I have driven past this place so many times and always been intrigued by its humble exterior. Tonight we finally had the opportunity to swing by and it was well worth the wait! Our server was a lovely individual from Boston with a rich history in Las Vegas who really went above and beyond for our dinner experience. The food was delicious (lasagna gets 10/10), and the wine bottles were such a reasonable price! We had a wonderful time at this historic restaurant (why didn’t y’all have a 50th party??! It’s not too late!) and can’t wait to come back again.
This was a nice, cozy Italian restaurant with a friendly staff and atmosphere. I called in to get a reservation just to be sure, and when it opened I was promptly greeted and seated by Lawrence. He was very professional but fun and not stuffy, and helped me through the menu. I was looking for something they made in house as a specialty, and settled on the meat lasagna with sausage. I had the white bean soup to start with, which I normally never like, but theirs was delicious. I eat a bit slowly and had it about halfway finished when the lasagna came out. It was very hot and very delicious! They have grated Pecorino/Romano cheese right on the table to use, so I sprinkled a bit on the lasagna. It is a shame that I had eaten somewhat recently, since I couldn't finish the entire thing even though it tasted so good. Bottom line, I will be back here the next time I am in Las Vegas! Thank you!
The salad with the creamy garlic dressing was delicious, and the lasagna was very good. I didn't like the fettuccine alfredo and the waiter was very gracious in finding me something else I might like better. He went above and beyond!
This place gives you the feeling of being inside a small Italian home as a guest. The food is authentic and delicious. We try and stop here every trip.
Chicago Joe’s is a tiny place that packs a lotta flavor. After living in Chicago for many years, I am skeptical anytime a restaurant uses my hometown in their name. However, this place deserves to keep its moniker: the whole experience was like coming home. Comforting and delicious food in a chill environment was just what I was looking for. My partner had been asking for lasagna for a week and he said this place hit the spot. It was only $58 for lasagna, eggplant parm, salad, garlic bread, two drinks, and our server even threw in a loaf of bread to go, along with half of each entree because the potions were huge. We both felt comfortable even though we were dressed waaaay down in shorts/hoodies. Parking was easy (a small lot in the rear) but there was plenty of street parking as well. Cash is preferred but we didn’t know, but they do accept credit cards with a service charge which was totally fine. This place has a permanent spot on my list for the next time I return to Vegas.
I don't get to come here as often as I wish I could. The food does not disappoint. The service is fantastic. Atmosphere is very comfortable. Been coming off and on for quite a while and every time I come it seems like it gets better.
