphere is relaxed, so that part is good. Overall, a mid experience, but not bad.

I want to thank our server who saved us from eating meat. We ordered romana bruschetta thinking it’s vegetarian but had meat potions. Thankyou so much. Inspite of being in a busy eataly departmental store , this place is in the corner away from the hustle bustle of shoppers. We couldn’t find any without egg pastry or cake or any dessert so our graduation celebration was incomplete.

Delicious! Ordered the fettuccine alfredo (made in a cheese wheel table side) and the Prosciutto E Burrata pizza, both wonderful. Will definitely be back next time visiting Chicago.

We had a business dinner for 40 people. Everything was EXCELLENT: food, service, timing, space, and signage for our party. Laura and Team were easy to work with and very attentive. I think every single attendee enjoyed every minute! Very well done. I will definitely return personally and be professionally.

Our request for a window table was honored and it was a lovely view. The Napoli fixed price menu was a wonderful option as were the related wine selections. Loved everything! Buon appetito!

The staff was very understanding that I didn't understand a lot of the menu lol but I ordered from what I knew and loved it! The focaccia bread was so soft and delicious. The pasta was perfect!

In preparing for my recent visit to Chicago, I'd made reservations (because I had no idea how crowded this place might get - I'd never been to one before) for dinner at La Pizza & La Pasta one night (after our architecture center tour on the river). My travel buddy and I arrived early for dinner, but there were only a couple other folks in the restaurant (Wednesday night a bit before 8pm) and so it wasn't a problem for us to get a table (and the reservation definitely wasn't needed - though I'm not sure about how busy it is other days of the week). Once given a small table (note: I had asked for a booth on my OpenTable reservation, and we didn't get one - and while it wasn't a big deal, it still would have been nice), the service was pleasant and attentive, and the general ambience of La Pizza & La Pasta was nice enough. We ordered drinks, an appetizer to share, and each of us ordered a pizza. Nothing from our meal ended up being especially memorable... not for the $160+ (including tip) amount that we ended up paying for the dinner... but it was fine (and we took leftovers back to the hotel that we ended up having for breakfast the next morning). We didn't order dessert from the restaurant because apparently they don't offer desserts to go? At least not the pistachio cannolis (which we had both been hoping for). The server did note that we could get pre-made pistachio cannolis from the dessert counter in the downstairs market area; unfortunately, once we got down there, we were told they don't offer cannolis after 8pm (even though plenty of other desserts are available for purchase). It was a bit odd, honestly... but we ended up asking for dessert recommendations from the folks at the counter and purchased those. TL;DR Decent experience, though nothing that makes it especially memorable. Prices feel a bit high for food that I could get at most other restaurants focusing on Italian-style cuisine. Feeling the brunt of escalating costs, perhaps?

We had gone into La Pizza & La Pasta on the 2nd floor of Eataly for lunch. They had a fixe prixe menu for the week, so we ordered from there. We ordered arancini and bruschetta Siciliana for antipasti and Tagliolini verdi al pecorino e limone and gnocchi in arrabiata sauce in main course. The ricotta on the bruschetta was fantastic. Besides this the tagliolini was refreshing. I usually like more heat, and hence the gnocchi was a little flat for me. Also, not the biggest fan of Arancini. Finally we had taken a cocktail with the food - Under the Sicilian Sun. Absolutely loved it. Service was prompt. Overall a decent experience.

Dinner at La Pizza & La Pasta in Eataly Chicago reminded me of my last visit to Rome, Italy in 2003. All of the dishes I ordered were recommended by an Italian colleague over text, and they did not disappoint. I began with the Focaccia con Pesto, which was warm, airy, and full of fresh basil flavor. For my main course, I had the Tonnarelli ai Gamberi, made with squid ink pasta and tender shrimp in a bright, briny seafood sauce that brought back vivid memories of authentic Roman cuisine. After that, I enjoyed the Fritto Misto, a crisp and delicate mix of zucchini, carrots, calamari, shrimp, and scallops. The scallops were a bit flappy and fell apart easily, but everything tasted fresh and was fried with a light hand, reminding me of Italian-style tempura. I decided to skip the traditional cannolo and tiramisu and instead ended the meal with a citrusy lemon dessert that transported me straight to Amalfi. Service by the waitstaff was a little busy and rushed, likely due to the evening crowd, but what made the experience more personal was sitting right in front of the open kitchen. The chef was directly in front of me, and we had a brief but fun conversation about how intense the heat from the kitchen radiated toward my seat. She was very cool and friendly, and I genuinely enjoyed watching her work--there was something satisfying about seeing my food cooked right in front of me with skill and focus. Overall, it was a vibrant, nostalgic, and thoroughly enjoyable Italian dining experience in the heart of Chicago.

