“The byob was fun, but it is easy to overserve yourself.”
“Risotto was a little disappointing, but our very apologetic server provided dessert on the house to compensate.”
“gelato with expresso sauce is an egg size scoop of gellato with expresso poured over it, sort of like soupy luke warm coffee.”
“The worst thing about it is how pretentious the place and the management seem: don't waste your money: there are plenty of better -and way cheaper- places for pizza and good Italian food in town.”
“Service was excellent, small but interesting menu, food very good, nice atmosphere, prices are a little high, but BYOB helped.”
“As Italian I can say Follia is definetly the best Italian restaurant in town, top 3 in the whole US.”
“Food was good, but for all the hassle will not go back.”
“Like it a lot and good people watching.”
“Special of fusseli with salmon had an off taste and very little salmon, expensive $35, raviolli with pheasant in chestnut sauce was terrible.”View Less
Best in neighborhood. Like it a lot and good people watching. The food is always good but can be expensive. The owner is very colorful and watches the dining room. It is definitely the best restaurant in the neighborhood. I think they have a new place that I want to try.…
Very Good. Very fashionable! Good menu and very authentic.
BEST ITALIAN IN TOWN. As Italian I can say Follia is definetly the best Italian restaurant in town, top 3 in the whole US. Pizza is even better than in Italy and the atmosphear is very friendly. The owner is extremely careful to details. the ingredients used are top quality. Wines are also great, there is all u need to have a delicious dinner!…
Substandard and pretentious. Lame to say the least. You'll end up paying 50 bucks for a burnt pizza and a glass of wine consumed in a tiled narrow room that seems more like the bottom of a gloomy swimming pool. The worst thing about it is how pretentious the place and the management seem: don't waste your money: there are plenty of better -and way cheaper- places for pizza and good Italian food in town.…
totally strange. If you're expecting an Italian restaurant, don't go to Follia. They trick you on many levels. First, the atmosphere will leave you stratching your head. I understand trendy, I don't understand hands coming out of a brick wall and manequins everywhere when I want to eat. I also don't understand green tile on a bar in Chicago...I thought I was in Miami. The one good thing I can say about my experience there was our bottle of wine was delicious as was the veal saltambocua. We too got tricked by the Market Price veal chop. Not only was it not a good cut of veal, it was breaded and fried to look like nothing more than a veal cutlet with some lettuce and tomatoes thrown on top...and they have the nerve to charge $50!!!! The veal saltambocua was much more tasty and half the cost. All in all a puzzling experience.…
