Martin SlusarzFebruary 20, 2016Warm atmosphere in this place!! In business for almost 40 years. Food choices a plenty and quality excellent - authentic Italian food like Grandma made. Prices totally reasonable/service outstanding!
Serious EatsApril 7, 2016Sabatino's has quite the Italian charm with drifting musicians, dim lighting, and tuxedoed servers. The vibe is complete with authentic Italian dishes from the Chicken Vesuvio to their Baked Alaska. Read more
Alix RecordJanuary 25, 2016Pasta is Not over cooked💃🏼. Wine list is great. Garlic is plentiful. Tiramisu is real and homemade shrimp, veal and beef are all wonderful. Service has always been above average when I was there
ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014Its Irving Park neighborhood has changed over the years, but the huge portions, generous wine pours and jovial staff (many still speaking with a discernable accent of the motherland) remain. Read more
- Serious EatsAugust 9, 2013Classic Chicago joint serves solid Italian-American dishes, but most people visit for the old school charm and roving musicians.
Time Out ChicagoApril 6, 2012Shrimp De Jonghe is fresh, ricotta-filled gnocchi in meat sauce won’t disappoint, and the New York strip is seasoned only with salt and pepper before hitting the grill for a spot-on medium rare. Read more
Dana TedescoAugust 11, 2013Their meat sauce is out of this world delicious & creamy! Order in the homemade ravioli or even on top of the cheesy pizza bread! Tasty!- Time Out ChicagoNovember 2, 2011Couples should snag a booth, the perfect spot for sipping a bottle of Chianti and enjoying signature cheesy garlic bread. Ricotta-filled manicotti and gnocchi in meat sauce won’t disappoint. Read more
Rosie CruzJune 3, 2014The oysters Rockefeller, delicious, first time I had them, and I think is the best meal I could have this week, with a lovely company!!!!!!
Time Out ChicagoOctober 19, 2011Couples should snag a booth, the perfect spot for sipping a bottle of Chianti and enjoying signature cheesy garlic bread. Ricotta-filled manicotti and gnocchi in meat sauce won’t disappoint.
Cindy KurmanDecember 19, 2009Food is average but Oysters Rockeller are worth the trip alone. They are the best in Chicago. A large and loud restaurant that's been around forever. Great for parties. Something homey & charming.
Baked Alaska is the best in town! But love the entrees. And reasonable drink priced.
S PDecember 13, 2009"Old School" Italian American restaurant. Order anything, it's all tried and true, tested, because this place has been around forever. Save room for baked Alaska or bananas foster.
Jeffery BialekApril 19, 2010The very best Italian in Chicago, for the food, the atmosphere, and the value! Order ANYTHING at all and you will not be disappointed!
Terry BatesSeptember 10, 2011Veal Sorintino was fantastic! Super thin, cut it with a spoon! Great service from Kris!
Michael BenshoofJanuary 16, 2012This place is hard to beat for the price. Huge menu yet it's all done well.
If you are in the mood for pasta,order the spinach gnocchi (Gnocchi di Spinaci). It comes in an alfredo sauce with bits of asparagus and prosciutto.
Great ambiance and service. Highly recommend the seafood!
Rachel CrawfordNovember 30, 2009Everything is great here. Chicken Sabatino and Shrimp della Casa are both amazing.
