    Loved it loved it loved it! I've tried Deep Dish Pizza in Chicago, and in my opinion Johnny Fontane's was even better than the original. We came on a Thursday when it wasn't too busy, and the staff really went the extra mile to cater to our every need. If you're coming on a weeknight, I'd recommend arriving between 5 and 7pm for Happy Hour. $10 cocktails? *%$& yeah!

    Was so incredibly disappointed with our meal on Friday night. We were seated in an area downstairs with 2 group tables which was very noisy for the 2 of us, we were unsure whether to order at the bar or wait for wait staff and upon waiting at the bar to be served was told the order could be taken at the table, and the Capone pizza was so amazingly tasteless and unpleasing. Everything about that pizza tasted like nothing. No garlic? No salt and pepper even? Couldn't finish a second slice. Took the rest home to feed our dog. Won't be back.

    Food here was ahhh-mazing! Best arancini balls I've had to date - full of flavour! I'm from interstate but the Capone deep dish pizza is now on my list of favourite meals ever! The oreo ricotta cannoli was delicious and great value for money.

    Great potential but didn't cope well with the busy Saturday night. Would recommend going on a weeknight.

    What a fantastic experience! We went for lunch on a Friday when it was quiet, which meant we largely had the place to ourselves. The staff were friendly and personable, and the owner made us feel right at home. The antipasti board and pumpkin gnocchi were both delicious (and generous for their pricing), and the cocktails left us wanting more. Although we'd only planned to stay for lunch, we ended up buying a cigar and enjoying it in the outdoor smoking area. The cigars will set you back a bit, but for an afternoon indulgence it was definitely worth it. We'll be back for sure!

    Loved it! The pizza was amazing, even if it was WAY too large for two people. The arancini balls are also a must. I didn't try the cocktails, but my friend ordered a Flamingo and was wowed. At $19 it wasn't a cheap drink, but she said it was well worth the price tag. The staff were all very friendly, and the swing/hip hop fusion playlist put me in a very good mood. Would I return? Yes. Would I recommend it to friends? Also yes.

    Came to JFs for dinner and were seated upstairs which was very noisy. I think it is better for drinks than dinner. Service was hit and miss as some of the waitresses seemed quite new.
