We went for Valentine's Day and sat at the bar during lunch time. It wasn't very busy and Ashleigh served us right away. She's always very attentive and makes for easy conversation. Everything we ordered came out perfectly! The clam chowder is something I recommend if you like seafood. They also have the best beat salad in town. My partner ordered a cheese pizza which we took home because we ate too much at lunch. It was perfect leftovers later! The bar staff is always willing to get creative and try something new here!

(Tradução do Google) Visitante pela primeira vez. Adorei o ambiente e o serviço foi ótimo. Tentei várias coisas. A mussarela frita foi nada assombrosa e muito cara. O pão, principalmente a foccacia, era delicioso e feito na casa. O rigatoni Cajun Alfredo foi muito bom. Minha esposa escolheu a pizza. Pizza estava ok. Saladas de cunha foram incríveis, e a sopa de milho de lagosta, embora leve na lagosta, era saborosa. Em suma, uma ótima experiência e voltaremos para experimentar outros itens do menu também.(Original)First time visitor. Loved the ambiance and service was great. Tried several things. The fried mozzarella was underwhelming and way overpriced. The bread, particularly the foccacia, was delicious and made in house. The Cajun Alfredo rigatoni was really good. My wife chose the pizza. Pizza was ok. Wedge salads were awesome, and the lobster corn chowder, while light on lobster, was tasty. All in all a great experience and we will be back to try other menu items as well.

The food was so good here that I went back twice in the same week!Both times I had different dishes. And both times each of the dishes I had along with the service that was provided was great!My first experience there the server gave some good recommendations on food choices and was genuine in her recommendations.I definitely recommend this place as a must try if you are new to the area or just visiting, like I was!!

The first time I came to Biaggi's, the food was outstanding. I am throughly impressed with the quality of food, great taste, and overall atmosphere of the restaurant. It's a great place for Italian food and would definitely pick over other Italian restaurants.

(Tradução do Google) O pão era de morrer. Macarrão e Clam Chowder estavam tão deliciosos. O gelato de baunilha era tão cremoso. Altamente recomendado!(Original)The bread was to die for. Pasta and Clam Chowder was so delicious. The vanilla bean gelato was so creamy. Highly recommend!

Biaggi is a great place for dates, anniversaries, work groups, or family dinners. I was in a group of about seven people. We made reservations ahead of time. When we arrived, our table was ready. Our waitress was terrific.In my dinner party, it was everyone’s first time at this restaurant. We all were from out of town and had a fantastic experience. You need to know there will be a wait for authentic Italian food.I ordered pasta and a drink and shared a dessert with a friend ($35), which was on our bill as half each cost. I thought that was great.The decor is beautiful. It can be romantic if you’re on a date. I plan to go again at least once a year.

(Tradução do Google) Tivemos uma ótima experiência lá. Sabíamos que uma tempestade estava chegando, mas o restaurante gentilmente a segurou até que nos sentássemos (muito bem!).Sempre que saímos para comer, a primeira coisa que procuramos é se têm opções sem glúten. Este restaurante não só tem opções sem glúten, como também tem um menu separado, no mesmo papel e com o mesmo acabamento do menu principal, acolhendo-nos como pessoas reais!O restaurante é grande e tivemos que esperar alguns minutos. Possui teto alto e ambiente um pouco mais formal.Começamos com seus bolos de caranguejo sem glúten (você leu certo: bolos de caranguejo sem glúten freekin!). Nossas papilas gustativas experimentaram um renascimento, uma transformação. Havia dois bolos e nós dois. Como amo minha esposa e ela me ama, cada um de nós comeu um (embora eu a tenha flagrado tentando roubar alguns amigos do meu prato).Depois que a equipe de garçons nos deu tempo para processar o que foi feito para o nosso paladar, ou a pizza chegou. Pedimos a pizza dos amantes de carne (bacon, linguiça, calabresa e mais carne). O molho da pizza não se estendia até a borda, mas isso é uma coisa menor. A crosta sem glúten era uma crosta de couve-flor. Veredicto: muito delicioso!(Original)We had a great experience there. We knew that a storm was coming, but the restaurant kindly held it back until we were seated (way to go!).Whenever we go out to eat, the first thing we look for is if they have gluten free options. Not only does this restaurant have gluten free options, but they have a separate menu that is on the same paper and the same finish as their main menu, thus welcoming us as real people!The restaurant is large and we had to wait a few minutes. It has a high ceiling and a slightly more formal atmosphere.We started with their gluten free crab cakes (you read that right: freekin' gluten free crab cakes!). Our taste buds experienced a rebirth, a transformation. There were two cakes and two of us. Since I love my wife and she loves me, we each had one (though I caught her trying to sneak a few friends from my plate).After the wait staff allowed us time to process what was done for our palates, or pizza came. We ordered the meat lovers pizza (bacon, sausage, pepperoni, and more meat). The pizza sauce didn't extend to the edge, but that's a minor thing. The gluten free crust was a cauliflower crust. Verdict: damned delicious!

