- CCarrieChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoDelicious deep dish pizza that took about 35 minutes. Appetizers were tasty, one pasta dish that was super as well as a huge serving. Christmas decor made it so special along with low lighting and music.More infoPizano's Pizza & Pasta - MadisonPrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown / Loop•4.6
- MMary JoChicago / Illinois •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI would give this 5 stars except for the price - a bit steep for lunch -,but the food was amazing except for the risotto which was too sweet for a main course. I have just returned from Italy and I would say this food was very authentic. The calamari was exceptional and I’ve ordered it in a lot of places. I loved the ambiance and appreciated the quietness of the restaurant especially given that so many places thrive on a high noise level. We also enjoyed the music selection.More infoAcantoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown / Loop•4.8

- HHyeVIPHouston •9 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThe quality of the meat is outstanding, but the food overall is delicious! Everything we ate was amazing. We had the wagyu set, soybean soup, dumplings, tteokboki, steak tartare, raw oysters, monkey bread, and banana sesame. Homemade kimchi!!! All delicious and the service was phenomenal. Thomas, Kellen, Eric, and Alexis were all attentive and made everything perfect. Will be back every time we visit Chicago from Ohio. Could not have been happier with the experience.More infoPERILLA steakhouse - RiverwalkPrice: Very Expensive• Korean• Downtown / Loop•4.6
