Legno by Suparossa

We booked their private room for a Surprise Engagement Proposal, and the space was perfect! Their staff is amazing and accommodating and worked with us to ensure the surprise went according to plan. The food is delicious and everyone had a blast. Definitely recommend for private events

Service was great. Outside area was nice. Food was not great. Gnocchi was store bought, bread was dry, meatballs bland

Great pizza, good selection of drinks, excellent salads, no screaming children to ruin a date. The only thing that's majorly lacking is their music - basically a 70s and 80s playlist mix - like the fast food of music. One time they played some kind of contemporary country music and I told the waitress we won't be coming anymore. She assured us that she already had a conversation with the owner about that (because she can't take it anymore either), and that they won't play it anymore. I'd come here much more often if they played good, interesting music.

Food and service were both awesome! Portion sizes are big enough for left overs (at least the pasta dishes). Cocktails were great! Went on a Wednesday evening for dinner and walked in without a reservation and were seated right away. Parking is available in their lot across the street. Definitely recommend!

Great place for dinner. Super staff, they were accomdating to our family. The bruscetta was delicious. I had the baked gnocchi and that was good. Wine and beer menu was great too. I would eat here again.

First time here, to celebrate my dear friend's Birthday. From the appetizers to the drinks and dessert, everything I picked was absolutely 💯 and so delicious 😋. You must at least try it once. The atmosphere was a delight, from the hostess to the waiters. Everyone was so kind and helpful. Will come again. To drink I had Oh L'Amour my dish was the Diavolo Sopressata pizza 🔥 🔥 Delicioso 😋

Legno is nice. I enjoyed the live music on Friday night. I stopped in for a few drinks and the porcini mushroom risotto (recommended). The manhattan was a little bitter for my liking, but the service and overall atmosphere made the experience enjoyable.

I think it's good but not great. Fresh ingredients but some dishes under seasoning. Really good brussels sprouts and grilled calamari. Brussels sprouts was perfectly cook and Calamari so tender and well seasoning. Main course I got Pan seared Walleye pike and gnocchi sorrentina Both are good but a little off on flavor. Cocktails also decent as well. I don't like 1792 bourbon for old fashion but I like High maintenance. Good services and plenty of street parking.

Legno is a neighborhood gem! Whether it's take out or dine in, their food delivers well. Picked up spaghetti and veal meatballs with broccolini and bread and it was all still hot and fresh when we got home. Dined in and had the chicken piccata with a side of parm risotto and that was tasty! The Mac and cheese is like no other. Other items we enjoy here is the Cesar salad with chicken and diovolo pizza!

My family and I like coming here. Beautiful aesthetic. Great service. Great portions and flavor. This restaurant has outdoor seating and has a bar area and dine in area. Perfect for a date for family outing!

Kids took me here for Mother's Day I ordered avocado toast, and the plate vas not altered, except I lifted two over easy eggs to see where the avocados were! O pretty much needed a magnifying glass to find it! Maybe a 1/4 of an avocado on there . I mean, picture is worth a million bucks! I thought this was a prank, or hidden camera; for real! When I told waiters o actually ordered avocado toast, she looked at me and said; you don't like it? What's wrong with it!? I told her that's no avocado toast at all, she said; oh, it's a new thing on the menu! I was like; please tell them to take it off the menu asap. I'm still in shock. Even the rest of the veggies and fruits looked stale. I've ordered Mediterranean salad and that was a ok. We've been here many times, and always enjoyed it, but this last time it was kind of disappointing. Perhaps, under new management or new chef. No bueno!

Food was just not that well. The meatball at its base is very bland. Burger was good but the sauces on top are conflicting. Potato's could be served with some cream of some sorts to break up all of the savory flavor

Food was very good, came here for a party. Appetizers were refillable for parties, so very good deal. The calamari was very crispy. Entrees were not free refills for parties, but the pasta was very good. The restaurant has a dark wood theme to it. It is very modern and nice. Bathrooms are very clean. The staff was very accommodating to our party and would make lighthearted conversation with our guests. Overall, would come back here again!