Best Italian in Bloomington/Normal. Very extensive menu and friendly staff. Quick service and excellent quality food with large portions. Lovely decor throughout restaurant. Quiet even with a full house - great acoustics. Plenty of parking. Calamari, bacon wrapped dates are great appetizers. Pizza is good. Seafood dishes are a must try

(Tradução do Google) Ontem à noite, por volta das 20h, tive o prazer de jantar no Biaggi's, e que experiência elegante foi!Chegando com um grupo de 8 pessoas, fomos prontamente acomodados em um ambiente elegante. Nosso servidor foi excepcional - atencioso, amigável e uma delícia absoluta.Vamos ao evento principal: a comida. Para começar, optei pela salada de beterraba assada com mel e rúcula, uma combinação aparentemente pouco convencional que acabou por ser uma sensação de sabor! As nozes picantes, o queijo de cabra cremoso, a rúcula apimentada e o molho balsâmico de mel doce combinavam lindamente. O próximo foi o fettuccine com lagosta, que inicialmente me chamou a atenção com seu fettuccine preto único. Apesar da aparência pouco convencional, o prato era uma obra-prima. O fettuccine era luxuosamente cremoso e a lagosta combinava perfeitamente com os cogumelos. O tamanho da porção era generoso, deixando-me completamente satisfeito.E não esqueçamos a cesta de pães – um verdadeiro destaque. O pão estava impecavelmente crocante por fora e deliciosamente fofo por dentro, um complemento perfeito para a refeição.Embora tenhamos experimentado uma pequena espera pela comida, cada momento valeu a pena no final. Do atendimento impecável aos pratos saborosos, o Biaggi's superou as expectativas em todos os aspectos.Definitivamente recomendo!(Original)Last night, around 8pm, I had the pleasure of dining at Biaggi's, and what an elegant experience it was!Arriving with a party of 8, we were promptly accommodated in the elegant setting. Our server was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and an absolute delight.Onto the main event: the food. For starters, I opted for the honey-roasted beet and arugula salad, a seemingly unconventional combination that turned out to be a flavor sensation! The spicy walnuts, creamy goat cheese, peppery arugula, and sweet honey balsamic dressing melded together beautifully. Next up was the fettuccine with lobster, which initially caught my eye with its unique black fettuccine. Despite its unconventional appearance, the dish was a masterpiece. The fettuccine was luxuriously creamy, and the lobster paired perfectly with the mushrooms. The portion size was generous, leaving me completely full.And let's not forget the bread basket—a true highlight. The bread was impeccably crunchy on the outside and delightfully fluffy on the inside, a perfect complement to the meal.While we did experience a slight wait for our food, every moment was worth it in the end. From the impeccable service to the flavorful dishes, Biaggi's exceeded expectations in every aspect.Definitely recommend!

