“Their menu eschews a vast number of pages, instead favoring a focused selection of incredible eats prepared with fresh ingredients and the kind of care normally associated with nonnas”

Don’t order pizza here. I assure you, it’s better to buy Domino’s — this is not a joke. The pizza here is a scam.
We live not far from this place, so we decided to have dinner there for my boyfriend’s birthday.
Honestly very disappointed. Took a friend to brunch here because the food was good the first time I came.

“PR Italian Bistro is a true neighborhood gem and one of my absolute favorites.”
PR Italian Bistro is a true neighborhood gem and one of my absolute favorites. The food is always delicious, the vibe is cozy and welcoming, and Kyle is absolutely wonderful! She goes above and beyond to make every visit feel special. It’s always a treat to come here — whether it’s for a casual night out or something a little more celebratory. I love supporting this local spot, and they never disappoint. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out!

“I cannot rave bout this place more.”
I cannot rave bout this place more! Once getting into Chicago I was craving Italian food, but not the traditional red sauce and noodles! I found this place on a whim and I was blown away by the menu. I sat at the bar and received the best service this evening. Don’t hesitate to stop here. You will not be disappointed.

“Love this pizza and Italian food.”
Love this pizza and Italian food. Great do it yourself bloody Mary bar with homemade mix on Sundays. The homemade pasta is always amazing. Pizza is not standard Chicago style, but it is delicious. All their regular menu and specials are great. Service is always great. Try to walk over as often as possible, even with the infant

“Food was great, service was good.”
Food was great, service was good. Definitely take the time to check the specials, and if the pork cheek ragu is on there order it. Great selection of wines by the glass, tiramisu was a good choice too. Outdoor seating is dog friendly.

“I stopped in today after the Linguine Padavani had been on my mind for a while—my go-to here.”
I stopped in today after the Linguine Padavani had been on my mind for a while—my go-to here. This experience wasn’t the best, but I think it was more of a fluke thing because PR has been fantastic every other time. I was seated immediately, even despite the upcoming Cubs game, but the service was a little slow. And the burrata and linguine were delicious, but those are two tiny crostinis and the chicken had a reheated taste to it. A little disappointing but not enough to sway me. I’ll definitely be back for more and am already excited. The food always comes out nice and hot, and there’s a cozy feel to it if that makes any sense. I also love the atmosphere at PR. It has a certain down-to-earth/neighborhood feel, but it’s elevated at the same time. The servers are always super kind, too!

This resto is AMAZING! Everything is delish. I can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. Service is great! Everyone is so nice. We had Caesar salad, Focaccia, Burrata con Zucca Rigatoni Tirolo, Pollo Chioggia, Tordelli Brasati

Beautifully made pasta and nice atmosphere. Great selection of cocktails and wines and the pastas taste so fresh! Friendly host and wait staff as well. Great neighborhood spot. Definitely get there right when they open though because they fill up fast!
