Dimmi Dimmi Corner Italian

“Vodka pizza changed our lives.”

Vodka pizza changed our lives. Literally. We sold our home and all of our childhood belongings to move closer to Dimmi Dimmi. My wife still misses her one-of-a-kind ballet slippers… but one bite of that cracker-crust masterpiece and she’s at peace again. Chicken parm is a certified slapper. Do not skip the Italian beef carpaccio. The vodka pasta shells are a must for the table, and the gnudi tastes like a warm hug on your tongue. Bonus points: they carry Gin Mare, perfect for a proper martini. Great vibes. Great food. Great people. Ask for Ronni, our queen. 🙌🏼👸🏻

“LOVED our first time at Dimmi Dimmi.”

LOVED our first time at Dimmi Dimmi! From the ambiance, to the service and food… everything was top notch. The pizza, mozzarella sticks and clams were superb, but the vodka stuffed shells? Next level! Our server Olivia was incredible - so kind, attentive and hospitable. She truly made us feel like regulars - like we had been coming there for years. We can’t wait to come back!

“We came here to celebrate our anniversary, and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating.”

We came here to celebrate our anniversary, and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. At first, we sat in a somewhat chaotic area, but after requesting a re-seating, the hostesses were so understanding and kind. On top of that, our waitress Alee offered careful guidance with the menu and the food was delicious — we especially enjoyed the lemony caesar salad and the vodka sauce pasta (which came on the side of the eggplant parm). We will definitely be back, and thank you Dimmi Dimmi for making our night so special!

“Every detail here is so thoughtfully done.”

Every detail here is so thoughtfully done. The space is cozy and beautifully designed. I’m obsessed with the cocktails. I’m obsessed. So well made and this is the kind of place where each one comes in a different, fun glass. We ordered family-style and loved every single dish. The hand-pulled mozzarella sticks were light and airy (never thought I’d call a mozzarella stick “elegant,” but here we are). The focaccia was perfect, and the new squash salad was perfect! We also had the thin-crust pizza, an eggplant Parmesan that was more like eggplant lasagna, and a chicken Parm with a pesto-pasta twist. All fantastic. For dessert we had tiramisu, olive oil gelato, and an affogato. Way too much food but we learned that even the leftovers are incredible. Such a warm, delicious, memorable experience. Can’t wait to go back!

“The food and drinks at Dimmi Dimmi are excellent.”

The food and drinks at Dimmi Dimmi are excellent. We shared a pizza for a starter and the the salmon dish and the pasta/sausage dish for entrees. Our server Clara was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. She really deserves either a share in the restaurant or a big raise!

“​The atmosphere is amazing, complemented by excellent service and delicious food.”

​The atmosphere is amazing, complemented by excellent service and delicious food. We started with baked clams, meatballs, Italian beef carpaccio with giardiniera, and mozzarella sticks with perfect pull. We also enjoyed sausage and fungi bianco pizzas with a thin, crispy crust. The pasta dishes were outstanding too; the Gnudi Pomodoro with sheep's milk ricotta was possibly the best, and the Orecchiette Tarantino was perfectly seasoned with homemade sausage. Next time, we are coming back to try the main menu, just appetizers and shareables this time, and end with a double espresso, chocolate cake, and tiramisu. Can't wait to come back.

“My family and I had the pleasure of visiting Dimmi Dimmi last month on our first visit to Chicago.”

My family and I had the pleasure of visiting Dimmi Dimmi last month on our first visit to Chicago. It was probably one of the best dining experience I have ever had. We wanted to explore the local food scene in Chicago away from the tourist area. Chicago has many neighborhoods and Dimmi Dimmi is located in the beautiful Lincoln Park area. Super family-friendly, clean, and safe. As a foodie, the Executive Chef Matt Eckfield, trained in NYC kitchens like Carbone and he's back to open his first solo spot with CRG in Lincoln Park. We knew right away we wanted to jump on this opportunity and took the 4:30PM reservation on a Wednesday night. We got there a little early before the restaurant had opened and one of the staff came out and invited us in early so that we didn't have to be out in the windy weather. I had both my grade school children with me so as a parent, I really appreciated the kind gesture. Talking about first impression! We then got seated in a booth and was immediately blown away with the decorations in the restaurant. It had a bit of a classic Italian modern feel to it and you just immediately felt right at home! We ordered the following: Sesame Focaccia - you must order the ricotta and honey! It's only right if you have it with the ricotta and honey. Italia Beef Carpaccio - it melts in your mouth like butter. The giardiniera adds so much flavor and balance everything out. Pepperoni Pizza - deep dish style=NO, tavern style=YES! Imagine paper thin crust with top of the line cheese and pepperoni. What a treat! Salmon Vesuvio - Heaven on earth. The salmon was cooked to perfection, not to well down just perfect. The sauce balance the flavor and was so buttery. Out of this world delicious. Rigatoni Amatriciana with a side of meatball - STAR of the show. It looks so simple and plain pasta with red sauce. You're wrong! The guanciale adds so much flavor that it was hands down one of the best Italian bite/dish I have ever had in my life. Dimmi Dimmi is why Chicago is on the map of good cuisine. I'm not exaggerating. If you want good food, not in the tourist area downtown riverwalk, then run (don't walk) to Dimmi Dimmi in Lincoln Park. Cherry on top, Chef Bill Kim and Danny McGowan, both CRG leadership team came out and spoke to our family. As a family of 4, we were too full for dessert and decided to skip it. The team ended up giving us a shot of lemoncello and sorbet as a courtesy thank you for dining with us. I felt like I knew the staff and the team personally. The service was outstanding. Thank you for a wonderful experience, Dimmi Dimmi. Sending love from The Stanford Family in Atlanta. We will definitely see you again and highly recommend Dimmi Dimmi to other foodies out there.

“Dimmi Dimmi is 10s across the board.”

Dimmi Dimmi is 10s across the board. The hazelnut espresso martini was perfect - not too sweet. I am an avid mozzarella stick enthusiast and these past the test - cheese pull and flavoring was divine. They served some of the best shrimp I’ve ever had and the pizza was the perfect consistency. Our server, Madison, was wonderful and took excellent care of us. Dimmi Dimmi is a must try.
