    The more I think about it, the more I realize I didn't really like it that much - mainly because there's no urgency or part of me that genuinely wants to return. Maybe going shortly after a trip to Italy ruined me a little lol, but I didn't fully understand the hype. The pasta was good, just not life-changing. I've honestly had better pasta elsewhere in Chicago. The agnolotti was my favorite. I liked the balance of flavors with the ricotta filling, although I thought the roe was a little unnecessary. It could've used a different topping or supplement that complemented the dish better. The pierogies were also pretty good. They had decent flavor and were cooked well (actually al dente, which I appreciated). The sauce itself was good, but it wasn't distributed evenly, so some bites had much more flavor than others. The carbonara was just okay to me. It lacked flavor, and I wish the sauce had been thicker and more cohesive. It broke. I did appreciate that the pasta was properly cooked, but overall, I thought all of the sauces could've been seasoned better. I might come back to try some of the other dishes, but I'm not exactly rushing to make another reservation.

    Yes yes and yes, a million times yes! I think this is up there with my favorite Chicago restaurants. The food was AMAZING, the service was excellent (they were very sweet in helping my party understand what dish would be best for us) and the overall ambiance of the place is so chic! Will definitely be bringing guests here in the future. Also is a very cute date spot

    Potted carrots

    Let me just say, I was blown away. My co-workers raved about this place and I was shocked I never heard of it. I mean, I really do try to stay up on the best restaurants in Chicago but I NEVER heard of it. When I reached out to a friend who is a popular food influencer , he never heard of it either, so we immediately made a date. My friend dropped me off at Daisies on a Tuesday evening, while he looked for a park. When I walked in, the ambience was so electric and enticing I just knew we were in for a treat. I couldn't believe how packed it was for a Tuesday, and when I was shown right to my table by the friendly hostess, I was even more impressed. When my date came in, our waitress appeared. She was beautiful, friendly and ready to show us a great time. She gave us the menu run-down, readily answered our questions and got the show on the road. For a cocktail, I ordered the Sour, in the Green, a delightful and refreshing blend of mezcal, soka, green strawberries and tarragon. My date, a beer lover, ordered the Moody Tongue pilsner and Spiteful IPA, which he loved. For apps, I was told the house-made ruffles with onion dip were a must-have but she said, unfortunately, they were out. Awww, bummer! However, she appeared moments later and said she was able to secure the VERY LAST ORDER just for us. Game? Who knows, but when that order was placed in front of us and we dove in, and were more than satisfied. Our other app were the delicious potted carrots...a puréed delight containing pickled carrots, duck fat, and gnoccho fritto. Yum! As for entrees, I ALMOST went with the duck bolognese but when she described it as an elevated Hamburger Helper, I quickly declined. I haven't made HH since...EVER, so I wasn't about to order it on a rare night out with an amazingly handsome man, so I went with the lamb sugo. And it was all that. He ordered rigatoni and let's just say it was out of this world. Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly and seasoned to perfection. Service was on-point and everything one could want in a date night. I pride myself on choosing great restaurants and that's why I rarely leave bad reviews. Daisies lived up to its hype and I can't wait to go back!

    Pappardelle (mushroom and carrot ragu)
    Gina L.

