Topo Gigio’s is a great local restaurant with excellent Italian food. The restaurant has high ceilings and exposed brick, with a casual but cozy feel to it. There’s also an outdoor area in the summer. Service was good and provided excellent recommendations. The scampi and sea scallops with mushrooms in chardonnay and lemon sauce was delicious! The main dishes were... More

This small cafe is located in Old Town - Chicago. It is a very good place for great italian cuisine from many of the regions of Italy. Topo Gigio is Italy's equivalent of our Mickey Mouse. The atmosphere is too noisy to carry on a quiet conversation at dinnertime but hand signals are appropriate. The veteran wait staff was excellent... More

This was a good italian restaurant. The bread was good. Our wine was good. We got 2 different chianti's. I ordered a past with salmon in it. It was very rich and tasty. No complaints.

Everything on the menu was good. The waitstaff was quite knowledgeable and could have whatever you wanted whipped up for you. The service was quick and efficient. Would definately go there again.

Neighborhood institution. Nice to sit outside if you get there early enough in summer. Great food but getting pricey. Still a comfortable fun place to go. Authentic Italian dishes. There is a bar outside that gets extremely crowded - try the bar inside, it's better. It's ok to just stop in for drinks and appetizers. Pretty place, pretty garden.

Had lunch pasta special which was squid ink noodles with salmon, shrimp and clams. Dining partner had soup of day and tortellini. Seemed to enjoy both. Prices are reasonable. Food... More

I can't imagine a better Italian restaurant in my life! We had a group of 8 on a Thursday night in November and had the best time ever at any dining experience. The food was great, the staff was great. This was old style Italian at its best.

Went here while we waited to go into Second City down the street. Great Italian comfort food with excellent service. The bread and olive oil + parmesan to start with was a nice touch. We had the grilled calamari to start (CALAMARI alla GRIGLIA) and it was levels above the fried calamari that is often found at restaurants. For entree,... More

This is a great family-run Italian restaurant, I ordered the salad with grilled salmon and it was delicious!
