Bongiorno's Italian Deli & Pizzeria

Simply phenomenal. The service was good, but the food was simply sublime. I cannot put into words how good it was other than pure ecstasy. The salad was the perfect blend of mozzarella, tomato, salad, and olive oil that formed a union of flavors for a salad unlike no other. The salad was one of the simplest but best I've had in a while. Now the main course was just beyond what I expected. The perfect blend of soft pasta layers, sticky and savory meats coupled with crimson scrumptious red sauce and topped with fantastic melted cheese bring you straight to flavor town. The tastes, textures, and smells all combine to make the best Italian food I have ever eaten and the best dining experience in a few years. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting Italian. And for their low price tag, it's criminal how underrated the restaurant is. Delicious!

Perfect little neighborhood Italian restaurant with true flavors and ingredients. Reasonable priced with wonderful service by the owners. Nothing fancy here except the quality and comfort. FOLLOW ME for more thoughtful recommendations as I travel the world

Service was great and the food was fantastic!! We had garlic bread with cheese and a pepperoni pizza, both were delicious! We were so full but had to try their gelato and it did not disappoint. It was a tasty treat to finish off the meal. Highly recommend sitting on their patio to enjoy a beautiful evening

The perfect local Italian joint. I was visiting Chicago for the day and my friend recommended I check this place out. Everyone was incredibly friendly! Service was super fast! Pizza came out piping hot! Overall, it was a great experience! I’d recommend checking them out!

Family owned. Great thin crust pizza. The best in town. Located by the Trump hotel. Outdoor seating available. Rolled Eggplant appetizer is so good! Chicken Parm sandwich was just okay. The Caprese Salad is my favorite. Light and refreshing. Reasonably priced. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick , casual bite to eat in Chicago.

Before I get into the review, this place is located inside the River Plaza at 405 N. Wabash. Turn at the River Plaza sign off N. Wabash and follow the sidewalk into the River Plaza building. Stopped by during lunch while visiting Chicago. I've had all the usual deep-dish pizzas and other well-known pizza places in Chicago, so wanted to try someplace different. It was lunchtime during the week, but it was not too crowded. There's about 10 tables both inside and outside, but it was a rainy day so opted for the inside. They don't sell individual slices, but the small 10" pizza is only 4 reasonable slices. Service was very fast and friendly. Ordered the 10" Capricciosa pizza which took about 10-15 minutes to arrive. Pizza was straight out the oven and looked great. Crust was a good thickness, crispy, just the right amount of sauce, and there was a generous amount of ingredients. They also have desserts such as gelato, tiramisu, cannolis, and cookies. I was too full for anything big, so just ordered 2 cookies after another customer recommended them. It was a good recommendation. Nice hidden gem for good pizza. Good food and service.

We stopped in and had ravioli and gnocchi and then HAD to go back two days later for more pasta! Amazing service both days by Elizabeth!! When in Chicago I would highly recommend this little hidden gem!

Owned & Operated by sisters Dee & Liz, this Italian Lunch & Dinner spot is an absolute staple for any Downtown Chicago regulars. Superb Pizza, Excellent sandwiches, and there is PLENTY more to look forward to every time you walk in those doors. Rustica Pizza & Chicken Parm sandwich are my favorites. Next on the list to try Stuffed Gnocchi, THE LASAGNA on a rainy day is what Dee suggested, and their Vodka Sauce. You have to go into this place and enjoy one of the best seats for Lunch or Dinner in the city! Gelato Counter, Espresso & Cookies... Dee & Liz will not disappoint! The entire staff is great, they are kind and hospitable. We cannot wait for their Patio to open this summer! Thanks for all you do Dee, Liz & Team!

Got the Silvio E Gabriele pizza. The arugula and prosciutto are pop'n. The pizza crush is nice and thin and crunchy. better than the lasagna that is marketed as Deep Dish. Will be back to try more.

Prime definition of a hidden gem. Our family found the restaurant on Google maps and we were very pleased with everything. The food was very savory, we were told the sauces are made in house daily. The place is small but it adds to the homey vibe of the place, including all the memorabilia at the entrance of the restaurant. The prices were very accommodating, nothing of what you would expect with dining in downtown Chicago. The service was attentive and friendly. Upon finishing our meals, we were all surprised that none of us asked for to-go boxes and that's a first!
