The Pasta Bowl - Wicker Park

What an amazing surprise. Very unassuming place but every dish was delicious. We went with all meatless choices except for some calamari. Each dish had a unique taste not just generic pasta in sauce over a different noodle. And $20 Tuesday bottles of wine was a perfect combination.

I ordered a pasta from this location to be delivered to my work place. I added no tip on the order as I wanted to give it cash. When the order came, I unfortunately was not the one to open the door and did not give the tip. I wrote a review to the location about my order and they responded right away. They informed me that they could send the driver back so I could give my tip if that was what I desired as it was greatly appreciated. When the driver came, I gave the tip and was given a dessert in return for being nice for doing that when all I wanted was to make it right. This has been one of the greatest experiences I’ve had occur about how to go above and beyond for a customer. I work in the food/restaurant industry and know what this meant to the staff and show appreciation. The food was delicious and the people are super duper friendly. I had not been to this location before, but I will definitely come back again. Thank you!

Ordered to-go from this location. Food was hot and ready in 20 min. The man working the to go area was very quick and friendly. In our 2 min encounter, he put a great impression on us and definitely made us want to return before even trying the food. Food was great though. Portion sizes are huge and delicious. Happy experience here (:

I have been to both Pasta Bowls (Wicker Park and Lincoln Park) and my first 3 visits had me leaving feeling incredibly satisfied. The food was great, the service is quick, and the specials are sure to keep you coming back. Half-priced wine on Wednesdays, $5 Moscow mules on Fridays, and $20 wine bottles on Saturdays were all pluses. That said, I downgraded Pasta Bowl to a 3 because their greasy dishes have left a few of my friends feeling sick and the Lincoln Park location has noticeable wear & tear now. If we are comparing, I think I like the Wicker Park location better as the line is shorter and there are more TV's available.

Amazing service and food. After a long day of working and moving furniture (new to the area) I mistakenly ordered at a different Pasta Bowl than the one I had intended that is right down the street from me. The staff was an absolute blessing for calling the other Pasta Bowl to cancel my order there and remake it at my local one. I was so grateful. The delicious food and generous portions made me feel extra welcome in my new neighborhood.
