BigTab R.N.September 29, 2013Try the crab cakes, which are so unbelievably light and perfectly seasoned. Gnocchi w/ salmon in a cream and tomato sauce is heaven. Their tiramisú is some of the best I've ever had.
Sam WilsonDecember 6, 2013Amazing history and great food. If you go on a slow night, ask your server or the hostess if they would have time to give you a quick tour of the back. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall...
Heather FolsomJune 13, 2016Loved everything we ordered: asparagus appetizer, tortellini, & pasta with cream sauce & prosciutto. The tortellini was unfortunately very small though.
Sarah KehoeDecember 9, 2013The homemade tortellini was to die for! Excellent service, nice for the head chef to stop at the table to ask how everything was too!
ISC ChicagoJuly 7, 2017Linguini Vongole and Calamaretti (Manila clams, baby calamari, garlic and tomatoes broth) is perfect for lunch

Heather RileyJune 29, 2013Timothy the bartender is the best. Also, you'll smell like campfire when you're done. But I like the smell of campfire, so thats ok. The chocolate cake will rock your world. .
Roosevelt CollectionJanuary 10, 2012Did you know Gioco was constructed in 1890 and still has a wooden walk-in cooler that was used by Chicago gangsters like Al Capone and Frank Nitti?
Showtime NetworkApril 1, 2011Quality dining this convenient to the Convention Center?! A location like this would have been perfect for Pope Alexander VI’s post-papal-address meal!- BigTab R.N.September 29, 2013I'm not saying the bathrooms are haunted but they are eerie so I recommend taking someone with you.
Natalie BubaloMay 25, 2011The papperdelle al Ragu di cinghiale and the garganelli are fantastic.. So glad they kept it on the menu.

Tom WolfMarch 2, 2010Order a pizza, the crust is unbelievable and they use just the right combination and quantity of spices.
john thompsonApril 10, 2010The braised lamb shank is orgasmic. Try a pizza for an app. I suggest the formaggio.
