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.

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!

I went here for the first time right after they opened and I am HAPPY to report it still holds up…read more I genuinely love their tavern style crust. It's not as thick as other places, but it's perfectly cracker crust. They also have one of my new favorite salads in the city, which is the Sunday salad. My mom and I both agree that we hate when a restaurant is lazy with their salad and this one has so many toppings and good stuff. The ricotta gnocchi was decent but I'd skip next time. Service was fine, but the vibes are just really solid here and I think it's such a good spot in the area. It is a bit loud upstairs in the bar area and I do prefer the speakeasy but both serve different purposes.

A solid 4.5 stars!…read more I was finally lucky enough to snag a reservation, and we were seated in the downstairs "speakeasy" type room. The room had great vibes and was well decorated. We had a mozzarella sticks, pepperoni tavern style pizza, and the vodka sauce pasta. I really enjoyed everything. I'm typically not a huge mozzarella stick fan but these were delicious and I'd definitely order them again. The pizza and pasta were also both very good!

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.

I checked out this new spot in River Noeth about a week and a half ago to watch some football on a…read moreSunday. There are a lot of bars and places to watch football in this area, but this spot seems like it's a great one. First, the food was very good. I ordered the smashburger with tots, buffalo chicken wings, an espresso martini and a cookie skillet for dessert. I've had a lot of smashburgers and this is a very good one. The espresso martini measures up to anyone that I've had in any Chicago bar. The tots were hot and crispy and the chicken wings very good. The cookie skillet is a a must order for dessert. I loved the ambiance. It's a pretty classic bar and grill with a lot of TVs, but their patio sets the place apart. It gets tons of sun and still has plate of TVs to watch the game. The service as excellent. My waitress was nice, attentive and had good suggestions. This is a must visit apart for a drink, food or to juts watch the game.

The interior of the restaurant was fun and lots of memoribilia around.

Even though there was a bit of a wait to get our shake, it was absolutely worth it. Rich, creamy, and loaded with the flavor of Portillo's iconic chocolate cake, it's every bit as indulgent as people say. It's definitely not an everyday dessert, but if you're visiting Chicago, it's one of those classic treats you should experience at least once. Do yourself a favor and order one--you won't regret it!
