Reviews for Il Culaccino - Chicago Italian Restaurant in Chicago, IL

As a sole diner I was seated at the bar area, all good with me, and was looked after very well. I placed my food order and it... arrived in minutes which I wasn’t quite expecting. I had barely finished my starter before the main meal arrived. IndirectlyI felt like I was being rushed. The food was fine. Read more

Food was good, with the pork chop dish being the best! Tender, juicy and thick pork chop. Asking for extra sauce for the pork... chop was a charge of $9,60, which was a bit disappointing. They do take reservations. Indoor seating as well as covered indoorpatio seating. Interior is clean. Tables are spaced nicely. Metered street parking. Read more

Don’t recommend. Ordered a plate with pork in it and they refused to remake it. THEY ARE A JOKE!!!! They literally gave me a... bowl or grease ???? I do not recommend. There are a lot of good restaurants wayyyyyy better with better customer service. It’sa reason many people in the neighborhood don’t eat here.i knew I should have ran when I had to walk to a worker sitting downeating just to have my order taken????. I guess her meal was more important than mines Read more

Went here with a few friends and well worth the stop. The staff and service were awesome. Food I felt was great especially the... grilled calamari appetizer. It was awesome. All of our dinners came out great and we had a great time. Read more

My 2022 Mother's Day started off at a play and ended with dinner at IL Culaccino Italian Restaurant. This restaurant was... boisterous, the service was great, the food was delicious and the pricing was comperable. I enjoyed the House Salad and Linguinewith Clams. Oh my .. this delicious dish was full of chopped and shelled clams. Our party of four shared the Fried Calamari,Tiramisu and Vanilla Gelato. Read more

We were walking by and stopped here because it smelled soooo good, even from outside. They were really busy (concert next door)... but we were still seated immediately. All the plates are enormous, so bring a group or come hungry. Highly recommend the stuffedpeppers - the sauce was really tasty and they were spicier than I expected. Spicy pesto and chicken marsala were also good. Wedidn't have room for dessert (how could you??) but I saw a couple cake slices come out that looked amazing. Read more

My oh my, we flew out from Seattle for a music festival here in Chicago and this place was incredible. Our server was top notch... and seriously as a chef, I can give nothing but the best compliments to the back of house. The food was delicious! Calamari wascrispy but the meat was so tender. Our entrees were made perfectly from the sauce to the pasta. Only complaint was the breadwas really hard. Read more
