PR Italian Bistro

“Such a beautiful, romantic environment and delicious, out-of-the-box dishes.”

A quaint & woodsy neighborhood Italian spot with an intimate vibe. We tried the New York strip, scallop fettuccine, and grilled zucchini 1 everything was solid and comforting across the board. One small downside was a 2.75% surcharge added to the bill that couldn’t be removed, which felt a bit off-putting. Otherwise, it’s a pleasant spot for a cozy Italian meal.

PR Italian Bistro is our neighborhood go-to. The moment you walk in, it just feels like home—warm, welcoming, and relaxed. The food is spectacular. Start with the focaccia and the Gamberi all’Aglio. The shrimp were perfectly cooked in a rich red sauce that was the standout of the night. For mains, the spaghetti bolognese is a must—hearty with exceptional ragù and a rich sauce that clings perfectly to the pasta. The Linguine Padovani was also fantastic, with fresh vegetables and generous chunks of chicken. Our waiter Bryson was great and really added to the neighborhood charm of the place.

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the bartenders are friendly and helpful. Big pre and post Cubs crowd and they don’t ta

One of the worst dining experiences of my life. Where to begin? Well, the terrible service would be a good start. It took an hour and a quarter to receive our main courses. These were brought out one at a time in 5 minute intervals so that each person's meal would get cold unless they simply started eating (which I encouraged them to do). When we finished our meal, it took 15 minutes for the busboy to clear the dirty plates from the table. We ordered a cippolini onion salad as a first course which sounded delicious. Unfortunately, they never served it but managed to include it on the check at
