Gniochi is excellent as well as the duck spaghetti ! Everything is amazing from the food to the service!

Chicago Tribune

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

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 .

Reserve

If you’re dreaming of warmer weather, enjoy a taste of summer with Acanto’s Winter Citrus Salad — a refreshing combination of pomegranates , hazelnuts , shaved fennel and pecorino . Read more

Spontaniously walked, impessed with the food. Definately eat the Bruschetta it is with Truffled and I also suggest the Soagetti with lobster .

Beef Carpaccio (black truffle aioli , fresh arugula , pickled red onion , carta di musica (sardinian flat bread ))

We went for brunch on Sunday. The brunch special was poached eggs over oven-dried tomatoes & parmesan polenta & it was delicious.

Wendy Burrows

I would recommend the small plate , were very yummy. But all the food looked great to be honest. They have happy hour from 2.30pm too...

Kirstjen Lorenz

Another really great brunch with creamy polenta topped by slow-roasted pork shoulder topped with an over easy egg . Yum!

BEEF CARPACCIO (arugula , pickled cipollini, truffle aioli )

David Price

First time here but I really enjoyed. Owned by Billy Lawless of The Gage but totally different feel.

Ronald C Kuebler, CCC-SLP, ABDA

Wild boar bolognese and revolution draft , followed by branzino !

Eric C

Nice alternative to Cindy's next door since Cindy's was on a long wait . Pleasantly surprised that the food was quite good.

Vicky Ane

my entree was so-so (linguini with clams ) but the bruschetta was amazing!

JYL

Not much in the way of single glasses of wine . Unless you’re prepared to handle a full bottle for your evening, I suggest you try somewhere rose .

David Weathersby

The strozzapretti is amazing.

Raed Mansour

Unbelievably pretentious . Seriously overpriced, small and seems more like a Loop businessman's dating spot after work. Thankfully had one drink and moved on.

Gonzalo Barceló

Expensive, small portions, oversalted

Maria E R.Campa

Muy bien. Rico, buen lugar para "estar". Totalmente recomendable .

ISC Chicago

Stone Oven Margherita Pizza (tomato, garlic, mozzarella di bufala , basil )
