   This was a phenomenal experience from start to finish! We were warmly greeted by the host, taken to the dining room which is cozy and elegant, guided through some popular selections and well attended to throughout our meal. I don’t know if the presentation of each dish was the highlight or the execution and taste. We ordered apps and entrees that our group shared. We all raved about each dish. The chef came to see us and we complimented him on his artistic work and great tasting food. We loved the interaction we shared with other guests in the dining room as well. It felt like we were all guests in the chef’s home. (I wish I took more photos of our dishes.)

   Had a reservation and got sat immediately. Great service, delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and due to my girlfriend and I eating so fast we were out of there in just about an hour which is a testament to the service as we were not rushed at all, we are just fast.

   Our family of five went to this restaurant on the recommendation of a good friend …we were blown out of the water. The atmosphere was cozy Chicago. It was safe and warm and the service was excellent. Each of us ordered different dishes and they were wonderfully prepared. it is a delightful fusion of many cultures and so good that I wanted to go back. ….The next day ….parking could be a little bit of a challenge, but it is worth every effort.

    If you're looking for a restaurant that combines incredible food with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, Unico Restaurante is the place to be. The ambiance is perfect for any occasion—whether you're planning a romantic date night, a relaxed family dinner, or a fun group outing. It's intimate, yet lively, creating the perfect setting for enjoying a great meal with loved ones. We started with the appetizers, and both the fried calamari and patatas bravas were standouts. The calamari was light and crispy, served with a sweet chili sauce that was the perfect compliment. The patatas bravas were packed with flavor—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a smoky, spicy kick. For our entrees, the skirt steak with yuca fries was absolutely out of this world. The steak was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and full of flavor—while the yuca fries added a unique and delicious twist. We also tried the gnocchi in red pepper cream sauce, and it was heavenly. The gnocchi was soft and pillowy, and the creamy sauce was rich and satisfying. But the real showstopper? The desserts. Each one was not only beautifully presented but tasted even better than we expected. From the first bite, we knew they were the star of the meal. The flavors were exceptional—sweet, balanced, and decadent without being overly indulgent. Everything on the menu sounded amazing, and we’re already planning our next visit to try even more dishes. Unico Restaurante has certainly earned a spot on our list of favorites, and we can’t wait to return for another memorable dining experience. Highly recommend!
