Chefs request. This Griglia Misto was super delicious. I met the head Chef Rafael today; he was super friendly and kind. He asked me what I liked to eat and I said I was there for the happy hour. The fact that he took his time to meet me was priceless. I’m a people’s person. I love shaking hands. We need more Chef’s like him. I love Victory Tap because their hospitality is above and beyond. I always sit at the bar. Yaya, Adam are the best bartenders I have in the Southloop. Super attentive and friendly, and Eric the bar back is always making me laugh. I hope this staff never changes. I love them all and give them credit for being in this industry. I came from bartending/serving in restaurant and hotels years back and it’s hard work. Thank you guys!

“This was an exceptional experience.”

This was an exceptional experience. My daughters and I were in town for the weekend. We stopped in for an early dinner on Saturday. The food and service were exceptional. Our waiter Danny made our evening. Turns out Daniel is the owner. He treated us to lemon cello and an out of this world tiramisu. Always with his entertaining ease. If you’re in the south loop, this is a must stop!

“This Italian spot is absolutely amazing.”

This Italian spot is absolutely amazing. The food was high-quality and hit my taste buds perfectly. Started with a Caesar salad and the shrimp appetizer which was to die for. Then move onto chicken Parmesan with a side of rigatoni à la Vodka sauce and crumbled sausage on top. My waiter Cesar was absolutely amazing. He’s probably one of the hardest workers I’ve ever seen at a restaurant. These days that’s hard to find. Do yourself a favor and come to this place with a nice appetite.

“This was one of the best Italian meals I have had since being in Italy.”

This was one of the best Italian meals I have had since being in Italy. Cesar, our waiter, was superb. Very attentive, fast, and friendly. The food was home made and delivered with professional spacing. Very nice price for the level of meal we received. Thank you and we will be back soon!

“You come, you tell them you want Danny as your server.”

You come, you tell them you want Danny as your server. Finale. He's been doing it right with this group for 20+ years. Then, you get Nana's Gravy and the Veal Braciole at a minimum. Anything else you want after that is up to you. It's gonna be good. Damn good.

Also our waitress was so nice and attentive!

“Victory is great.”

Victory is great. A fun spot while you are in the south loop or for a sporting event in Chicago. The lasagna, papardelle and the eggplant stack are all AWESOME. THE WAIT STAFF ARE EXCELLENT.

“Good deal on the steak special.”

Good deal on the steak special! It was very tasty. The server was very nice and enthusiastic about the food. Tried calamari grilled for the first time and honestly I think I might prefer it to the fried version.

“I can NOT express how amazing this restaurant is and the FOOOOD *Chefs kiss* LITERALLY.”

I can NOT express how amazing this restaurant is and the FOOOOD *Chefs kiss* LITERALLY! I’m still thinking about it a day later!!! I was in Chicago for work with my coworkers and we wanted to have a friendsgiving before heading back the next day. I wanted some really good Italian and saw the photos which looked delicious. We went and right away was greeted by the amazing host. We were seated right away and the ambiance in the restaurant is exactly what I wanted. An old school Italian vibe. We were then greeted by our amazing waitress Katie who was beyond amazing. She recommended dishes and was so knowledgeable!!! We had a night to remember, I’ve always recommended to all my other coworkers!!! Thank you Victory Tap for the amazing service and food!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Visited this restaurant at night after the Bears afternoon game and it was busy but tables were available so no wait time for me. Everything was spoton, from beer to dessert. Huge portions and great service. Go check this place out!

“My friends and I had a wonderful time.”

My friends and I had a wonderful time! Top notch Italian food with a pretty big menu. Our waiter was super nice and went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time. The complimentary bread was superb, as were the drinks. We had a great time and can't wait to be back soon.
