Nora — dependable italian in Streeterville. The design gives it a sharp first impression. The drinks match the food in quality. "The branzino was fresh, flavorful" — Anne Chiao

“My wife and I were staying across the street at another hotel and we went to Nora’s for an evening glass of wine, which turned into me having their Baklava and my wife having their Seada which are both amazing deserts”
Visited during Chicago Restaurant Week ($60/person) and was disappointed.
Fairly disappointed with the restaurant since it looks pretty nice.

Tonight We had a Great selection of 4 course menu for restaurant week this evening at Nora for $60, Chef Daniele selection of food is well done The menu originally from Sardinia, perfectly combines authentic Italian flavors with Sardinian touches. simply amazing — and I would say from appetizers to pasta and main course all dishes were cooked to perfection, and we very much appreciate the hospitality and greeting from manager Nikolas as well 😇🙏 So over all Great atmosphere and excellent service. Definitely deserves 5 stars!, will be back again soon

“Nora is an absolute gem.”
Nora is an absolute gem! Every dish was bursting with flavor - Italian with a delightful Mediterranean twist. We started with the calamari, hummus, burrata, and charcuterie board, all perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. The goat cheese salad and Caesar salad were both mouth watering. The branzino was fresh, flavorful, and flaky, the short rib agnolotti rich and comforting, and the chicken dish was incredible. And don’t even get me started on dessert! The baklava with pistachio ice gelato, cannoli, and tiramisu were all heavenly. Every bite was perfection. Best to come with a group and get family style so you can try a bit of everything. Don’t miss out on this spot it’s a true culinary treasure! I was so busy enjoying I only got a picture of the dessert spread, but I will sure be back!

“As an Italian living in the U.S., I can say this place is truly special.”
As an Italian living in the U.S., I can say this place is truly special. The food is outstanding, made with top-quality ingredients, many imported directly from Italy. Chef Daniele, originally from Sardinia, perfectly combines authentic Italian flavors with Sardinian touches. The octopus was tender inside and crispy outside — simply amazing — and the suckling pig was cooked to perfection, soft and full of flavor. Great atmosphere and excellent service. Definitely deserves 5 stars!

“Loved the octopus as an appetizer to share (too much for one person).”
Loved the octopus as an appetizer to share (too much for one person)! The bread with olive paste was amazing. The waiters were very friendly and caring.

“Amazing experience.”
Amazing experience! The octopus appetizer was perfectly cooked, and the mushroom risotto with a glass of white wine was outstanding. Great service, excellent food, and very fair prices. Highly recommended in Chicago!

“Everything tasted fantastic and was presented beautifully.”
Everything tasted fantastic and was presented beautifully. Staff was very attentive friendly and on spot. I wil definitely be back here to explore the menu. Had oysters and Caesar salad Out door seating was perfect for people watching but private enough to eat in peace safely

“We had a wonderful date night in the Windy City.”
We had a wonderful date night in the Windy City! The food selections were regionally influenced by the Mediterranean and spanned across the flavor pallette. We enjoyed a unique appetizer and inspiring main courses. We left with happy tummies and satisfied taste buds. We look forward to another visit.

“The best service hands down.”
The best service hands down! My wife and I were staying across the street at another hotel and we went to Nora’s for an evening glass of wine, which turned into me having their Baklava and my wife having their Seada which are both amazing deserts. The service at Nora’s was especially on par with the entire staff really showing that they care about their patrons. Also I forgot to mention after having desert we ordered two of their Americano coffees which were delicious. We crossed the street to visit Nora’s twice while we were here in Chicago visiting and will definitely be back when we come back to the Chi again. Thanks Nora for the hospitality!
