    the menu of the restaurant
    Amanda W.

    Very pleasantly surprised by the food here, tucked away in ORD airport next to gate B12, all the way down the hall. If I was not looking for this, I could've easily missed it! I was traveling solo, so I wanted to grab a seat at the bar however it was completely full! This was lunch hour at 12pm, I had about an hour layover. So I grabbed a table instead. There were many seats at the table and many of them were free. Of the joys of solo work travel. I immediately knew what I wanted, the eggplant parm. My food arrived in about 10 mins or so, not too long of a wait. My dish was served hot, and a delightful little side of homemade pasta! Yes you heard it, homemade pasta! I can tell the difference between box vs homemade. There is a consistency to homemade that I love and just brings me back to Italy. The eggplant was tender and I can still see huge slices, not really breaded at all, which I was glad to see. But I did have to scrap off the huge layer of cheese on top. I know many people would call me crazy for scraping off the cheese, but it was just too much! Also service was attentive. Overall pleasantly surprised and would certainly return.

    Minestrone

    Tuscany Cafe in Terminal 1 is excellent for an airport restaurant. I ordered the delicious, old-fashioned minestrone and the lovely, grilled pollo con zucchini with a balsamic glaze. Light and flavorful--perfect before a flight. Portion-wise, the chicken was a lot of food! I couldn't finish. And the service was quick and personal--we loved our waiter, Constantine, who had so much character and sense of fun yet was serious about describing the food.

    Great service, you get your food fast and it comes out nice and warm. The ambiance is nice along with cleanliness. I believe it was the owner/manager who came to talk to me he was very knowledgeable about the menu. He seems very passionate about his job which is really nice to see. He recommended the sea food bisc soup- it's yummy along with the salmon Caesar salad

    I sat at the bar. The wine was perfect. The bar tender was amazing. And the food was perfect too. This was a lovely stop at the airport between planes. I would absolutely stop here again, given a long enough stop. The restaurant was also packed with happy people - a good sign.

    Italian sausage entree. Very tasty. Would order again

    Food was ok. Service was great! Ambiance was nice. Had pasta, salad, and pizza. The best thing was the tiramisu! Overpriced

    Delicious pizza and pizza in Little Italy area of Chicago. It is a nice looking restaurant, too…read more We went for lunch on a Sunday (to avoid the crowd and for free street parking). The restaurant is not busy at all. We were seated right away. Our server was nice and attentive. We ordered pizza and pasta. Pepperoni and Whipped Ricotta Pizza - cooked perfectly, fresh ingredients and delicious! Served hot! Short Rib Pappardelle - to die for! This is very tasty, the pasta is cooked al dente. The short rib sauce is ssosooo delicious! We sat by the bar overlooking the open kitchen. It was nice to see the chef make the pizza and make the pasta. Further area is more fine dining with wall of wine. Very classy! Street parking only. So plan ahead.

    This is such a cool spot. I wouldn't have even known about it, if it weren't for a local friend…read more Where to start? We came in with a group of about 20! Normally I hate those kinds of large group dinners, but this was the perfect spot for it. The service was absolutely wonderful. I don't know how our server stayed so cool and calm with a group that size. We got a variety of things. EVERYTHING was amazing. If you have seen any of my other reviews, I always get a meatball when I'm at a place that has them. They almost never live up to my expectation. But this place has the new gold standard for a meatball. It was everything you want. It is fork tender, full of flavor, no chewy ground up bits. The pizzas were authentic and thin. With fabulous house made red sauce that wasn't too thick and overwhelming. The flavor was A+ The cocktails were so good! All made from scratch with love. The ambiance was cozy and comfortable. Perfect for a group or a date. They have a full bar, and also great seating with perfect lighting. This is a new favorite for me in the city.

The ambiance is nice with the restaurant not too dark but still has moody lighting. The entire time we sat down there was a huge group of people waiting for a table, so definitely make a reservation! For apps we got garlic bread and Caesar salad. The garlic bread was a rec from our server, which did not disappoint. They brought out melted butter to pour over the bread. Caesar salad was interesting, it has chopped celery inside which I didn't realize until I started eating. I don't like celery but my sis does and she liked it in the salad. Pappardelle alla porcellino and chicken vesuvio were AMAZING. Pasta was fresh and the chicken was so decadent. Both mocktails I were delish. The tiramisu was SO GOOD. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Chicago!

Every shared food item we purchased from the happy hour menu was savory and memorable. We had the mushroom arancini, rib sliders, prime beef meatballs and whipped ricotta. The happy hour pricing is attractive. Service was top-tier, and the inside is quite inviting. Everyone seemed happy to be there and took care with every step of the ordering and serving process. The bar was full when we arrived, but the host told us that spots at the bar open up rather quickly. This proved to be true, so I am so glad we waited for a few minutes. However, I wouldn't recommend this happy hour for a group of more than 2 because offerings are available at the bar only, and I suspect it would be hard to get four seats together.

The burrata is an absolute must order. It's flown in fresh from Italy a few times a week, and you can definitely taste the quality. The Rigatoni Vodka is another favorite of mine.

A ~very romantic~ touch is that they give you a red rose for your birthday. What we ordered: Bucatini Amatriciana: Guanciale, Calabrian chili, pecorino romano Burrata: Saved with fougasse bread, olive oil, and other accoutrements. Forget the lasagna rotolo, this is Ciccio Mio's pièce de résistance Truffle Mafaldine: truffle cream sauce, parmesan. I think mafaldine is my favorite pasta shape. It's just such a whimsical noodle to eat lol Fried Artichoke: Artichoke hearts, caesar aioli.
