Reviews for Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano in Champaign, IL
I brought a group of 6 for a work dinner and it was great. The bacon wrapped dates are my favorite appetizer. Everyone enjoyed... their meals. The service was prompt. Good drink selection. All in all a great evening out to dinner. Read more
I love the outdoor seating, we try to call in advance and make a reservation just for it. Of course, the bread with the parmesan... -olive oil is the best, and they even pack some for take-away orders, which is really sweet - especially during COVID - when wethought we would miss out on the warm fresh bread. We tried the Pepperoni Pizza, the Chicken Parmesan, the Dijon Salmon, andthe Rigatoni Bolognese. Complimentary Bread + Oil - the bread was - mashed potato-based focaccia and herby sourdough withparmasean-enhanced olive oil. We have many a time asked for extra, as everyone at the tables scoops up plenty without anyhesitation, and they always provide! Pepperoni Pizza - it was good, but I wished there were a little bit more pepperoni slicesfor the price of the pizza. Chicken Parmesan - was my favorite, to be honest - The chicken was very tender and the sauce wasmore than enough to scoop onto each bite. And the side of three cheese Rigatoni was a great compliment to the chicken. DijonSalmon - the grilled salmon was great, especially with the capellini that was a bit sober with the intensity of flavoring,without overpowering the salmon itself. The dijon was something I didn't expect would go well with the Salmon, but I was quitesurprised. Rigatoni Bolognese - the Bolognese was amazing and to be honest it was my first time eating Rigatoni, which was quiteexciting. Even though it was just another shape of pasta, I enjoyed it with the bolognese. Highly recommend it, especially forthe warm bread and oil!! Read more

Tonight's experience was pretty good. The service was slow, but the quality was right where it needed to be. The crab stuffed... cod was delicious. Read more
The food was decent. We ordered two different types of bruschetta. The fig and apple bruschetta was very good. We also ordered... the roasted sirloin bruschetta. I was left disappointed with the sirloin bruschetta. The meat was shockingly similar to lunchmeat. Our adult beverages were on par. My wife's gin martini had a tad too much vermouth but it was fine. My old fashioned wasgood but nothing over the top. I ordered the short rib ravioli. It was salty and frankly the flavor and texture reminded me of abrisket MRE. My wife ordered the small portion of fettuccine Alfredo. The portion was exactly what she was looking for. Thenoodles were cooked very well however the sauce was lacking and distinguishing flavor. Think olive garden Read more
My culinary journey was warm and memorable. Fresh baked bread ???? partnered with chefs chicken Florentine soup brought comfort... to my soul. Braised short rib ravioli was a first for me and one I look forward to having again. I really appreciate theoption to order a small pasta portion. My server was very accommodating. Wine list offered me an exceptional Sangiovese by theglass which is always welcomed . Read more
So delighted to find a Biaggi’s on our journey. The Roasted Beet & Arugula Salad a delight to behold and taste. With a large... gluten free menu I was happy with my Chicken Parmesan and they have the best black current tea! Ebony was a fantastic server;it was all good! Read more
My partner and myself came in around one o'clock on a Friday for a late lunch meet up. The restaurant was busy but not packed. ... We did have a few minutes to wait while they cleared a table. The restaurant was very clean and neat in appearance, the staffwell dressed and brisk in their duties. We were shown to our seat and we put in an appetizer order of calamari. Drinks cameshortly thereafter, raspberry tea's, cold and refreshing. Our server returned shortly with the calamari, and took our ordersfor entrees. Fettuccine with lobster for me and Marsala for her. Entrees took a little while to be served, but the calamariwas piping hot, crunchy and cooked to a perfect texture. We had not quite finished our appetizer when the pasta dishes arrived. Both entrees were hot, rich, and delicious. Coupled with fresh bread, and a dish of olive oil and parmesan cheese, it made fora filling, savory meal on a very cold winter day. We would definitely recommend, and will return next time through town. Read more
