Viaggio Restaurant Chicago — high-caliber italian in West Loop. The atmosphere is half the draw here. Strong pours and a bartender who takes pride in the work. "The handmade pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauces were rich without being heavy" — Matthew Bogdan [$$]

🌱Vegan & vegetarian friendly — real options, not one sad pasta.

This is simply one of the better italian restaurants in the City!! Its modern, clean lines, warm and yet has that upscale vibe. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The owner has an exceptional personality with his honesty and gift of gab!! Definitely a stop among the many fine places in Chicago. Ordered their chicken marsala which the portions are ample. The tender chicken breasts in a sweet marsala sauce topped with sautéed mushrooms was elegant and silky. This is arguably one of the best in the City.

Top 3 Lasagna. Spectacular atmosphere, service, and food quality. Special place to take someone for a special event. Bread was fantastic too along with the peppers and oil.

Had a fantastic time at Viaggio. My pictures don’t do the food justice. I had the meatball salad and rigatoni with vodka with crumpled sausage and both were delicious. Nothing felt heavy or bloated with oil, which is my common gripe with Italian. Even better than the food was the company and service. Felt right at home at the bar having conversations with strangers. I will definitely be back!

We held a small wedding rehearsal dinner. The food and service was excellent. They had a wonderful singer who contributed to a nice atmosphere.

WOW WOW WOW! We planned this trip around coming to Viaggio’s. I’ve been dying to try the place out so flew all the way from Texas and it did NOT disappoint! This was the BEST Italian food we have ever had! Everything we tried was INCREDIBLE! Dave is such a wonderful down to earth human! He is amazing and if anyone deserves business it is Viaggio’s! We can’t wait to come back! This was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip! Thank you so much for the hospitality 🫶🏻🩷

Absolutely amazing! We were struggling to find a restaurant in Chicago that would allow a group of 20 to dine and Viaggio was so welcoming! The food was incredible. We will be back!

We went to Viaggio’s to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday and it definitely did not disappoint. This was our first time and we will be back, everything was absolutely wonderful from the food and atmosphere to the service, I had the lake perch which you can not get like this anymore and my daughter had the lasagna. We also had the side Caesar salad (minus the anchovies) and a side of tortellini with Alfredo sauce.
