My wife and I were visiting Chicago, checking out or old neighborhood from when we were hip urbanites…when we stumbled on Tortello. We wished that Tortello would have been around when we were Ukrainian Village residents! There are countless Italian restaurants in Chicago…but I could count on one hand the number of Chicago restaurants that make food as it is prepared in Italy, as opposed to Italian-American food.

What Adithi J doesn't like about Tortello:
The food was good and the pasta is genuinely made well and cooked well. The food feels authentic to Italian cuisine. However, I took half a star off because I think the food is a bit too pricey for the quality you get in terms of location and experience. I took off another half star because I think the tables are way too close together, preventing cohesive conversation. View all feedback.
So nice to eat at a place that just focuses on simple, high quality pasta and has the actual feel of being in Italy. We ordered the Cacio e Pepe, Signature Tortelli as well as a fennel salad. I love Cacio e Pepe so was surprised when the Tortelli took the day with its subtle blend of savory and sweet. We will 100% be back.
We ordered a chef’s special dinner for 2 and then a few pasta dishes on the side including the beef ragu. The entire meal was delicious and wonderful. I do think the portions are small by American standards but we prefer quality over quantity so we were fine with that. The pasta textures were perfect, the focaccia with whipped ricotta was to die for and the eggplant salad was a perfect balance of bitter greens and sweet marinated eggplant. Can’t wait to eat here again.
The squid ink pasta fococcia bread with honey/ricotta was literally everything I needed.
This is hands down the best Italian pasta joint in Chicago. The patio outside is some dream-date magic
I adore the pasta here. It’s all fresh, made in house, and they even sell it for you to take home and cook at home (along with other Italian food items). Their signature burrata tortelli pasta dish is beyond anything I’ve ever had. It’s so good that I hate to say, I’ve not ordered anything else there lol. But I’ve tried other peoples dishes and nothing has disappointed. Outdoor patio is so perfect, feels a little European, and the staff is always genuinely nice.
