The place itself is perfect for groups or drinks. It’s a little loud and very airy/big room so not very romantic for a date. The food is all interesting, each dish has its own unique flavor. Our favorites were the brown butter hummus and pistachio ravioli.

Il Carciofo is awesome. The service was terrific and the food was off the charts. The carbonara was the best I have ever had and the artichoke appetizer is a must. Zeppole dessert was a great way to finish a great meal. Already booked the next reservation!!

I was so happy we were able to get in last minute. We looked at reservations for tonight around 11 am, the only thing available was 9:15. Maybe 45 minutes later a 6:45 pops up and we were able to snag it. We had the short rib humus, whipped feta, hamachi, pork belly, steak & frites, fried halloumi and two kabobs. Perfect for all 4 of us hungry eaters. 100% will be back- if you can get in I highly recommend trying anything and everything on the menu. Service was impeccable. Food was courses perfectly and everything came out hot right out of the oven. If you have been to Bavel in LA you will love this “sister” in Chicago
