    Mortadella e Pistachio**
    Vik S.

    Score is heavily carried by the value, pistachio pizza, and tiramisu. The lack of structural integrity in the undercarriage was quite disappointing. Not a big fan of pizza that disintegrates as you go further in. The pistachio pizza held it together better, prob due to lack of sauce. Was quite enjoyable actually. Good flavors. The sausage pizza however deconstructed real quick hence the 44/50 ranking of pizza in the US. Focaccia was solid, prob hard to mess up and Tiramisu was delightful. A bit too mascarpone-y but there are worse things.

    Coda Di Volpe is definitely a must visit. I placed an order online and the pizza was ready by the promised time. The pick up window is on the side of the building. The restaurant itself was packed and so was the pick up window. I ordered their Margherita Pizza and their Spicy Pepperoni from the Foxhole. Both pizzas were delicious but their Spicy Pepperoni was definitely my favorite. It came with mozzarella, red sauce, Calabrian chilli paste and pepperoni on a square cut Sicilian style pizza. I will definitely be returning very soon.

    I booked Coda di Volpe through Resy for my birthday and had high expectations. The restaurant printed "Happy Birthday" with my name on the menu, which made me hopeful for a thoughtful experience. Unfortunately, the evening fell far short. The rigatoni lacked depth and flavor -- at places like Tre Dita or Ciccio Mio, a bite of pasta feels intentional and satisfying, but here it felt flat and forgettable. There was also a stray piece of a different pasta mixed into the rigatoni. When I pointed it out, the response was that the pasta is made in-house and must have gotten mixed in, followed by asking if the entire dish was like that. The response felt minimizing and missed the point -- it made the experience feel sloppy, not thoughtful. When we asked for crushed red pepper to help with the flavor, we were given a very small amount to share between two people. The wine service felt inconsistent. The majority of nearby tables had proper stemmed wine glasses -- including the table next to us who ordered the same wine by the glass -- yet we were given stemless tumblers. When I asked, I was told stemmed glasses are only provided if requested or when ordering a bottle. That explanation didn't align with what we saw around us and felt like a justification rather than a real explanation. The glass we received felt more like something you'd drink from at home, not what you'd expect at a restaurant at this price point. The lack of standardization made the experience feel less polished. The "special" focaccia was especially disappointing -- more like a dry, cardboard-like flatbread than anything worth the price. During service, a server's coat fell onto the dish as it was being delivered, and the server described the pasta as "beautiful," which didn't match the reality of the dish. The espresso martini was extremely bitter and not enjoyable. The complimentary birthday gelato, offered only after I raised a concern, was also disappointing -- it appeared to be a fruit flavor, but it was so bland that neither of us could identify it and we left it after one bite. Between the food, drinks, service, and overall execution, the experience felt inconsistent and unpolished rather than celebratory or well-executed. The space is attractive and lively, but we left disappointed and ended up going elsewhere to salvage the evening.

    Best Italian spot in the Lakeview area! Service is attentive and ambience is great for a special occasion. We tried a few different pizzas and pastas and they were all great - my favorite was the mafaldine with lemon/crab, which is fresh and light. Portions are pretty small but worth for the price.

    We came for an early dinner in Labor Day and had a great meal. There was no wait either, but it was busy. So make a reservation if you're a bigger party. We both got the lavender lemonade, and shared the arancini and rigatoni. Everything was awesome. The arancini comes in a creamy green sauce, and has corn in it which I've never seen before. Either way, it was divine. Then we shared the rigatoni, which was also great. We were told the portion is big, so they split it for us. Would love to try more when I'm in town again.

    I extensively researched where to eat near Lakeview East for a group of eight. Our daughter was coming to town from Denver to celebrate her 28th birthday with friends, whom all live in the area. We drove from Cincinnati to meet her. From the first time I called to make a reservation for a large party to the re-scheduling to the following weekend due to a death in the family, the girl(s) on the phone could not be more professional and accommodating. I was told they would make it work but we might have to sit outside as the 8-top already had a reservation for Oct. 17th. However, when we arrived, we were seated right away at an 8-top inside. Our server, Viridiana, was so great and took very good care of us. As the plethora of drink orders came at her, she was cool as a cucumber and delivered the drinks, and the continuation of drinks throughout the night, with accuracy. She chuckled when I handed her my phone with our entire party's order and said "This is awesome. Are you in the service industry?" No, we are just foodies with an understanding of how hard it is to take care of a large group, and any little bit helps. Our pizzas and apps came out quickly, followed by all the pastas. We took a vote and here were the favorites dishes of the night: The Corn and Truffle Arancini, Fagioli Fritti, Sea Salt Focaccia, Spicy Mafaldine (!!!) Bucatini add meatballs, Rigatoni con Ragu, and all of the pizzas. The only dish we all didn't love was the Cacio e Pepe. They gave us a complimentary large Lemon Sundae for the birthday! That was a perfect bite for us all to share to end the evening. I will recommend Coda Di Volpe to everyone I know who is going to be in the area, and when we visit again, they will be the first reservation we make. Ciao!

