Very average- there's so many other great Italian restaurants to go to in the area. It took over an hour and a half to get our entrees and they were all very average. The prices were expensive for how mediocre the food was. The wine pours were also very small. Just overall okay and definitely not worth the price. Go literally anywhere else read more

Taylor the bartender is exquisite . She knows everything , even for me , an absolute wine connoisseur. She just adds to the top tier ambiance in this place. This place is run by the most amazing people too. 10/10 recommend read more

Sadly the food wasn't what we expected, we didn't enjoy any of our pasta. I'd be willing to try it again because the service and ambiance was great, Italian music playing, low light, we went for our anniversary so it dampened the night but if they'd have us back to change our mind, we'd go. read more

Prosecco - Carbonara - Italian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Came here for my boyfriends early birthday dinner after seeing one of my favorite Chicago food reviewers on tiktok rave about this place. We came with two friends & did make a reservation about a week beforehand. We ordered everything to be eaten "family style", started with the meatball & burrata which was delicious. One giant meatball for $18 is kind of insane though! We also ordered the full portion of the bolognese ($29) & the carbonara ($27), the Parmesan crusted chicken ($27), the 16oz aged prime ribeye ($61 which was probably my favorite thing it was so good & soft, the crust on it was amazing), grilled asparagus ($12 my boyfriend wanted this & said it was very good), & fingerling potatoes ($10 these were on the salty side but very good went yummy with the steak). The service overall was hit & miss, they were pretty good with refilling the water but they forgot our carbonara so it came out much MUCH later than everything else plus it looked like we got the smaller portion when we ordered the full potion so we asked someone & they agreed it did look small for a full so they went to go talk to someone but someone else came back & tried to assure us that it was the full portion & that they weigh the pasta but we were all still unsure since the full order of the bolognese was much more, sharing that was perfect but sharing the carbonara everyone got a very small portion. After trying it though we weren't upset anymore bc it was all of our least favorite thing of the night which was disappointing since it was what we were all looking forward to the most haha. There were some cooked egg pieces in there which carbonara is definitely not supposed to have. They brought out limoncellos for everyone for my boyfriends birthday which was nice! We ordered three desserts, the flourless chocolate cake, butter cake, & tiramisu. Butter cake was the best thing it was so good, the tiramisu I could taste alcohol in there which I personally didn't like I like a more strong coffee/espresso flavor but it was my best friends favorite dessert out of the three. None of us liked the flourless chocolate cake though it was just way too rich & chocolate-y for us, even for my chocolate loving best friend who ordered it. Also for my girls, when I went the bathroom was exceptionally clean & honestly beautiful in there, definitely one of the better bathrooms I've been to in a long time haha. Overall, we did have a good dinner here I just wished the service could've been a bit better like maybe offered to take a portion of the carbonara off our bill since they forgot it & it took so dang long. read more

An amazing, yet unpretentious Italian eatery located near north side. First impressions are key and the staff are above stellar with respect to how accommodating and personable they are. However -- let us move on to the amazing decor. Elegant and uplifting without being ostentatious. The skylight in the back room is a nice touch. Then the food . . . well, I'll let the picture speak for itself. The Tartufate pasta on the right is so amazingly creamy and delicious wirhout being heavy in the slightest. And the Ribeye. . . oh the Ribeye. Let the picture speak for itself. Literally the best steak I've ever eaten. Better than any steakhouse in NYC (yea, you, Peter Luger's). read more

