The venue is very nice and is perfect for a small gathering. The food is delicious, my only knock is that the lunchtime food menu/offering is a bit limited.

As part of my team Christmas outing we went to dinner at DiPescara. After going to the Chicago Botanical Gardens light show it was the perfect place—friendly and attentive staff, good selection of beverages, specials, appetizers, salads, entrees and wine. Everyone loved their meal and the prices were very reasonable.

Been back about 4 times in last 6 weeks. This time out with my golf buddies. We had a great time. Owner greeted me and showed me to our table. She and her co owner husband are very engaging. Food is very good (same chef as Next Door). Service keeps getting better. It’s becoming our “Go To” place just like its predecessor.

The food and service were excellent. Our group enjoyed being able to relax and talk without being rushed. We really enjoyed being able to chat without raising our voices to be heard. We are planning to meet again in January!
