Bacino's Italian Grill — neighborhood italian in Lincoln Park. The decor hasn't changed, and it doesn't need to.

“We were surprised that ranch wasn't on the list of dippings but we also didn't ask so maybe they do have it”
This place is a jewel for those who like nature, have dogs, have kids or are visiting the golf range, tennis...
Don't read this review and come to Bacinos because it's an elite outdoor grassy patio space to drink in a quiet park setting.
right next to the marina, super convenient after a long day on the water!
Great casual spot to relax in the park.

“Natalia was a great server.”
Natalia was a great server! My friend and I went here on a Friday afternoon because the pool was too packed to go. To my surprise, there was plenty of seating and we realized they have a parking lot! The whole facility is outdoors with heaps of adirondack chairs to choose from. They also had stacks of little tables to use if you don't want to hold your beer! We ordered beer and fries while soaking up the sun and chatting. The bathrooms are shared with a park, but they're nice for being public bathrooms. There aren't many stalls so start making your way over before you really have to go. Their fries are really good and come with 2 dipping sauces. We were surprised that ranch wasn't on the list of dippings but we also didn't ask so maybe they do have it? We'll be back for their beach party next month and I can't wait!

“Our absolute favorite place in all of Chicago!!”
Our absolute favorite place in all of Chicago!!! So friendly, so caring and great food! I’m not kidding you - the absolute best chicken salad ever!! Pizza and burgers are also fantastic. They do get busy and it’s very casual, but that’s part of the atmosphere and fun. Just relax, get a drink and chat with friends or folks next to you. This place encourages a sense of community. Check out the nearly community garden! Dogs, kids, golfers, couples, and out-of-towners! I’ve never had a bad experience. My dog, Ollie, agrees! He loves Jeremy and the rest of the crew.

“What's not to like about a place serving a pretty damn good hotdog and beers steps from the lake?...”
What's not to like about a place serving a pretty damn good hotdog and beers steps from the lake? Wait staff was surprisingly attentive for a busy Sunday afternoon. Made for a great afternoon outting after wacking some golf balls (but would stop here even if not golfing).

“Great little atmosphere, slow service but service nonetheless.”
Great little atmosphere, slow service but service nonetheless! Farm to table situation, no frills but consistently good outcomes. We’re here for it!

“I love this place.”
I love this place! Love their outside patio. I can chill while my husband hits some golf balls. They don’t a lot of choices but everything is delicious. Appetizer meatball is my favorite. I had three times in a row in 2 days.

“The food is just okay here, but you come for the vibes to sit out on the lawn.”
The food is just okay here, but you come for the vibes to sit out on the lawn. I would say just come for a drink or two!

“We had a great time.”
We had a great time! My boyfriend went to the driving range first and then we got pizza and beer here. Loved the atmosphere, friendly staff, pretty good food.

“Friendly service, great food, and a nice casual atmosphere..”
Friendly service, great food, and a nice casual atmosphere... if they are actually open! UPDATE: Would rate 5 stars but downgraded to 3 stars... the only negative is that they need to update their OPEN HOURS on the website and on the giant sign on the side of the building that says OPEN 9AM. Staff apparently now refuse to provide any service before 11am and claim they don't open until 11am even though both their website, google listing, and giant sign on the door says they open at 9am?! Very confusing and conflicting... please fix and decide to open earlier or fix your site! Thank you!!!