On this night we chose Legno for dinner and what a great choice! We have been to Legno's numerous times before, it's just right we review as one of my faves. The place is beautifully done, with dark woods and a warm decor. They have a very well stocked bar, great menu, a private event room and even their own microbrewery. As we walked in, we immediately heard the local artist singing some lovely tunes. It was so nice to be serenaded while enjoying a beautiful meal. The food was amazing as usual. Fresh and tasty high quality ingredients made every meal smooth and delightful. We ordered the Chicken Parm, Legno Mac n Cheese and the Barbecue ribs. The Chicken as well balanced and moist. The Mac was plentiful and full of flavor. The ribs were a full slab, ball off the bone and delicious. It came with home made potatoes fries. Simply delicious! I ordered a Flying Dog Gonzo to pair it all and chased that with some shared Crème Brûlée since we were full from the meal. Over all, we had a great meal, with a great serenade at a beautiful place. Highly recommend it and if you want music, come by on a Friday. See you here!

This is our go to neighborhood place. The food is fantastic. Portions are large. Super tasty. Their specials are great. The bread is ultra fresh. Service is great - we have gotten to know many of their waiters who have been there several years. The space is bright and open. Not loud. Great beer and liquor selection.

Love this place. This was our first time, & we will be bed back. Wonderful food, wonderful service.

Legno offers weeknight daily specials and a happy hour from 5-6pm. The red sangria included in the happy hour was great, sweet and fruity very refreshing! The charcuterie board appetizer came with a nice variety of cheeses, meats, and 4 huge pieces of garlic crostini. For entrees we had jumbo steak & shrimp, parmesan risotto, and the mista salad with chicken. The risotto was AMAZING. Super decadent, cheesey buttery and velvety. Highly recommend! The mista salad was fresh and the chicken breast on it was seasoned well/very juicy. The steak was a little bland, but the shrimp was excellent. The mashed potatoes were homemade from real potatoes and the grilled asparagus was also well seasoned. Service was also great! Melissa took excellent care of us and had great recommendations about the menu.

While searching for Mac and cheese around the area we can across Legno, and the meal overall was great! The Mac was a large portion with breadcrumbs, and a creaminess that blended well with a spiral noodle for a tasty bite of food. We also had a Caesar salad with the mussels in white wine sauce. The mussels were excellent and a delicious choice. The salad and mussels paired very well for dinner with a sauv blanc wine. I think we will visit again soon!

Excellent place! They had live music on Friday nights and the food is absolutely delicious. Also a great place for Brunch

Chicken and Waffles and bottomless mimosas? Sign me up for the perfect Sunday brunch I've walked past this place for years, but finally stopped by this past weekend. Very enjoyable experience, would have loved to sit outside but the street was pretty loud. Inside is gorgeous though, so can't complain. They have a pizza oven in the back, and their pastas looked amazing, so will be coming back to try their dinner menu!

I absolutely love the lasagna at this restaurant! I haven't been there in years but whenever anyone asks me about where to find good lasagna I always recommend this place. It is a hidden gem.

I should start off by saying that we came out to Legno with Suparossa pizza in mind. And we did have thoroughly enjoy some of the best pizza, both pan and thin crust, in the city. Both Pepperoni and the sausage are delicious and the crust is heavenly. I should add that the cheese they use is obviously premium and was the perfect compliment to the pizzas other ingredients. However, we ordered from the Legno menu as well. We chose the calamari and arancini as appetizers. Holy Hell! The arancini were excellent! I cannot recommend them enough. You can taste the fresh ingredients and care taken making them authentic Italian. After that we jumped into one of the best fettuccine Alfredo dishes that I have had anywhere. I had to bribe my daughter to share more than a couple bites with me. I ordered the gnocchi which, again, was delicious. The Italian sausage was spot on in flavor and texture, the gravy (sauce), had hint of spice without taking away from the other flavors. The service was excellent and the drinks were strong! My family of four will be making the trek out here again soon. Legno has earned a spot in our favorites places to eat list!

