Some of the best pasta I’ve ever had! The bread with olive oil and basil dip was also great.
The service and atmosphere was top notch. I would highly recommend this spot if you are in or around the Lincoln Park area.

Ordered a to go order and the hostess looked past me and talked to 3 other parties. Then when I went to the bar to get service the bar tender said I have to go talk to the hostess and I refused and was walking out but the owner stopped me to harass me and say I was the bad guy because I was being denied service because I am native American.

I saw someone brushing their hair in the restaurant. Food was mediocre. Their salads aren't impressive. And gnocchi was tossed in what tasted canned tomato sauce

Exquisite in every way. Our server, bartender and helper were so nice, helpful and quick to assist us. Food was awesome, everything.!!!!!!!!
I am so happy we stopped here for dinner. The staff were knowledgeable and so kind to me when I told them of my gluten and dairy allergies. Service was amazing and the food was sublime. I missed eating Italian for fear of cross contamination but they reassured me pasta were cooked separately. What a lovely place! I will be revisiting when I'm back in town.
Edit: Forgot to add, my husband got an Amaretto sour and he said it was the BEST one he's had.

Anytime I am in Chicago, I always find myself coming back to basil leas cafe . I love the atmosphere the restaurant offers; really delicious food , my all time favorite has to be the linguine carbonara and the NY strip steak . Not to mention the servers are very attentive and very friendly people . When it’s nice out they have the crystal doors open and one can admire the city life , and they also offer outdoor sitting . This place is truly one of my all time favorites . Highly recommended. 😋

Great option for the gluten free eaters. Good wine selection. Ordered the gluten free calamari which was the best calamari I have ever had. No joke! My picky gluten free eating son ate the calamari and loved it. He wanted more. The gluten free ravioli was also good. The next big winner was the chicken fettuccini alfredo, my daughter gave it high praise.
Parking: Pre-pay for parking at Lurie Children’s parking lot if available. It was the easiest because street parking is very limited.
