The risotto is to die for. I always get the veal meatballs, and eggplant parm! Anthony the adorable red-head is a phenomenal server. I come far too often but LOVE it!
So many favorites: Lambrusco, pancetta wrapped dates, orecchiette, tortellini, braised pork shank, sea scallops, Tuscan sausage risotto, linguini with clams, roasted baby octopus
Awesome risotto and Great Drinks.
The dirty martinis are delicious with authentic Mediterranean olives. Don't pass up the truffle risotto or the chocolate soufflé - both are to die for!
Absolutely spectacular. Full of beautiful people and has stellar ambiance. Cocktails are great, as are crostini, risotto, cheese plate and mushroom truffle bites. Can't go wrong with anything here.
Truffle mushroom croquets, octopus, hamachi crudo, shrimp and prosciutto crostinis - all appetizers were great. Seafood paella was disappointing. Truffle risotto and sea bass were great.
The Risotto Volare is a seafood feast!
The seafood risotto is huge and amazing!
The best Italian food I have had since I was in Italy! The risotto was unbelievable! And try the triamisu martini! Wow!
Lobster risotto is excellent, as is the beef carpaccio appetizer.
Check out the Italian black truffles — served up on the risotto with porcini broth. Indulgence!
Risotto woooow!
Both the handmade pastas and luscious risottos are highlights, while the wines are moderately priced. Though always crowded, it never feels too cramped. Read more.
The Polipo e gamberi was delicious. So was the carne cruda and the cauliflower flan. Amazing!! The Risotto is a must and if you still can, try their ravioli. 🤍
Castello di Santa Vittoria Rosa Vittoria ($13). "Intense bouquet of violets, roses, and jasmine supported by a great depth and structure on the palate," says owner and wine director Aldo Zaninotto. Read more.
Medi small plates where the smaller plates do steal the show. Recommend loading up on the more "app" type plates. Spicy hummus is a staple and a must. Sweet 🌽 risotto is unexpectedly light/bright
Really fantastic. All the spreads are delicious and the bread is so so so good. Absolutely loved the baked hallumi and the risotto. Was a great dinner!
Wow... Place to go! Hummus and falafel are excellent... With white greek wine from Santorini. Grilled chicken is light and super tasty. But then - frozen greek yogurt for dessert. It is really smth!
The masterpiece is a lamb shank with farro risotto, peperonata, and mint gremolata: dramatic, tender, and unforgettable.
Risotto with pork belly and an egg!
Lamb shank and pork belly risotto both delicious. Risotto was lighter than expected but extra yummy.
Risotto, pizza y tartuffo deli
Simply shared, tasty food offerings at a value price and served via a friendly staff. You must try the Risotto; the flavor cooked perfectly. Applause-Applause for this restaurant.
You can enjoy budget-friendly pizzas here, as well as some house made pastas. Try the toothsome duck egg spaghetti with creamy pork sugo and grated caciocavallo cheese, a sinfully rich indulgence. Read more.
The best dinner and wine I've had in my entire life. The risotto is to die for. Such a beautiful setting also.
The lack of windows, huge curved wooden bar, slick tufted booths and symbols emblazoned on everything feel like Don Draper’s supper club meets illuminati secret society. Read more.
Pork chop was out of this world, risotto was amazing and you have to get 2 orders of the Cauli Mac, or whatever it's called. Extremely good!
Mushroom and ramp risotto... split it as an appetizer. You're welcome.
Best dining experience in Chicago. Classic cocktails, Jazz music, grasshoppers, just perfect ambiance. We had New York strip and surf & turf (lobster ravioli and short rib). It was too die for.
The chicken and risotto soup isn't that great. :(
Risotto shrimp rice and salmon ! The best in town ! Great service! Ask for Edy that girl knows how to make drinks!
That saffron risotto 😍
Riccardo is an amazing chef. The veal osso buco with saffron risotto is amazing.
Excellent food. Excellent service. Recognized by the Italian government as authentic! Rigatoni with sausage, the pesto, the specials all top notch.
This neighborhood trattoria is known for its charming Italian staff and authentic Italian food. Be sure to try one of the nightly specials; they are always delicious. - Inspector
Sit at the bar chat, with Robert and order the lobster risotto.
I had the most delicious risotto I’ve ever had!! Make a reservation!
The best pasta & lasagna we've ever had! Beautiful scenery ♥
The crostini, gnocchi, risotto, and ravioli--delicious and melt in your mouth. The meat and cheese plate is also divine. Tony (waiter) and Massimo (owner) ensured that we had a fabulous experience.
The best white fish I've had in the city. Massimo - the owner - is amazing and so charming.
Seriously save room for dessert.
Try the truffle risotto with the truffle foam- absolutely delicious
Definitely the place to be at sunset. American/French cuisine and impeccable service, right on the lake. Has a small lounge area for those that want to sip a beverage while drinking in the view
Come on Wednesday or Saturday nights to watch the fireworks literally come at you from Navy Pier