i hate to give a bad review based on one experience but boy did our waitress suck. my meal was decent but the rest of my family said theirs was not very good (1/4 meals = good, that’s not a good ratio!). plus my chicken was cut in half! they didn’t even give me the whole chicken breast!the our waitress only came by once to refill drinks during the 45 minute wait for our food. i always give the benefit of the doubt, but we rarely ever saw our waitress. she only had 3 tables while we were there and i constantly saw her talking with other employees instead of checking on her tables. i saw the waiter at the tables next to us 4 times as many as we saw our waitress. the wait for food was also very long. there were 4 of us, we got there and were seated at 3 and didn’t leave until after 5pm. our meals were not not complicated (three pasta dishes and one salad) and yet it took over 45 minutes to get our food. the place wasn’t even busy!!i was heavily disappointed considering this is supposed to be a nice (and expensive) establishment. by the time we left, i was really frustrated. definitely not worth your money, but at least the bathroom was nice.go to ancho and agave instead.

Quality has really gone downhill. Used to be a favorite place of mine. Tonight. My food was very salty. Green beans taste and smelled like plastic. My wife and daughter said their meal was good. Waitress didn't check on the table much. I was pretty disappointed. Biaggi's used to be one of my favorites.

The food tastes great. Our waiter was so nice and she always made sure our needs were met. I came with a big group of people (8) and she got all of our orders right and pretty quickly. Overall pretty good experience

What can I say I've been wanting to try this place for years and on a whim one night just made it happen! Very well organized, and the food matched. The bread could have been a bit warmer along with the Calamari but overall I was satisfied and will return. Good food prices and a waitress who reminded me of the late Sondra Locke-Rachel was awesome. Not bad , and I suggest the Chicken Parm with House Marinara!

(Tradução do Google) Eu tinha o Cajun Alfredo Rigatoni, tinha muito sabor, apenas calor / tempero suficiente. Meu pai comeu espaguete e almôndegas, as almôndegas eram muito grandes e o espaguete delicioso. Não posso errar de qualquer maneira.(Original)I had the Cajun Alfredo Rigatoni, it had alot.of flavor, just enough heat/spice. My father had the spaghetti and meat balls, the meatballs were very large and spaghetti delicious. Can't go wrong either way.

We had a delicious meal at Biaggi’s which included great service too. I would highly recommend the fried raviolis and braised short rib raviolis. They offer a smaller pasta size which is great if you’re not able to eat a big portion size dish. The bread is absolutely amazing!

The interior of the restaurant is GORGEOUS! The warm lighting and tall backed booths make it feel smaller and more intimate for how big it is.The best part of every meal I've ever had here is the bread, oil, and parmesan. The foccacia (I believe) was the best. It sopped up the oil and was so soft.The potato soup was flavored perfectly but needed to be about 10 degrees warmer. The classic bruschetta is always a winner. I tried a blood orange Italian cream soda and absolutely loved it. The chopped chicken salad was a definite compliment to everything else on the table... although I wished it was a little more chopped.We didn't have room for dessert this time, but I've tried the creme brulee and the tirami su, and I regret not leaving room for dessert because they are delicious.

We found this restaurant recommended because of its gluten free options, and we were not disappointed.Both of us enjoyed our meals. I think it was the best risotto I’ve ever had.Atmosphere allowed for conversation at the table which I very much appreciated.I enjoyed our server. My dining partner thought she was a bit forgetful or that things took awhile such as drink refills, but I think they were just busy.

(Tradução do Google) Melhor comida italiana em Bloomington! Melhor que já tive em qualquer lugar! Eu visito aqui toda vez que venho à cidade! Não encontrei nada no menu deles que não gostasse.

Mais uma experiência gastronômica sofisticada! Bacalhau recheado com caranguejo e feijão verde! 😋 A salada é uma delícia assim como a sopa de cebola!(Original)Best Italian food in Bloomington! Best I've had anywhere! I visit here every time I come into town!! I haven't found anything on their menu I don't like. The bread is super delicious! The Dijon Salmon is on spot .... I love the flavor and tenderness of the salmon paired with the spinach. Yummy! My favorite dessert is the mini turtle...OMG! Another fine dining experience! Crab stuffed cod and green beans! 😋 Salad is delicious as well as the onion soup!
