Best Fun Restaurants in Near North

I can’t say enough for the ambience and the setting. It brought me back to my early days of growing up as an Italian American and the food we ate. Everything was delicious, especially the homemade ravioli’s. The background music, (Martin and Sinatra) was over the top. The bolognese was to die for. This is a must stop to have dinner. Top Italian restaurant in Chicago!

Booked here at the last minute dinner was amazing. The pizza was very, very good. The short rib was Devine. We also had the charcuterie board and the apricot sauce should be jarred and sold in stores. It was amazing.

First off, I would like to say that our server Fran was not only very attentive, but she was very thorough describing the food. She was also very patient with us individually to help us make our selections. We started with the Empanada De Tamalito which were outstanding. The entrée choices were Churrasco Escabechado, the steak was very tender much to my liking and the plantains really outstanding. We ordered four servings of Lomo Saltado and boy am I telling you my friends swore this was the best meal they have ever had. I can’t wait to eat my leftovers, I wanted so bad to eat the rest when I returned home but I was stuffed. Last but not least the dessert was chart topping, I don’t remember the name but ice cream was served with it. It is a must have. Overall for my friends it was their first experience at a Peruvian restaurant and they scored it a 10.

The cocktails here are some of the best in Chicago. They are made with attention and detail, and are beautifully balanced and delicious. The Mahi tacos were delicious, and the sweet potato fries were better than I’ve ever had. My partner and I were wonderfully taken care of by our server and the hosts up front. We love it here, and return whenever we can!

Checked this place out while in town after seeing table available for Christmas on OpenTable. Outstanding service, unique milkshakes, solid burgers and soups (to combat the cold). Top marks!
