Nice little place with character and amazing food!!! Will definitely be back and will recommend as much as I can!!!
We’ve been going to this neighborhood restaurant since it first opened, and we love it! The food es excellent, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and we’ve never been disappointed!
What a charming and welcoming place. Dined before going to Victory Gardens Theatre. Delicious food and wonderful service. We'll be back!
We sat outside for our anniversary and it was so romantic and everyone was super friendly. The veal was phenomenal!
Fabulous! After a long travel day, wandered into this delightful spot. Ravioli was superb. Wait staff polite and attentive.
Really incredible food! We were not expecting how good it was. Can't wait to go again!
Delicious food, great service, reasonable pricing. Awesome.
Great experience! Food was amazing and service was top notch!
Thank you for hosting our family Christmas tonight. Everything was top notch: food, service, & ambience.
Very authentic Italian food! The wine list is excellent
While waiting for that place across the street, we decided to try out Enoteca. I’m very glad we did. The service is outstanding, out server was super nice, knowledgeable, and very attentive, he made a great recommendation on the fava beans for an appetizer. The food was fantastic, decent sized portions and they have a pretty nice wine list to accompany your meal. Definitely a place to go if you’re looking for Italian food.
While this was my 1st visit Riccardo’s Enoteca to celebrate a special occasion, it will not be my last!
Hostess Jasmine and staff without exception were very friendly and customer focused. I am appreciative of their efforts to make me feel welcome to this cute Italian restauran. Jasmine made excellent recommendations for Italian wine which paired nicely with the meal.
However, the star was the food! Being a fan of eggplant, I highly recommend the eggplant/zucchini appetizer which was cooked to perfection. For the main, I ordered the Amish Chicken Breast Milanese arugula with grape tomato’s and roast potato which was excellent but a very large portion. It was cooked to perfection.
I saved room for the house made tiramisu which hit the spot with a cup of cafe American!
I recommend dining early to avoid the crowds. There is also room at the bar to sit and dine. Give this place a try….you won’t be disappointed! 😘

This place, yes this one! Are you looking for great Italian food anywhere in Chicago? It’s this place! I am amazed! My wife and I stumbled upon this place and it’s sister restaurant across the street when we were looking for an odd recommendation of pizza pot pie, when we got turned away from the pizza pot pie place we decided to try this places sister restaurant across the street. I specifically said let’s see if we get lucky and oh my did we! The other restaurant is supposed to be the more upscale place but i have to respectfully disagree. We came back to try this place knowing it was the sister restaurant and we were absolutely blown away by the level of warmth and service by the staff, not to say the sister restaurant was bad by any means this was just so amazing. We came back to see which we would try again, we passed by the sister restaurant saw our server, he waved and smiled but here we walked by and they said “Are we doing this again tonight?”, it felt like a family member asking if you were hungry and wouldn’t let you leave even if you weren’t, phenomenal! We had such a great time, I’ll post pictures of the food and the wine but I really cannot imagine these fine people serving anything that is not up to par. Be sure to tell your server what you like and what you don’t, trust their recommendation and enjoy the best Italian and probably the best meal and service you’ve ever had. I’m so grateful Chef Riccardo hasn’t opened one in Houston where I am from because I would be enormous, and not have a dream of opening a real Italian restaurant there! Prove me wrong by naming a better place, until then I will remain haunted by this one and hope you will too!
Highly Recommend: the food, atmosphere, and service were all great! On weekend nights make sure to make a reservation as the place is not big and can fill up. From what I had I would definitely recommend gazpacho and bucatini carbonara. Fava beans as well as tiramisu were alright to try, nothing particularly special, about them, yet good.
Riccardo always makes me feel at home. Best neighborhood spot to grab a seat at the bar, they take great care of you. Cozy atmosphere, high quality ingredients, simple wonderful Italian spot.
Fantastic experience all around, food was great. Left with a full stomach but not a food coma. Fantastic risotto.
Been there twice and that is the best Italian restaurant I’ve been to in Chicago! The food is delicious, I had some risotto once and some mozarella the other time and also tasted the carbonara pasta. The place is nice as well, and the workers are very professional and agreeable. Love this neighborhood-restaurant atmosphere!
It’s was a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing wines, food and service. Our server Juan Pablo is extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations.
Definitely recommend 💯
The fried mozzarella with arugula, tomatoes, and balsamic was delicious. We both enjoyed our pastas - the lasagna was very rich and hearty. Lots of meat sauce and cheese. The pesto pasta was a hit too!
We have been a regular customer since it opened. I cannot say enough in praise of the ambiance, food and service. I live in Lake Geneva Wisconsin much of the time. I keep trying to get them to open a sister restaurant there. To no avail. I recommend Enoteca without reservation, unless it becomes too difficult to get a table😃
First visit... won't be the last. We had an exceptional experience. The food was excellent - all four of us ordered different entrees and everyone was happy (that lasagna...yummmm...no words!!!). And we received superior service from our gentleman server, who elevated the entire experience. What a special little neighborhood restaurant.

Absolutely charming Italian restaurant with outside seating for you and your pet.
I was hiking for the day with my pyrenees puppy and decided it was a good time to relax and enjoy pasta and I wasn't disappointed.
The small serving of bread 🍞 was homemade and unique and the pesto pasta was literally one of the most flavorful and authenticly made I've had in ages. If I wasn't so stuffed I would have tried a dessert but the portions were generous and I had to take home at least half.
I definitely recommend this cute Italian restaurant if you live traditional Italian pasta and cuisine. The service was excellent and he even brought out water 💧 for my puppy without me even asking.
Love this place! Jasmine was phenomenal in helping me surprise my in-laws. Customer service 10/10.
Downtown during St Patrick's celebration to see Mozart exhibit and accidentally ran into this place. Real good food! Great service! The grilled octopuss was awesome, so hard to find this. My wife had the cheese gnocchi was also very tasty. Want to try everything on their menu.
Always a great experience here. Wonderful staff, homemade pasta, rich sauce and a romantic neighborhood feel. Highly recommended.
Loved their burrata/proscuitto, table focaccia bread, bolognese and tiramisu. Would come back!
Lovely atmosphere. Great service. Meals are served slowly (in a good way so you don't have to rush). Do skip the calamari and octopus. They were rubbery. The rest of our dishes were excellent.
Small place with great food. Feels homely.
