Antico - Chicago

I absolutely love this hidden gem in the neighborhood! The food is incredibly tasty, the atmosphere is delightful, and the service is exceptional. This is my favorite spot to bring family and friends when they visit.

This charming Italian restaurant in the neighborhood is absolutely delightful. The food is incredibly delicious, and I can't recommend it highly enough!

If you’re vegan, this place might not be for you. While the server started off friendly, the presentation and timing of the dishes and drinks were quite disappointing. The garden offers a lovely atmosphere, but it’s completely overshadowed by the shockingly poor service and overpriced steamed spinach. I left feeling hungrier than when I arrived. Also, skip the olives—they're just a small bowl of store-bought cerignola olives.

The wine and service was fantastic. That’s where the price point ends.Everything else didn’t fit the price. Tablecloths had wine stains. Outside was very cramped and a bit dingy. The garlic crostini that came with the 48 steak and bone marrow (and the only side with that dish) was burnt. The 14 gelato (for two TINY scoops) was freezer burnt. The polenta was just ok.Seems like tiny things, but when the check is over 200 and you didn’t feel like that matched the experience or favor profile at all, that’s when it’s a bit upsetting. We went on a very slow Sunday night, so I don’t understand why we were served subpar food (it wasn’t like they were super busy and rushed). Maybe that should have also been a sign — Sunday evening and it was dead.I also felt a little swindled for what we got versus what we paid for. I don’t think we’ll be back.

I've been coming here since they opened. I consider it my favorite restaurant in all of Chicago.
