    If you are a fan of northern Italian cuisine, check out Sofi. The food quality, service, staff, and location make this one of the best in Chicago.

    Excellent dinner with my wife. Service was impeccable and the food and wine were excellent. Not a huge menu or wine list, but all classics (northern Italian) and well done. A bit pricey but definitely recommended.

    It's a very nice cozy restaurant with excellent service and a great menu. I think it's quite pricey - $39 for a simple chicken dish seems excessive and same for $30 pasta. Given those prices, it wouldn't be my regular stop but if I am at the theater downtown I would eat there.

    In Chicago for convention. Looking for Italian place we haven’t been to before. What a GEM. Great atmosphere, service and good food. Noise level was good as most place in city are very loud. One small hitch with my meal was side of rissotto was over done and bland. Will definitely be back!