I came here with a small group for restaurant week, as this place has been on my list for a while. The ambiance is beautiful for this smaller river north restaurant, and the service was attentive but extremely slow. I was disappointed that our complimentary prosecco was but a teeny splash. The complimentary bread was tasty with the salsa type spread, but I would have liked olive oil as well. I got the hugo drink, which was very refreshing with my meal. For my first course, I got the insalata della casa, which was tasty and fresh. I tried my boyfriend's meatball, which was delicious. I got the salmon entree from the $48 menu- the salmon itself was delicious and tenderly cooked, but I didn't like the lentils with the dish. My boyfriend's risotto was not good and was salty with little beef in proportion to the rice. For dessert, I got the limoncello, which was way too teeny. My boyfriend's flourless chocolate cake was also teeny but rich and decadent like fudge; but everyone agreed the tiramisu was the best deal. Overall, this place was not worth it for the restaurant week menus. I wouldn't mind coming back for the happy hour deals or trying out a pasta from their regular menu, but the dishes we had on the restaurant week menu were mediocre and not worth the price, ambiance, or service. read more

The Quick: $10 pasta dishes on happy hour! Plus all their Prosecco and drinks are half-off during happy hour... Absolutely go. The Truffle pasta was delicious. The Details: The inside is gorgeous, there's even a large back area for a big group. Very classy and definitely frequency by businesspeople / dates / fun girls night out. The staff is also very knowledgeable about the different drinks, so ask questions and learn something new! PS: don't you jut love the name??? The Damage: I've only been for happy hour but it was extremely reasonable. read more

Prosecco - Truffle pasta on happy hour - Italian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Food was excellent, nice ambiance , but service was way too slow for our party of 8. It took over an hour for us to get drinks and to actually start placing our food order. read more

Got food poisoning, my pasta was crunchy and undercooked, linguine and clams had a strong foul fish odor, another seafood dish had the same odor, all the bread pieces were different shapes and kinds as if it was leftovers from another persons table, drinks made incorrectly, and our bill totaled to over $800. Our waiter was nice atleast. Place is very dark inside and hard to read the menu. Only reason why we didn't complain to our waiter from the start was because it was a Saturday evening, and they were hosting a surprise engagement party in the back. I completely understand that. But ending up with food poisoning afterwards is where we has to draw the line. I went back to look at reviews and noticed i wasnt the only one with food poisoning/ having drinks made incorrectly, and the pasta being unedible. It was our first time here, celebrating a graduation, but unfortunately we won't be returning. read more

Looking for amazing Italian food, and/or a place to celebrate an anniversary? You HAVE to try Prosecco. We mentioned it was our anniversary weekend and they treated us like royalty! A toast of champagne, shots of their limoncello to celebrate, and a sweet note on our dessert. The food is amazing! Homemade fresh pasta, amazing appetizers, decadent desserts from scratch -- you can't go wrong. The service was amazing and helpful, and honestly so kind. Just an amazing experience. We wish we came here for our actual anniversary dinner and we're sad Chicago is 8 hours away, otherwise we'd be here every week. Thank you Prosecco for an amazing dinner. read more

Came here with fam and friends recently. As a disclaimer, I will say that I'm Italian so I have high standards for Italian food. The ambience in the restaurant is fun, upscale and was decorated nicely for the holidays. I almost never have anything bad to say about service workers because I know how hard the job is, but I will say our server was not friendly and quite rude. The wait is also long- we waited at least an hour for food. In terms of food, our appetizers and salads were nothing special or memorable. The entrees were great, though I will say I've had better Italian both in Chicago and other cities. Prices range from 20s-30s for entrees and ~$15 for salads and apps. They give a good amount of food though, so worth the price. Overall, a solid place but not overly memorable for me. read more

Large, varied menu with plenty of elevated options for those interested in truffles. It's a shame, baffling, even, that this restaurant isn't mentioned in the same conversation as some of the other high-end Italian restaurants in Chicago. read more

So excited to try. We arrived at 8:45PM. We were informed by the host that they close the kitchen at 9. The website should state they close at 9 not 10 read more

Prosecco is a pretty good Italian spot in River North. I do find it to be on the expensive side for what it is but you are also paying for location. Bufala - Good but overpriced. $19 for a mozzarella ball, a few slices of prosciutto and tomatoes. Tartufate - One of their more popular items, solid dish Linguine/clam pasta - This was one of their specials for the day, it was really good, probably my favorite item Nice ambiance for a date night but I think you can get equally as good Italian food on the north side for a better price! read more

