My wife and I have been patrons of Pizza Art for years and have really enjoyed it. Everything we…read morehave ordered has been tasty, although we most frequently order pizza. At some point, the pizza guy became the manager (or maybe he's now the owner). Unfortunately, his touch is missing. We were disappointed with our latest pie. It's simply nothing like it used to be. The crust is different. Too bad. The ambiance remains the same, and service is usually good, but dependent on how busy they are, like at any restaurant.

I don't really see us going back when there are so many great pizza places that we prefer but I'm glad we checked this place out.

This place has a comforting, cozy interior that's perfect for a date or family dinner out. The…read moreportions are pretty big so you could do family style if you ordered a few dishes. From the dishes I've tried, I recommend the Italian beef. (I wouldn't family style this though). The bread on the italian beef was so soft, tasty and perfect for dipping. Soaked the juice right up. You also get to choose a side with it as well! The pizza is good too! The pizza sauce is more tomatoey and gives it a fresh taste. We asked for sausage and artichoke, and they did not skimp on the ingredients. The pasta and meat lasagna were also good, but not as memorable as the other items. The menu items aren't anything fancy, but they are classic. I'd recommend this place if you're looking for some good ole, comfort Italian.

Terrible Service -- Don't Waste Your Time Ordering Here…read more I ordered a pizza from Ranalli's in Andersonville and was quoted a delivery time of 1 hour and 15 minutes. When that time passed and my pizza still hadn't arrived, I called the restaurant. They admitted they had completely forgotten to make my order. The manager assured me they were putting it in immediately and would rush it out to me. An entire hour later, I called again, only to be told that they STILL hadn't made my pizza. After more than two hours of waiting, two phone calls, and a promise from management to fix their mistake, they hadn't even started preparing my food. Absolutely unacceptable service and a complete disregard for their customers' time. Do not order from this place unless you don't care whether you actually receive your food.

We were seated right when we finished our drinks and started with the calamari which was perfectly seasoned and crispy. Then for our entrees we got pappardelle, spaghetti bolognese, and the flattened chicken. All were buttery and delicious. We ended the evening with a tiramisu on the house for our birthday. We will definitely be back when we come back to Chicago next time and thank you to the Il Milanese staff for an amazing evening.

I had the bacon and egg sandwich. The bread was nicely toasted and the potatoes were good. I though the wait staff was very friendly and attentive.

I would recommend for brunch for small to medium sized groups.

I run into neighbors here, that I didn't know before, which is always enjoyable. The interior is great - it's like an old school club, lots of wood, but with a modern design.

It's a bit of a "special occasion" type of place - but the special occasion could also be Tuesday. Just another neighborhood gem in beautiful Edgewater, the best nabe in Chicago.

We had such a wonderful dinner at Tutto Fresco in Lakeview this past Wednesday! Everything was…read moreabsolutely delicious, and the staff could not have been more friendly and welcoming. We started with the bruschetta and calamari, and I have to say, the bruschetta was probably the best I've ever had. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you could really taste the quality of the ingredients. We also tried the shrimp appetizer, which was amazing--the sauce was so unique and flavorful. I've honestly never had anything quite like it! Their wine selection is extensive, and I went with a Pinot Noir that was delicious and paired perfectly with dinner. For my entrée, I had the shrimp linguine, and it definitely did not disappoint. The pasta, shrimp, and sauce were all so flavorful and perfectly prepared. We brought the kids as well, and they happily enjoyed their buttered pasta--which was a big hit! And did I forget to mention the desserts?! Absolutely divine! Definitely save room because they are worth it. They also had a special homemade limoncello that was incredible. I can't promise it will still be there when you visit, but if it is, you HAVE to try it! Between the fresh, delicious food, wonderful wine selection, amazing desserts, and genuinely friendly service, we had such an enjoyable evening. Tutto Fresco is a gem in Lakeview, and we will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!

I live in Buena Park, and I have driven down Irving Park Road, passing this restaurant one hundred times, but never gave it much thought. The space was originally a pizza restaurant called Hearth & Crust and owned by the same people. From what I understand, they closed their original Bueno Terra restaurant in Logan Square and reopened it in this Hearth & Crust space. In fact, the Hearth & Crust logo is still etched into the glass at the inner front of the restaurant. The restaurant was packed, especially with families, but they sat us in a semi-private, glass-enclosed room at the front of the restaurant. The sliding windows were open to the sidewalk and Irving Park Road. That kept the room pleasantly cool, but it was noisy. I could not hear anyone talk except the people sitting right next to me. We had one waiter assigned to our table--someone who knew the people in our group who frequent Bueno Terra--and he was personable and attentive. For the table, we ordered the arancini and fried calamari. Both were excellent. For my entrée, I ordered the Melanzana alla Emilia Romagna--eggplant medallions with a crunchy almond crust served with tomato basil sauce and topped with caramelized onions and goat cheese. Kind of a play on eggplant parmesan, but richer and better. My friends said that they often order it as an appetizer. It was unusual and delicious--I loved it. I do not drink alcohol, but I ordered a Berry Lemonade--strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry muddled with lemon soda. It was tart but refreshing. Platters were served with mixed of desserts--tiramisu, cheesecake and profiteroles. All excellent. The service and food were both great and we all had a wonderful time. Although it doesn't look like much driving past Irving Park Road, Bueno Terra is a gem that I highly recommend.
