Monteverde

The real play here is to build a DIY tasting of strange and familiar shapes and strands, culminating in the ragu alla Napoletana, soppressata meatballs , sausage and pork shank over fusilli ! Read more

The stand out winners were the diver scallops , crostini , pesto pasta , and polenta fish rillette. Great home made pastas .

Everything was fantastic! Party of 13 on a Friday night & service was flawless. We selected menu two days prior to our visit. Personalized menus were printed & set at each place setting. A++++

Incredible Italian fine dining . Everything about it from the vibe, interiors, aesthetics, staff , wine , and esp the food was flawless. Come here on a Sat night at 8pm and you'll experience what I felt.

PureWow: Homemade pasta is the name of the game. The restaurant churns out classic Italian dishes and a few with a modern twist. (The wok-fried arrabbiatta definitely falls into the latter camp.)

Hand crafted pastas ! Arrabbiata and Tortelli Verde are both full of flavor and delicious! You feel hip just being there!

The Arancini at Monteverde might be the best you can have on this side of the Atlantic while I believe Chef can give the ones in Rome a challenge as well .

The pasta are made in-house and absolutely delicious. I was here for restaurant week, and both pasta and antipasto dish were awesome. Excellent customer service ... And wine ????

Located in Chicago's West Loop-great staff greets you like you are a regular. Amazing food offerings. Very Popular so make reservations . Try the Skate Wing . YUM!

There is something lurid and Vegas-like about the two women making pasta on an elevated stage behind the bar at Monteverde, the Italian restaurant in Chicago's West Loop . Read more

Great spot for brunch , not too crowded , good drinks, good food, great service. Would love to come back again for dinner !

Can’t go wrong here, everything is absolutely delicious! Sat at the bar and had a great experience

Amazing. Ordered way too much but honestly happy with that decision. The ragu alla napoletana is enough for three people to split as their main dish.

Loved everything- the bruschetta and pasta . Try the cacio whey Pepe

This casual , affordable restaurant is perfect for the neighborhood , and her pastas (traditional and creative) are joyful and delicious. Read more

Not a bad dish on the menu, but the vanilla bean panna cotta with roasted stone fruit was the perfect finish to an outstanding meal.

The ragu is deceptively big. Pictures don't do it justice. It will feed at least 3-4 people. Makes for delicious leftovers though!

You can't go wrong here. Current faves on the menu: stuffed cabbage , tortelloni di zucca, gnocchetti con pesto

Killer spot, go after 9:30pm . Easier to get table or eat at the bar

Fresh fish , home made pasta and tons of tasty appetizers . Also great service.

Amazing pasta and great place for groups (if you can get a res)

Great ambiance, amazing staff , and the Agnolotti was to die for!!

Loved the spring vegetable salad . Pastas were flawless. Service was great.

This place was unbelievable. Get the skate . Try a pasta . Go for everything.

Fantastic brunch . Prosciutto and melon is a must.

I’m in the minority I know but we live in NYC and felt this meal was just OK...

Homemade pasta and ricotta that is absolutely delightful.

The pastas are the stars, such as cannelloni saltimbocca with merguez , manchego cheese , peas , harissa , and balsamico, many of which are made on a small demonstration stage of sorts behind the bar . Read more

Sit at the bar to watch the pasta be made by hand.

Stuffed blossoms. I've always wanted to try them and I'm glad it was at Monteverde

Start with a plate of burrata and ham , or a crisp salad , or ’nduja arancini — but reserve most of your appetite for the uplifting pastas . Read more
