Customer Reviews

Outstanding Service from Dallanara!!! I recently visited this bar for the first time with a group of four, and I can honestly say I'll be coming back regularly thanks to the exceptional service from our waitress, Dallanara. From the moment we sat down, she provided excellent service with great communication, extreme attentiveness, and a warm smile the entire time. She consistently went above and beyond any expectations--always humble, professional, and somehow one step ahead of anything we needed. It's rare to find someone who genuinely elevates the entire experience, but she absolutely did. Dallanara is truly a great asset to this bar, and because of her, this spot just became a new favorite. We'll definitely be returning!

Me and my wife stopped at Pizza Cantina and Jocelyn our server was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. She made great recommendations, checked in at just the right times, and genuinely seemed to care about making our experience enjoyable. Her positive attitude and professionalism really stood out and made our meal even better. Excellent service like hers is why people come back. Highly recommend asking for Jocelyn if you're dining here!

I just had to write to let you know how fantastic my first experience was at Pizza Cantina. I stopped by for what I thought was just a beer at the bar until I met up some friends and Ended up having dinner there. I don't think I've ever had a server as friendly and attentive as Jocelyn! She was able to predict our needs before we did. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. Must have the truffle fries , and the pizzas.

As soon as we walked in we where greeted with a pleasant smile. The bartender suggested the "Carne Asada Pizza" and updated us with specials on drinks and food. After 20m the place started getting more customers. Very lay low vibe atmosphere and the local art is amazing. Pizza was crispy and delicious . I requested a Expresso martini and he warned me the the coffee that was available was bitter. I trusted the process I do not regret it. Thank you so much for the wonderful delicious experience. I will definitely be back for the wings. Very clean bathroom and great service. Thank you to the waitress that was also attentive and cleaning our spot in the bar.

Drea was our bartender through the entire Bears game and she was always super attentive and offered great service the entire time. Definitely recommend this place in Chicago, ask for Drea if you make the trip!
