The squid ink pasta is to die for! Also the drink #4 was delicious. If you can't get a reservation they have a lot of tables by the bar that you can get into quickly.
The squid ink linguini is absolutely amazing. Great service, knowledgable and friendly. A new fave
Must get the Squid Ink Linguini w. Lobster- best pasta dish in the city. And sit at the Crudo Bar and ask DeAngelo to make you his French Pear Martini!
On the pricey side for some things, but the quality and atmosphere are well worth it. Their pastas are perfectly cooked, even the ever-so-simple and satisfying spaghetti chitarra al cacio e pepe.
Loved walking around and seeing everything being made fresh! Really enjoyed the fresh spinach spaghetti
Great shopping and fresh food. Love the Pizza and the pasta at La Pasta.
Building may look run down but the food is awesome. There's always a long wait so make sure you have reservations. Best Gnocchi in town (pair it with their Arrabbiata sauce)
Arrabiata pasta & truffle pasta are the best! So delicious & tasty. The service is good here too but come early to avoid waiting.
Try the Black Spaghetti With Scallops, Shrimp, & Lump Crab in a Rose Sauce - (via @Foodspotting)
Prime Meatballs are delicious and so is short rib pappardelle.
Must try spinach lobster ravioli & eggplant parmesan-Filling! Apps-garlic bread. Didnt care for provolone peppers or artichokes. Dessert-TARTUFO-Amazeballs! Big Ferrero rocher w choco icecream inside.
Lobster Ravioli, Truffle Garlic Bread, Brussels Sprout Salad & Roasted Mushrooms were great!! Party atmosphere provided by Bill & Juliana Ransic. Formerly Ben Pao location...check it out!
Can't go wrong, but tortellini and short ribs are to die for. Tiramisu isn't on the dessert menu, but they've had it and it's delicious!
Lovely olive mix, veal meatballs are ok, the tortellini with ham and peas is wonderfully rich and the papparadelle is tasty. Zeppolles (pic) are light and fluffy w/ very delicious chocolate sauce.
Good for groups or dates. Multiple seating options: bar, patio or main dining room. Get the: pizza, cheap wine, bacon wrapped dates and tortellini ❤️
The pasta are made in-house and absolutely delicious. I was here for restaurant week, and both pasta and antipasto dish were awesome. Excellent customer service ... And wine 🍷
The stand out winners were the diver scallops, crostini, pesto pasta, and polenta fish rillette. Great home made pastas.
Loved everything- the bruschetta and pasta. Try the cacio whey Pepe
Be certain to check the specials! If the smoked chicken ravioli is available, it's a MUST HAVE. It may be a million calories and fat grams, but it's worth it. Also, the Banana Cake for dessert, if
Jalapeño gnocchi is the bomb. Also try the portabella mushroom with Gorgonzola.
They make a great Cosmo and the pasta with fresh mozzarella and tomatoes was awesome!
Great pasta, great atmosphere and there is an attached bar next door. I love the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. Yum.
The tortellini was fantastic and the farfalle was even better! 10/10 would go again.
The burgers are killer, but don't miss the mac & cheese, it's the best in Chicago in my opinion.
Kuma's has the BEST mac and cheese I have ever had in a restaurant in my life!
The burgers are HUGE! Staff is friendly - make sure to make your own Mac & Cheese - enough to share
Five women shared two "toast" items (beef tartar and boratti with heirloom tomatoes), two pastas, mussels, french fries and the steak followed by warm brownie with ice cream and blackberries. Delish.
Get the bone marrow, the pasta, and all of their desserts. Skip the cocktails if you're not picky and get their table wine
Quite a gem. The shrimp & grits transformed my generally negative impression of grits. The Pork Belly was fall off the bone to die for and the truffle pasta complimented everything else very nicely.
I got the chicken sandwich and it was amazing. The coleslaw inside added a nice savory crunch. The Mac and cheese is also great. It has a little spice that really adds dimension.
Corn bread, fried Chicken and mac n' cheese!
The fried chicken is of course amazing. Also may favorite Mac and cheese around.
The cardinale chicken and lobster ravioli are delicious; the home-made pasta and sauces are unbelievable! You can't go wrong with the Butternut squash soup, either.
Get the sauce from the lobster ravioli on some homemade linguini with meatballs. It's not on the menu but they're awesome so they'll do it for you.
I’ve always had excellent service here. Highly recommend the gnocchi with pesto as well as the lobster ravioli.
Get the spaghetti Nero "frutti di mare" (seafood with black pasta) it's amazing! Great calamari too.
Peruse the thoughtful wine list, while settling on pizza topped with Mascarpone, sausage, mozzarella and herbs or string-cut black spaghetti with mussels, shrimp, calamari, clams and tomatoes. Read more.
Lovely outdoor seating. All the pastas are great, and you can get them in appetiser portion as well!
Vegan slice night is amazing!!!! And the staff is SUPER friendly!! Vegan Mac and cheese and the spinach is awesome too!
You could order plain old pepperoni at this creative pizzeria, but then you'd be missing out on crazier toppings such as s'mores, Philly cheese steak or chicken penne alfredo. Read more.
OMFG Dimo's, a must. Ranch, Mac n cheese and marshmallow are all amazing.
Pulled pork, bbq ribs, brisket,... you name it! AMAZING! As for sides, the mac & cheese is wonderful. If you order fries, it comes in a BIG bag.
Every this is finger licking good. The sauce is slightly spicy and ha a little kick, but enough to leave you wanting more. The Mac and cheese is crispy and delicious. :)
Try the brisket! The fries and mac 'n cheese are very good as well.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
