Pizzeria Via Stato - Chicago

I went to this restaurant for dinner. We started with calamari (though now I wish we had ordered the roasted garlic bread, since we saw many other tables enjoying it), followed by a Caesar salad and Short Rib Rigatoni. Everything was delicious. The Caesar salad had a bit too much dressing for my taste, but overall, we had no complaints.

This is one of my top choices for traditional Italian cuisine. Their steak is always delicious.

Our group of four came to lunch on Saturday and the food was excellent. The vealballs were delicious and the grilled octopus and potatoes were delicious and the pizza was very good. I had a gluten-free pasta with mushroom sauce that tasted like wheat paste. Our server, Chase was very attentive and the ambience was warm and welcoming.

Perfect casual place with amazing service and super delicious food!! Must go for a great meal!

The veal meatballs were a very generous portion, and the Valpolicella wine went well with this dish. We appreciated the quality and price of the food. A large table of drinking men made the restaurant very noisy, but we hope that this will not be the case when we come the next time.
