They served everyone at the same time with soup, chicken, bread, and dessert. Impressive. The food was good. The swordfighting was a little long, and the horse show was a little short. There was a plot, but I could not understand much of what was said. You pay a premium price for this show and like Disney they have so many things my grandkids just had to have. Shock! My grandkids were aged 5, 7, and 11. All of them were entertained, and no fighting. That is a success in my mind.

Also, their merch game is strong, making it easy to spend even more money beyond the tickets. The food was plentiful, and as a vegetarian, I felt well accommodated. All items were kid-friendly, especially the chicken and corn, and the entertainment kept our kiddos immersed for the couple of hours we were there. Definitely would check this out once, but be ready to spend money beyond what you paid for the tickets!

Let's get the logistics out of the way. Plenty of parking. Entrance is in the back (more on that). Dress is casual, but dressing up like 1920's gangsters would add to the fun. This place is great for groups or large families. Plan on spending about 3 hours for dinner and the show. Recommendation: Get there a little before 6:00 and line up at the back door (that is where the entrance is). At 6:00, use the big, brass knocker and knock on the door. Then, when Gloves comes to the door, whisper "I am here to make a deposit." "Gloves" is super fun, so play this up. No other spoilers so you can enjoy the show. Food. We had the steak, and it was delish! Perfectly done at medium rare and full of flavor. Loved the mixed vegetables and baked potato, too. The rolls and salad were average. Cocktails. Great selection of fun, themed cocktails. Look for "Al's Favorite" on the chalk board at the bar and on the top of the cocktail menu. All four drinks we had were great. Mugsy makes some good giggle juice. Service. EXCELLENT. The team is talented, and they work hard to serve you while putting on the show. They stayed in character the whole time, and the jokes were FANtastic! Finally. RELAX and ENJOY the show. I have not smiled and laughed that much since the Nate Betgatze show at Bridgestone at Christmas. Vito and his team are simply FABULOUS and FUN! This gets a MUST DO if in the Chicago area. Definitely a Siskel and Ebert "Two Thumbs Up." Now, make your reservation and get "the rest of the story" at Vito's Vault.

A live pianist plays popular Roarin' '20s hits on a gran piana. Vito hisself is a wunnerful host. We saw him assisting a customer in a wheelchair. A hoodlum he's not! Evidently da kitchen was short-staffed dat day, as some of our group had a long wait for entrees. But da food was delicious and duh comedy skits was hilarious. Later, Gloves was nowhere to be seen. I peeped into da kitchen and dere he was, wearin' yellow kitchen gloves and washin' dishes. I reckon dat's why dey call him "Gloves!"

I…read morecontacted this company to help me throw a surprise party for my wife, and it couldn't have gone better. I already had a restaurant reserved, and one of the great things about this company is that you get to choose your own location--you're not stuck with a preset venue. They arrived early to get everything set up and were totally ready when it was time for the big surprise with our family and friends. After my wife nearly fainted (LOL), the party kicked off right away. All the characters are played by people you choose, which made for a ton of participation--and luckily, my friends and family are all a little nuts, so they totally went for it. The 1920s theme was super fun, and the folks I picked to be the "victims" really hammed it up. The company provided scripts for the key players and gave great direction to keep things moving. It never felt awkward or confusing--they were right there to guide things along, so no one felt lost. It was absolutely hilarious watching my friends and family try their hand at acting. I'll 100% be reaching out to this company again if the chance comes up. You should too!!

This is surely one of Chicago's best-kept dining and entertainment secrets (it's in a rather…read moreobscure location). It's basically a cabaret - a combination of fine dining and interactive Cirque Du Soleil-style entertainment in an intimate setting. The elaborate décor will blow your mind. It's absolutely gorgeous. The quality of the food far surpassed typical dinner theatre fare. Each of the four courses was artfully plated, served at the proper temperature, and downright delicious. The goat cheese bell pepper scones app was more of an amuse bouche than a true course and no other bread was served (unless you order Parkerhouse rolls, an à la carte add-on that costs $16. Indeed!). After that, though, portions were ample. The bourbon peached glazed salmon entrée, plated with inventive side dishes, was perfection. Other à la carte dishes and entrée upgrades are available but no one in our party felt the need to order those. The service was impeccable. Variety acts were interspersed between courses - singers, dancers, a juggler, a comedian, an aerialist, and more. There was a lot of talent but it was comic actor Joe who stole the show, portraying several roles. Totally enjoyable and well worth the ticket price.

Where fine dining meets standing ovations…read more Dinner and a show? More like a showstopper of a dinner Our 4-course meal at Teatro Zinzanni Chicago was pure magic from the first bite to the final dessert. Each course felt like its own act, full of flavor, flair, and a little drama in all the best ways. Between the incredible food, the laughter, and the over-the-top performances, it was an experience you taste and feel. We started with warm, buttery rolls, upgraded to the rosemary fries (because how could we not?!), and skipped the salad to save room for the main event. For entrées, we had the salmon and the chicken both tender, flavorful, and beautifully plated. And then came dessert... we couldn't resist upgrading to the maple pumpkin cheesecake It was creamy, rich, and the perfect fall bite (not pictured, but definitely unforgettable). Vodka sodas kept us company all night long Between the laughs, the talent, the beautiful ambiance and perfect service, and the incredible food, it was one of those nights that felt like a standing ovation from start to finish.Because at Zinzanni, dinner isn't just served -- it's performed.

The inside has a fun, Hawaiian vibe that also is reflected in the drink and food menu. The music playing took you away from grey, cold Chicago which was exactly what we all needed! Our group ordered a wide variety of drinks as well as some appetizers to share. Our favorite drinks were the Pearl City Passion, Zombie, Pama Coco Delight, and Tiki Mai Tai. We loved the fun glasses and umbrellas that a lot of the drinks had. The drinks weren't overly acidic, sweet, nor tart. They were very balanced in flavor profiles which I appreciated. For food, we got the Taro Chips, Egg Rolls (half veg & half pork), Kid Kalua Pork Sliders, and all of our personal favorite... the Furikake Fries. You cannot go wrong ordering any of these to share! Highly recommend this spot when looking for a tiki bar in the Chicagoland area.

I was quite pleased with my experience from start to finish as this met my expectations at all levels. Parking here isn't super difficult, as there is parking on either side of the theater -- though not directly in front of the theater. Lines moved quickly and prices for concessions were not too bad, with a bit more than the usual options of food. Though I wish that there were washrooms for both genders on both ends of the theater, the theater itself is fortunately small enough that this isn't a huge issue even if you are in the theater furthest away from your restroom. In terms of seating, the recliners were super comfortable and generously sized. Even after watching a nearly 3 hour movie, I was completely relaxed and in no rush to get out of the seat. Previews for the movie did feel a bit shorter than normal (like around 10 minutes), so do make sure you show up close to show time. The audio and video quality was alright, though not the highest end that I've seen -- but also much better than expected given the pricing. Overall, it's worth going here if you live in the area. Despite the lower than normal pricing, you're getting a good quality experience without any real drawbacks. There's also a considerable number of dining options around the town center and around Milwaukee Avenue that are great to try after your movie.