Unfortunately my experience wasn't the best. I thought it was cool how we had to find the restaurant (it was nestled behind the grocery area). We were also sat immediately. It took our server a while to come (it was only us and one other party in the restaurant). The pizza was just okay (mine was wrong both times it came out) but the problem lies in the service. "Security" came over to tell us the restaurant was closing as we were noticeably paying our tabs. Once we told management how rude she was, the manager dismissed my friends complaint and asked why we didn't tip (which each of us did). Unfortunately our excitement was ceased due to the rudeness. We won't be back.

We were seated right at our reservation time. They mentioned to us when we ordered, items would be brought to the table as they are prepared. Everything came out quickly and was delicious. The kids pizza was the first item out, and SO fast, which worked wonderfully because the kids needed food! The fettuccine Alfredo was prepared table side, in a wheel of Parmesan Reggiano. All pasta was made fresh and you could taste it. My husband ordered the Ravioli and there was crispy basil on top, that just melted in your mouth!

This used to be a great spot but for about a year or so the pizza is not as good as I remember. It's thinner than before and not as flavorful. The calamari has also been different and very greasy. Service has always been solid. The restaurant is big but at time it does fills up. Recommend making reservations if you decide to dine here. The prices are high compared to other Italian restaurants around so expect to drop a pretty coin on average quality food.

Restaurant inside Eataly. The food is okay, but overpriced. We were seated immediately and our staff were nice. Started with the calamari fritte e zuchinne. The calamari had a nice crunch and a good chewy bounce to it. The zucchini was a bit too floppy becuz they chose the thinnest pieces, but had great flavor regardless! Both pair well with the lemon aioli. The pizza cupido was heart shaped Napoleon style. The toppings and sauces were unevenly spread, but pretty good. My fav was the fettucine al burro Di tartufo e parmigiano (cheese wheel pasta). However, at $32, not worth. They didn't light the pasta wheel, and it was barely coated in any cheese from the wheel. Regardless, I LOVED the rich cheesy flavor and heavy notes of cream.

I have very mixed feelings about this place, i've came here a handful of times. I came in dinner with my boyfriend recently, the wait was 30 minutes for a table. While we waited we did some shopping, they have really good wine selections but almost everything now is a little on the pricey side which wouldn't be an issue if they ran that place properly. The first time I came was back in December 2024 which was great, but everything now keeps getting so disappointing. When our seats were ready we weren't actually sat at a table we were sat at an extremely awkward bar in front of the pasta line. It was super hot and there was barely enough space for our food. The food was  good, service was okay, however there seems to be issues with management/staff.  We were charged for a focaccia that didn't arrive, it took our server about 15 minutes after us noticing to get a hold of a manager. We also heard other staff asking around for a manager and we didn't see one either until the very end. Our server apologized for holding us up but it seems like the manager didn't have enough courtesy to apologize as well, ultimately keeping us waiting for as his fault. We like the food, but the dining experience keeps getting worse.

This is such a fun place. I love coming here you grocery shop buy things you can eat pizza downstairs grab a coffee and a dessert or go upstairs and have dinner at one of their three restaurants. If you have little kids, you should go to La pizza and pasta. They have a menu. The only thing that I would say is they should have a kids cup for children. They don't have any beverages for kids. All they have is. small glass cups they had a plastic to go cup with their straws don't fit so a beverage for children under six would be great, but they did provide a coloring page which was really fantastic.

First off, our server was amazing! Truly the kindest person and she was really easy to talk to. She made the experience much more enjoyable. I got the fettuccine Alfredo, and I'm so pleased with the quality and taste of the dish. It gets prepared tableside in the Parmesan wheel, which is exciting to see. The food also came out relatively quick after ordering. But not only that, you wouldn't believe the taste based on the minimal ingredients they use! The quality is impeccable. The area is sectioned off from the grocery area, so if you are looking for a more formal dining experience this may not be your go to. However, I would recommend checking it out at least once! You will not be disappointed.