Had the Fettucini Alfredo DELICIOUS with chicken and had the 8 finger vodka pasta. BOTH I THOUGHT WERE REALLY GOOD. Would definitely order either one of these pastas again. Overall positive experience also had some sangria that was tasty as well. only wishh teh serving sizes were slightly bigger so had more to bring home.

You got a nice place bar restaurant and event holder. Parking across the street. Hardworking staff who made all accommodations for our family celebration. It was a perfect place. The meals were delicious looking. Mine I can say it was delicious everything.

Not what it used to be. "Chicken" and waffles - not good. The chicken is a thin patty and dry. Come on Levon! The chicken is supposed to be juicy fried chicken! Meatball sandwich - flavorless. Ordered a margherita pizza, no basil and mushrooms tasted vinegary and the texture was as if they they came out of a can. They claim they weren't from a can but I beg to differ. Closest place for Italian. Womp. Won't be going back.

These guys host a retirement party for us every year. Been great to work with. Staff is friendly and management is accommodating and reasonable.

This was my first time at Legno. I tried the Mac and Cheese and the Angel Hair Pasta. Both were outstanding! For desert I had the Tiramisu and it was also fantastic. The waiter was quick to refill my table's drinks as well. I'd definitely come back here!

I am living my life now! After my best friends and I completed getting out Covid-19 vaccines, we decided to finally get together for brunch and to come to a place where social distancing is a must, this was the perfect place. Out table was perfect and maybe one other couple 15 feet away from our table is the perfect place to be. I got the pasta with lobster and I must admit this is the dish! It was absolutley perfectly seasoned and just an awesome portion. enough of course to take half of it home. This portion was defintely enough for two to share. But ill have lunch now for tomorrow. So I can admit, way more food for one! Also had one of the best bloody Mary's! Fully loaded with celery stick, olives, wedge of lemon and lime and a nicely done bacon slice, oh and a shrimp! I highly recommend this spit for some Brunch. It's really a safe way to come back to society.

Food was good, but the service was pretty slow for a place that was not packed. The pizza came out cold. They gave us the specials menu and when we tried to order from it, the waitress took it back and said they weren't offering them anymore.

Had a great experience last night at Legno in Portage Park. We arrived and were seated right away due to having a reservation. The four of us split the arancini which is sicilian style arborio rice balls stuffed with parmesan, ground beef and english peas. I wasn't expected there to be ground beef and peas inside as I've always had them with just cheese but they were pretty good. We all got one ball as they come with four For my main entree, my friend and I split the fiorentina pizza, fresh spinach, mozzarella, aged parmesan and ricotta cheese, garlic, extra virgin olive oil and angel hair pasta. I 100% recommend the angel hair pasta over the pizza because it was AMAZING! I absolutely loved the pasta and wish I lived in Chicago so I could have it more often.

Great spot for bottomless brunch! Staff is very attentive, but does not rush you. They keep the mimosas flowing and the food is good! Unlike many places nowadays they do not over charge for the mimosas! I always recommend this restaurant for both brunch and dinner!

Service good and great food. Very nice environment and good music. Very nice time on Mothers Day.

Can not praise Ben, Pedro and the Legno staff enough for going above and beyond to make my daughters shower an unforgettable evening. Pizza, appetizers, drinks and atmosphere were to die for. Guests had plenty of food, free parking and live music at a price that could not be beat. Thank you for a job well done.

We've been coming to Legno for about four years now. It's pretty much our Friday night go to. Staff is amazingly attentive and their suggestions are helpful. They make a mean martini and the specials are always top notch. Flatbread pizzas, lobster Mac n cheese, spicy polenta..it's all good. My favorite by far is the short ribs, falls apart and is juicy every time. Legno never disappoints.

I love supporting my neighborhood restaurants and was excited to finally get to try Legno. The first time, we were too late and the kitchen was already closed. The second time, we made a reservation but they were actually closed. Well, third time's a charm! We ordered the grilled calamari, Tartufo pizza, and a burger. I would have given a 2-star rating if I base my review solely on the pizza - it was too doughy and flavorless, made it super difficult to eat. The grilled calamari however was excellent, which sort of redeemed the night. The burger was so-so... nothing outstanding about it, but it was not bad. I am on the fence whether I would come back again. On one hand, it has a lively neighborhood vibe and decent service; on the other hand, food is really nothing to write home about.

