    Tre Dita is easily one of the best Italian restaurants in Chicago. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance is stunning—warm, sophisticated, and full of energy. Even on a Tuesday night, the place was packed with a mix of business meetings, date nights, and groups just enjoying a great meal. It’s the kind of spot that works for any occasion. The food? Absolutely outstanding. The Kagoshima Wagyu was a dream—melt-in-your-mouth tender, rich, and perfectly cooked. It’s one of those dishes you take a bite of and immediately know you’ll be thinking about it later. The chicken was another standout, incredibly crispy on the outside and so juicy inside that it felt almost unreal. Then there’s the pasta—handmade and exceptional. The olive and lemon flavors in one dish were bright and refreshing, while the arrabbiata brought the heat. A bit spicier than expected, but next time, I might opt for something else—there are plenty of options to explore. Their wine selection was excellent, well-curated to match the richness of the dishes. If there’s one thing I’d skip, it’s the desserts. The tiramisu leaned too sweet, and the gelato was just average—not bad, but not as memorable as everything else. Overall, Tre Dita delivers on every level—food, service, and atmosphere. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back, not just for the incredible Italian flavors but for the whole experience.

    Our high tea experience was amazing. We were celebrating my mothers 89th birthday and my daughter was coming from away as a surprise. The floor manager and waiter were wonderful in helping pull off the surprise which was so lovely. The food and tea and ambiance was wonderful and the service was beyond amazing. Even my 90 year old father enjoyed himself more than he thought he would. Can’t say enough about the whole experience
