Delicious Italian Food - Edit
Great ambience. Cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Wait staff was great, who remained unobtrusive but attentive. We didn’t feel rushed even though they were really busy.
Read moreThe food was excellent. They have a vegan menu with 4 main courses. We had the Campanelle Pomodoro, Risotto and Campanelle Primavera. We also ordered the olives and classic bruschetta for appetizers, the bread selection(which is seeded crackers) and roasted broccolini for sides and the fruit bowel for dessert.
We all thought the primavera was the best dish. Usually pasta primavera is underwhelming but this dish had layers of flavors that are hard to explain, smoky and savory is probably the best way I can describe it. The bruschetta was also amazing. They marinate the tomatoes so they are busting with flavors.
I highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely be back. Reservation are highly recommended. We went for an early dinner on Thursday and they were very busy.

Simple, beautiful, delicious - Edit
I ate here for dinner a couple nights ago and was so pleased I came back again today. This is a gorgeous place, with excellent service. The bruschetta was the best I have ever tasted, and the pasta and veggies were perfectly cooked and so flavorful. The dishes are simple, it's pasta and veggies folks, but it's all perfectly cooked, fresh, and I don't know how they get that much flavor in a tomato. I haven't been this impressed with a meal in Chicago for a long time - I will definitely go back next time I visit.

Great compromise option - Edit
They have a dedicated vegan menu! It’s shorter than the regular menu, but it’s enough to make this a great upscale place to go with meat eating friends or family (and certainly a much much better option than most Italian places)

Amazing upscale Italian! - Edit
Confirmed there is a dedicated vegan menu!! Seems to change with the seasons, which I love. I had a fava bean tomato fennel pasta which was great, but the highlight was the cocktails. I asked the bartender if she could do an amaretto sour without the egg white, and she pulled out a vegan alternative! So I got a delicious foamy amaretto sour, no egg required. Overall great food, great vibe, great cocktails and wine list, would recommend
Read morePros: Dedicated vegan menu, Delicious
Cons: Some vegan menu items kinda boring (veggie pasta)

Vegan Menu! - Edit
I had a very lovely dinner here and can confirm the restaurant does have a dedicated vegan menu at this point in time (9/5/25). They also have some very nice options for NA cocktails. I have some food sensitivities, and they went above and beyond to accommodate. I had their risotto and lemon sorbet, as well as the NA amaretto sour, all of which were delicious.

I called and confirmed that they do not have a vegan menu - Edit
 they did say that they could accommodate vegan dishes, but there is nothing specifically Vegan. A couple of the dishes that they said they could do would be risotto, mushroom pasta, and pasta with vegetables.
Read moreThree stars because I had to give a star rating and I did not want to give it a negative rating.

I went two days ago and they actually do have a vegan menu (you have to ask). Maybe they’ve added since you visited!
