Finally my Southport 'hood gets an adult restaurant!! Billy, GM Francis and their great staff have launched a fantastic new spot in Chicago that rivals any restaurant in Chicago! Great food, solid wine list and attentive staff makes this Southport spot my new fave! Can't wait for them to open the patio!!
A gem. Great food. Wonderful wine selection and interesting cocktails. The bar is fantastic and airy. Just adds more class to Southport Corridor and a menu that will please. Staff is friendly and the place is bustling with good energy all around to make the food experience even better...

We’ve walked by Coda di Volpe for years, however we’ve never stopped in for dinner. Friday night we did and we found our new go-to Italian restaurant! The minute we walked in the door we were greeted by smiling faces at the host stand and immediately seated. As we walked to our table we commented just how warm and welcoming the decor and lighting felt.
Our server Emma immediately greeted us with a big smile and gave us the rundown of the menu etc. Within minutes we had our drinks and the delicious Pork & Beef Meatballs. Shortly after the reservation manager Walker stopped by our table and greeted us making sure our table was perfect. He was so kind and has a very welcoming personality!
Throughout the evening, we had several servers and other staff walk by and say hello. EVERYONE was so friendly and it was evident they love working at Coda.
Our entrees Rigatoni Con Ragu and Spicy Mafaldine Di Granchio were some of the best pasta dishes we’ve ever had! The texture, flavor and temperature were perfect. We ended the night with the Hazelnut Caramel.
Do not make the same mistake we made by waiting so many years to try Coda out! I guarantee you will walk out of there already planning your next visit. Thanks to all of the staff for making our night perfect!

Coda di Volpe in Chicago offers a delightful Italian dining experience, highlighted by its delicious food and excellent service. From the moment I entered the restaurant, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming ambiance that set the tone for a wonderful meal.
The standout dishes of my visit were undoubtedly the pizza and the pasta special. The pizza, with its perfectly charred crust, was a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. Topped with fresh, high-quality ingredients, each slice was a testament to the authenticity of Italian cuisine that Coda di Volpe prides itself on. The pasta special was equally impressive. It was expertly cooked to al dente perfection, with a sauce that was both rich and nuanced, showcasing the culinary prowess of the chefs.
What truly elevated the dining experience was the exceptional service. The wait staff were not only friendly but also incredibly attentive, ensuring that every aspect of the meal was to our satisfaction. Their recommendations were spot on, adding to the enjoyment of the meal.
Overall, Coda di Volpe stands out as a gem in Chicago's culinary scene. The combination of delicious, authentic Italian cuisine and top-notch service makes it a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. The pizza and pasta special, in particular, are dishes that should not be missed.
Highly recommend this Italian restaurant. Service was outstanding -- especially since these days it's spotty. The food was excellent. Hand the focaccia with the whipped ricotta -- to die for! Had the margarita pizza (thin crust) -- especially good and had the rigatoni ragu with sausage -- spot on. 😊
We came for lunch and had a great time! Their pizza was incredible and the drinks were definitely well made. Even the space was perfectly casual-elegant with impeccable service. I could see this becoming a fancier spot for dinner. Our small selection of food blew us away and we’ll definitely be back to try more.

Over the last 7 years I have publicly reviewed less than 10 establishments. It takes so far "above and beyond" to impress me enough to write a review- especially in the restaurant category. I highly recommend Coda di Volpe to anyone looking for a memorable night out.
I came for dinner service on a cold weekday night in late November for my wife's birthday dinner. Before even getting to the day of the reso I had received a text from the restaurant not only confirming the reservation but the spelling of my wife's name for a special arrival surprise. Fantastic elevated service touch.
When we arrived in house the welcome from the host stand and operations manager were genuine and felt sincere. The service from Cameron was extremely attentive and unique- a welcomed change from what seems to pass as acceptable service these days.
Cameron was knowledgeable in all aspects of the menu and could confidently answer questions and give suggestions for our drinks and meal. Managing several larger parties simultaneously Cameron never missed a beat, he was always available and in the 2 hours we were there I never once noticed him not on the floor working.
Not once did I feel like we were waiting or rushed in the timing of courses. A food runner error (or 2) was handled with grace by both Cameron and the manager to quickly recover and seamlessly continue our evening.
Portion sizes were excellent, food was elegant, wine was delightful, and the entire evening didn't break the bank- 10/10 will suggest to friends and family and I will return again myself!

Ah, Coda di Volpe, where the ambiance subtly whispers "sophisticated Italian villa" and the food loudly proclaims, "Mamma mia, that's delicious!" Stepping into this establishment feels like being teleported straight to Italy, minus the jet lag and the over-enthusiastic street performers. It's as if Leonardo da Vinci and my Nonna had a decor battle, and both won.
As for the food, each dish seemed to have graduated with honors from the University of Flavor Town. The pasta was so authentically Italian; I half expected it to break into an opera aria. And the pizza? Crispy, chewy, and with flavor that was out of this world.
But the real star of the evening? Our waitress, Catie F. I haven't seen someone juggle plates, orders, and funny anecdotes quite like her. It's as if she trained at the Harvard School of Hospitality with a minor in acrobatics. She even remembered it was my birthday! Mamma mia!
In conclusion, if you're seeking an Italian experience that’s a delightful blend of gastronomic brilliance and decor that tells a thousand tales, Coda di Volpe has you covered. And if you're lucky enough to be served by Catie F, well, brace yourself for service so good you might just attempt to say your gratitudes in Italian by the end of the night. Grazie mille, Coda di Volpe!
I made a reservation here for a group of ladies of a bachelorette party and it was the most fabulous experience I’ve had during a night out from recent memory. They did a great job with little details to make the bride feel special from menu customization with the her name on it, welcome champagne, and fresh flowers on the table.
All the food was amazing - you can’t order a bad thing here. We got pizza, a couple of the pastas, wine, and desserts and they were all to die for.
Lastly, our server was the sweetest most thoughtful woman and handled a bigger group perfectly.
I can’t recommend this place enough!
had a great experience at coda di volpe! we sat outside on the patio and really enjoyed the food and ambiance. we had the tuna appetizer and it was delish! also enjoyed the branzino, ragu pasta, and spicy sausage pizza. the pizza is served with scissors to use for cutting it into slices which i think is unique. would definitely come back here again and recommend it to friends!
Amazing gluten free options - pasta & focaccia. Ask for the chili oil!! Great service & outdoor patio was beautiful for a warm fall evening.
Consistently amazing elevated Italian comfort food! I rarely order salads in general but their grape arugula salad is one of the best I’ve ever had. The focaccia bread appetizer is baked in-house and comes with tasty fixings on the side. Pizzas and pastas are always fresh, even when delivered. I’m also a fan of the tiramisu and gelato for dessert when dining in. The staff goes out of their way to accommodate and remember food allergies and dietary restrictions, so perfect spot for any group!