I'm going to start by saying I'm biased, because for me nothing is better than salad, pizza and pasta with a good glass of red wine. If that's your food go to... then this is the place for you! Our server was friendly and helpful, checking in on us often. The food was delicious. The restaurant is on the top floor of eataly, easy to find, warm and welcoming and very casual. It's a great place to go to unwind.

Great meal and enjoyed shopping drinking wine and taking in all that Eataly has to offer BRAVO!!!

Excellent food, fast service, and flawless hospitality! We had a wonderful time at Eataly and truly enjoyed the atmosphere. Highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to experience authentic Italian flavors in Chicago!

La Pizza & La Pasta is a solid option if you're already at Eataly & looking for something classic. The ingredients are high quality, & everything is made traditionally, but overall, the food is just good--not great. The pomodoro pasta is simple & fresh, but there are definitely better options in the area if you're looking for standout Italian. That said, if you're in the mood for something reliable & convenient, it's still a nice spot with a lively atmosphere.

Overall: 3.6 Service: 4 Food: 4 Value: 3 Entree: Rigatoni All'Amatriciana This is what you'd expect from a restaurant in an Eataly. Kind of like an upscale foodcourt. The guanciale and pasta were cooked perfectly but the sauce was a bit soupy and lacking any bold flavor.

Always a great spot for pizza. The Margherita and fungi pizzas are both spectacular. This is Neapolitan-style pizza, so if you're looking for deep dish, this isn't the place. They have great Italian non-alcoholic drinks and beautiful wine options. Service is always fast and friendly. I highly recommend making a reservation, and of course, do a little shopping in Eataly's storefront on your way out. Salute!

Thankfully planned ahead and made a reservation because this restaurant definitely gets busy. Price wise it's aligned with what you'd expect from River North. I think the menu is pretty expansive and very traditionally Italian so give yourself a little bit of time to read thru everything. Definitely don't skip on the Italian sodas, the blood orange one was delicious. Plates are a little smaller so don't expect a large family style pasta option.

I literally don't even know where to start. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. It's absolutely filthy. Food on the floor, no soap in the bathrooms just gross. The service is horrible: the food meh and way overpriced. I am unsure how a salad could be bland...the pizza was fine but not hot. It was room temperature and our food didn't come out at the same time. Just an awful experience. The restaurant needs to be cleaned from top to bottom and they need a hospitality overhaul

All I can say is, Yep. Oh yeah. Give me more. If you're looking for a cheap, Italian chain restaurant where they'll bring you three pounds of uninspired pasta and breadsticks, this probably isn't the best place to come. What you'll get here is a well curated menu that features several hand-crafted pasta dishes and specialties. The service was great, and you can't beat the ambiance. It's located inside Eataly in Chicago, where you're literally surrounded by a tsunami of Italian smells and flavors. I'm already formulating a plan to call-in sick at work, just so I can go back.

Great service and friendly staff from the moment we checked in with the hostess. We were early but they had a table and sat us. We shared two appetizers then 2 pasta for 3 people and was just enough food. I recommend doing family style to be able to try more items off the menu. Our server made recommendations and constantly checked on us. Overall great spot to get pastas and shop for some authentic Italy ingredients on your way out.

We were impressed by the service provided by Damien (?sp) and our server, Ruben G. Damien went out if his way to ensure we were seated at a table of our choice and returned several times to make sure we had everything we needed. Ruben G was very warm and knowledgeable when helping us make selections from the menu and ensuring all of our service needs were met. The margarita pizza was outstanding, reminding us of the flavors from Italy and the pasta outstanding. We enjoyed everything down to the tiramisu and coffees. Our thanks!