    Had a reservation 6pm on a Saturday. Such a cozy space with very friendly and attentive staff. Apps: Started with the French onion dip + smoked trout roe, and cabbage w beef tongue. The potato chips the dip came with were massive, fantastic, ruffle cut slices. Dip was good, trout roe ($18) gave it that extra pop of flavor. Our favorite dish of the night was definitely the beef tongue, so tender and balanced with textures and acidity. Mains were: Pappardelle (mushroom and carrot ragu) - I liked this best out of the three pastas, pasta was very tender. Cappelletti (beef, celery root fonduta) - felt a little under al dente in the sections where it was pasta pressed against pasta. The beef filling was on the average side, a simple, braised beef. Strozzapreti (duck bolognese + parm reggiano) - pasta was cooked perfectly, but the sauce leaned salty. Our half chicken arrived once we were finishing the pastas. Juicy and tender, with the fat/skin rendered out nicely. The sauce was good, but felt the chicken itself was lacking seasoning/flavor. The remaining duck ragu came in handy for extra saltiness. Finished the meal with the terrazzo cheesecake, and gelato scoop trio (roasted vanilla, peanut butter cookie dough brownie, and frutti di bosco sorbet). Cheesecake was light and wiggly, definitely contained some gelatin and cubes of strawberry jello; not too sweet. I enjoyed the peanut butter gelato the most, was very tasty mixed with the sorbet to make a little pb and j concoction. They also gave a little slice of chocolate cake as we were there for a celebration. Overall, appetizers were a hit, with the dessert coming in second, and entrees following thereafter. Was ~$240 w the included 25% service fee between 3 people. The food feels like 3.5 stars as the food was inconsistently good across courses, but the service/ambiance pushes it to a 4. Worth a try if you can get a reservation.

    Onion Dip
    Sara G.

    Delicious spot when you're craving hand made pasta! We were able to snag a last minute reservation when we had friends in town and this was one of our favorite spots while they were here. The service was wonderful and everyone was so friendly! It's much bigger inside, but still cozy with the different rooms/areas! Highly recommend!

    We were super excited to try daisies and luckily got a reservation for Friday night. The ambience is simple yet elegant. The place was particularly loud that night. We quickly got seated and our server seemed pretty excited and helpful. We got some beer and decided to order the onion dip as our starter. It was soo tasty! Loved the ruffles chips with it. We then ordered the Pappardelle and the Rigatoni. The Pappardelle was out of this world and easily one of the tastiest pastas I have ever tried. The rigatoni was ok in my opinion, I was mainly excited to taste the lemon breadcrumbs but I couldn't taste the lemon at all. Overall a nice casual pasta place with great service. The prices were very reasonable too.

    Sunday Brunch is magnificent at Daisies. Our meal consisted of lots of shareables starting with their perfectly crisp breakfast potatoes. Full of flavor, soft in the middle and sprinkled with house cheese on top. For mains - we went all pasta - the parapadella was spot cooked and the mushroom Raghu was rich and delicious. We also tried the beet raviolis which had the perfect sweetness and well rounded with the ricotta. To wrap things up we got a selection of pastries and cookies for take away. We enjoyed them immensely when we got home. Service was top notch. It was Father's Day and super busy but we were well taken care of and enjoyed the friendly service.

    Rigatoni
    Nick N.

    Great food. Excellent service, pretty humid night 78%. Wish they would've closed in the window. Wife was uncomfortable the whole time Came for our anniversary. Nice place with unique pasta and cocktails. The beet agnolotti was my favorite. The onion dip was pretty good but not amazing. The ice cream sandwich was also good but not cold enough. Was more like a think whipped cream not an ice cream. Would skip that and try maybe the crunch cake for desert. Our waters were never less than 3/4 full Place was pretty lively but not too wild. Would come back

    Rigatoni

    Amazing pasta accompanied by even better service. The team helped us pair a bottle of wine with our family style meal which went above and beyond. Fresh, inviting, and intimate atmosphere that wasn't too loud compared to others. Very limited street parking, would recommend walking or ride share. Overall, the food was seasonally fresh and innovative! Loved the apps and variety of pastas and cheeses on the dessert menu!

    Karina H.

    I was extremely excited to try Daisies but it unfortunately felt a little short for me :( ! You can definitely tell the pasta is made fresh in house! I think the meal did lean a little salty though and some of the flavor combos when we went didn't work for me. The appetizer was great of course with the chips and dip! The service was good but not great and the ambiance was amazing. Maybe I went on an off day but would try again!

    First time coming for lunch and wasn't expecting to order at the counter, but it worked out well given how busy it was. Food was still very very tasty and portions good sized. We absolutely loved the cookie and liked the flavor of our sandwiches. Both were a tiny bit salty, but one of us likes it that way. No mandatory service charge at lunch and still great service so a good choice for a nicer meal. My only disappointment was no pasta available for the lunch menu. We will be back.

