Restaurants near Lincoln Park

Our first time back to our favorite restaurant since Chef Greg took over, and he did not disappoint. The menu is a very nice balance of some Matisse favorites with some new, wonderful creations. The staff are first rate. We will be back.

Great survive as always. Love the friendly staff and the delicious food.

This place is the best of the best. I haven’t had a pizza in the States that can hold a candle to Song E Napule. Today we went and tried their butternut squash gnocchi— they are soft, pillowy, round shaped fresh pasta but they’re stuffed in the middle. I can’t tell you with what except that they were phenomenal and a must have. We shared them as an appetizer. Of course we don’t go there without getting a pizza from Giampiero, who has quickly become my favorite pizzaiolo, and he didn’t disappoint. Feels like heaven with every bite! This man is a maestro I tell you! I love him! I also had the privilege of meeting Giuseppe, who I believe is also a chef and pizzaiolo. What a delight! All of the food was fantastic, The Saltimbocca special is a slam bang winner! For dessert we ordered cappuccino (did I mention they have the best coffee?!) and then Omar came over and told us that the chefs were making a special dessert for us. OH. MY. GOODNESS. Or I should say “Maronna mi!” This was one of the best desserts we’ve ever had! It was like a fresh jelly and perfectly sweetened cream cheese donut— except it was like a calzone. I seriously have no words for this sinfully delicious treat that we couldn’t help but polish off even though we were trying to stay away from desserts! We said “it’s the holidays! When are we going to eat this again?!” And we savored every bite of that crunchy, yet soft and oh so flavorful outside and that velvety goodness that was on the inside. WOW! If I could give this place 10 stars I would. They’re amazing! Eduardo came over to us and knew our names and was so kind and welcoming and Kevin was great and very accommodating. Omar is our usual server who really makes us feel like family. Great food. Great location (we always find parking). Great people. Very Clean! Who could ask for more? This place is a gift. We’re already planning on going back next week. Caution: When you leave, a little piece of your heart will remain at Song E Napule.

This was our second visit. First one great but this one way greater. Manny very professional and knowledgeable. Gave amazing recommendation and all were spot on. Definitely will be returning. This place is very good for any type of occasion, even to impress someone because of how great the food is and even better the service.

One of the best Italian meals I’ve ever had! Definitely recommend!
