Best Date Night Restaurants in Irving Park

My cousins and I tried try Buona Terra for the first time. We came here for resturant week and i thoouvht it was a great deal. $45 for any appetizer,entree, and dessert. We each got a different plate and were able to try five different plates. The food m, desserts, and drinks were so good. The service was amazing since we walked in the door. Being that it was restaurant week on a friday night it was crowded but Eileen was very welcoming and made sure we got a good tabel. Our server was also very friendly and welcoming and he had a lot of good recommendations. Eileen made sure she asked us to stop by again. Since we did travel from the Midway area. We all agreed that the drive was worth it and we will be returning🙂

I’ve been wanting to go here for awhile. Even though jt was their restaurant week menu, it did not disappoint. It was one of the best meals I’ve had in awhile. The pappardelle, stracci, trout almondine, and the desserts are out of this world. Hands down best pastry chef… don’t skip the dessert. The service was great and the ambiance was on point. I would recommend Daisies for everyone.

Twas a slay. Every dish was fantastic. The Brussel sprout salad was my favorite it was so good. We also ordered the bacon wrapped dates, beef empanadas, shishito peppers, and calamari. Everything was SO good wow.

Akahoshi is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by the warmth of the staff, the ambience, and the smell of the most delicious ramen you will experience in Chicago - or maybe anywhere! I was seated at the counter facing the kitchen and it was a marvel to watch each bowl put together with such care and attention. The drinks are fantastic - from cocktails to smooth sake, and the food… I’ll be dreaming of it from now until the next time I’m able to come in. The flavors & textures present your mouth with a WORLD of excitement and comfort. Everything about Akahoshi feels intentional and carefully done. Not to mention, everyone who works here is kind, attentive, but not overbearing or pushy in the slightest, allowing you to savor every minute of your experience. I could go on and on forever, but you just have to come see for yourself!!

The holiday decor is amazing. Service was great. Service and someone else who checked in on us were friendly and attentive. We went after the holiday for brunch so it was a little quiet for the neighborhood. I;m sure it's more lively at other times. A few normal breakfast type items and a few kinda sweet breakfast items. I had a nice mocktail.
