Unforgettable meal at a Chicago classic. I've been looking for cheese wheel pasta for so long and this one knocked it outta the park!
First, George, our server, was fantastic. He shared that the restaurant has been family owned for many years and all pastas are handmade.

After coming back from Italy, I have to say this did not disappoint!! Definitely much better than the average Italian restaurant in Chicago. Our wine was smooth and delicious, and there’s an expansive wine menu (both by the glass and bottle) and full bar. The bread service was very good (focaccia an

It was packed on a weekday evening, people celebrating birthdays, families visiting for graduation, and date nights/friend outings
❤️ We got a small table by the window. Nice and moody, perfect for a date night to celebrate our 4 year an
Fetuchini Alfredo I’ve always felt it tasted basic. Until after I tasted the one from here. Flavors were amazing, Lobster was to die for. Overall a great meal. Impressive place !
Went here for a 1st date, and it was amazing, especially for the price. This was my 1st time at a fancy and pricey restaurant so...I had to get the most popular item on the menu, Pecorini Al Tartufo Nero, which was delicious. The truffle was a tad overwhelming, and the tequila wasn't burned/cooked
Decent restaurant but very expensive. Service was slow and they actually charge for bread service. In the end it’s still only pasta . A $250 bill for 2 is not necessary.
Had an amazing dinner here. This is a family owned restaurant with lots of attention to quality and details. We had the truffle pasta which is prepared table side in a parmesan cheese roll...Yum! The appetizers had a unique and fresh taste as well as the special of the day, veal dish which was so li
There is a little slice of Italy right here in Chicago and it’s here at Osteria del Pasatio. I’ve been seeing the amazing pasta that this restaurant makes in that drool worthy cheese wheel and I had to get here!
From beginning to end my experience, here was great! I had a very attentive waiter, w
Superb authentic Italian food, incredibly friendly and professional staff. Loved cheese wheel truffle pasta and flourless chocolate cake garnished with raspberries.
Good location, nice relaxing ambience, soothing music, and lovely aromas of freshly cooked delights. Plenty of seating for solo, couples, or small groups. Reservation recommended but not required. The reception staff and the servers were all very pleasant and welcoming. The food was awesome, flavorf
Fantastic. I was in town for a conference and I took a flyer on this place. When I walked in the door I knew I got it right as I was hit with great kitchen smells. The wait staff was attentive, but a little disorganized, it was very European. Don’t worry, we got everything we needed with a smile. Th
I came here for a date night and to try the cheese wheel pasta (they make your pasta table side in a huge cheese wheel). I loved the ambience of this restaurant and how intimate it was. Their wine selection was very large, and it gave off a fancy vibe, perfect for special occasions.

Great place to grab a nice dinner. The food was delicious, wine & service were good as well. The temperature in the restaurant was hot then cold and hot then cold. It wasn’t a very comfortable dining experience. The other thing that was very disturbing was the Pecorini Al Tartufo Nero. It’s c
Osteria Del Pastaio was just as good as the last time I went. Great service. You do have to pay for water, and it is the Italian still water. Food was exceptionally delicious, and the portions on the pasta were large. I skipped on true cheese wheel pasta, and I promise you that getting the osetra ca
