David Deutsch · 157 Google reviewsNuovo Chicago — high-caliber italian in Lincolnwood. Worth ordering a drink, because the bar holds its own. Friendly team that sets the tone. "The tagliatelle mushroom is the best pasta dish I have ever tasted" — Menachem Lehrfield [patio]

“I have been wanting to try their Beer Battered Fish & Chips! Lives up well to the hype I created in my head! First off, besides being well presented, the portion size was generous to say the least. I’m not sure I’ve ever been given that much fish with my fish and chips. Thankfully through a combination of delicious flavor and lack of self control, I ate them all! The restaurants was very beautiful and well priced for an upscale dairy restaurant. The service was terrific as has always been my experience in the Chicago area. Once again, will need to come back ten more times to try everything on the menu I saw that I am interested in!”
“If you're looking for a spot that feels like a cozy, warm hug for your tastebuds, look no further than Nuovo Chicago! French Onion Soup - it was cheesy, comforting, and tasted like a snowy day spent indoors! And the Chicken Caesar Wrap? Perfectly crisp, packed with flavor, and totally satisfying. The staff is so genuinely friendly, they make you feel like family! It's the perfect cute little getaway for a date night or a heartwarming meal with friends. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Wow! It feels like Michelin restaurant! with precise and surgical culinary food. Every plate is well meditated.”
“Amazing customer service, Great atmosphere, good vibes, delicious food!!”
“I recently dined at Nuovo, and it was a great experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and friendly, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. What stood out the most was how genuinely kind and attentive the staff were—everyone made sure I had what I needed without being overbearing. Their hospitality felt natural and made the meal all the more enjoyable. The food was delicious, well-prepared, and full of flavor. I also appreciated that they gladly accommodated a special request, without hesitation or showing that's even slightly annoying. With great food and a warm, friendly staff, Nuovo is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be back for another meal if I'm in the area again. The kids menu is very creative and even has some activities for the kids and they do get crayons! Highly recommend.”
“We went to Nuevo for a party. It was SUPPOSED to be all you can eat pizza/soda. They make teeny pizzas, make you wait in line with a tiny plate, and fill the drinks with ice. In a 2 hour window it is impossible to get more than 2-3 small pieces of pizza. They also had pieces of STALE bread on the table. Would I recommend this place, absolutely not. The pizza would have been okay if you could eat it HOT rather than stand in line.”
“Go enjoy delicious food, positive Happy vibes.. staff accommodates the guests You leave wanting to return!!”
“This restaurant is, to say the least, amazing. From the moment you walk in, everything is exceptional, the service, the quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the attention to detail. The presentation of each dish is absolutely beautiful, and every bite reflects the care and authenticity that goes into the cooking. If you're looking for authentic kosher Italian cuisine, this is the place to go. It's hands down the best kosher restaurant I've ever eaten at. This restaurant truly deserves all the love and hype it receives. The chef and the entire staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely make you feel at home. Their hospitality is just as memorable as the food. I can't recommend this place enough, and I will definitely be back!”
“The food was incredible and the service even more. Demetrius our waiter went above and beyond to give us a memorable evening.”
