Bacchanalia - Chicago

This charming little Italian restaurant features a bar at the front and a dining area in the back. The staff was friendly, though they could have been a bit more attentive. I really enjoyed the food, especially the delicious marinara sauce! I tried the tiramisu for the first time, but unfortunately, I didn’t care for it. It had a very strong coffee flavor that reminded me of black coffee. Additionally, their website claims they can accommodate special requests, but when I asked for angel hair pasta instead of spaghetti, my request was denied.

I had the chicken special, and it was absolutely delicious! We also ordered the clams as an appetizer, and they were quite good. However, the service was a bit slow; we spent about two hours there and didn’t even get to have coffee or dessert after our meal.

I've been dining at this cozy restaurant for over 34 years, and every single visit has been a wonderful experience. The food remains exceptional, and they serve the best chicken Vesuvio in the city. Food: 5/5

This is a fantastic restaurant with delicious food and excellent service. Val is such a lovely person. My only minor issue is that the martinis could use a stronger shake to get those little bits of ice on top. I will definitely return! Food: 5/5

?? Bacchanalia is a quaint and cozy Italian restaurant in Chicago's Little Italy neighborhood. I had a wonderful dining experience there with my family. The service was fast and friendly, the portions were generous and the prices were reasonable. The menu had a variety of dishes to choose from, but I decided to go with the lasagna, which was possibly the best lasagna I've ever had. It was rich, cheesy and flavorful, with layers of pasta, meat sauce and cheese. It was baked to perfection and served piping hot. I savored every bite of it. The restaurant also has a full bar and a nice wine selection. The atmosphere was lively and fun, with Italian music playing in the background. Bacchanalia is a great place to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine and experience the culture of Little Italy. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Italian food and wants to have a memorable meal.
