Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Chicago Ridge

Best staff. Best food. Best vibes. Will return over and over.

The table bread is a must. The Cacio e Pepe pillows (so fluffy) and Rigatoni (just a little spicy in a good way) were delicious! Fried potatoes and delicate squash were excellent. Roasted chicken was just a little crispy and so flavorful. Soppressata pizza was sweet and salty. So good. Can’t wait for leftovers. Tossed salad was just ok IMO.

Excellent pizza. Meatballs and salad were also very good! Can’t wait to go back when they have a liquor license.

First time there and it was fantastic! We will definitely be back. My husband said his rigatoni vodka was the best, but I think my mushroom fav was!

Read this twice…This is the best Italian restaurant in the city. Been coming here for 5+ years and never a miss. Not just that, but every single time our experience is absolutely memorable. Mark and the team prioritize quality food with impeccable hospitality. It always feels like you are stepping into the home of your family, which can be hard to imagine in the bustle of river north. There are plenty of more lavish or expensive spots to do Italian food, but I promise you that few hold a candle to this establishment. Last night we celebrated my mom’s birthday and her and my dad requested Prosecco for the celebration. The team here made it incredibly special for her and we were able to share a wonderful meal. They ask to come here every time they visit from Florida! We always look forward to returning:)
