Antico - Chicago

My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary dinner last night and sat in the back patio. They were very accommodating with placing us wherever we would be most comfortable. We ended up sitting next to the wood-burning stove. Our server William from Paris, France made our evening special. He was so hilarious, so engaging, and 100% himself. Watching him flutter about the restaurant trying to do his best job for everyone was entertainment in and of itself. He always had a funny word to say and was timely in his delivery of everything. We agree that he set the tone for the whole evening and made us feel relaxed and at home. It’s been such a sad few days with the Will Smith slap heard around the world, the war in Ukraine, COVID, the cold depressing weather. We really needed to decompress and he single-handedly raised our vibration. The food is always delicious and served hot so together the whole experience was like a warm hug.

Everything about this place is fantastic. Cute and cozy atmosphere, excellent staff, a great wine list, and amazing food. The seared scallops were phenomenal (on special). Highly recommend.

This place has already become a second home for me, and I have become a regular customer since discovering this resto. When I'm too lazy to move or cook, I'll come to this restaurant by myself to eat. The most recent time I visited this place was last week when I invited a coworker to join me for lunch. I often recommend this establishment to my friends and anyone I am close to, and he enjoyed it as well. We ordered lasagna, polenta, and pappardelle as our main courses. We sat at their table outdoors because it was cool and pleasant, and I enjoyed the atmosphere in that spot. And, by the way, their employees are so accommodating and pleasant; the level of customer service is exceptional, which is one of the reasons I enjoy coming here and have been a regular customer. Everyone must try it out when you guys have time! You should give it a shot, fellas!

A perfect date spot! We loved the Gnocchi; crostini with fig butter, prosciutto and melon; Nebbiolo short rib; and the dessert!! Great wine list and an awesome dining experience

What a great restaurant. The menu is focused on northern Italian dishes. Everything we had was excellent, particularly the sausage appetizer and the veal chop main course. Very attentive and friendly service, nice wine list.
