Best Pizzerias in Calumet Heights

We had a Mother/Daughter outing at the Bamboo Bar and had a great time... The entire staff was nice, pleasant and helpful. The food came out fast and was great as well as the different Mimosas we drank.. We had several pictures taken of us before we ate, to commemorate our day together. The Santa Baby Bar Display was exquisite, All 3 floors were decorated beautifully. It was so breathtaking. We were able to take pictures with the different Holiday Props.. Our Mother/ Daughter outing was everything thanks to the Bamboo Bar and staff. We lost our framed picture we took before we ate, while taking other pics and one of the wait staff found it and put it up for us.. We were happy and very grateful that he remembered us.....We will definitely be back... And it's best to get reservations ahead of time...so you don't have to wait..... Simply Wonderful ❤️❤️

As fans of Rose Mary we were eager to try El Carciofi and willing to take a 4:45 reservation. This is as fun and as delicious as Rose Mary and shares the same approach to dining—shareable small plates. Interesting craft cocktails, sufficient wines by the glass, exceptionally well trained wait staff and very flavorful food. Gus menu was all Rome inspired so it was a little less diverse than Rose Mary. The artichokes were spectacular crisply Rome style. Every inch was edible. Two to an order but they bring you a serrated knife if you want to have them. We had one other appetizer (calamari), one pasta and one seafood main. The portions are great for two to share but if three or four order another something or two and expect to get just a couple bites not full servings. They have $8 servings of gelato and sorbet and a couple amazing deserts they offered to checkout coats.a nice touch in Chicago’s winter. It’s easy to spend $100 per person if you gave two drinks each and desert. We found street parking but forgot to feed the meter since the sign wasn’t obvious so double check

Great spot for family gatherings, took my parents for after Christmas lunch. The food and atmosphere was great.

Love Pizzeria Portofino's riverfront location & we were seated on the enclosed "patio" which was very nice but a little chilly. Also a bit loud. But the cocktails & food more than made up for that. I highly recommend the limoncello spritz - it's amazing! We had charred pepperoni pizza, vodka pasta pasta, octopus & arugula salad. All were good but the pizza was the star of our meal. Our server was excellent. We'll be back without a doubt.

Love the holiday lights and decor!! 🎄🤩Great food, service and value for our family dinner before ZooLights.
