Trivoli Tavern Chicago Reviews
Super cute vibes in the restaurant and the outdoor space!
Super cute vibes in the restaurant and the outdoor space! All the food was to die for. We absolutely loved the vodka rigatoni, I swear it's better than carbone. The steak frites were so fatty and juicy, and cooked to perfection. The salmon was super rich, flaky and not overdone. And the mushroom casserole is a MUST! Wednesdays are half off bottles of wine which was a very happy surprise for us. Will definitely be coming back soon!
I live close by and have dropped in multiple times.
You can have a meal inside the main dining room and feel like you're in a mafia movie. You can dine on the patio and feel like you're in Europe. You can grab a seat at the bar in the lobster bar and have a casual bite. So versatile. Get the ceaser salad with smoked salmon. Do it. As a matter of fact also make sure you get the mushrooms side. Sounds odd but these two are my fav things on the menu. The Mac and cheese is great. All of the pastas are great. Get the rolls, why not. Save room for dessert cause the sticky date cake is amazing and massive. The frozen drinks are both fantastic.
Always love coming here.
First time sitting on the patio and it was awesome. Come for the vibes, stay for the food. We started with the artichoke dip. My husband got the steak frites and I got the fish and chips. 10/10 for food. I'd like to believe our waitress was very busy as at times it took a bit to get her attention but I really appreciated the manager coming over to help.
Food, vibe, service, ambiance all top notched.
An absolute must is the crab Rangoon. Patio was awesome (poked my head inside and was a different relaxed vibe that I was all for) will most definitely be going again.
Ever since this place was recommended to me by a fellow
Ever since this place was recommended to me by a fellow coworker, I've made it a mission to dine here when I flew into Chicago! The interior had such a cozy and dim-lighted ambience that it felt like entering a different world after spending all day in the West Loop area. Even the pathway leading to the entrance with the cobblestone flooring and fairy lights set up such a romantic atmosphere. I had originally reserved it for myself only but two coworkers ended up tagging along last minute and they wait staff was so accommodating to seat us. The waitress who had seated us was so kind and we ended up striking a conversation because she complimented my tattoo. Shame I wasn't able to get her name but she was so sweet! The service from when we seated to finished was phenomenal - we were always checked in on, were reminded of the dinner specials and immediately asked for any dietary restrictions the wait staff should be made aware of. After ordering our drinks, we were given water and our orders very momentarily. As a west coast gal, the chicken pot pie my coworker had ordered was knocked out of the ballpark! There is a certain midwestern magic added in that just can't be replicated otherwise. Me and my other coworker had ordered the vodka rigatoni and the texture of the cream and the pasta was cooked to perfection, I still think about it weeks after. All three of us finished our meal completely despite being full at the end! A great taste of midwestern comfort food: both traditional and modernized dishes! From the amazing service, warm ambience and delicious food, you cannot go wrong with spending a date night here or unwinding by yourself. Will definitely make another visit when I fly into Chicago again!
Such a beautiful area outside for the summer with the patio
Such a beautiful area outside for the summer with the patio and lobster bar. We sat inside and loved the tavern speakeasy vibe. Our server was great and we loved the food. Not a lot of dairy free choices for me though sadly!
This was honestly one of the best food experiences you
This was honestly one of the best food experiences you could ever find in chicago. Tucked in a cute ally, amazing classy but intimate atmosphere. And the service was great but the food was amazing!!!! Everything we got was delicious. Highly recommend the truffle pasta and the burger was one of the best i've ever had. This dessert with dates was just a perfect ending.
Best Restaurant In Chicago
I’ve been to The Gage. I’ve been to BLVD Streakhouse. I’ve been to Terrace 16 in Trump Tower. This place tops them all. Has a speakeasy vibe. Incredible service. Incredible drinks. Delicious food. Cool vibe. You need a reservation.
My table ordered the vodka rigatoni and truffle bucatini.
The pastas was cooked perfectly but nothing to write home about. The sticky date cake on the other hand.... it was amazingggggg!
Great vibe! Great food.
Loved the fried chicken. Everything we ordered was delicious and waitress was attentive.
