Just hopped in here to say thanks for this rec.


No problem! Zarella is a good option, in general, but especially so for those that want thin crust and don't want to leave The Loop / River North. They also have a cocktail bar in there.

What’s everyone’s favorite Italian in the city? Level of dining doesn’t matter, just some good ole Italian


For those checking this thread and visiting Chicago in the future,
my great aunt lived to be 97 and her favorite Italian restaurant was Cucina Biagio. It was 5 minutes from her house in the Belmont Terrace / Irving Woods suburbs. She celebrated her birthday @ CB every year, and I've eaten there a half dozen times. If in the area, it's worth the dine in.

One of the bartenders at our favorite cocktail bar in Logan Square has a significant other that probably made your drinks at Arbella
It was a tallish guy medium build with a beanie on and forearm tattoos. He was friendly and gave good recommendations on the old fashioneds and comped 2 drinks for us cause he accidentally made extra. Lol
