If you like pasta stuffed with cheese, covered with cream sauce, topped with cheese and garnished with cheese (and who doesn't?), get the gnocchi gorganzola!
EVERYTHING was good! This is legit Italian food! LEGIT! Rapini Salsiccia Pizza was perfect balance of bitter greens against creamy sauce & cheesy sausage with a light & crispy crust!
The Tiramisu is out of this world.
I love linguini noodles with a tomato cream sauce!
Best Italian in Chicago! Get the Prosciutto app, and any dish with the bolognese sauce. Dessert: Torta Lava a must.
Great Calamari!!!
The cream sauce is amazing
A hidden little gem in the South Loop with really great service and really great pasta.
Great pasta specials and solid wine list. The lamb ragu gnocchi was amazing.
Highly recommend both the tortellini and gnocchi (with bolognese sauce). Make sure to get the handmade pasta. For app - goat cheese. Enjoy!
Jalepeno gnocchi is the best. Try it.
From the amazing ceviche to the aji de gallina with a walnut cream sauce, this spartan place is intriguing. - Inspector
Seco de carne like moms best pot roast. Aji de Gallina manages to be creamy & comforting but not too heavily spiced. Delicioso tamale.
This is one of those hidden gem restaurants. Small and somewhat inconspicuous, this restaurant offers great food and even better service. The owners are so friendly!
The special French toasts are generally delicious. Rhubarb crisp was out of this world. The cream sauces on their breakfast sweets are divine.
Love this place. Lines form in morning but worth the wait. If you have a sweet tooth for breakfast, this is your joint.
Bongo Room is an institution. Its just as fabulous in Andersonville as it is in Wicker Park. Anyone who says otherwise just doesnt know what they are talking about. Amazing food & amazing service!
The shrimp and black fettuccine with lobster cream sauce special was absolutely incredible. Make sure to get that extra basket of bread for dipping!
This neighborhood haunt features a range of Italian comfort food that will bring back memories of your nonna’s kitchen. Choose among stone-fired pizzas, luscious pastas, as well as seafood. Read more.
He gold diggers, I know you think that rich Gold Coast men. Hang out a few blocks south, but those are just suburbanite posers. Looking for real Gold Coast dudes, Mario's is the spot.
The curry cream sauce in the "Poulet au Curry" is unbelievably decadent. I cannot recommend it enough.
Such an amazing place, a true gem of Chicago!! Must haves include the French Onion Soup, the Chicken, Tomato and Goat Cheese Crêpe, the Bouf Borginion Crêpe, and the Banana and Nutella crêpe
Tell your friends you were a part of history (just by filling your belly!) - La Creperie is the oldest creperie in the USA.
Black ink linguine with shrimp, scallop, and smoked salmon in tomato cream sauce
Old Town's Wells St. Corridor stations Topo Gigio, a comfortable setting for a quieter lunchbreak. A favorite: spaghetti loaded with mussels, scallops, clams in lively marinara sauce ($19). Read more.
amazing outdoor dining!
Some of the best service I've ever had! Everyone was so friendly! Gorgeous interior. Loved the On Tap Pinot Noir and the rolled eggplant app. Can't wait to come back when we are hungrier!
Get the meatballs!!!
Great food, great service,
Real deal the BEST Italian Food and atmosphere...I just love it here....you all should check it out!!!!
As seen on Diners, Dive-ins, and Dives on Food Network. So good, and the staff is awesome!
This place is amazing!!! It's real Italian food with prices that are insanely cheap. ! Decent service
Start with the shumai as an appetizer, it's to die for. Also, the tuna salad with pepper tuna and wasabi cream sauce is great.
Head to this place with a 6-pack and a friend. They have amazing all you can eat sushi. But be careful you can eat until you explode!
Try the Orecchiette Tartufate. Mild Italian sausage, wild mushrooms, black truffle paste and fontina cream sauce. Worth getting off a diet for.
The short rib risotto is amazing!
My neighborhood coffee shop, restaurant, bar. Great atmosphere! Friendly people, good menus from breakfast, lunch & dinner or anytime in between. Will try the cocktails sometime.
Brunch was fantastic, as was the huge portion of tiramisu
Good until now
The mussels are fabulous - make sure you order bread to soak up the savory, garlic & lemon sauce!
Fusilli! Reasonable wine list.
Everything
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