After 3 years I came back. Believe or not , I wanted to rate the restaurant with the same grade I gave them 3 years ago. Nothing has changed. Service is top notch but the food is still below average. This time tried burrata $ prosciutto as an appetiser and then prosciutto pizza. disappointed with both. :-( even though I like how the place looks, I definitely don't like their food.

This place is one of my favorite local restaurants. Their food is yummy and the service is friendly.

The pizzas here are thin and soft, the crusts are warm and chewy - which is a good change every now and then. If you're wanting a crispy or firm thin crust - this won't be your jam. There's a convenient parking lot across the street but be careful, the folks tend to drive fast on Central Avenue. The restaurant itself is spacious and newer, with a bar area on one side and a dining area on the other. If you sit in a booth, you will get a lot of traffic because it's close to the kitchen but it's comfortable. There are a few flatscreens for football. As for the service, not the friendliest but it's no nonsense. This last visit, we were practically the only diners, the other tables were finished eating. Despite that, we waited 25 minutes for our first pizza (thin, not deep dish) and it came to us room temperature? The other two came shortly thereafter and warm, which is a good thing.

Food and service has been top quality each and every time we've been there. Thank you Arturo!

Bottomless mimosas for $15. You just can't beat that! The brunch is always delicious as well. My suggestion if you want a faster brunch experience is to either sit at the bar or at the high tops in the bar area. Although, the wait service at the table isn't bad we just prefer the more personable experience by sitting near the bar.

Love the food my favorite place to go get brunch and mimosas. Good vibes friendly staff(:

Well balanced sauce. Tasty and tender chicken w fresh mozzarella. So good I took home leftovers and ate it for breakfast the next morning. I would recommend a pepper mill for the bread and Caesar salad instead of a regular shaker. Good atmosphere.

Service was terrible. We had a 5:00 o'clock reservation and left after waiting 3 HOURS for our meals we never received. Horrible! We are so upset! Never going back again!

Everything arrived warm after pick up. Salmon side should have had more broccoli. Lobster Mac and cheese was tasty but more lobster would be nice. Chicken was tasty and moist. First try at this place. La Villa is better in my opinion

Have been here 3 times and ordered a few more times. This is my go for for Mac N Cheese and Risotto. The Sausage has sage in it which is a huge plus for me, the gnocchi and lasagna are also top notch.

Great place- good service and food. Easy for large parties. The have a bottomless mimosa package on the weekend if your looking to stretch the dollar.

Was seated and was ignored for 20 minutes . Then waitress came over and told us " the bartender sent me over here to take care of you guys ". So we left. Very disappointed. They weren't busy , and that makes sense.

Love this place, great food!! 3 stars for service though, it seems they are understaffed, the last couple of times I came service has been very slow. I took my GF tonight, our server had not only the tables in front of the bar however was also the bar tender and assisted outside. Do your staff the favor and put another server on for the Friday night dinner rush. She had to ask for our drink order a couple of times and we had to do most our ordering from the bar itself. Oh! Warn people that the Mediterranean salad has olives WITH PITS!!!! Found out the hard way.

Ordered deep dish spinach pizza, Italian sausage and chicken fingers with side of potato wedges. Pizza was good. Unfortunately the potato wedges and chicken fingers were so over done. Chicken inedible dry super crunchy. The potato wedges resembled chocolate so dark and unappealing, dry too. Maybe will order pizza again. NOT ANYTHING ELSE.

Legno has been one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants for many years and actually still is. But I have to address the fact that I had a very disappointing experience food wise recently. I almost always order the same menu item, Chicken Limone. It is usually delicious. On my most recent order this past Saturday, I received two pieces of dried tasteless chicken that seemed to have been microwaved. Not even one slice of lemon was even placed on the dish and with very little sauce. I should have immediately sent the dish back but didn't, which was my mistake. Not sure what is happening in the kitchen but this is definitely below the standards that Legno has had in the past. I will be back and yes, I will give the Chicken Limone another try, hoping that this was just a one time glitch in the kitchen. Now if I was a first time customer and was served this dish, I would probably not return. Keeping my fingers crossed that things improve next time.

