Vapiano Chicago Loop

Chi va piano va sano e va lontano – world wide.
“Chi va piano, va sano e va lontano”: According to an Italian proverb, “If you have an easy-going and relaxed approach to life, you’ll live more healthily and longer”. And this is exactly the attitude which is lived every day in our Vapianos—by both our guests and our employees, the Vapianisti. It has been this way since the 22nd of October, 2002, when the first Vapiano in Hamburg, Germany, opened its doors at the “Hohen Bleichen”. Two years later, the founders decided to set Vapiano on a world tour as a franchise concept. Today there are already more than 200 Vapianos in 33 countries on 5 continents, and many more international openings planned for the future.

In cities around the world, people who meet in our relaxed setting share one important quality: the love of enjoying life and sharing spontaneous and genuine companionship.

The long oak tables in the Vapianos are an open invitation to communication—with friends, family, or simply with other guests. Conversation comes easy in good company where all are talking, laughing, and of course, having a wonderful dining experience.

Pasta, pizzas, antipasti and salads are ordered directly from the chefs at the individual stations in the middle of the Vapiano. The chefs prepare all of the dishes to order in front of the guests. Everyone can have his meal prepared to his own personal preference. Favorite dishes can be created, and then individually refined. The herb garden
