4worldlovers: "When American doughnuts die, they go to heaven and turn into Bomboloni." - Fabio Viviani, Executive Chef & Partner

Since 2015, BomboBar has been a staple in Chicago's West Loop - Fulton Market neighborhood. The quaint walk-up window started as DineAmic Hospitality principals David Rekhson and Lucas Stoioff's playful idea stemming from Top Chef Fan Favorite and Executive Chef Fabio Viviani's famous bomboloni.

A bomboloni (pronounced bomb-bo-loni) is a holeless Italian doughnut and first made an appearance on sister-venue Siena Tavern's dessert menu. After receiving praise and compliments on the dessert dish, Rekhson and Stoioff decided to turn an extra dessert prep area at their upcoming West Loop concept, Bar Siena, into a side concept focusing on the item. The concept name and identity centers around the story of the "bombo" and the secret recipe Fabio keeps close to his heart.

Not only are the donuts beyond this world, I mean it. That expression of slap your mama is how Fantastic these donuts are. So fluffy, airy, and flavorful these donuts will have you coming back. I would advise to call to make sure they have donuts available as they do run out quick. Thank you Jesus we got lucky when they started rebaking fresh donuts. Definitely do yourself a favor and get the Dozen with the variety of flavors available. Honestly everything is epic from the Fritter to chocolate cake bites. You can’t go wrong here. Lastly, the owners are so personable they alone will have you coming back for the warm inviting conversation.

I was in Oak Lawn for a doctor’s appointment and needed a bite to eat. I was actually just a block away from this place and I am so happy I stopped. The woman working was an absolute joy! I must have had that “newbie” look so she gave me the scoop on the place and samples of both the buttermilk and yeast donut holes. My dad made donuts for us growing up and that’s what these reminded me of. So fresh and delicious! Perfectly crispy on the outside and still warm on the inside. I definitely need to stop by again. The six pack I bought didn’t last long!

I went for donut holes on a Saturday and got there too late, but the owner talked to us and made us feel like family. She told us all about her grandson and son. She then packed up our Carmel cakes and glazed donuts, and to our surprise she filled an entire dozen box with extras without additional charge! She told me "Happy Mother's Day!" With a smile! Every single flavor of the donuts were delicious! The owners are incredibly encouraging and generous people selling an amazing product! You've got to try them out!
