Osteria del Pastaio

I had an incredible dining experience! Felix's service was impeccable, and his recommendations were spot on. The carbonara was absolutely delicious, and every drink and entrée was delightful. Highly recommend this place for a fantastic meal!

I love the food here. I’ve been twice with my whole family, once to celebrate Christmas and another time after church, and both experiences were excellent. I love that I get to try so many of their special dishes by sharing and tasting everyone else’s plates. It never disappoints: delicious pasta, rich and flavorful sauces, and perfectly prepared meats. Every visit has been consistently great

I had a really pleasant experience here! Our waiter was really attentive and made sure to go the extra mile with his service. We ordered the Caprese Salad, Focaccia, Penne Arrabbiata, and their famous pasta in the cheese wheel called Pecorini Al Tartufo Nero - it's a pasta prepared in a 50 pound Pecorino cheese wheel with tossed with wild mushrooms, peas, leeks, and freshly shaved truffles. It was very rich but tasty. You definitely should order the Pecorini Al Tartufo Nero to share because after a few bites I was getting full from the heaviness. Also side note the truffle flavor is very intense, if you love truffles you will really like this dish. If you don’t, you can order without! Based on the size of the pasta, I would recommended sharing the plates! The Penne Arrabiata was definitely my favorite of the dishes! We ended with their mango cheesecake which was amazing. I would 100% order it again. Overall I would recommend! **Please note - I am a content creator and was reached out to for my honest opinion in exchange for the meal - however all of my opinions are my own & very much honest!**

Was in Chicago for a show and decided on Osteria del Pastaio because we wanted Italian and it was in close proximity to the venue. Made a reservation and got right in. Beautiful atmosphere, very attentive and quick service. Ordered wine and the delicious foccacia. Had a question about the wine I ordered and was met with some amazing wine knowledge and learned about the Italian region where my wine came from. My sister and I both ordered the house made pasta, she ordered the butternut squash ravioli and I ordered the arrabiata. They were both incredible. That ravioli was HUGE and GORGEOUS and also DELICIOUS! The arrabiata was very tasty and just perfectly spicy. I do have to say the this might be the first place that had perfect portions. Although we could have easily eaten 10 lbs of fresh pasta the portion was the perfect size to clean my plate and not feel like I needed to go lie down. This place is a must stop in Chicago. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town

The food was spot on, this was our third visit with my daughter and her partner. The atmosphere was gorgeous. The food runner was absolutely amazing. He also did our pasta in the Parmesan wheel and he was so sweet. This is where the enjoyment of the employees ended. The woman who waited on us who has waited on us before acted like we shouldn’t be here because we didn’t have enough money or enough class for her. My recommendation ma’am, the next time you decide to be rude to a table maybe you should actually know who they are. I will return, but if she is our server, I will turn around and walk right back out. Thanks Blondie with the glasses.
