After having the arancini several times at street festivals, I was so glad to finally stop in here and try more! The artichoke sandwich was delicious and perfect for the beach. I also had a lemon cannoli (which I didn’t know I needed in my life but was so tasty!!) and a very refreshing Arnold Palmer.

Wow! This place had been on my list for a while and I finally got to try it! The arancini and cannolis were amazing! The coffee with Sicilian syrup was also very good. Our server Lyla was very friendly and helpful and made excellent recommendations. The place was beautifully decorated. I already can’t wait to go back!

This has become one of my favorite places in this neighborhood. There are so many good restaurants nearby too, but I can't not choose Sfera!

Staff is super friendly. Food is so dang good and flavorful. Waited for my food with a fresh squeezed orange juice. It was great. My sandwich was next level. The arancini balls are huge and darn tooting good. Would love to come here every day.

This restaurant has the best roasted & chicken pepper sandwich!!! The almond relish and basil pesto give the sandwich great flavor! It's definitely enough for two! I initially opted out for a dessert treat, but quickly changed my mind after viewing the cupcakes. I bought the Pistachio-Cherry Cassata Cupcake. It was so delicious! To my surprise, the topping was not your average whip cream or frosting. This cupcake had ricotta cheese that was whipped with a sweet flavor! Very Good! This is definitely my new go to spot when I'm looking to have a quick lunch or early dinner meal and I will also try other entrees on the menu. Customer service was great and they're very knowledgeable of their menu. There is indoor & outdoor dining available. Sfera is located in Chicago's Edgewater neighborhood.

Delicious food. A small space inside. I hope to try sitting outside next time when it’s not raining.

The classic arancini were fantastic! Wish I could give them 10 stars!
I'm sorry but it was just not tasty to me, I got the arancini, the mushroom one was decent but the traditional one was very bland. I also got a pistaccio cannolo and it was not sweet at all, it felt like eating a block of cream cheese. They were both expensive so I had high hopes but apparently Sicilian food just does not match my palate. If you like more flavor you'll be disappointed.

Dear Sfera - Please come to Little Italy, Chicago - specifically Taylor Street between Racine and Ashland Ave. We currently have zero decent pizza places (I’m not kidding, Papa John’s on Racine owns the market right now) and there is a recently-vacated Starbucks location that is begging for a quick retrofit and a viable business to take over. There is also newly constructed retail opportunities up and down Taylor St, presumably with long-term leases still available. Seriously, we need you in the neighborhood Sfera - we have many “anchor” restaurants and businesses, but this is a critical one we are missing!
- Much love, Joel (former northsider)
