Many people looking for great Italian food find themselves disappointed, so it can be hard to find great options in the city. Lucky for you, one of the best Italian places in Chicago can be found in Lincoln Park at the Chicago Prime Italian Restaurant. We’ll tell you everything you need to know about this neighborhood favorite and why everyone from celebrities to the average Joe should stop in when they’re in town.
THE FOOD
Chicago Prime Italian is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago because the food is so good. The steak and chicken dishes are amazing as well as the pasta dishes. They have a wide variety of different types of pasta dishes to choose from and all the sauces are delicious.
They also have some really good seafood dishes on their menu that are great for when you want something lighter but still filling like shrimp or scallops. One thing we really love about Chicago Prime Italian is that they have a really good gluten-free menu with lots of options so you can always find something to eat there without having to worry.
THE STAFF
Chicago Prime’s staff is friendly and attentive. They make you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and helped us find dishes that would work for our group. We appreciated how he took care of things like refilling our drinks without us having to ask.
THE MENU
Chicago Prime Italian Restaurant offers a wide range of dishes, ensuring that there is something for everyone. The menu includes antipasti dishes such as mussels with garlic and white wine or baked clams oreganata to start. To continue with the meal, they offer a variety of pastas including spaghetti with meatballs or rigatoni pomodoro. For those who are not into pasta but still want the savory flavors in their meal, there is an assortment of entrees to choose from such as chicken marsala or veal parmigiana. For seafood lovers, they offer fried calamari followed by shrimp scampi or lobster fra diavolo as main courses.
THE SERVICES
Chicago Prime Italian offers a wide selection of food on their menu. From appetizers to desserts, they have something for everyone. Their gnocchi with tomato sauce and basil is simply delicious. The pasta is cooked perfectly with just enough sauce to cover it without making it soggy. For dessert, we recommend the tiramisu cake. It is some of the best tiramisu you’ll ever taste!

Prices are standard for this type of restaurant. Lunch is a little less expensive than dinner, but prices are still in the high-end range. There’s also an option to have a three course meal for $30. The food is worth it!
