The only reason I'm giving it a 4/5 is because for $19 I wish the sandwhich was bigger (or the…read moreprice was lower...). I'm not going to lie... I can't stop thinking about the sandwich I ate here. They have two vegetarian options on their menu and I went with the Modena sandwich. It was perfectly sweet, a little salty and had the most delicious pistachio cream. The focaccia bread it was made on was perfectly chewy as well. I wish they had more sides on their menu so I could try!

Lizzano is a true neighborhood staple--we've ordered from here and stopped in at least 10-15 times…read moresince they opened, and it never misses. The bread is always fresh, the ingredients taste high-quality, and everything just hits. Our go-tos are the Il Carnivoro, Sicilla, Piccante, and the Italino... but honestly, I'd trust anything on the menu at this point. Also, their happy hour is such an underrated gem--Wednesday through Sunday from 5-7pm. They do 50% off Italian boards (perfect for a girls' night) and $9 spritzes. We're heading there this week and already looking forward to it.

Zarella seriously never disappoints me. This is hands down the best pizza I've had in Chicago…read more My absolute favorite is the tavern style mushroom and truffle pizza. It is thin and crispy like a cracker and comes covered in cheese and mushrooms with a subtle truffle flavor. I also love both their sunday salad and kale caesar. I've always had outstanding service here as well.

The salad is delicious and I particularly love the avocado on top and the quinoa crunch. The service was quick. You order at the counter and then they bring your food out to you. The price is reasonable. We sat outside on the patio on this beautiful spring day. Indoor seating is offered as well. Great place to pick up a healthy meal.

My food took a long time. Probably about 20 minutes or longer. But it was so worth it. I ordered a dog, fries & cheese sauce, and a bottled water. I devoured it all. The taste was unreal. It was the best hot dog I've ever tasted. The quality of the meat was perfection. When I bit in the sausage, it would snap back. The flavors were complimentary, everything paired well together. When I'm back in the Chi, I will be back. I'll just prepare for a long wait.

The wife and I this time got: Chicago dog (fully loaded) - dog is always good but I'm never a fan of all the toppings as it sogs the bun. It's still good but the wife loves it. Italian beef - here is where I feel they shine. The meat quality, bun, peppers, side pickle...all the flavors all come together so well it's a closed eye chewing in slow motion moment! Service was great (with a smile)! Also, a very cleanly restaurant makes Portillo's a must go for me. It just makes you smile!

The cold brew was awesome, they have several roasts on tap and even ask what kind of roast you want, which was a cool touch. Waited about 15 minutes for my sandwich, which was totally fine considering how busy it was. There's tons of seating inside, so it'd be a great spot to post up with a laptop or just relax. Tried the tuna avocado melt when I got home and it was perfect fresh, flavorful, and came with some crispy tots on the side. Solid portion and not too pricey. Definitely above-average food for a coffee shop. I'll for sure be back soon.

I really want to like them so much more than I do. If there were a continuum from hipster deli…read more(think Mile End) to traditional deli (Manny's, 2nd Avenue, etc) Schneider would on the hipster side of center. Two of us shared a half pound pastrami on rye with a side of hash browns. The rye was pretty decent but the pastrami was sliced far too thick and the meat was lean. That is not a good thing when it comes to pastrami and I attribute the lean meat to the deli catering to its hipster-ish audience. Although the flavor was decent, the sandwich was dry and difficult to eat. We disagreed on the generously sized pickle. One of us thought the flavor was just right, the other not so much. We both agreed on the hash browns. It's a no-go. They were well fried but entirely unseasoned. I understand the lack of schmaltz but there was no onion or salt or anything else. Waffle House has nothing to worry about. (IYKYK) Service was fast and polite. The space is tiny, but it works. Prices are okay for this area but if you want traditional deli in Chicago, go to Manny's.