I have been to La Pizza and La Pasta a handful of times, but I will never be going again because of the terrible, and frankly racist treatment the members of our party experienced. Our group of eight had friends visiting from Japan and we thought it would be a fun experience to take them to dine in Eataly; we were sorely mistaken. The server we had seemed immediately irritated that we had such a large party even though we reserved ahead and would have a guaranteed gratuity because of the size of our group. She rarely visited our table and was visibly impatient and irritated when we spent time translating the menu for our friends. She was literally tapping my friend on the shoulder to hurry him along with his order when it was obvious he was translating for his partner. The restaurant didn't even have half the tables filled, yet she couldn't grace us with an ounce of patience or tolerance when our international friends needed a minute to understand or had a question. They stopped ordering altogether after the main course because of the server's attitude towards them. She was so busy having an attitude that she also forgot to ring in one of our courses and didn't even realize it until the rest of the table was almost done eating. She had to be pulled over more than once to refill our waters. At the same time, she was consistently visiting her other table of one (a white woman), talking for multiple minutes, refilling water, and had a completely different disposition. She also didn't know the menu. My partner and I wanted to share a cannoli, but the server lied about them being small so that we would order two. They were completely normal sized cannolis and we could have split one. She had no idea about portion sizes and would say "I don't know, it's however the kitchen decides to do it today" when asked about any specifics. Clauida R's obvious dismissal of us was offensive, and it was clear at the end that she never intended to treat us like we mattered. At the very least, I wish our party didn't have a built-in "gratuity" because I'm frustrated that we were forced to paid her $50 to be racist toward us. She knew it, too. She said to just skip over tipping since it was already included because she KNEW that her treatment of us would not gain her any additional gratuity. Finally, the food has gotten quite overpriced the last few times I've visited. They charge fine dining prices for a food court environment and service. For a similar price point, you can have actual fine dining somewhere else. I would suggest Tuscany for anyone who wants authentic Italian for a similar price. They have lovely multilingual servers who are kind, attentive, and lively. They will applaud you for being bi or trilingual instead of shoving you along and shunning your table. Not to mention, the food is better!

Is it loud? Yes. Is it packed? Yes. Is the service rushed? Also yes. But is the food absolutely amazing. Duh! Perfectly al dente pasta and crispy, juicy chicken milanese you just can't get anywhere else. Paired with unique cocktails and a plethora of Italian wines, go for the food. It's worth it.

A most disappointing meal. We started with bruschetta which was OK, except the bread was rubbery, not crispy that bruschetta usually comes on. Pasta putanesca was flavorless. We have had it in many other restaurants and it was always spicy full of olives, capers, anchovies and nice tomato sauce. One at this restaurant was very mild, four little half cherry tomatoes, 3 tiny black olives and 3 capers. No hint of anchovies. We will not be coming back.

Ordered the Arugula salad which they somehow forgot about since it was served 15min after we got our pasta. It seemed like they sprinkled a ton of salt all over it. Was not able to eat it at all

Having visited to the other Eataly locations (LA, New York, and Boston), I really wanted to try its Chicago counterpart. Unfortunately, my experience fell short this time. I can't find a better word to describe it other than "MEH". Firstly, my friend and I had to wait over 10 minutes after we got seated for a server to greet us. Second, when the food came, both our pastas were undercooked. Not to mention, the presentation of my ravioli looks awful. It looked like someone just threw a dollop of cream on my plate and sent it off. Service was MEH, food was MEH, and sadly it made both our stomach felt MEH. Eataly is usually a favorite, but I'd skip the Chicago location.

3.5 stars After having other Italian restaurants in the area, Eataly really didn't leave much of a (good) impression. We made a reservation on a Sunday night for 7 pm. We got the fried calamari to start. This was fine. The portion was not that large. Probably 1/3 zucchini and 2/3 calamari. I actually quite enjoyed the zucchini and the lemon aioli was very flavorful. Although there was a lot more breading than actual squid. For mains... Rigatoni alla carbonara: Pasta was perfectly al dente, but THE SALT. IT WAS SO SALTY. Guanciale is obviously naturally salty, but my first bite was just pasta alone. It tasted like if the chef accidentally put 1 tablespoon of salt instead of 1 teaspoon of salt. The salt + cheese + guanciale made the dish extremely hard to eat. Pappardelle alla fungi: best flavor out of the three pastas, but the worst plating. For a nice place, this dish was plopped messily on a dish that didn't match the rest of our pasta dishes. It literally looked slapped onto the plate and brought out. There were multiple types of mushrooms and had a well-profiled flavor. Linguini alla scoglio: we had to send this dish back. This pasta wasn't just al dente, it tasted like it was barely cooked. It took quite a bit of back and forth with the waiter to convince him that it literally tasted like we were eating parboiled pasta. It was so tough and hard to chew. There was a nice seafood flavor to the dish. It must've been straight out of the sea because there was actual sand in the mussels and clams. There was a good amount of seafood though.

