Probably the best restaurant experience I’ve had. From the moment we walked in the service was exceptional. The host was accommodating and proactive. Our server was incredibly friendly and informative. She helped us decide what dishes we should get and was spot on with everything. That brings me to the food. Every dish was executed perfectly and some had truly unique flavors. The classic dishes we got also tasted just like the classics but expertly finished. My only critique of the restaurant is that it’s very popular so it gets quite loud and is filled with a lot of people, so it’s not exactly an intimate dining experience. However everything else was so great that hardly matters. Thank you Monteverde for a truly amazing dining experience. I wish I took photos…

First visit here and highly recommend. If you get a bar area table you can see the mirror over the bar while they make the pasta fresh. Agnolotti filled with beef and veal, meatball was melt in your mouth, fresh salad and cacio e Pepe. Everything was great.

I originally really liked this place, but the service has gone down the hostess with the curly short hair Completely ruined my experience and was super rude not only to me but to other clients. imagine being horrible at just giving takeout service. will never come again or order from here. Also plan your order to be 20 minutes late because that’s how long mine was.
Might be the best Italian spot in Chicago. Sit at the bar and have Jordan take care of you. You'll have a blast and eat / drink like royalty. Do not skip the chocolate and strawberry sorbet. Get one scoop of each, mix 50/50 and thank me.

Amazing food in a beautiful space. The service was excellent, our server took the time to explain the dishes and recommend the best way to eat them to get the full flavor of the dish, also made excellent recommendations for drink pairings. They recommend you order dishes to share because everything comes out from the kitchen as it is ready, not all at one time like some are used to. Overall was exceptional and would highly recommend, our favorites were the burrata appetizer and the meatball side.

My wife and I loved our experience! We had been excited for a long time to go and we were finally in Chicago and was able to get a reservation. Completely met and exceeded our expectations and look forward in the future to come back. Food and service were excellent and it was a treat to get to watch the pasta making station!
It’s very rare that I give five stars in all categories, but truly Monteverde deserves five stars.
Every time we’ve been there, i’ve always been amazed by their change of menus & ultimately when the food arrives it tastes- it’s out of the world!!
Hoping next time they have more Zabiha halal meat options on the menu.
I highly recommend this restaurant .
Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options
Parking: Difficult to find street parking. Valet parking is the best option