I'm a huge fan of Prosecco! It's rare that every single dish I order is a 10/10 but that was the case here. Everything from the burratta to the rigatoni was delish! It's a small and cozy restaurant that is perfect for a date night or girls night dinner! Excited to add this restaurant to my list of favorites for Italian food downtown. read more

Absolutely the best food I've had in Chicago. Great location and amazing atmosphere. They have a great selection of fine wine and cocktails served by an engaging staff. The menu is varied, but not overwhelming. If you want to impress someone without overpaying for your evening, this is the place for you. (Frequent traveler from out of town). read more

The food here is absolutely terrible. It didn't used to be this bad. I went two nights in a row, hoping that maybe I had just gotten an off night or an off dish. No. Every dish I got was absolutely atrocious, the first dish was so heavy in garlic as to make it practically inedible. The next dish I got was a carbonara which was a tasteless disgusting glop. Look at the picture I have posted of the "carbonara" and then do a google image search of "carbonara" and tell me if you think the dish I ate bears any resemblance to what carbonara is supposed to be. It is very disappointing at just how terrible and disgusting the food has gotten here. Two stars instead of one because the people who served me were very nice. read more

Prosecco - Disgusting glop billed as "carbonara" - Italian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Cool interior, mediocre food, bad service. Literally didn't even see a waiter for the first 30 mins we were there and they didn't give us a cocktail menu to order drinks. Food itself was overall mediocre - a few hits but mostly not memorable. Burrata and meatball were good, the rest was fine but nothing to write home about. Small portions so order a few. Pastas could use a bit of extra salt to bring out the flavors and were lackluster compared to other Italian places in the city. read more

Discovered Prosecco on OpenTable and saw it was a must try. The food was excellent, I loved how their were portion size options and many tea options. Everything was delicious from the eggplant parm, rigatoni, and seafood pasta! Our server Christian was very attentive and service was great. read more

Tried Prosecco for the first time and really liked it! I liked the complimentary bread with all the dips/fixin's. For the main entree I tried the salmon and the trofie pasta with chicken (on the specials menu) and both were excellent! The sauce in the pasta was super light but flavorful and the salmon was cooked perfectly. Really happy with my meal. I like their outdoor seating, although there is limited space and you may end up with a wobbly table, and the interior is beautiful as well. I thought their wine by the glass menu was a bit limited, given the namesake, but that's such a minor issue. Overall I recommend! read more

Favorite place for while, food is sometimes amazing sometimes it's good never average! Drink mixes are average most of the time but I'm there for food so it doesn't bother us. We enjoy this restaurant all the time, except yesterday we had dinner outside and our server seems to be judgmental and in some way rude, he was on top of his orders just seems like he is forced to do his job or have no interest to be there. Not the first time we have this server and not the first time we notice this behavior so wanted to point it out, it could be us or it's just him, I'm not sure but that's the only off putting experience we had at Prosecco. read more

Cozy and romantic atmosphere. Intimate and candle lit lighting. Delicious food, flexible menu, great service. Definitely not overrated.

So delicious!! You have to get the Tartufate. The sauce is incredible. I got the carbonara and it was good but I tired the tartufate and it was way better. Also the bread service is nice and comes with a little tomato dip read more

We came here for a company dinner. We were attending a convention in town and one of our vendors took us here for dinner. Our vendor made reservations which was a must for a party out size. We had a group of 16. I love the coat check when you arrive and the area we were seated was semi private. Our server was friendly and prompt. The appetizers came out quickly. Loved the moscato we ordered several bottles. And several sides in addition to our meals. Main entrees did take a bit to come but it was worth the wait. Great experience! read more

It's a comfortable and has a neighborhood feel. We stopped for drinks and appetizers with friends. They brought a glass of Prosecco to start. It's a great menu, but we only had a few appetizers. We started with the Buratta and then the Bufala, Buffalo Mozzarella and tomatoes. The killer was the Avocado with lobster and prawns. We've been there for dinner and enjoy the menu. read more

