Chris AvilaOctober 5, 2014this place is awesome ! ... everybody is super nice, the portions are huge and it's quite affordable, this is your classic neighbourhood restaurant ... no bs here, no hipsters, no foodies just locals
Christina Kurko WilkenSeptember 15, 2012Bruschetta is outstanding and the Cranberry Gorgonzola Salad is amazing. I ordered the small portion of the salad and it was just enough. Very reasonable prices!
Tenielle FitzjarraldJune 10, 2018Farfalle was sooo good! My family loved the crab cake appetizer! Delicious food.
Mark StefkoAugust 21, 2016I had the spaghetti and meatballs. VERY flavorful. Carlos even bought me a beer. Love this place.
Emily Hom-NiciSeptember 28, 2014Cheese garlic bread (on the house for being firsttimers). Tortellini Crema! Farfalle pollo! Chicken parm! All Amazinggggg. Very nice staff.
Simply good. Good food. Good service. Good vibes. Good prices. Been here often. I’ll be back!- Mike WilliamsDecember 31, 2011Get the gnocchi aurora and add the sausage. This is my new favorite comfort food in Chicago! Plus $3.75 Anchor Steam Christmas Ale doesn't hurt either.
Jacob Du PlessisMay 19, 2019I have been at the Pasta Bowl seven years ago and while the venue expanded, this remains a gem! Italian family who cares about good quality, but inexpensive, food!
Everything on the menu is AMAZING. Hearty portions for a small price. The Cranberry Gorgonzola salad is a must to start!- Great atmosphere, great food, great music! The conchiglie gorgonzola is my favorite dish!
Danielle EbsteinMarch 5, 2018Cute divey restaurant, wish I would have eaten here more when I lived in Chicago!

Adam's Antipasto is amazing, as are the pizzas. The Farfalle Pollo is as described; a sure winner
ChristyAugust 4, 2013They make a great Cosmo and the pasta with fresh mozzarella and tomatoes was awesome!
AngelaJanuary 30, 2012Delicious, affordable, and fast. Farfalle Pollo and Gorgonzola pasta are both very good.
Gables MavenMarch 21, 2014The cappellini pomodoro with a glass of Malbec was just what the doctor ordered.
Molly McKennaJune 14, 2011Great iced tea. Monday is lasagna night. Tuesdays wine bottles are half off.- Molly McKennaJune 14, 2011Great iced tea. Monday is lasagna night. Half priced bottles of wine on tuesdays.
Monday is Lasagna night, Tuesday is 1/2 price wine night. Every other night is a good night for farfalle pollo
Chris R (thechristophe)June 16Difficult to find anything on the menu that isn't creamy and/or smothered in cheese. Service a bit of a miss, more like a fast food experience. Avoid.
Efficient, friendly , generous portions , and importantly half priced bottle wine every tuesday ......woooohhhooooo !!
Heidi WolffMarch 22, 2017The tortellini was fantastic and the farfalle was even better! 10/10 would go again.
