Outstanding food, service, ambience. And the prices are extremely reasonable relative to other choices. The attentiveness of the staff rivals Michelin starred restaurants. The pasta was gluten free and fabulously delicious.
With a mix of traditional dishes and large portions, this spot is a Chicago staple that's perfect for sharing with friends.

Ate in the bar as we didn’t have a reservation. I ordered a salad without croutons since I am gluten free and salad still came with croutons. The gluten free pasta was over cooked and the Alfredo sauce was just ok.
Perfect for hosting events, this spot offers a spacious lower-level area with a vibrant atmosphere and amazing pizza that keeps everyone happy!

I hosted an event at Pizano's, on Madison recently. They have a really nice event space on the lower level of the restaurant. The event coordinator was very helpful and accommodating. She helped me select the menu and made sure we had gluten free options. We had quite a few attendees who had never tried deep dish pizza before. Everyone loved the pizza, including some thin crust options. In addition to food, we were provided drink options as well. The cost was very reasonable, the service was great, and the space was perfect for our needs. We will definitely consider hosting a future event in their event space. I highly recommend this option for your next large gathering. We had about 30 people with room to spare.
Expect incredible flavors and immaculate dishes, with standout chicken and a must-try tomato basil soup that makes this spot a must-visit.

Don’t skip out on this place, and definitely don’t skip out on the chicken. Whoever is making the decisions back there is doing something very right. The garlic mashed potatoes were immaculate—smooth, creamy, flavorful, and buttery. The chicken was cooked to absolute perfection, with juices oozing out. The flavor was spot on and the pan sauce complimented the chicken wonderfully. Only thing is the broccoli rabe was incredibly bitter, nearly inedible, so I suggest swapping out that vegetable. The tomato basil soup was to die for, and if you get the martini, ask for blue cheese olives, because those olives were amazing. Seriously, this place is legit! They even had gluten free pasta for my husband. The chef back there KNOWS what they’re doing. Incredible food. And I’m definitely a food snob. Bravo!
With a vibrant menu and a cool outdoor seating area, this spot promises quick service and a beloved return to the Chicago dining scene.

Leona’s on Franklin was recommended to me and it did not disappoint!! Just had their chopped salad and a slice of their yummy Sicilian pizza and both were delicious. Friendly and quick service and lots of options on their menu. Even have gluten free pizza, which is great. Nice to see they have an outdoor seating area as well. Will definitely come back. Glad to know that Leona’s is back in the Chicago pizza market again!!! They’ve always been a favorite with great pizza!!
