La Storia

A great place to hang out with friends and family. They have a dim lit super looking ambience ideal for someone wanting to spend quality time. There is a bar, all in all very unique to itself. You are greeted by polite and friendly people who get into meaningful conversations with you. They have some excellent spirits and great Italian food.

*Update to 07/23- this restaurant maintains a great experience and food. We had orecchiette allá pugliese, just divine! As always great service, we love the waiter, he is always so nice. Environment is excellent. Truly Italian experience all the way around. We sat in the back patio. **Great experience! We have been here twice, dinner and brunch. Decent prices and good food. Very distinct from other Italian restaurants. Dinner was amazing service was very good. Brunch menu is great. We asked for prosciutto side which wasn’t on the menu and we got it. So, you can always ask. Flavors are so fresh and natural. Nice to have different type of vegetables than the usual, natural bursting flavors. Thank you chef! Service and environment is great. We were very satisfied. Will definitely go back.

Mike K is single handedly is the reason why we decided to dine at this fine establishment. He saw us reading the menu outside and gave us the entire history of the building and restaurant before he invited us in less than 30 minutes before the kitchen closed. We just had gotten to the city after a long 7 hour drive and he made us feel right at home. He even gave us a tour of the original upstairs dining area that survived the old Chicago fire. Most importantly, the food was perfectly on par for what we needed. I recommend the Fried rice balls and pork shoulder dish they have. A most when I’m the Gold Coast neighborhood
