Viaggio Ristorante & Lounge

And all around outstanding experience at this spot in the heart of the West Loop. Feels more contemporary in this locale versus the previous one further down Madison. Food, service and atmosphere are all top-notch. Not cheap but you get plenty of food for the money and the vibe is very warm friendly and energetic. Parking can be a challenge but I would not let it deter a visit.

Some of the best pasta I’ve had in my ENTIRE life! Bruschetta was amazing! The tortellini was sheer perfection. The vodka sauce with Italian crumbles is so warm and filling. To finish, the most delicious, moist chocolate cake plus tiramisu we’ve ever had! Eating them together is sheer bliss! Omg, just so amazing. Thank you to our waiter Marco, truly an amazing human being with refined taste and people skills. I will be back very soon.

We went to this place mid October. Parking was available for this area of town. Service was top of the line. Everyone was helpful and did what was expected of a superb Italian restaurant. The food was delicious. We ordered an appetizer, the fried mozzarella along with some classic bowls, and nothing short of a fine meal. Our kids loved the ravioli and the area was well set.

We were planning to go to a nearby restaurant, but we were blown away by Viaggio. The service at the bar was great, the wine lift was respectable and reasonably priced, and the food was excellent; far exceeding expectations. The sausage and peppers was authentic and delicious, with an excellent crust and sauce. The veal in the veal Marsala was EXTREMELY tender, and the dish was hot, with great seasoning and pepper levels. I also appreciated that they had gluten free penne for the meal. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed Saturday dinner and there was great energy in the restaurant.

Everything was so great, so happy we came here for one of our dinners while visiting Chicago. The wait staff was all extra attentive and personable. The food was stellar. We got the bruschetta to start and for main courses, I got the Chicken Parmesan and my partner got one of their specials, a lobster filled ravioli with shrimp. We loved everything about our visit here. Would highly recommend!