Inside Eataly I asked were could I get a good pasta dish and I was directed upstairs to La Pizza & La Pasta. It's been awhile since I've been to an fine Italian restaurant besides Olive Garden, lol, so I thought my food was amazing. The waiter was very helpful with selecting an entree from the menu. I ordered the "Lo Spaghetto al Pomodoro" with added stracciatella. Stracciatella is like a fine almost liquid mozzarella cheese. The soft cheese placed on top of it all just kind of oozed across the hot pasta and melded well with everything. The pasta was fresh and al dente. The tomato sauce was robust and full of flavor. I used the complimentary Italian bread to soak up some of the delicious red sauce. I could only imagine how great it would be to have lunch in Italy. This was just the type of dish I had a craving for! I wanted to try an aperitivi cocktail and wanted something fruity. The Italian Punch was recommended by the waiter and I enjoyed this moderately sweet light fizzy beverage as well. It had the taste of orange and pineapple juice mixed with Italian soda. Since I loved my food, I could easily have the same thing again or try something with a white cream sauce.

Stopped in for a solo lunch on a Thursday. Had the pepperoni pizza and some kind of spritzer. Pizza was good! The lemon aid spritzer was sooo good! Restaurant is upstairs. Service & Food were prompt and delish!

We were a group of 15 college friends out for a long overdue rendezvous. The Eataly team, Vince, GM, Brian our fabulous server, and Laura from the events team made our evening easy to coordinate. The atmosphere was great for a large group -- the service and food a delight. We will be back!

This pizza & pasta place located inside of Eataly was so delicious!!!! We went on a Saturday night with no reservation and were pleasantly surprised when they were able to seat us right away. The service was great and our food came out really fast. They brought out complimentary bread right away that was served with olive oil. The bread was soooo fresh, it was hard not to keep eating. My favorite thing was the Cavolo Nero salad. It had kale, shaved bressel sprouts, golden raisins and bread crumbs. What made it so good was the dressing though. I wish I knew what was in it, so I could recreate it at home. It made the whole salad. Even my mom liked it and she doesn't like vegetables. Our pizzas were great too! Neapolitan is my favorite style of pizza, so I had a feeling I was going to be a fan. The dough was just as fresh as the bread and super soft on the inside. Loved that the Verduretta was topped with a ton of veggies and not overly cheesy. I will be back to try more things!!!

Only the freshest ingredients will do! Many of the items used in this restaurant or flown in daily from Italy. Service is wonderful and reservations are available as well as walk-ins. We were lucky enough to be exceeded mid afternoon in the middle of the week. The restaurant is exceptionally clean and set up for a casual dining experience. We were able to relax and enjoy a clear view into the pizza prep area as well as to the outside. The burrata was excellent along with the margarita pizzas. The. Espresso will certainly put some pep backing to your engine! A highly recommended destination to enjoy a real taste of Italy.

Our food was great and service even better. Thanks Jessica!! also for the help on recommendations

Pasta was good, the bruschetta with peas was AMAZING! Would come back for just that and a glass of wine or cocktail. La Pizza & La Pasta felt different and separate from the other restaurant concept at Eataly, which was nice. More casual vibes for a weekday meal.

Jessica Y was our server this afternoon for lunch and it was the MOST amazing experience ever. She walked us through the menu and talked with us about her experience working here. She came to our table at perfect times and always came with what we needed. Jessica is so kind and was very helpful with everything we asked for. Definitely will come back and request to have her as our server/bartender. The food was amazing. The flavors were on point and the drinks were delicious. The scenery here was beautiful, clean tables and floors, and the market downstairs is laid out beautifully. Will be coming back here soon.

Best past i ever had besides my Nona's my fettuccine was creamy saucy cheesy it was perfect you know it's good when even Nona likes it

Came to EATALY for a light bite after work and our experience was fantastic. The food was absolutely amazing and our server Jose gave us a great insight into the variety of menu options available, giving us loads of recommendations. Service was fantastic from Jose and our food came out so quickly. We will definitely dine here again!

