Terrific Italian food with an Old World Flair! Love the dinner for two. Starter to or two dinner salads, two entrees and a dessert to share! PLUS you each get a entree to take home for tomorrow! Classic Italian and specialty items, too. Great drinks menu and wines.

Even if you don't like many of the other choices on Olive Garden's menu, the all-you-can-eat soup, salad & breadstick combination should work for you. There is a choice of soups, i.e. pasta e fagioli, minestrone, chicken & gnocchi and zuppa tuscana. The nice thing about the soups is that if you want to try a refill with a different type of soup, you can. The salad is a perfect salad in my estimation and I love the pepperoncini in the salad, as well as the grated cheese that you can put on it. Oh, you can add the grated cheese to each of the soups, too. Then there are the breadsticks - delicious! The one other nice thing about doing the combination is that if there is any leftover because you have really stuffed yourself, you are able to take the leftovers home. The staff was friendly, efficient and worked as a team. A nice spot with some wonderful selections.

Celebrated a family birthday at Pasta D'Arte recently. It was my first visit to this hidden gem. There was nothing on the menu that didn't sound delicious. I had the Rigatoni Alla Vodka which was very tasty. Everyone in our party had nothing but good things to say about their meal. There are plenty of pasta dishes to choose from and assorted chicken and beef dishes. I will definitely visit again.
6. Spacca Napoli

This restaurant is a hidden gem in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago. Reservations are recommended, and we were seated promptly upon our arrival. This is a busy place on a Friday night, energetic atmosphere, with families and couples of all ages. We had the Burrata special and grilled vegetables, and the pulpo as our appetizers. All delicious, but the Burrata was amazing, soft and creamy and a nice sized portion. Seemed most people ordered one pizza per person but since we had 3 apps, we ordered 3 pizzas for the 4 of us which was plenty. We had the Funghi, the Diavola, Prosciutto e Rucola. All delicious and cooked perfectly. Our service wa very good as well. When we were leaving they offered us mini homemade cannoli on the way out! YUMMY!! Highly recommend you give Spacca a try.

Had a wonderful meal here - don't hesitate to order unique dishes such as the Ravioli Di Zucca (stuffed with pumpkin in a tomato and goat cheese sauce) or the Pistachio Ravioli (handmade ravioli filled with ricotta cheese and pistachio in a creamy amaretto sauce) - both are absolutely wonderful as a lighter dish. The Chicken Vesuvio and the Pork Marsala were also very good. Finished the meal with the tiramisu and the flourless chocolate cake, which was the densest, richest cake ever!
4. Monastero's Ristorante

This neighborhood favorite is celebrating its 55th Anniversary this year. Sadly, though, the Monastero family recently announced their decision to sell their restaurant and banquet hall property for redevelopment. It is set to close on November 18, 2017.If you're partial to retro or 'old school' Italian cuisine, please visit Monastero's before it's too late. This 'red sauce' kind of place is a nostalgic trip to the 1960s. The ambience, refreshed over the years, remains warm and romantic. Not much on the menu is innovative or trendy, but the kitchen turns out topnotch renditions of classic pasta, veal, and chicken dishes in generous portions and at reasonable prices. Among local Italian restaurants, I've always considered Monastero's time-tested and fine-tuned recipes to be the 'gold standard.' The Missus and I have enjoyed dining here and also attending various events in their banquet halls through the decades. On our most recent visit, we indulged in two of our longtime faves, Chicken Breast alla Parmigiana and Veal Scaloppine alla Marsala. For dessert, we enjoyed Sea Salt Caramel Fudge Gelato (mmmm, very rich). The food and service were impeccable. A pianist played light classical music and show tunes; on other occasions, restaurant staff sings operatic arias. The live music plus the friendliness of the staff have always made this place very special for us. We truly hope that the Monastero family tradition will continue at a new location.

Four of us decided upon Graziano's Brick Oven Pizza for lunch. There was more than adequate parking. We were seated immediately and were brought menus and our server took our drink order. Two of the items that we ordered were chicken marsala and the other was an Italian salad. The service was very efficient and attentive and our server was very personable. The prices were reasonable and the portions were ample. We found everything to be delicious.

We've eaten at a number of Stefani restaurants around town to look forward to this one. And the location certainly helps. Some of our experience turned out to be outstanding, but some was decidedly not.We were a couple of minutes early for our reservation. The folks at the host stand couldn't have been more gracious. During the time we were waiting for out table to be ready, a number of folks checked with us to make sure we were okay. We felt very welcomed.Our initial service was prompt. The server clearly knew the menu, although he wasn't as definitive as he might have been about recommending choices. My wife had a special lobster bisque that wasn't very special. I had a beet and burrata salad that was outstanding. We then had complementary salads that were drowning in dressing.Our main courses were a mixed bag. My wife had ordered a Kansas City strip and they brought a New York strip. She didn't want to wait for a redo, and the steak was good, if a tiny bit overdone. I had veal piccatta, which was well made, but drowning in sauce (seems to be a theme). It was accompanied by some perfectly prepared fettucine that would entice me to return for pasta.Overall, I'm glad we tried the place. But it's definitely going to be a once in a while place rather than a regular stop for us. Too bad, because the potential is there.
