Katie LynnOctober 6, 2021Excellent food. Excellent service. Recognized by the Italian government as authentic! Rigatoni with sausage, the pesto, the specials all top notch.Upvoted Aug 18
Chicago magazineMay 8, 2012Pastas are a must, notably the veal ravioli with creamy porcini meat sauce and spaghetti chitarra carbonara. Save room for panna cotta with passion fruit coulis. Fairly priced Italian wines. Read more
Jason runs a great front of the house. Best bet is to order off of the daily special menu. Killer antipasto and entrees everyday. Great food any day of the week; Riccardo does it right!
Kevin DulinDecember 22, 2014Very large specials menu highlighting the freshness of the food. All the pastas are delicious! Very lively and warm environment.
Carla HamSeptember 19, 2013Aside from rich pastas dripping with sauce, the star of the menu is the cotoletta alla Milanese, a breaded veal chop served with arugula and grape tomatoes.- Jon B.January 27, 2019The sesame tuna was excellent. Pastas were fresh and home made. Great little neighborhood trattoria.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 16, 2011This 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- Vicki SchwarzMarch 30, 2015Coffee is imported from Italy as is the chef. Saw seinfeld here once while in for dinner. They always fit regulars in if they can
Their Fettuccine Bolognese is excellent. I also really like their arugula salad.
Ken McVayApril 14, 2019Try the bruschetta and arancini antipasti. The sauce for the arancini is a must-have.
Coco LaurenJuly 24, 2017Their pizza is quite good! Also the house salad is a great addition to the pizza.- ISC ChicagoJune 30, 2013Go for the tasting menu: three course meal and you can pretty much choose from the regular menu
Tony SabatinoApril 12, 2011Riccardo is an amazing chef. The veal osso buco with saffron risotto is amazing.
Henry SJuly 17, 2010The one restaurant in Chicago where I truly feel I'm back in Italy. Expect long wait even with reservation.

"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."
Kim Anehall - 9.1
"Never had a bad meal here. Order appetizer portions of their pasta dishes to try a bit of everything!"
Jason Gardner - 7.2
"Delicious food and low key atmosphere. Weather-permitting, sit in the grapevine adorned wine garden in back."