    Giardiniera bun
    Lauren F.

    I can only review the morning cafe part of this restaurant, but it's a fantastic spot to get a pastry and work or relax. Plenty of seating, not too busy on a weekday morning, friendly service, and really delicious pastries. I loved the giardiniera bun - so unique and delicious. I've only heard good things about their lunch/dinner, so I'll have to try them eventually, but I think their pastries deserve some hype too!

    This spot had reservations gone in minutes and I get why, but it didn't fully blow me away. Vibes were just alright. We sat in the back so it was quieter, but still kinda loud overall and felt more casual than expected. Better for groups than a romantic dinner. 6.5/10. Service was great though. Our server was funny, super attentive, and paced everything perfectly. Loved the little details like switching plates and checking in at the right times. 8/10. The sweet onion toast was sooo good. Reminded me of Au Cheval's bone marrow + jam combo. Crispy & flavorful. 9.5/10. All the pastas were cooked perfectly al dente and not oily at all which I LOVED. The strozzapreti was super comforting with great duck flavor. 8.5/10. The beet agnolotti was really unique, tasted like a cream cheese lox everything bagel. 8/10. The cappelletti was more mid for me, good filling and sauce but nothing crazy. 7/10. The pork collar had an interesting texture like medium rare steak, but I'm just not a big pork fan. 6/10. Now the desserts... BEST part of the meal. The chocolate pavlova was insane. First time trying it and the textures were crazy good with the sorbet, mousse, and crunch. 9.5/10. The cookie dough brownie ice cream was also one of the best flavors I've had. 9.5/10. They also gave us a free chocolate cake for our celebration which was a nice touch, but it tasted pretty basic. Overall, really solid pastas, amazing desserts, and a great app, but a litttttle overhyped for me.

    What is the price per person? I want to get a gift card but not sure for how much. Thank you?

    Does anyone know how to make reservation for their outdoor patio?

    Do they have gluten free options? I see a dessert item but didn't see any note for gf pasta, so just checking, thanks!

    Yes! There is a gluten-free pasta that they can sub in for most pasta dishes! Many apps are also gluten-free and they have an amazing gluten-free cookie!

    Can Daisies accommodate a vegan diet? If so, which dishes are suitable options?

    I am vegetarian and I noticed a lot of of vegetarian dishes but not so sure about vegan...- a lot of creamy sauces.

My son and his girlfriend have been there many times, and insisted we get the whipped ricotta appetizer and kale salad. Both of these items were top notch, as were the cocktails and we enjoyed. The pasta bolognese that the ladies ordered was delicious. My son had the burger and fries, and it was fine, just not very special. I ordered the "half" chicken, thinking as a bird themed restaurant, the only poultry entree would be a star, but that was not the case. A small thigh and half of a breast was their interpretation of a half chicken, and this was noted on the menu, but the portion was disappointing. The dish was supposed to to be accompanied by polenta with trumpet mushrooms, but two paltry slices of mushroom with a small smear of polenta completed the dish which "artfully" only occupied the left half of the plate, leaving the rest of the plate bare. Small portions aside, the dish was overly salty, to the point I had dry mouth the rest of the night, and the chicken was overcooked. The taste was fine, and the little bit of polenta added enough moisture to make the dish work. The worst thing was the incredibly dull dinner knife that couldn't cut through the mushroom, let alone the chicken, causing me to apply the stab and pull/tear method to get bite sized pieces. Everything thing else was superb. I would go back for the cocktails and appetizers, perhaps grazing the appetizers and a salad as a dinner. The pastas all looked terrific, but I will probably steer clear of the four mains on the menu, as they seem to be the least inspired items to order.

The pizza was so delicious that I couldn't give up on the pizza shop. During my recent order I tried the sweet chili wings and it was unbelievable.

I normally order the tavern style pizza and Tortorice's does not hold back on toppings. Each slice is jam packed with toppings. Everything tastes fresh and high quality.