    Coda di Volpe is a neighborhood gem in Lakeview that does Italian right. The highlight of my meal was the bucatini with meatballs -- perfectly al dente pasta with tender, flavorful meatballs that felt both hearty and comforting. The buffalo mozzarella was another standout, fresh and creamy with that rich tang you hope for. I also tried the prosciutto pizza -- the flavors were spot on, but the crust could use a little more structure. The undercarriage was soft, which made it a bit difficult to eat, and left the overall bite a touch soggy. Still tasty, just could be improved with a crisper base. Overall, a very good experience. Great atmosphere, solid service, and dishes that really showcase the kitchen's strengths. With just a little refinement on the pizza crust, this would easily be a five-star spot.

    Just as fantastic as the first time, great food and staff. We tried some new items: - Corn & Truffle Arancini - Sea Salt & Wild Oregano Focaccia - Varacalli's Spicy Panuzzo I would recommend each one.

    Varacalli's Spicy Panuzzo Sandwich
    Jae C.

    Sandwich Rating: 4.3/5. Coda Di Volpe's Spicy Panuzzo Sandwich is incredible. They use their delicious, widely loved pizza dough as the bread, and it elevates the whole sandwich to the next level. They only offer sandwiches on weekends during lunch. I would 100% recommend giving it a try it. Service & Ambiance (Lunchtime): 5/5. The space is bright and welcoming, with big windows that let in tons of natural light. Service was excellent as always - friendly, attentive, and on point.

    We had reservations for a Monday evening and were seated right away on the patio. Service was quick and attentive, which set the tone for a great night. For drinks, I ordered the Lady Lavender, light, floral, and the perfect refreshing summer cocktail, while my husband went with a beer. To start, we had the sea salt and wild oregano focaccia, which is an absolute must-try. The bread was warm and flavorful, and pairing it with the whipped ricotta was heavenly. For our main, we shared the Tartufo pizza. It had a nice balance of flavors with a subtle truffle note that wasn't overpowering. Overall, we really enjoyed our evening at Coda di Volpe. The food, drinks, and service were all great, and we'd definitely recommend it and look forward to going back!

    One of my favorite places in the Southport Corridor! The service is always quick, easy, and the servers are always so kind.  We opted into getting the cacio e pepe, focaccia, their summer salad, and tiramisu.  The starters of the focaccia and summer burrata salad were delicious! The bread was so soft and fluffy and perfectly salted. The Summer salad was so so fresh and hit the spot with all the flavors coming together.  The Cacio e pepe is one of my favorite cacio e pepe's I have ever tried in Chicago. The noodles soak up every bit of the sauce perfectly. We have gotten the pizza's in the past and I promise you can't go wrong with what you pick. The rigatoni ragu is also very good with season and the pork sausage is super flavorful.  The tiramisu was on the sweeter side for me which I don't love, but I can see why others would really like it! The wine list is fantastic. The cocktails and mocktails are also made well.  Fun Fact: they have a "to go " window called the foxhole where you can get foccacio + square cut pizzas to go! They have tons of space that's kid friendly and a fantastic patio.

    Fantastic Italian restaurant in the heart of Wrigleyville. They have stone oven pizzas that are fantastic and the homemade pastas are even better. They have a nice variety of drinks with a few local brews on tap. We went for a birthday celebration and the staff customized the menu to add a "happy birthday" top left. They even brought out a dessert with a sparkler so we could all sing happy birthday. Highly recommended!

    Taylor B.

    This is such a great spot to go with friends and share dishes! All of the food we had was great and came out quick. If you can grab a table outside when the weather is nice, that's definitely the move!

It was mid-afternoon when we visited and I'd gone online to make a reservation prior to our visit, but that wasn't really necessary. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and shown to a booth in the back room...far away from the cold draft of the front door. Our server came over to take our drink orders right away and we ordered a Caesar salad to share. I found it odd that their Caesar comes with tomatoes, but it must be a Chicago thing because I saw that on the menu of another pizzeria that we visited while in town. The salad was delicious and we enjoyed every bite of it. We also ordered a small pepperoni pie (deep dish) and were surprised at just how small it was. It was almost like a personal size...but let me tell you, the personal size is tiny! One slice of the small pie nearly took up the space of the entire personal sized pie that we took home with us. While in-store, I signed up for their rewards program and got a coupon for a free personal sized pie, with some stipulations. It was to-go only and you had to spend at least $10, but our dine-in order could not count towards that total. It had to be processed as a separate transaction. That was no problem for us since we were headed back to our hotel and had a full kitchen there, we decided to order wings along with our free baby-sized pie to-go. The wings were phenomenal. Top tier. A+. Highly recommend! I actually preferred the sausage pie that we took home over the pepperoni pie, and that's not usually my vibe. I think something about the grease in the sausage lends itself to the moisture of the pie. The pepperoni pie was a little dry. Overall, we loved the atmosphere and the service, so we would definitely come back again in the future.
