We recently had the pleasure of returning to Osteria del Pastaio, which is the Chicago Gold Coast's Italian gem. Many of us know them for having an amazing tableside cheese wheel experience, but what you may not know is that their passion, here, is to serve only the freshest ingredients, including artisanal pastas and breads that are all made fresh daily, as well as use high-quality produce, meats and cheeses. They also have an excellent selection of wine to pair perfectly with just about any Italian feast. During our most recent visit, we, of course, had to get the Pecorini Al Tartufo Nero (cheese wheel), because it is THAT yummy. Creamy, cheesy, truffly goodness. However, we ordered an assortment of other menu items, too. Everything was delicious! We especially enjoyed the Fresh Heart of Palm and the Roasted Lamb Chops. The Heart of Palm was so bright and fresh, and you could just smell the truffle emanating from the dish when it hit the table. The Lamb Chops were super flavorful and tender, with an awesome mustard sauce. So good! Additionally, during our visit, we drank lovely wine and sipped a few classic cocktails, particularly a Negroni and a Dirty Gin Martini with Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives. Finally, we finished with our favorite dessert, of late--an Espresso Martini! The service was top notch, making our experience extra special, including a complementary Limoncello from our server at the end. Definitely consider this spot for your next date night!

Located on the Mag Mile, Osteria del Pastaio is a must try Italian Spot that crafts artisanal pastas daily, bakes fresh bread every morning, and offers handcrafted seasonal desserts and candies. While all of the food I tried was delicious, the standout dish is the pasta from a Pecorino cheese wheel! ~ Focaccia ~ Caesar Salad with Shrimp ~ Pecorini al tartufo nero ~ Cremosa Cake with strawberry balsamic gelato ~ Prosecco & Chianti Classico
