About the restaurant

Mangia Tutto features both Chicago “Deep Dish,” the perceived Chicago-style pizza; as well as, thin crust square cut “Tavern Style” pizza. As native Chicagoans we will tell you while we relished the occasional “Deep Dish” pizza, they were often only enjoyed on special occasions. The thin crust pie is the true “Chicago Pizza” readily available in any Chicago neighborhood.

Food was amazing, perfectly priced as well. Our waitress was so kind, and our seat was just perfect. Meal proportions were a lot more than I was expecting, and the taste of everything we ordered was to die for

David’s grill is the best! Many of us go there frequently for breakfast meetings, lunch meetings, dinners or spontaneous occasions. The staff and servers are always great and the food is good, too. It’s a great local sitdown restaurant with great atmosphere and people.

I this was our first time visiting this restaurant. We shared a flight of craft beer which was really nice. We got to choose which six we wanted to try. My husband had the Porchetta sandwich and I had the fish, shrimp,and chips. The Porchetta sandwich was definitely one to try!!! The breading on the fish and shrimp was a little too thick and soggy for my liking. We definitely would like to go back though and try another dish. And we really enjoyed the ambience.

We tried Sparks Water Bar for lunch and the food was great! We also sat at a table by the window, which has a nice view looking out on the water. For lunch, it is a little pricey, but sometimes some really great food and a nice view are worth the splurge.

We love coming here before the theater and taking guests visiting from out of town. The menu never disappoints. The cocktail menu is just as great. It was definitely busy with the theater and there were only a couple servers, one bartender, chef and team, and front of house. But everyone was chipping in and helping to bring food out and clear plates. It was great to see the teamwork happening. We were kind of bummed that we couldn’t get the hummus appetizer due to the pizza oven not working properly, but these things happen. Overall, it was another great experience. We look forward to returning.

The Nuggets Oyster Bar has always been one of my favorite restaurants. The food and service are both excellently, friendly and profession. The ambience has always been something I enjoy as I love nautical themes. Also Open table is the only way to go, very easy and efficient.
