Drinks are a bit pricey.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMFresh food served with a smileThis was my second dinner at Bar Toma. Both visits have been positive experiences and I would not hesitate to return or recommend it to a friend. The salads are fresh and the pizzas have a wonderful, chewy crust with fresh toppings. Our waitress was knowledgable and attentive. I don't love the atmosphere, but the location is great and the food is always high quality.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesome Pizzas!Loved the pizzas... the octupus, meatballs, and mozzarella platter appetizers were also delicious, but the Proscuitto pizza and the one with the figs, goat cheese and hazelnuts was a amazing treat!5/1/2013 12:00:00 AMFell in love with chickpeaFell in love with chickpea panelle - must try these again and again.

Not a huge menu but plenty of great choices.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMGo! Have a good time.I have been there twice now. Both times were terrific. Love the food, and the beef skewers are a WOW. Wait staff in both cases were interesting personable and efficient. It's the perfect place in between white table cloth and a burger joint. The menu has something for everyone.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMOur server was really great.Our server was really great. He was very helpful picking out dishes and wine. We had the Caprino pizza which was pretty good, but could have used a little more of something that I can't quite put my finger on. The burrata was delicious and had a cool presentation.4/18/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Pizza's and Gelato!Great Pizza's and Gelato! I would recommend the pizza with the sliced potatoes and rosemary, sounds like a weird combo on a pizza but tastes wonderful!! The rissi gelato tasted like Horchata! Make sure to make reservations, it was extremely busy on a friday night.4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesome place, great foodAwesome place, great food and wonderful company.

Don't forget to save room for the Nutella cookie!4/5/2013 12:00:00 AMEach time we go to ChicagoEach time we go to Chicago we seek out Bar Toma. Outstanding pizza and appetizers -- the roasted carrots with goat cheese and pistachios are fantastic -- finished off by tartuffi, the perfect finish to an enjoyable and delicious meal. Love this place!4/1/2013 12:00:00 AMVery unique, delicious menuVery unique, delicious menu offerings. For example, our pizza was topped with smoked mozzarella and roasted potatoes. Calamari was topped with fennel, with a light horseradish dipping sauce. Will definitely return!3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMAwesome new restaurant, aAwesome new restaurant, a can't miss menu. Service and menu are a welcome addition. Gotta try the BOMBA!, Prosciutto, Parmigiano Reggiano, Olive oil on what I could describe as a homemade big pita. It comes to the table still hot and filled with air, which the server deflates and drizzles olive oil all over. A great sharing app.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMOne of my favorites when in ChicagoThis was not my first time at Bar Toma - it never fails to wow me! We tried the charred carrots (highly recommend) and the mozzarella roll (OK, but not a favorite). We had the meatball pizza which was very delicious....but the best was the dessert!! We had the vanilla gelato with Pizzelle cookies & nutella. Even though we were full, we could not stop eating it. It was very CRAVEABLE!! Our waiter was excellent, very helpful and funny. You need to go - it's a great place to hang with friends or family!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place to stop for aGreat place to stop for a quiet dinner out.

Food was delicious and Jamie's service was attentive, informative, and poised. Always a pleasure to relax at BT!3/20/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a great time at thisWe had a great time at this lively luncheon spot before theater on a Saturday. Rice balls for appetizers and a pizza to share was enough for 2 people. The flavors of each dish were complex, making tem more interesting. Wine and cappuccino rounded out out meal.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat dinner!We met friends for dinner at Bar Toma on a Friday evening, and had no problem getting an 8:15pm reservation. They live just a few blocks away from Bar Toma and had been wanting to give it a try --- we will all be back I think. We shared several pizzas with the table and were happy with all of them. The menu is meant for sharing.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was our first visit butThis was our first visit but won't be our last. Fantastic calamari, amazing pizza (one of the best ever!), great wine (recommended by our super server, Nisha), and perfect dessert (gelato and espresso). Can't wait to go back - seriously great place for fun, food, and drink. Bar Toma rocks! We sat in the dining room area but assume the other two areas are just as good.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious Pizza!Try the basil gimlet for a delicious new gin cocktail with a touch of balsamic vinegar! We loved all our pizzas and swooned over the burrata appetizer. Salads were delicious too. It was Monday night and not at all crowded - the perfect option for our hungry, just-arrived-in-town family with teenagers. Possibly the best pizza crust anywhere.
