La Gondola - Chicago

Loved everything about it!!! The food, service, prices, ambiance, music, easy parking, and the space were wonderful.

Cute little restaurant and nice staff, food was ok. Pork belly risotto: rice is creamy and well cooked to the right texture. However, pork belly is too tough to cut and eat. My mouth is so sore from chewing it. I wish they cooked it longer . Would be lovely to melt in the mouth. Comes with a spinach egg soup probably my favorite thing of the meal. Strong flavor and good balance with the greasy risotto. Medium extra thin crust with pepperoni and spinach: not that thin as I expected. Flavor's ok. Nothing special Jumbo arancini appetizer: had the arancini at coda di volpe and was amazed by it so I want to try it here. Not nearly close to the one there. Much bigger but the texture and flavor's are lacking

If you haven't yet, order the Sunday Gravy. With sausage, meatballs, neckbone meat, and pasta, this dish is enough to feed a family of four! Check out their weekly specials!

The spaghetti is the best and the lasagna is stuffed with goodness!! And their specials are nothing to joke about. BOGO specials.

A little small Italian restaurant. I was excited to try this place. The Calamari was great. My Sunday sauce entree was under cooked, it had to be returned to the kitchen, pasta was raw. The Italian Pork Chop was a bit dry. Overall the service was ok. Not sure if I would return.
