If you’re searching for an authentic Italian dining experience that transports you straight to the heart of Italy, look no further than Osteria del Pastaio in Chicago. This charming restaurant is a hidden gem that beautifully captures the essence of Italian cuisine and hospitality.

After coming back from Italy, I have to say this did not disappoint!! Definitely much better than the average Italian restaurant in Chicago. Our wine was smooth and delicious, and there’s an expansive wine menu (both by the glass and bottle) and full bar. The bread service was very good (focaccia and tomatoes). The Caesar salad was mostly good although some of the lettuce was bitter. We loved the mushroom risotto and spaghetti cacio e pepe. Portions for pasta/risotto are HUGE and you can easily share or have extra for lunch the next day! Lastly, we enjoyed the peaceful patio (with our dog) and the servers were wonderful, friendly, and very professional. Nice classy place!

Located in the heart of Gold Coast, Osteria prides itself on being a truly authentic Italian restaurant with specialty dishes just like you’d eat in Italy. With artisan pastas made daily, breads baked fresh each morning, and seasonal desserts and candies all house-made, you’ll feel like you escaped the bustle of the city and transported to Italy!

Fantastic. I was in town for a conference and I took a flyer on this place. When I walked in the door I knew I got it right as I was hit with great kitchen smells. The wait staff was attentive, but a little disorganized, it was very European. Don’t worry, we got everything we needed with a smile. They left us alone to enjoy ourselves. The food was amazing. Everything was cooked right, and presented well. They have a decent wine list with lots of options. The prices are reasonable based on the quality. The management is approachable and proud of their team. I travel a lot and generally avoid Italian places (tends to be mediocre in most cities) but every now and again you need something familiar. This place was great!

Had an amazing dinner here. This is a family owned restaurant with lots of attention to quality and details. We had the truffle pasta which is prepared table side in a parmesan cheese roll…Yum! The appetizers had a unique and fresh taste as well as the special of the day, veal dish which was so light and flavorful. Don’t miss out and check out this Italian delight next.

Good location, nice relaxing ambience, soothing music, and lovely aromas of freshly cooked delights. Plenty of seating for solo, couples, or small groups. Reservation recommended but not required. The reception staff and the servers were all very pleasant and welcoming. The food was awesome, flavorful and fresh, from the appetizers to the main courses. Selection of wines and non alcoholic drinks available. It’s a special treat to watch the preparation of the Pecorini Al Tartufo Nero at your table. A great dining experience.

I came here for a date night and to try the cheese wheel pasta (they make your pasta table side in a huge cheese wheel). I loved the ambience of this restaurant and how intimate it was. Their wine selection was very large, and it gave off a fancy vibe, perfect for special occasions.

Decent restaurant but very expensive. Service was slow and they actually charge for bread service. In the end it’s still only pasta . A $250 bill for 2 is not necessary.

Absolutely beautiful meal. The evening was doused with romantic music, charming ambiance, and a perfect touch of modern with tradition. The pasta was decadent and the staff were polite while personable. I appreciated them taking an extra minute for small talk. Even with such a generous portion, I couldn’t stop eating. I look forward to returning.
