Great food, great vibe, but our food took over 45 mins to come out and we got pretty simple food to make and it wasn’t that full there. Staff was still very nice so 4/5 stars.
The kitchen was understaffed and disorganized. Grubhub and other services were the priority. We waited over an hour for appetizers and soup. Our waitress was very attentive and this clearly wasn't her fault. When we finally got our entrees, two and half hours later, the food was overcooked, bland, and not edible. The comped some of the bill, but whole evening was ruined. He had paid for 2.5 hours of parking and as a result came out to a ticket as a result of the whole evening. It would not be somewhere that I would give a second chance based on all factors.
Great food and service. Everything we ordered was fantastic.
Expectacular service and great food

Our server was amazing. Best meatball salad I've ever had. It's my new favorite place in the South Loop!
Great food, atmosphere and I felt safe with the CoVid restrictions. Great value for the price. Only down side was I got the wrong check but it was quickly corrected.
This didn’t feel covid safe.
Thank you for your 5-star rating. We are sorry if at any point you felt uncomfortable. Please always bring to our attention if you ever need anything and we will always do our very best to accomodate. We appreciate your dining with us.
Food was left out next to our table for ten minutes before we were served. It was cold even when reheated. Service was slow and was inattentive.
Had a 2 hour dinner, and most of it was spent just trying to get a servers attention. Ate dinner with only water because our drinks kept getting messed up and at the end when they were going to “fix” them no body ever came back with any drinks so it was just easier to stick to water.
Our first dinner date since early 2020! Thank you for maintaining good service and responsible social distancing during this difficult time. Our first visit to Victory Tap and we will definitely be returning and recommending your restaurants. The grigliato misto was excellent!!
great experience servers definitely earned their tip food was great compliments to the chef
A nice surprise! Have walked by Victory many times, didn't know it was such a great restaurant. Super service, great food, nice atmosphere. Definitely will be going back.
Thank you for choosing to give us a try. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time with us. We hope to see you again very soon!!

We are sincerely sorry if you felt uncomfortable. We do our best to maintain covid compliance and create a wonderful experience for our guests. We truly appreciate your choosing to dine with us.
Valentines dinner with my beautiful bride.
A classic old school Italian restaurant with great food, a friendly and accommodating staff. The place was packed and lively with an energetic vibe.
Joking around with our server I asked how can an Italian place not have puttanesca sauce on their menu and to my delight she responded “we can make it for you just tell me how you like it”. What a beautiful thing
So I had the Salmon puttanesca over spaghetti extra spicy for good measure. My bride had her usual standby, the chicken parm. The food was excellent the drinks were good and the service was friendly and relaxed. They don’t rush you and give you time to enjoy the experience
We will be back.
We were first timers and Victory Tap had come highly recommended. Not only from personal friends but, based on reviews. Our waitress was great, helpful, informative and upbeat. I am sorry I don't recall her name. The roasted brussel sprouts we ordered were left off of the delivered order and it was a nice touch that they were delivered relatively quickly by the gentleman who appeared to be the manager or host. We were also greeted during dinner by Nicole who shared her role with the restaurant and how long she had been associated but, those details escape me. She was also kind and friendly. The night ended with the wonderful surprise of tiramisu. Not sure if it was because it was the day before Valentines Day, because of the delayed brussel sprouts or just a kind gesture but, it was perfect and greatly appreciated. The only part of the night that wasn't perfect was one of the waiters who was serving the table next to ours consistently wore his mask under his nose. Stocky, bald, louder fellow who seemed very attentive to the tables he served but, we felt it dumb luck that the one server who was not wearing his mask properly would be serving the table next to ours.
Ultimately, we left there very pleased with the first time experience and knew without question, we would be back!!
Thank you for much for choosing to spend the evening with us. We enjoy providing a great dining experience. We are so sorry that the mask was an issue and we will review all of our staff the importance of a properly fittling mask. Thank you for the thoughtful review. We do hope you will join us again soon!
Excellent as always our favorite place!
Lucy, thank you so much for the 5-star review. We hope you join us again soon.

High quality, authentic italian food, great service
Thank you for the 5-star review. So glad you enjoyed your time with us. We hope to see you again soon.
Although it was my birthday I was reluctant to dine in because of COVID but my family convinced me it would be safe and it was. The staff were very welcoming, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious! The fried calamari was hot, crisp and cooked to perfection. We had the Chicken Parmesan, Brick Chicken and the Shrimp Risotto. Every dish was outstanding. You must try the tiramisu and the pumpkin cheesecake. All in all I am truly glad I had a wonderful experience and a very, very good meal on my day!!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are honored that you chose to celebrate your birthday with us, so glad it was a great day for you!! Please join us again soon.
First time trying this restaurant and it’s location is down the street from me. Food and service is very good and highly recommend if ever in the area to experience it for themselves.
Thank you for your kind recommendation. We hope you join us again soon.
Fabulous service and delicious food!!!
Thank you so much! Please join us again soon.
Extensive wine list was probably the best thing about this place. The spirits wasn’t mixed great or the bartender didn’t know how to make a whiskey sour.
The stuffed shells were pretty good but the Whitefish Calabrese didn’t feel like a “special” entree.
I went once before pre Covid and the food was solid Italian fair.
May just return for the full service bar after work.
We are sorry to see you had a 3-star experience with us. We appreciate your dining with us and hope that we can make your experice better.

Looking for a place with outdoor seating close to me and found this place. They have 5 or maybe even 7 outdoor tables right in sidewalk in front of restaurant. Given the situation I wanted to be outside and even though the tables are on a busy street we really didn’t notice too much, but just know it’s not a quiet garden setting.
Service was excellent and waiter was very warm and engaging. My son even commented how nice he was. They have a decent selection of Italian wine, most all of which you can get by the glass. I got a traditional bolenase and my son got chicken scallopini. His dish was very good, mine was good but not noteworthy. Dinner came with a side of pasta and small serving of garlic bread which was a nice bonus. We also got the tiramisu which was excellent. Ambiance (even outside) was very nice, very friendly staff, good food and wine (my glass of red was particularly good, wish I could remember what it was). I would totally go back again.
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed yourselves!! Upon looking we see that the wine you were drinking was Avignonesi Cantoloro... one of our favorites also. Cheers! We hope to see you again soon.
Staff and food is always amazing. Our server Bobby is the best and always great to talk to. The environment is clean, safe and comfortable as always. You can never go wrong at Victory Tap.
Thank you for the very kind 5-star review. We hope to see you again soon!
