Affordable, cozy pasta spot with fast service and lots of vegetarian options; great value, but flavors can be inconsistent and space is tight.
Pasta Palazzo excels at fast, attentive service and strong value for money, making it a reliable pre-theater choice in Lincoln Park.

Solid neighborhood pasta spot, not a destination.
One caveat: Some diners report bland or watery sauces and occasional dry chicken; dish selection matters
