Their sandwiches and pasta (dessert too) blow me out of the water every time. You can tell they take pride in their craft, everything is super fresh. I recommend their Turkey Tom.

This is from their page : For only $35 a person, your table can choose a selection of five dishes from our regular dinner offering including one salad, any two appetizers, vegetable dishes or house made pastas and your favorite flatbread. Finish with any one of our decadent desserts - choose your favorite! It was incredible! The Tuscan kale salad had me skeptical but we all were blown away by it. We had the kalbi egg rolls, salami and fig flat bread amd the pesto pasta. They were very good. It was plenty of food for us. We will definitely be back.

I was in Chicago over the holidays and what a whirlwind - I'm STILL reviewing places I went…read more So, recall. I did a girls day with my mom and SIL. Afterwards we were hungo so SIL took us to a spot she and my brother love for dinner (and the ribs specifically). Turns out, it's one of those where the lunch menu is very different from dinner so it was like we all got to experience it for the first time. The lunch menu was small but mighty. Me and my Mom were trying to decide between the chicken salad sandwich and the burger and Lo! The table of 4 next to us ordered both and gave rave reviews. Can confirm - both were delicious. I also got a bevy because after a long day of manicures and window shopping (it was literally an hour lmao) I needed something to take the edge off. Deets: Service - fantastic Fat seating - affirming with plenty of options Food - tasty, sophisticated, yet accessible Ambience - a whole vibe I'm a NY girlie thru and thru but as Benedict said to Sophie in Episode 4: Chicago, be my mistress.

Tortorice's Pizza is one of the few places I'd travel to pick up…read more I came across Tortorice's when I used to live in the area and sadly I moved out of their delivery range. 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. The wings had a crisp to them but the sweet chili sauce had a nice kick to them. Like many places it's not a full wing but split in half so keep that in mind. It's still a good amount of food. 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. One thing to note is I ordered my food for a specific pick up time but ended up having to wait additional time for the rest of my order to be ready. I know the food is worth the wait so I don't mind but giving a heads up so you don't come starving and expect to get your food right away. It's happened the last few visits. The location is located conveniently on Irving Park so it's easy to find. Parking might be an issue if you drive.

I do suggest you get some starch with that. They serve you the meat as is. You get ribs, skirt steak, chorizo and chicken. You need to eat it while it's hot it's not as appetizing once it gets cold. Shirt steak was surprisingly soft. All were strongly seasoned- no complaints. The fries we had for starch were crispy freshly fried. The staff was super nice and patient with me and our large group of 10. The place is very local it's inside a residential area but parking this Saturday night was Not a problem. Best of all BYOB with no corking fees. I cannot say enough about our server - Thank You.

The meal started strong with crispy, golden flatbread paired with creamy ricotta. The ricotta was silky and lightly tangy, topped with olive oil, shaved cheese, herbs, and a sweet-savory jam that added depth. The bread had that perfect crunch on the outside with a slight chew inside -- simple but elevated. The pasta was the star. Wide ribbons cooked perfectly al dente, coated in a rich, slow-simmered ragu that tasted deeply savory and comforting. The sauce clung beautifully to the noodles, and the generous sprinkle of parmesan tied everything together. It felt rustic but refined -- the kind of dish you keep going back for.

This spot had reservations gone in minutes and I get why, but it didn't fully blow me away…read more 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.

We enjoyed the atmosphere from the moment we walked in as this is a more intimate spaces restaurant. We were quickly taken care of and able to enjoy our server helping us find things on the menu and even talk to us about specials that exist. Now the main event the food... is some of the best Italian I have had recently. I enjoyed there pasta seafood dish which btw they do not skimp on seafood (cause I know that's what your really wanted to know). Even the starters were a great way to enter the meal. I will certainly be back and have to try their entree as we were full off the pasta. I also enjoyed their cocktail menu with a few different options for everyone's drink of choice.