As a big fan of hog salt restaurants, I had really high
As a big fan of hog salt restaurants, I had really high hopes for Trivoli Tavern going in. However, it missed the mark. TLDR: I don't see myself ever craving any of the dishes we ordered tonight, much to my surprise and disappointment! The ambience is soo cute so I probably will be back for that reason itself, but with lesser expectations on the dining experience sadly I'll start by saying we had kind and attentive servers all night, so that was not the issue at all. The atmosphere was lovely as well so this review is heavily driven by my thoughts on the food We started with the Parker rolls and whitefish dip. The rolls were some of the most soft and fluffy i have encountered lol and though the truffle butter was good, it just wasn't anything truly remarkable. The white fish dip was on the salty side. For entrees, I had heard such good things about the vodka rigatoni but found myself preferring the 'Hailey Bieber' pasta I can make at home. The chicken pot pie was pretty tasty, so I'm not sure if it was just because I was getting full from everything else, but I thought it wasn't as good as the ones I'd had at armitage alehouse before. I did really want to try the desserts but was too full by the end of the meal, so I will be back to try those! Vibes? Immaculate. Culinary Expectations? Unmet.
Great spot for dinner in the West Loop!
We were celebrating two birthdays on June 20, 2024 and we had an amazing dinner with Jenna as our server. The Cornbread skillet was delicious along with the slow roasted meatball appetizer. We had the French Onion soup, Chicken Pot Pie and Spicy Shrimp pasta that were outstanding. The room is large and can be loud and we sat in the upper area in a booth that was perfect. We were surprised with local homemade gelato with a candle that made the night special!
Outstanding Restaurant where the food is only outmatched by the service
We had a great experience at Trivoli. The staff is simple top notch. I think I only refilled my water once myself with the carafe on the table. Everything was just perfect. The Truffle Butter Bread service was great as were the pigs in a blanket. Our Steak Frites was perfect. The temperature was spot on and that's difficult with a thinner steak. The best dessert we had in the city was the Butterfinger Pie and the Brown Butter Ice-cream. These are not to be missed. The Limoncello was also a surprise. Absolutely order this as a Digestif with dessert. We were celebrating our engagement and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.
Fantastic ambience, food and service.
Visited for an evening meal with my wife and son. Can honestly say it's the best ambience we've experienced in Chicago so far, real theatre! Italian cuisine prepared and presented par excellence. Would definitely return, highly recommend.
Celebrating husband Birthday
Beautiful vibe ambiance. Great service and delicious food. We sat outside and it felt as if we were in Europe. They are famous for their chicken pot pie, but in May we had the lobster roll sandwich and the fish and chips. Must order the coconut shrimp and hot corn bread.
A solid meal in a cozy space.
Five of us came here for dinner and enjoyed the rolls, pasta, and date cake. I had the vodka pasta and it was good, but didn't stand out from other ones I've tried. The showstopper was the date cake: delicious, sweet, indulgent (you'll want to share!), and so good. I'd go back just to eat dessert. Service was great too! From checking in to paying the bill, it felt like a well-oiled machine.
Cozy and Romantic lighting.
Although my Mom's group met there for brunch, I could see how this place would be a romantic date night as well. As soon as you walk through an alley-like, cobblestone path towards the tavern, you are welcomed by a warm setting. A host will greet you and guide you to your seat. Unfortunately the brunch entrees did not meet the standard I expected for a pricey menu. We had the smoked salmon ceasar and silver dollar hash browns and these thick strips of maple bacon. I wish I could say the food was way better than your standard diner, but the hash browns were hard and not very tasty. The salmon Caesar salad had bits of salmon. The only above par item was the bacon, but can you really ever go wrong with bacon?? The service was good. She brought over a refill of my Arnold Palmer without being asked. To be fair I need to try the other menu items, but the brunch is not worth it.
