La Gondola Italian Restaurant

Amazing food and amazing service with a HUGE menu that is so affordable. If you're looking for great Italian food, go to La Gondola! You will not be disappointed!

I like this place a lot. theres a unique mood. The cuisine is marvelous. the service is efficient and the waiters are professional. The cost is modest. greatly recommend.

Tried this place already with a friend and I am obsessed ever since. I loved the fantastic ambience and flavorful dishes and beverages. Great work.

Had dinner there with friends a week ago for a birthday celebration. The owner, wait staff, drinks and food were all wonderful. I recommend this place for everything...catering, dining in and out!

Can't believe we ended up at La Gondola on St. Patrick's day. What a treat!!! Service was out standing! Food was authentic and delicious! All five of us got something different so we could compare. Some the BEST Calamari around. Sauce and cheese on the lasagna went perfect with the ever so slight hint of spice on the meat. Meat ball is outstanding! Plenty to take home for another meal the next day. Atmosphere takes you back to the little Italian restaurant of old school. So glad to finally get in to La Gondola after so many successful orders at home!

My husband and I stumbled upon La Gondola 8 or 9 years ago and fell in love with the food, service and ambiance. Since we moved out of the city, we hadn’t had a chance to come back until last night. It was everything we remembered...and more! Wine, bread, soup, entrees....all 10 out 10. But the service is what really stands out. Our server was attentive and funny with just the right amount of sarcasm. (I didn’t formally catch his name, but I think it’s ‘D’) He had us laughing all through dinner and made us feel like very special customers. I look forward to the next time we can come back to La Gondola with friends and family. 10 out 10!

“Yes, the place in the strip mall” Hidden gem of Italian, they have delicious drinks on their menu. My favorite was the Italian margarita. Their food was delicious, we both had pasta dishes.I love how intimate the space was and the setting. I definitely overdressed for this casual spot. There seemed to be a lot of regulars coming back and all were friendly with the staff. Staff was soooo friendly and wonderful.Can’t wait for another date night here. Tip: call ahead for a reservation, space is limited!

We ordered a pan of lasagna to feed a large group. Best lasagna we have tasted. We will definatley order again. The delivery service was outstanding as well!

The menu? Extensive. The food? Amazing. The owner? Incredible. Best pasta in Chicago!!

Our family has been welcomed as Andy’s family for 10+ years. He’s provided small casual family meals in the restaurant, to carryout, to delivery of food that “travels well”, to large group catering. As with any small business, his staff turns over now and then, but Andy is able to deliver consistent excellent food by being on site in the kitchen and caring about each dish and pizza that goes out the door. This is an amazing small neighborhood restaurant that cranks out amazing Italian food. Thanks, Andy!!