My best friend and I went to prosecco this weekend to enjoy a lovely girls night. When we were first seated it was at the opposite side of the restaurant, the table was a bit wobbly and chairs were uncomfortable so we asked to be moved. After about 15 -20min we were moved to a different table, I wish they would've switched us sooner as the table was right across from us and it seated 4 ppl as well. However ,The service was good overall. We ordered the Burrata , it came with peaches , cherries and toasted pistachios and the sausage stuffed bacon wrapped dates. Both appetizers were good , I wish the dates were a larger portion as the appetizer only has 3 dates for $15. For our entrees we had the salmon and the frutti di Mare. The salmon was fresh and a my best friend really enjoyed it. The frutti di mare was a huge portion and it had everything you could want ! It had squid ink pasta with spicy marinara, octopus, salmon , shrimp , squid and mussels. For dessert we had the ricotta cheesecake which did not disappoint ! We had prosecco , Chardonnay and the Amalfi for drinks and they all complimented the meal extremely well. All in all the meal was delicious and filling . I honestly can say I would love to return to taste the rest of their menu ! read more

Best Italian restaurant in Chicago. If they have the sausage wrapped in bacon and dates as a special don't miss it.

I wish there was a way for me to tell more people just how amazing this place is. This is the second time my fiancé and I have been here for a special event and I couldn't wait to come back. This time we celebrated our anniversary and it was perfect. We had the same server as last time (Christian H.) and he is wonderful! So funny and quirky and always willing to talk to you about menu items. Of course we were given a complimentary glass of Prosecco and even offered a special menu that said "happy anniversary" on the top of it. So sweet. We started with the antipasto of prosciutto, cured tomatoes and burrata. Definitely one of the best appetizers we've ever had. The burrata literally melts in your mouth. I entertained the idea of getting something different this time but had to go with the Tartufate - it's notorious here and it's amazing! My fiancé went with the Norcina. They were both to die for. You HAVE to come here for their pasta. Sooooo much better than many other hyped up Italian restaurants in Chicago. Even the bread they give you before your meal is incredible, it comes with grated Parmesan, olive oil and some kind of yummy compote of tomatoes and I believe golden raisins. Seriously. So. Good. Romantic atmosphere, great service & phenomenal pasta. You just can't go wrong here. read more

If I could give less stars I would. I came here with my friends for a birthday and they were not able to accommodate a 12 person party. It took 40 minutes to get our first round of drinks, then 2 more hours to get our food which at that point we were trying to cancel. The manager came out being so rude trying to blame it on us and then came back out saying "sorry I'm scicilian". Would never come back. AWFUL read more

WOWIE. How come I have never been here before?! Our friend who leaves nearby Prosecco in river north raves about this spot- and they weren't lying! THIS IS SOME OF THE BEST PASTA IVE HAD IN CHICAGO.

Peter Gabriel once proclaimed that "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway," and at Prosecco the lamb is pretty good. But here, pretty good isn't just limited to the lamb, it also applies to other foods like the meatball and the bread among others. Be sure to get there for the early bird special so you can be in bed by 8. 5 stars read more

Celebrated my bro's bday here last night in the cutest little private room which was perfect for our family! My dad likes a quiet dinner, and it was nice we could all hear each other. The atmosphere was obviously very intimate, and we loved the redesign! The old decor was old fashioned luxury, and the new decor is very hip, sleek and fun. Be sure to check out the wallpaper in the bathrooms! As for the food, we started off with some apps, and my absolutely fave dish was the burrata and peaches. Holy smokes was the burrata fresh! It was a delicious starter. We also started with complimentary prosecco (how fitting!) and ended up getting a bottle for the table. For our mains, everyone chose differently. Some people did pasta, some people (aka me) did fish. The whitefish was huge and perfectly cooked; it was my first time having fish here (I usually go with pasta). The fish was buttery and did not disappoint. All in all, this is a fabulous spot for a celebration! read more