Went here for an early Sunday dinner and we couldn't be
Went here for an early Sunday dinner and we couldn't be more pleased. Our waiter, Zachary, made fantastic recommendations and helped us decide when we ere in-between foods. We started with the bread which they generously gifted us since we were celebrating a late valentine's day. We also got the meatballs an an app because you can't go to an Italian place and not try their meatballs. They were perfectly in-between the small hard style meatballs and the large fluffy ones. Very tasty and would have gone perfectly In a pasta. For dinner we had the steak and the bucatini pasta, with that we added crumbled sausage. All was excellent. Lastly for dessert we got the sticky date cake. Also fantastic. We've been to many of the cities best Italian restaurants and this place no doubt holds its own. I had to be sire to tell the manager of pur great experience and took a lic woth Zachary our waiter. P.s. if the spelling and punctuation are bad do t blame me, I did it on a phone.
Trivoli Tavern deserves 5 stars for their service.
The wait staff and everyone you encounter is on top of it. Your water glass is never empty, your food is timed perfectly, the waiter was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. The fried chicken sliders were the star of the show last night. The pigs in a blankets were good but not knock your socks off. The burger was way too salty, and I like salt... so that's saying something (hence the 4 star). Fries were good though. Great ambiance as the lighting makes it very romantic and intimate. Would definitely recommend popping in if you have a chance.
Food and service was absolutely impeccable.
Me and my wife went in on a Monday night. Our server was on point with resetting our plate and silverware in between courses.
The restaurant had great service.
The steak was juicy, perfectly cooked and just incredible. They also have a beautiful dark aesthetic. Comfortable seating as well!
I love this place!! The vibes are amazing and love the cute
I love this place!! The vibes are amazing and love the cute alley it is hidden down. Make sure you book in advance because it books up fast. The truffle bucatini is SO truffley and the perfect portion size. I highly recommend the molten lava cake. I love that this place has a ton of gluten free options/ dishes that can be made gluten free. They also have free ice cream for birthday.
i've never seen an italian-asian fusion hybrid place, but
i've never seen an italian-asian fusion hybrid place, but this place hits the spot for sure. i got the parkerhouse rolls, crab rangoons, rigatoni alla vodka, butterfinger pie, and butterscotch(?) caramel(?) ice cream. the rolls are the best dinner rolls you will ever taste. that grass-fed butter is sooo good. the crab rangoons? no doubt in my mind that they were the best crab rangoons i've ever had. they were fried to perfection and stuffed full of filling. pro tip: mix the two sauces together. the rigatoni = superb. they don't shy away from the sauce - each pasta shell is bursting with that vodka sauce. the pasta was cooked to perfection as well & the basil added a nice touch of freshness. the butterfinger pie and ice cream were so decadent. i know i will return, but my dilemma is - do i try new dishes or stick with everything i ordered because this meal was so damn good? the service and ambiance were spot on too! this place is iconic for a reason.
So glad we took a local's advice and gave this place a shot.
As the beautiful and ornate main dining room and bar were full, we ate in the smaller walk-ins only "Lobster Bar" and sat at the counter. The ambiance was cool, dim and chill. Service was perfect and our food was impeccable. Prices were surprisingly reasonable. We can't vouch for the drinks as Wednesday is half-price wine bottle night and we couldn't resist the temptation of a $56 Margaux. My friend (from Boston) RAVED about the clam chowder! My French Onion Soup was spot-on tasty and, somewhat unfortunately, very filling - turns out I should have ordered it and a salad as a meal. The Steak Frites entrée was unbelievable - possibly the best steak I've tasted in 5+ years. Seriously. The Sausage Orecchiette pasta was really pretty good, but somehow left me wanting something a little richer and cheesier - but after the soup, there was no way I could have finished it. Next time - and there will DEFINITELY be a next time - I will probably go for a different pasta dish. If you are thinking about eating here, stop thinking and just go. On a 10-scale, this place is truly a 12.

What a wonderful pre-date night spot here in Chicago - the seats at the bar magically opened up for us as we were galavanting throughout the neighborhood - we ate several sides and enjoyed smart wines and wonderful selfie-taking here! A perfect spot with kind customer service and great host team to help even when its packed!
Full bellies and warm hearts.
Amazing food and fantastic service. Got the incorrect cocktail by mistake but staff was quick to fix me the correct one and gave us complimentary dessert as well. Loved the vibrancy and look forward to returning next time we are in the city.
