Lovely old-fashioned restaurant, and they're all about the pasta, which is great! I absolutely loved my Gnocchi which was perfect with the mozzarella, but then had regrets once I tasted my wife's Fruit de Mer Pasta where the taste of seafood was just overwhelmingly incredible. The Fried Calamari was
This is one of my favorite coffee shops in Hyde park. Their lunch specials (cookie, sandwiches and coffee) combination is my favorite. This place truly feels like a cafe in that you can come with friends, share coffee and light snacks and talk while enjoying the ambience.
We stumbled upon this charming Italian cafe during a birthday getaway to Chicago and loved it. Authentic food and beautiful views of green space through large windows, this place is a hidden gem. Perfect luncheon!
Piccolo Mondo lives in a quiet, picturesque corner in Hyde Park. It’s a great setting for a relaxed date and the well put-together menu only makes it better. Even the bread and olive oil they serve while you wait is as tasty as everything else they make. Their bakery creates some delectable desserts
I love everything about this place. It's in the cut (blink and you'll miss it) neighborhood walk, the wine and the food is great. Staff were kind and very informative.
Just a block away from the Museum of Science and Industry, I somehow missed this place for years. Perfect sizes baked goodies and delicious express/ coffee drinks. The presentation is always a smile maker!
We had just come from walking around the museum and saw this restaurant was close. They seated us right away and took our drink orders. The place is very comfortable with tables to accommodate individuals to a small group. I had the Canelone Veneziana which was on the specials listed on the attach
OMG what a wonderful dining experience! Beautiful ambiance, perfect service in all ways that matter, and delicious food. We loved it!
Exquisite food and desserts! The service is good and the atmosphere is ideal for conversations. Definitely recommend.
Excellent food. Good portions seafood pasta was yummy
I'm writing this review more as a memoir as we missed the closing!
We found this gem a few years ago and it easily became our favorite restaurant. We were last there in October for our anniversary. The best italian food, the best customer service. Thank you for the memories
Nice restaurant, with great service and good tasting food. It was a bit difficult to find a vegetarian and dairy free option.
My friends and I stopped on a lark, had never been before, and LOVED it! The ambience was nice and the waitstaff very solicitous. The food was tasty and there was enough to take home for a late night snack. Quite reasonably priced.
We had no reservation, but we were immediately seated outside. It was a beautiful night. We ordered the grilled calamari, spaghetti w/white wine sauce and half chicken. Everything was delicious and fast service. Hadn't been in awhile and definitely wasn't disappointed.
My boyfriend and I had an amazing dinner here. Very cozy and inviting atmosphere, especially sitting by the window with the snow falling outside. We ordered entrees off of the Specials menu, and we both were very happy with our meals. We each ordered a dessert, which were also delicious. The prices
LOVED THIS PLACE! My best friend and I met here for our monthly dinner (sometimes being an adult kinda sucks - no more unscheduled friend trips) and we were not let down. First of all, it was tough figuring out which of the entrees I wanted to eat, but I settled with their lamb chops, mashed potatoe
What a quaint and lovely hidden gem! I'm so glad online reviews led my mother and I here. The servers were very friendly, spot on with their recommendations, and provided excellent care. The food was delicious and cooked and seasoned perfectly! We ordered the Norwegian salmon and chicken specials. H
I have only been to the cafe side, not the restaurant. So I can't comment on that. The baked goods are really fresh, especially in the morning. The drink sizes are also nice in big mugs if you drink it there. Small tables for individual seating or pairs. Sandwiches are also good, especially when toa
