Best Family Style Restaurants in Edgebrook

Good food and service. Restaurant was fairly quiet for a Sunday evening.

As fans of Rose Mary we were eager to try El Carciofi and willing to take a 4:45 reservation. This is as fun and as delicious as Rose Mary and shares the same approach to dining—shareable small plates. Interesting craft cocktails, sufficient wines by the glass, exceptionally well trained wait staff and very flavorful food. Gus menu was all Rome inspired so it was a little less diverse than Rose Mary. The artichokes were spectacular crisply Rome style. Every inch was edible. Two to an order but they bring you a serrated knife if you want to have them. We had one other appetizer (calamari), one pasta and one seafood main. The portions are great for two to share but if three or four order another something or two and expect to get just a couple bites not full servings. They have $8 servings of gelato and sorbet and a couple amazing deserts they offered to checkout coats.a nice touch in Chicago’s winter. It’s easy to spend $100 per person if you gave two drinks each and desert. We found street parking but forgot to feed the meter since the sign wasn’t obvious so double check

The appetizer sampler plate was so filling that we almost didn't order anything else--but we managed a couple more things. Food was great, and the service was non intrusive--like dining in Europe, the servers gave us space and time to enjoy our meal.

There were a few slip ups, but everything was rectified right away. The food was excellent. The service was good and the manager was fantastic. Definitely will be back soon.

It was my first time visiting a Polish restaurant. The overall experience was amazing. It’s small but lovely. The waitress was very good at guiding us as to what she thought we might like. The food was very good. It’s very filling. We definitely could have split our entree. This place is definitely a winner 🥰
