Best Prosciutto Pizza � EVER!!! Caprese Salad �
Love the new location, the system is good, but different from other locations - you order and pay at the terminal. I came at 11:55am and got my order done in 5-10 minutes, but immediately at 12 wait time increased significantly. Waiter offered a water twice - that was nice of him.
Like:
- pasta and coffee are good
- free water (no such option in the loop)
- design (the tree is beautiful)
- order system (pay-ahead)
Dislike:
- when I selected “mild spicy” in the terminal I had no idea it means jalapeño mixed in my pasta
- no idea how to lock women’s restroom WC door
- lines during rush hour between 12-1
What a great restaurant! So many great menu options. We had the side ceaser salad and a caprese pizza. Probably one of the best pizzas I've had. The restaurant was right by Union Station. Wish I lived closer!
I had an excellent experience here. I came here for an internship lunch and the food was delicious. The environment was lively yet not too packed. Clean area and great customer service!
I loved this place. The ambiance was awesome, one of the best pesto pasta I had and the lasagna was just so cheesy and perfect. 🍲 #letsguide
Veg Lasagne was awesome. Good place to have lunch with pears an friends. Food was good.
Absolutely delicious and filling!!! I'm definitely coming back to this place again!! Excellent service and really really tasty food. Zero complaints!!!!!!!
Best casual Italian joint around. The Carbonara salmone is absolutely fantastic.

I was very surprised at this place on my first visit. Was looking for a nice dinner with vegetarian options and everything else was closed. My friend and I each got a vegetarian pizza which was huge! The smells coming out of the restaurant were to die for, garlic delight. They had nice outdoor seating and friendly and helpful staff. My only complaint is their lack of healthy and diverse options, everything seemed very heavy and there was not even your basic pasta primavera or something else with a variety of vegetables. I will be going back but I do hope they expand and diversify their menu.
My son and I went to the Riverside location for lunch. My arugula salad with shrimp was excellent, and so was his BBQ chicken pizza. The pizza has a very thin, crisp crust, we both loved it. The food is very fresh and high quality, and I loved that we were able to sit outside next to the river on a beautiful day!
Not sure why anyone would give this place a bad review, except it looks like wait times are an issue. We waited a little bit longer than a usual loop restaurant at lunchtime, but nothing outrageous. Perhaps they just need to work out some kinks to get it running smoothly. I sincerely hope they figure it out, as this could be one of my "go-to's" for lunch. I'm excited to try happy hour after work since I walk past every day here to get to the train every day, and I've recommended it to all my coworkers as a great new place to try - will tell them to get there early :-)
I love pasta so it was really nice how many different pasta dishes they have to choose from! Almost made it too difficult for me to decide, but the cashier was very helpful and ended up helping me decide on a dish. Excellent selection because it was very tasty!
Firstly and most importantly the food was excellent! Homemade fresh pasta.. options for gluten free .. unique combinations, great presentations! What was especially memorable about r dinning experience was the service! ... smiling faces, and a willingness, with enthusiasm, to satisfy our dining needs. A great place, right next to the Chicago union station, to have a unique dinning experience.
So Looking forward to not only enjoying the
Vapiano restaurants in Chicago but also their Miami and other locations ...Highly recommend!!
First time customer. Ate here with my manager and I had the shrimp scampi which was SO delicious. It sucked I couldn’t finish it all because I was on a time limit. I’m giving a 4 because it was only my first time. Have to eat here more before I decide whether I’ll give a 5- or lower-star review.
I'm not entirely sure why this restaurant has such low ratings. The first time I went to Vapiano, I was blown away with how friendly the staff were and how clean the establishment was. Not to mention, the food was delicious. I've found that most Italian restaurants serve pasta that is more hard than chewy, but at Vapiano the pasta is made perfectly and right in front of you. I enjoy the experience of watching the chef make my food and it takes less than ten minutes. I was so pleased with my experience that I went back, bringing a friend who is vegetarian and allergic to shellfish. We had no issues and enjoyed ourselves tremendously. I have attached photos of the menu for those who are interested in dinning at Vapiano
