Best outdoor seating in Chicago (my view)
by Chris I
Always a solid meal. Always. Even more so when you can enjoy the patio in the back.
by ben m.
Back patio is on point
by Erik S.
They put together great vegan options for us

Good quiet, intimate place to spend New Years! Amazing food and drinks
by Tara A
Beautiful patio and good food. It's a great place with an Italian atmosphere. Good for dates. I would dispute the statement that it is the best Italian food in the city.
by Elena E
The patio is a must in the Summer!

Stracci de farro--and if the pasta of the day is a moonshaped pasta truffle dish-- it is a must try!!

Food atmosphere wine
by Brian Z
Lovely outdoor seating. All the pastas are great, and you can get them in appetiser portion as well!
by Kevin D.
Peruse the thoughtful wine list, while settling on pizza topped with Mascarpone, sausage, mozzarella and herbs or string-cut black spaghetti with mussels, shrimp, calamari, clams and tomatoes.
by Chicagoist
Don't overlook the pizza options on the cena menu. We tried the pizza salciccia marscapone. Very authentic!
by Christopher Floss
Even if you can't sit on the city's best patio all year, chef Tony Priolo's pizzas, housemade pastas and grilled meats make a trip worth it even in the dead of winter.
by Eater
Excellent service. Great for large groups and business dinners.
by Ny Z
I'll make this simple: I love every single thing here except the very tight seating. But for food and drink, it's excellent.
by @scottkleinberg
Great food, atmosphere and service.
by Marlene J
Once they tried closing early for a Lyric Opera cast party, but no one would leave, because patrons heard "Oprah," not "opera."
by Philip C
Great food - a very special place.
by Jeff B.

by Esther K.
if you get an aged bottle like Barolo, have them filter and decant it.
by suneel t.
You have to sit outside
by Jack Scotty

The hazelnut chocolate molten cake.
by Nguyen D.
Delicious food. Can't go wrong with anything.
by Chloe R.
Known for their outdoor patio, killer wine list (super hidden bargins) and black truffles!
by RIA Social
Check out the Italian black truffles — served up on the risotto with porcini broth. Indulgence!
by RIA Social
You have to have the Brazino --incredible!
by Michael F.
Beet salad - so good, earthy
by Olivia L.
It sits on a corner of a very busy six-way intersection, but you'd never know it once you're ensconced in the backyard patio, shielded by tall fencing and surrounded by uplit landscaping.
by Chicago Tribune
Christian works at the bar. Came from Argentina, spent 10 yrs in Florida, recently moved to Chicago. He knows how to do an authentic Caipirinha.
by sidnei
Try the Burrata con culatello - Amazing. Hand stuffed mozzarella and prosciutto. (via @Foodspotting)
by Chad
Great atmosphere but we've been here for an hour with no one to take our order. So go with plenty on time to spare....
by Cari B.
Like a little Tuscan vacation - don't miss the olive oil and balsamic, buona!
by Cate L.
Neapolitan pizzas and classic pastas deliver on their promises. Meat and seafood entrées marry fresh local ingredients with solid Italian preparations. The ivied patio ranks among the city’s best.
by Chicago magazine
We'd love to go everywhere during Restaurant Week but can't. Show us what you think we should eat the next time we're here with a picture of your dish. Tweet it to us @motorola. Happy eating!
by Motorola M.
Order the pear and goat cheese salad! Best thing I've eaten this year
by Zoe T.
The wifi password is 'spaghetti'
by mark c.
Second best Italian in the city. Amazing patio. See Davanti for the best, but don't skip this spot.
by Brian H.
Best Amaro Selection in Chicago including rare boutique Italian Digestivo's and our own local hum Botanical Spirit, an American Amaro
by Adam S.
This Italian restaurant is legendary for its patio, a fenced-in oasis of leafy trees, yellow umbrellas and sunshine galore.
by Gilt City
Great food and one of the best outdoor areas in the city
by Matt G.
MUST HAVE: SPAGHETTI NERI CON GAMBERI
by Pascale W.
Great food but closes between lunch and dinner so a late lunch is a bad idea.
by Nicole R.
You just have to sit outside to get the full experience, it's beautiful! Spaghetti Neri is the must try here.
by Erin T.
Lobster risotto is excellent, as is the beef carpaccio appetizer.
by Kirstjen L.
Gorgeous patio. Outstanding homemade balsamic. Great food.
by Julie E.
Close your eyes and point to a pasta dish. You can't go wrong.
by Lee W.
One of Chicago's best outdoor dining patios
by kate F.
One of the best patios I've ever seen
by Nicholas F.
Our concierge Catherine at Sax Chicago says that when you're enjoying a long lunch in Piccolo Sogno's garden, it feels no different than relaxing in Tuscany.
by Thompson Hotels
You won't find lasagna or tiramisu on the menu. Restaurant is very L-O-U-D-not the place for a first date. Very extensive wine list. Try the chocolate hazelnut dish for dessert. Trust me.
by T H.
Even if you can't sit on the city's best patio all year, chef Tony Priolo's pizzas, housemade pastas and grilled meats make a trip worth it even in the dead of winter. [Eater 38 Member]
by Eater
My favorite place for Italian. Chef Tony Priolo cooks seasonal rustic Italian food. The boys and I love to go for their thin-crusted pizzas. The restaurant has an amazing outdoor deck that transforms
by Bravo
One of the best Italian joints in the city. Love the lasagna.
by Daniel H.
Best patio in Chicago. The pasta, which is all homemade, is wonderful.
by Daniel H.
The mozzarella and prosciutto appetizer is excellent here. Note that it can get pretty noisy as the tables are close together in the patio.
by Cristina M.
Have the blueberry gelato.... Homemade and delish!!!!!!!!
by Jen K.
The large plate of burrata (fresh mozzarella stuffed with cream) and culatello (a style of prosciutto) doused with olive oil is a treat worth returning for.
by Crain's Chicago Business
try the chickpea fries!
by Glenn B.

by Kristen M
