“What an amazing experience, food was delicious!! I had the pleasure to meet the owners Vinzenco and Letizia, amazing people!! Looking forward to go back and try everything they offer, best Italian food I’ve had in a long time! Can’t wait to be back!”
“Such a wonderful family owned restaurant in the heart of Wicker. We were surprised and delighted to meet the owner (grandma), son, and granddaughter during our dinner here! We learned about how they’ve been around since 1998 and the polenta recipe came from the owner’s mother in Rome. We ended up getting the arancini, beet salad, zucchini pasta special, venison polenta, hugo spritz, and the spritz flight! Portions were great and the pasta/everything was made from scratch and so fresh. Highly recommend this spot! We will absolutely be back and next time will get the bruschetta flight! Thank you 🙏🏼”
“I came here wanting the basics. You know like, mozzarella sticks, garlic bread, Alfredo, spaghetti & meat balls etc, etc. To my surprise they had none of that. However the kind waitress recommended other dishes and I was open to it. My son had the kids traditional spaghetti 🍝 (didn’t come with meatballs) and I tried the Penne arrabbiata (spicy marinara garlic mostaccioli with sausage chucks). It was really good. Honestly, if I would have checked out the menu before coming in, I probably wouldn’t have stopped here. But I’m glad I went in all gung-ho! It was a pleasant experience. The ambiance was peaceful, the waitress was super kind and the food was delicious.”
“I had the best time at Enoteca Roma! The food was delicious and the service was 10/10. The little touches Enoteca Roma included in my dinner once they found out it was my birthday was so charming and appreciated by my entire group. The owner Letizia even came over and wanted to be sure we were having a good time (we absolutely were). Such a cozy and sweet spot on Division. Can’t wait to return. Ask for Hector!”
“Service was very kind and quick. Food was very fresh and tasted closer to authentic Italian cuisine. My favorite was the Dragona pizza and arancini! I would recommend this cute spot for a date night”
“This place was quite average. Although the waitstaff were very nice. We came here on a Friday night around 5pm (there were three of us - 2 adults, 1 child). I started with a red wine and we got the bruschetta and arancini for appetizers. The arancini were dry, even the sauce on the outside didn’t help. The bruschetta was very dry but the toppings were quite good. For my main meal I got the eggplant Parmesan, which was a little mushy as opposed to caramelized. It was average. My partner got mushroom polenta which came with a performance from the staff pouring it out on a board at the table. All a little weird but he enjoyed the meal. We didn’t get dessert but it looked good.”
“Hector took great care of us. The patio is so secluded and peaceful. Get the Gnocchi!”