Jimmy is the man ! The food is amazing and the service is even better . I hope the manager or the person in charge sees this , I dont post reviews at all but I have to do this one to thank Jimmy for making us feel comfortable and happy whenever we come to the place . Plus he made my 9 months kid to wave bye for the first time . Keep the up the good work brother

I called just now for Sunday Brunch the person who answered was stand offish . I Rather Go somewhere else. That's the way he made me feel

Ended up stopping at Legno when my original stop for dinner turned out to be closed for dining. I had driven by this place many times, so it was an easy decision to give it a try. Sat at the bar where Nick was working and asked for a menu. A good sized beer collection along with a large variety of alcoholic possibilities were on shelves before me. Thumbs up on this. I opted for a Maplewood Nitro Beer on draft and it proved to be a good choice. The menu had decent variety, though scaled down due to Covid times. I decided to try the Diavolo Sopressata pizza. Good choice - the right amount of "zip" to it and cooked just as I like it - not overly burnt. Hit the spot. As I was perusing the beverage offerings, I saw what I thought to be a Grand Marnier VSOP behind the "standard" Grand Marnier bottle on the back bar. Turned out to be a bottle of Grand Marnier 100 - a premium version at $27 / glass. Being in the mood for a polished after dinner drink and having never tried this type of "GraMa" I ordered one. Awesome choice - smooth and flavorful. Also had a great time and good conversation with Nick - he had a fair number of specialty drinks being ordered and it was interesting as he conjured up one after the other. I've said this before and I'll say it again - most any restaurant can make good food nowadays - the difference is in the staff. Absolutely the case here - I had a nice night out and much of it was due to the bar banter. I'll definitely be back!

Love their food: pizza, calamari, pasta is all delicious. It's the most authentic quality food I've found that will deliver to me. So if you are looking for real Italian from Italy, it might suffice.

Been sitting on this review for a while just to make sure it's really consistently this good and it sure is. I've had dinner here, several Happy Hours and now Brunch and I've got nothing but raves on all of it. Portion sizes at dinner are huge and delicious. I've had seafood pasta that was pure perfection for dinner plus a leftovers lunch. My husband had a perfectly cooked filet he's still talking about. Thursday happy hour has the most delicious oysters for $1.50 each that you're likely to find anywhere. Their huge selection of salads is amazing and the side salad is the size most people serve as the big salad. Their soppressata wood fired pizza is fabulous and they make a mean spicy Bloody Mary with a big ole shrimp skewered in it for Brunch. Legno is my favorite neighborhood restaurant in Portage Park so far. It's modern with rustic touches and beautiful inside, service is always on point and they have their own parking lot directly across the street. We're treated warmly here and you may find us at the bar on Thursday afternoons with a whole tray of oysters in front of us!

A random stop in while driving through Portage Park turned out to be a fortuitous one! Saw the large parking lot, the "Italian" and "Gastropub" signage and before I knew it we were pulling in. Won't be the last time. Great space, huge menu, solid selection of craft beers and wine, terrific happy hour offerings (who doesn't like half price bottles of wine, for example), daily specials and very tasty food. Do yourself a favor and order the prosciutto wrapped dates with goat cheese. Go ahead, you'll thank me. And a choice of both fried or grilled calamari? Shows it's not poured out of a freezer bag. Tasted great. My wife had a seafood pasta dish and it was superb. I went with the special Filet Mignon. I know, took a big risk ordering that in an Italian gastropub. But I'm telling you it was cooked to perfection, fork tender and the near equivalent of the same offering at Capital Grille or Ruthe's Chris. You scoff - I hear you - but it was incredible. Might only have been a one night deal but I'd order it again if I ever see it. Yum. We will be back. Many times.

I ordered both the fiorentina and margherita pizza. The Fiorentina was very good, the Margherita wasn't the best margherita pizza I had. It was okay it had a sweet taste to it, i wouldn't order that one again. The Fiorentina was my favorite of the two. I would say one pizza could feed 2/3 people.