Our inability to find the takeout pizza slices located on the first floor led us to this restaurant. Service was fine. We were served by a nice younger gentleman who was friendly, answered any questions we had, and asked us about our thoughts on the dishes we got after our meal. The food itself left much to desire. I'm all for thin crust, but the crust of the pizza here was so flimsy that the toppings kept sliding off the pizza. Pizza arrived at the table lukewarm. Toppings were scarce and a bit dried up (esp the meat on our Carnivora pizza). I was confused by the one or two shriveled up basil leaves that were scattered on our pizzas. Flavor of the pizzas was not robust and very forgettable, considering these were supposed to be craft pizzas. Also bothered me that there wasn't cheese/red pepper flakes or oil/balsamic on the table. We had to ask for these items from the waitstaff and it took a while for them to bring it to us. I asked for balsamic from the staff and it never arrived at the table. I would skip this restaurant and get the pizza downstairs!!

We stopped into La Pizza & La Pasta at Eataly Chicago for lunch and simply loved the experience. The carb-focused café was housed on the second floor of the Italian market with prime views of eager shoppers and gourmet browsers. The prices were certainly high for lunch, but we were paying for the experience, as well as the cuisine. While we waited for our meal, which took quite a while to arrive, we championed through several baskets of crusty bread and fragrant olive oil. Once the food arrived, I found my Penne alla Norma spectacular! The dry pasta had been transformed into an al dente masterpiece topped with a hearty sauce of eggplant and Mutti Tomatoes. The dish was topped with basil and shredded ricotta salata. It was very fresh and bright. La Pizza & La Pasta was an adorable space that was located in a supermarket, but was also remarkably able to make us feel like we were dining on a street in Italy.

AMAZING food and service. Will definitely dine there again. They also make one of the top 5 old fashioned's I've ever had.

This fulfilled our Parmesan cheese wheel pasta fix! Service was on point and no wait on a Saturday afternoon.

Was a variety of foods to try from. Service was extremely slow when we went. Took forever for our drink order and for us to order food. The food came out one by one about 15 mins in between eat. We had to share it family style so one wasn't just watching while the other one was eating. Service 1/5 Usually don't rate this but it was just that bad. Burrata and prosciutto 5/5 So good. Melts in your mouth Toast and tomatoes 5/5 Good crunch and flavor. Ravioli 3/5 This was okay to me. My friends enjoyed it tho. Lasagna 5/5 Good portion and lots of meat. Super soft and delicious. Spaghetti cacio e Pepe 2/5 It wasn't my type of pasta. The noodles were thick and chewy but it prob is just me. Spicy salami pizza 4/5 Very tasty pizza. Little salami pieces. The pizza was small and thin. Sauce was flavorful. Mushroom pizza 4/5 Really good sauce flavor. Pizza was thin also and small.

I've been to the other Eataly places (Vegas and CA), but this was by far my favorite. Our server, Elliott was a true gem. We just followed his recommendations and it did not disappoint! If you have no idea what to get, just ask your server! Yum-Yum!!!

Let's get this straight, the food was easily the best part of the dining experience. It sets the bar high for Italian food. What was missing throughout the evening was good service, hence the rating. It took 10 minutes to get water and then we had to ask around for a server to assist us. We had to request napkins and extra utensils. It was a letdown. I would give this spot a second chance for the food alone, the one saving grace.

Tagliatelle Bolognese is my jam. I wasn't really hungry when we arrived because of a big lunch, but when that plate was placed in front of me, I couldn't resist. It was SO good. No leftovers for me that night. Prior to that though, we came in without a reservation and somehow were seated at an open table with just enough room for the seven of us. Thank you for that! Service was prompt and friendly all night. I like how they advise you on the menu which pasta is made fresh and which is premade. It makes a difference in your mouth and is just something extra nice to be aware of as you're ordering.

[Eataly La Pizza & La Pasta ] Italian Marketplace, restaurant, cafe, etc with many different locations but this was the Chicago location. Carpaccio Di Manzo which features raw beef but didn't even taste like raw meat, hard to describe but it melted down smoothly Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese which was honestly good the meat and sauce with the handmade pasta however the pasta was a little undercooked so it was a bit hard so definitely tell the chefs to cook a bit longer next time La Pizza & La Pasta: 43 E Ohio St Chicago, IL 60611

Yep toursity..and it feels a bit run down and needs a face lift ...the tables, the atmosphere is almost too casual for the prices and the food quality is decent but not elevated for the $. I do love the store parts!

Aries provided such fast service. He made great recommendations. We loved everything. Thank you!
