Pasta Restaurants in Chicago, IL

“Great variety and unique flavors. Great vibe.“

“We went last night for the first time… Great menu options, food was delicious, portions were perfect, staff was really nice. I had the Grilled Salmon, he had the Braised Pork Shoulder…definitely recommend both.“

“Pasta Veneta offers a good range of Italian classics, and we definitely had a nice meal. The burrata was a highlight — fresh and flavorful — and the pasta dishes were enjoyable, especially the truffle gnocchi, which had great depth of flavor. We also really liked the red wine blend. Worth a visit if you're looking for a dependable Italian option in the area.“

“We drove down from Milwaukee. I’ve been wanting to try Tortello since they’ve opened and I found out that they source their eggs from where I get mine (they are the best). Dario was kind, friendly, and extremely engaging. The food was fantastic. We started with Focaccia Ricotta & Honey which was ridiculously good. I had the spaghetti pomodoro which was perfectly balanced sauce to pasta to cheese. My husband had the Cacio e Pepe and devoured it. Our son had the Kids Lumache and ate half (he’s only two) and inhaled the rest tonight. It smelled even better the second time around if that’s possible. Best authentic Italian I’ve had in the States. Felt great after too, not like I’d eaten a pound of pasta. If you aren’t making plans to go sometime soon…you’re missing out!“

“Nice little local Italian eatery on the north side.
Great service and good food. You can taste the difference by the fresh ingredients they use. Although the coffee was disappointing, they use lavazza pods, but the service to make it the way you like fills the gap…“

“**Long Review – Worth the Read!** I first noticed this charming restaurant while driving by a month ago. Intrigued, I did some research and couldn’t wait to visit. Unfortunately, each time I attempted to dine there, they were closed. Lesson learned: always check the hours! Finally, eight days ago, I arrived on a busy Saturday evening. With no seats available inside, we opted for the patio near a heater despite the chilly weather. **What I Loved**: I was impressed as the staff graciously apologized to walk-in guests without reservations, offering them the option to wait or take food to go. Once seated, we were informed about the busy night ahead and things may take a little longer. They made sure to take care of us, even inviting us inside when seats became available. Walking into the restaurant felt like stepping into a trattoria in Italy, the kind only locals know about. The pizza was divine—and reminded me of Naples. The homemade pasta was perfection, and the mussels were absolutely to die for! This meal transported me back to my days living in Italy, away from the tourist trap restaurants. **A Second Visit**: I returned today, craving pizza and pasta, but they were out of pizza. While disappointing, it’s a sign of their growing popularity. Pamela, my server, delivered the news with grace and empathy, which made the experience enjoyable despite the setback. We quickly and playfully switched gears, and she suggested some fantastic alternatives that I loved! I truly appreciate good communication and understand the importance of patience in the dining experience. To those leaving negative reviews: It’s easy to critique from the sidelines. I challenge anyone who thinks they could do better to step into a server's shoes. Patience and kindness are free and go a long way.“

“I ordered the mid-week take home special last week and we loved the selections. The soup was gnocchi with a short rib meat filling and a short rib broth. The dinner was boar's meat and sauce with kale. The dessert was fill your own cannoli. Everything was delicious and the instructions for reheating were easy. It's my third time getting it. So fun!“

“We chose the restaurant for it's convenient location, and are so glad we did! Our server Danielle made us feel like welcomed family, the open kitchen gave us dinner and a show, and the food was delicious - with portions big enough to allow us to take home for another meal later! Don't skip the garlic butter, and try their signature Farfalle Pollo - oh, and check out their signature cocktails, the Spritzes transport you to Italy!“

“The service the food are good“

“My husband and I ordered takeout, wanting some comfort food on what was a very hard weekend. The portion sizes were very generous, the food was well seasoned and delicious. My husband said he felt like an Italian grandmother was cooking for him. We are new to the area and will be ordering from the pasta bowl again.“

“Pretty great restaurant, with good food, in a casual welcoming environment with Nancy Silverstone sitting in the counter.As an appetizer we ordered a roasted cauliflower with spicy mint ali oli. Great.Then, a meatballs, mozzarella di bufala tomato, & fresh oregano pizza and a mozzarella di bufala, tomato, basil & extra virgin olive oil pizza.Meatballs pizza was delicious!!.We didn’t like the dessert“

“Found Ellengee's by accident. Worked on the apartment complex next door some years ago. Any time I'm in the area, I stop by and stock up on the ribeyes! Awesome cut, and the price is you can't beat. So much more to choose from, check them out.“

“Today was my first time here, and I had the best pasta I have ever had in Chicago! The pasta tastes authentic with fresh ingredients. I had the Portabello Ravioli and Cesar Salad. The place receives to go and delivery orders, no problem for a local or for someone wanting to pick up fantastic food.“
