I was visiting my sister in Chicago and we went here for dinner. It is amazing! The best gluten free pasta & great service. The indoor seating is very from the outdoor. The outdoor is very open and bright & indoor is a bit more moody and elegant. If you are in the Old Town area of Chicago, I highly recommend coming here for good Italian cuisine!

I'm back again. Got seafood platter again. Great vibes again. Sat inside this time. Absolutely amazing spot. If you come to Chicago and don't come here you're on some dumbshit. I'm crying rn eating this lobster pasta. Amazing

Went for dinner and sat on the back patio! Beautiful Chicago backyard vibes with string lights. Great summer spot - we ordered two expresso martinis. caesar salad and fried calamari to share. Would order all again. Plus they provide a bread basket to start. Service was quick and attentive. Will be returning for more patio dinning this summer!

Absolutely success here! We got to sit on the patio (first come first serve). We split a well priced bottle of wine and enjoyed the complementary bread service. So many fabulous options on the menu, it took a while to make the ultimate pasta decision. We went with the rigatoni and a summer pasta (arugula, cherry tomatoes, EVOO, garlic). The pasta was absolutely delish. I decided to substitute the fusollini for whole made fettuccine. It was an up charge but definitely worth it! Waiter was knowledgeable as well. Only complaints: the table was not well positioned, it was crooked and our plates and glasses would slide if not held down. Similarly, I found a piece of paper in my pasta, looked like a butter wrapper perhaps? Who knows...

LOVE this place!!!! It feels like you transport to Italy when you walk in. Especially in the summer when their bar area is uncovered. This place is normally packed, so I would make a reservation if you can or be prepared to have a long wait. Once seated - I've always had pretty good service. Sometimes it can take a little bit for a server to come greet you and get your drink order, but other than that all my servers have done a good job. I've tried something new every time I've been here. This past time was one of my favorites - The Spiedini Adriatica came with shrimp and scallops & was a huge portion size. The spinach that came with it was the best spinach ever - I think they dowsed it in garlic & olive oil. If you think you don't think spinach, this spinach might change your mind. The Insalata Di Calamari Grigliati was a really good salad. It was more of a warm salad because of the calamari which I loved and thought was so good. The Fusilloni Tocco Delicato was very simple which I think contributed to it being one of my favorite items. The red sauce made it feel light and the arugula freshened it up. Can't go wrong with anything on Topo's menu. Can't wait for my next visit!!!!!!

Old school Italian food, with great service. Great prices on wine. Service was perfect.

We did take out from here. I thought the prices were pretty fair, and the pickup process was quick and painless. The staff had smiles. Overall great pickup experience. We ordered their Bruschetta, my wife ordered their Fusilli alla Topo Gigio and I ordered their Spaghetti con el Polpette (spaghetti & meatballs). I honestly don't know what it is about me and spaghetti & meatballs. It's literally the most simplest dish one can order, yet I keep ordering it everywhere I go. Perhaps I like the simple things in life. The dish itself was good though. The meatballs were big, and very flavorful. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce tasted great. Don't know if I would order it again if I came back to dine in, but for sure wouldn't hesitate ordering for takeout again. My wife's Fusilli Alla Topo Gigio came with chicken, pancetta, with a bolognese sauce, a four cheese sauce and then topped with mozzarella. The dish was also good. Definitely very cheesy, but filling. Not sure I would personally order it though. The bruschetta was also very tasty. You only get three pieces but that's honestly more than enough. Both dishes also came with a side salad. Which I thought was a nice touch. The salads were good too. I can definitely see myself returning.
