repurposing grapes that might otherwise be overlooked.

Saba Italian Bar + Kitchen showcases modern Italian dishes with an elevated twist in a casual atmosphere. Meant to be enjoyed family style, our menu features house-made pizzas, pastas, small plates and desserts, complementing an international wine list, unique & creative cocktails, and boozy Italian cream sodas.

    Kate, our server, was so sweet and helpful. I absolutely love Saba--I go there with friends as well as for date nights with my fiance, and the food and staff never disappoint. We also took our friends from Indiana and Brazil (a first timer to Chicago!) on our last trip and they loved it. We'll always come back!!!

    Went with my wife to celebrate my birthday. Looking for good food, service, and relaxing ambiance. Got it all and more! Very friendly welcome as if truly happy to see us come in. Very nice atmosphere of an inviting, low lighting, quiet dinner crowd. Immediately, sat us. Host gave us a choice of tables. A nice evening so we chose a table next to large open front windows. Our waiter, Diego, was wonderfully engaging and funny, personable. Drinks very good; appetizer was a kale salad, delicious and main course portions were extremely generous. I had my favorite chicken Parmigiano - perfect. Diego brought out a large piece of tiramisu for my birthday, on the house. Had to take two boxes to go. The perfect evening.

    We were there on Monday, the restaurant wasn’t too busy. With that in mind I think the drink order could’ve been better, we had to ask for our martinis twice before they brought them to us after we already finished our appetizers. Overall it was good but it could’ve been better.

    We ate here before a show and we could not have been more pleased. The food was great, prices were reasonable, and the staff was very friendly. Service was a little slow but I think that is the Italian way-a nice, leisurely meal. I would definitely eat here again if we are ever in the area.

    Saba was a real treat! We’ve lived nearby for a long time and just haven’t had a chance to try it until now. From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. The service was incredible, and the food was to die for. The meal ended with a surprise sorbet on the house with homemade limoncello poured over. Such a gem!

    This was the first time I had been to SABA for dinner and it just so happen to be during Happy Hour, which was wonderful and unexpected. (Monday-Friday 4-6pm). They had a short list of $6 cocktails, two of which I tried, both of which were amazing. My friend and I both got the gnocchi for an entrée and it was a huge portion of food that left us quite full. It was well worth the price and the pesto on the dish was fantastic. The staff is always so courteous and attentive. SABA is my go-to in Logan Square for brunch, but now I will be back for dinner to try more of their delicious cocktails and dishes!

    I’ve been to Saba multiple times, and it’s been an incredible experience every time. The service is attentive, respectful, and above and beyond. And the FOOD! You can’t go wrong with ordering literally anything on the menu. Since moving to Chicago, this has become a staple of mine and is THE place I take people when they come to visit me.

    Fantastic service, great food and drinks. Music was very loud, even in the dining area and aimed for a younger crowd (not classic Italian music that would compliment the food). They did turn it down a little, upon our request, as it was difficult to have a conversation. However the music volume inched it's way up through the evening. Make sure you save some room for desert or an after-meal coffee (or both), as both were outstanding.

    Pasta is definitely they’re strength, however our server just didn’t put out enough energy. He got to my table and didn’t even say hi he just stood there and I was like I guess I’ll have an aperol spritz? He didn’t really try to sell us anything or explain the food. Whoever does the marketing on Instagram needs a raise because the food & service is better advertised online than it is in person.

    Wonderful choice for a birthday celebration! For a party of 8, they had a lot of room! So many things to love about the restaurant. Our waitress was absolutely fantastic! Very attentive and all orders were brought correctly. The food portions were large and very tasty. I love that they have the type of skinny fries that kids love. It is also rare to find a restaurant with grilled chicken for kids (vs the breaded chicken tender). 10/10 for me. Would highly recommend this restaurant!