Worth the visit
Excellent prime rib. I also enjoyed the bread which I would normally avoid. Lovely atmosphere and not to loud to have a business meeting.
Great food, great atmosphere
What a great place! Really cozy and atmospherically decorated. The music fits perfectly (blues). Our server was super friendly and helpful. The food, the filet mignon, was very, very delicious! Perfectly cooked. If you're in Chicago, this is definitely worth a visit!
Garbage truck in the patio
Food is good but we waited for an hour to get it .. was a Saturday night.. We were outside tables around the corner!!! Big mistake!!!! Around 8 o'clock the big garbage truck pulls in and started to dump the dumpsters for about 20-30 min until we couldn't stay anymore and we left... The stink and the sound of the truck was unbearable Food is ok
Dark & Beautiful
Please try and I mean TRY THEIR COMPLIMENTARY bread with butter! I enjoyed their cocunut shrimp and immensely loved the fact that this was a dark restaurant!
Fantastic!
We absolutely LOVED this restaurant! We found it when we were at Green Street Meats, since it's right next door. We went in to check it out and decided to try it for dinner the next weekend. They didn't have any reservations, but the lovely woman at the front was able to move some things around and fit us in. The ambience is wonderful. It felt like we went back in time, but in such a wonderful way. We were in a cosy booth and started with cocktails. They brought the bread pretty quickly, which we appreciated. My husband ordered an ice tea and they accidentally brought him a Long Island Iced Tea. It was no big deal at all, but the manager came over to apologize and they comped up an order or mashed potatoes and the iced tea. That's the way to provide great client service. Everything we had was delicious! The date cake for dessert was magic. I would say that it is probably our favorite restaurant that we've eaten at in Chicago and we've been to many. We can't wait to return!!
A terrible disappointment!
Although the restaurant is very cool and old world like, it was a terrible disappointment! How does a restaurant boldly advertise Lobster rolls, Lobster Pot Pie and fish and chips and at 5:30pm on a Sunday, the server tells us that they have run out of these 3 key items. We personally went there for the lobster rolls, imagine our dissatisfaction! Service was very good , thank you Westley and team but we Would not go back…
Best Restaurant in Chicago!!
Trivoli is expensive but it is so worth is. I think this is one of the best restaurants I have been to in Chicago. The ambiance is immaculate and great for any time of the day. I got the cheeseburger and it was by far the best I have had, even my friends said so too! Great options that are also shareable. Their service was a bit slow but it gave us time to catch up as friends. They even have a happy hour! I highly recommend this place and I will be coming back.
Great New(ish) Restaurant in the West Loop
This could be our new favorite place in the West Loop. It is owned by the same group that owns Bavette's (another fabulous restaurant), but the vibe is buzzier and more fun. Our food was excellent and the service was too. Highly recommended.
Old Europe
This is a unique restaurant in a warm setting with great food. Accessing the restaurant via a cobblestone alley begins the feeling of an old European restaurant. The inside has a cozy feel to it even though it is a large place. From drinks, appetizers, to the main course, all was superb. The service was adequate and helpful as well. We would definitely suggest trying this place for a romantic dinner or for any size gathering of friends, family. The only complaint is the roughly $10 charge just to make a reservation. That money is NOT applied to the final bill.
This place is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago! We
This place is one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago! We went here for happy hour and the vibes are awesome! The food on the happy hour menu was delicious and drinks were well priced. The service was fantastic. I recommend checking this place out!
Fantastic meal with a fantastic waiter, Matthew.
He really made our experience over the top!! We ordered all at once and he did a great job portioning it out so it didn't all come at once. We ordered family style with the shrimp scampi (with a side of buttered noodles), meatballs, steak frites, house salad, and oysters. The shrimp scampi came out sizzling hot with delish butter and herbs and bread. The meatballs were yummy and saucy. The steak frites was cooked PERFECTLY with a delicious glazed crust. The oysters were fresh and flavorful. 10/10 would recommend. We arrived early and had to wait for our table, so we sat at a table at the bar, sipped on drinks and again, had a fantastic bartender. He was busy but stayed attentive and was very friendly to chat with :) all in all, great experience. Will be going back!
