Nella Pizza e Pasta

“Our favorite Hyde Park spot.”

Our favorite Hyde Park spot! Love everything we’ve had from the dinner menu. Today we stopped in for brunch and had pizzas. Delish. The service is great, and who doesn’t need a yellow vespa on the wall? Che figato!

“We had a top notch dinner at Nella Pizza e Pasta.”

We had a top notch dinner at Nella Pizza e Pasta! The pizza is straight out of Italy! Michelin star rated, brick oven pizza and amazing pastas! And you get to watch the pizza masters at work! Love the concept behind the mirror! Pizza Vesuvio was so unique! We got an actual mount Vesuvius - but in edible form! The pasta/gnocchi was also 10/10, and not to mention the lava cake! This place is a must try and (come back to)!

“The seafood pasta was served inside a swan shaped foil wrap.”

The seafood pasta was served inside a swan shaped foil wrap. The mussels, shrimps, calamari, clams, and pasta were cooked so perfectly. I couldn't get enough of it; I used the bread to absorb the sauce lingering on the bottom of the foil.

“I understand how this place was Michelin rated back in 2023.”

I understand how this place was Michelin rated back in 2023. This place makes some of the best Neapolitan style pizza in the Chicago area. Cooked in a special domed oven, the charred crust is chewy and soft. Ordered their cavani pizza which had the salty speck with creamy mozzarella and other flavorful meat toppings. The slices were a wonderful start of the meal. But their classic lobster risotto was magnificent. Prepared in a rich and creamy cognac sauce and perfectly cooked lobster, an excellent entree!!! Michelin worthy!! The staff was very helpful and pleasant.

“Breathtaking Italian restaraunt that blew my expectations.”

Breathtaking Italian restaraunt that blew my expectations. First, the service was top notch, never forgetting to refill our water glasses three times, and being available always. There was a lot to choose from but i chose the the sarrachino with mussels and black truffle, ans was incredibly rich, perfect amount of salt, a very nice savory sauce that paired very well with the mussels, which were perfectly done. The only downside was that i couldnt really taste the black truffleI, it was too subtle for me. I also wish the portion size was larger because it was absolutely delicious, which made up for the hefty $32 price tag. The meat pizza was very thin, crispy, succulent, and the meat was very tender. Overall a fancy dinner, though very expensive, but the quality makes up for the price. Also the wait time is super short!! No more than 10 minutes! As a result dinner was short but a meaningful experience on the uchicago campus, so definitely will want to come again

Great service! Ate with my dog on the patio. Great atmosphere, but know that the fire department is nearby so sitting outside can get loud. Food is a bit pricey but seafood was good quality. The squid in the seafood dish was amazing! Panna cotta was okay. I’m more into bourbon than beer, but I really enjoyed the amberata.
