Had a large event - 45 people. Service was excellent and the food was outstanding. It was a tricky party- had people coming in and out. Staff did not complain at all and worked the room flawlessly. We will definitely be back!!
Cannot say enough about this restaurant! Servers were wonderful, the wine was exceptional and the food was amazing! If the branzino is a special, I highly recommend ordering it, it was outstanding. Will definitely return!
Hidden neighborhood gem. We have been here a few times and it’s consistently amazing. Delicious food and attentive service. It’s quiet and romantic. It’s also family friendly, I have seen families here with kids and the staff has been so accommodating and kind to family dining. Just order anything from the menu and you will be pleased. We LOVED our dinner. We ordered dessert but ate it before I could take a picture. So grateful we have this amazing restaurant in our neighborhood!
This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. Cozy hole in the wall with mood lighting and beautiful art work. White table cloths so I personally suggest dressing nicely, but saw plenty of people in casual attire coming in for take-out. Food was incredible. Staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Seems like employees are really taken care of and happy which goes a long way. We had seared scallops which were delicious and I had the duck risotto. The panna cotta was to die for.
Husband and I know the Owner and decided to have a week night date this past summer. Although it doesn’t look very busy from the outside, let me tell you, it’s poppin’ in the back patio area. It’s a covered patio with fans and live plants growing throughout the space. Can’t even tell you’re wedged between two buildings in the neighborhood! Food was excellent and service was delightful. Love the Italian authenticity as well, reminded us of our honeymoon in Italy!
This is one of the best places to eat in Chicago! Everyone we've brought has loved it. The food is amazing, it's an undiscovered gem that I look forward to going every time. Get the 4 courses, we'll worth the money. The ribeye is huge and delicious, I take 2/3 home each time and have an excellent dinner the next night as well. I always get the scallops, they are cooked too perfection
A northern Italian tribute, this restaurant is unique in its specificity. While a little off the beaten path there’s a lot to offer. We sat on the back patio which is absolutely perfect for a cool summer day or even better as we head into fall with their little cast iron stove to provide a comforting heat blanket. The diver scallops absolutely blew our mind. To the point we were ordering extra bread just to sop up what leftover sauce we could salvage. Had it been acceptable I would have drank straight from the pate! From there we went with a delicious yet not overly rich risotto and a much room pasta which shouted of its freshness. Oh, and the donut zeppelin at the end was the best throwback combination of a state fair sugar waffle. 😳😳😳A quaint Italian eatery that will be a more unique date location than some of the oft talked about alternatives.
Great Italian restaurant! Loved the fig crostini with prosciutto and melon, caprese, and tagliatelle pasta. Very cute patio and great service. Would highly recommend!
Love this neighborhood gem! The food is absolutely delicious, the ambiance is lovely and the service is top notch! This is my go to when family or friends come into town.
Simply put, comfortable and amazing. The food was some of the best Italian food that I've had. I wiped my plate clean...literally. Cozy atmosphere that's perfect to bring a date, your friends, or your family and forget what time it is. Thank you for a wonderful night!
Cute and cozy Italian restaurant. It is great for special occasions. We went for our anniversary and sat in the back covered patio. It was cute and quiet and the food was great.
What a great restaurant.
The menu is focused on northern Italian dishes. Everything we had was excellent, particularly the sausage appetizer and the veal chop main course. Very attentive and friendly service, nice wine list.
I've been coming here since they opened. I consider it my favorite restaurant in all of Chicago.
amazing wine and food. you could tell everything from the bread to the pasta and bolognese was 100% homemade. Great service and cozy romantic ambiance. We will definitely be back!
My friends took me out to Antico recently and we had a wonderful meal. The highlights were the brown butter gnocchi and the short ribs. Service was attentive and friendly. I also ordered their dessert special which was a pistachio version of a tiramisu- divine!
If you are looking for a quiet, romantic restaurant in Bucktown, you've found the right place! I like to recommend Antico to clients and friends that are new to the neighborhood, or Chicago, as it is small and off the beaten path. Nora is always welcoming and has great recommendations for wine to accompany any dish. The back patio is cozy in the winter months. Menu highlights include; any of the handmade pastas, the polenta (not to be missed), short ribs, risotto of the day and daily fish are always enjoyable!
Amazing dinner.
Rarely available, the scallops are incredible.
Gnocchi is also really good.
Short rib is one of the best entrees.
Great service.
Always a great experience, one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The staff is very kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. The ambiance is cozy and relaxing, and the food is always consistent and well executed.
