Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Hoffman Estates

As a foodie and a Michelin snob, let me say that the food was amazing! Best Italian in the NW suburbs! Forget the chains! Plus GREAT VALUE. The house made RICOTTA gnocchi were exactly the same as my grandma’s! The Marinara that they were nice enough to make was outstanding. In addition to the traditional dishes there are many innovative dishes : Buffalo mozzarella as a panna cotta Can you send both with a balsamic dressing as well as a pesto and thick cut prosciutto !  The tiramisu served in a mug is dense and creamy with an excellent, balanced taste. The almond semi Alfredo with a semi sweet, flaming chocolate sauce was outstanding. The service was amiable, efficient accomodating and enjoyable. Phenomenal discovery! Best Italian I have had in the Northwest suburbs.

We came for a holiday dinner with our adult kids and had a great time! Drinks were top notch! Appetizers yummy. Pizzas and gnocchi fantastic. The owner has decorated the whole place just beautifully for Christmas and it was the perfect place to share an evening together. Thank you Mickingbird! Merry Christmas!!

Met friends for dinner, our first time at this restaurant. Great decor and excellent food. The wait staff was great! Shepard’s pie was excellent, we will definitely be back.
