The must dish to try is their Fired Calamary, mamma mia outstanding, the Seafood Grigliata was an absolute masterpiece, perfectly grilled and bursting with fresh, briny flavor that had me savoring every bite

Macello — among the best italian in Fulton Market. Everything about the room says stay awhile. Cocktails here aren't an afterthought. [$$, patio]

☀️Patio — a Fulton Market classic in summer.

The servers were very friendly. It’s a great place to hang out with friends, and they have a wide variety of drinks on the menu. I’ll definitely come back again!

Dropped in for a quick bite and prosecco. This place is so charming and the bartender John was very welcoming, attentive, and friendly. The pizza was delicious and the olives were the largest I've ever eaten! They were tasty too. I'll be back and recommend to all!

My short rib ravioli was amazing. I really enjoyed the orecchiette.

Highly underrated spot. Happy hour menu is as good as you’ll get it (outside of Italy)! Love the pizza macello & Trofiette Crudaiola. Lots of dishes you won’t find elsewhere in the area.

Really good food. A buddy from out of town put me onto it and it didn’t disappoint. Service was great too. I’d take this over most of the touristy spots around here any day.

Years ago we went to Puglia and when we heard about this restaurant we had to go, and it did not disappoint. The food was great, friendly staff and the ambiance was relaxing. Will definitely come back, especially during the summer when their patio is open.

Very authentic food from the Puglia region of Italy. The wine, the food and the service made for a very pleasant visit to this close to the United Center restaurant.

Sat at the bar and had a great experience. Did the truffle pasta and roast chicken. Great atmosphere and Christian at the bar was a pro. We will be back.