Food from Hogsalt group is always great.
What makes them stand apart is the service. We consistently have amazing service. We go to the restaurant but also order it in quite a lot. I've had issues with the site, and when you call they are so accommodating. You just don't find this at many places these days. Whether full or short staffed, Trivoli Tavern gives a great meal with fabulous service. Highly recommend.

I've been trying to get a reservation for this place for awhile and recently stumbled on that they do brunch service!! The place is dim and has a swanky atmosphere! The service was fun and friendly service. I'll be coming back to try dinner! :)
Located within a beautiful old-time square, Trivoli Tavern
Located within a beautiful old-time square, Trivoli Tavern is home to one of the best dinners I've had in Chicago. The pasta is excellent and they have half-off wine specials on Wednesdays. One of the best spots for a dinner date in West Loop.
Definitely worth the hype! Had dinner reservations for a
Definitely worth the hype! Had dinner reservations for a friend's birthday and the ambience was classy and elegant. The servers were extremely friendly and attentive as well.To start, bread was brought to the table that was warm and fluffy. We shared the Baby Artichoke Gratin and it was a delicious appetizer (comes with 4 slices of garlic bread).I ordered the Vodka Rigatoni and the pasta was creamy and very filling -- did not disappoint. Had a glass of Riesling as well!For my friend's birthday, they also brought 2 scoops of ice cream with hot fudge to pour over, adding to the fun celebratory dinner.Overall, it was an amazing experience and I highly recommend. Making plans to come back for happy hour!

I waited 35+ minutes after finishing my clam chowder for my entree despite having ordered the soup and entree at the same time.. the entree never actually came, as I ended up canceling the order and going somewhere else.
Location and design are unmatched-- beautiful, comfortable,
Location and design are unmatched-- beautiful, comfortable, and spacious. Service is very professional and friendly. Food is all great. We ordered the prime rib, cheeseburger, ribeye, and lobster pot pie; ribeye and cheeseburger, in particular, were delicious.
I had zero expectations going in as we had no reservation.
We were able to score some seats in the bar area. This restaurant was quite lively for a Friday night. My 5-star is for the fried half chicken on the menu. That was some of the best fried chix I've ever had, and I'd go back there for that alone. The cornbread, on the other hand, was so so, actually terrible.
This is such a good spot for happy hour! Make a reservation
This is such a good spot for happy hour! Make a reservation if you can! I love the ambiance here and you can't go wrong with $8.00 old fashion with $6.00 sliders!
Old school tavern deliciousness.
..meets the hype! What a spot for date night as it starts on your walk up the romantic cobblestone...you question if you are still in the same city. Inside the feel is classic but classy. Like you just walked into a Chicago tavern in the 40's. Truly is mesmerizing as you spot the regal chairs and large chandeliers. Host and servers are trained and engaged in providing good service. As you review the menu it's hard to place a theme. Classic steak/chops/seafood with some worldly fusion I would say.Off to a great start and when I got to the food I was blown away! We were there for brunch and here's how it breaks down *Drinks - Bellini - Tini - well balanced, espresso martini - spot on*pigs in a blanket - flaky comfort food*Wagyu burger w/bacon - wow amazingly juicy and the bacon is thick but melt in your mouth delicious. It's a must. *ribeye steak & eggs - finally steak that's worth it for breakfast and crispy hasbrowns*sticky date cake - for those that know, this is sticky toffee pudding and are you kidding me?? Haven't had it this good since London 4 years ago. Satisfied from head to toe...this place stands on its own uniqueness from the moment you walk near it. Usually packed so plan ahead and make a reservation... Great addition to west loop!
Best pasta ever!
- hands down, best handmade pasta I’ve ever had - very cute tavern- gives off Harry Potter Vibes - happy hour everyday from 4:30-5:30 (cheaper apps and drinks) - we ordered the vodka rigatoni & truffle pasta - both amazing
Amazing …
10/10 phenomenal dinner spot, must make a reservation . I can’t say enough good things about this place…food service and atmosphere, great place to celebrate a special occasion
