“Dude, Kyle is the best.”

Dude, Kyle is the best. Provided us with great drink/food recommendations and thanks to the kitchen staff for doing what you do! P.s. Read the previous review about bdays not being recognized, and as a fellow hospitality worker, it's great to have it recognized, but should never be a requirement to a small business trying to do great things and make ends meet! Celebrate AND PAY, because restaurant overhead is no joke.

“I discovered Regalia on a cold winter night when I was looking for a warm, comforting meal.”

I discovered Regalia on a cold winter night when I was looking for a warm, comforting meal. I wasn’t searching for anything fancy — just a place that made me feel welcomed and at ease. From the moment I sat down, something about the atmosphere felt genuine. When I asked the server for a recommendation, he suggested the rotisserie chicken. I wasn’t someone who usually chose chicken at restaurants, but I decided to trust the suggestion — and it completely changed my mind. The chicken was incredibly juicy, perfectly seasoned, and roasted with a level of care I had never experienced before. That was the night I realized chicken could be just as satisfying as a filet mignon, which has always been my favorite cut. Since then, I’ve returned many times, and every dish has impressed me. On days when I crave something comforting, I go for their pasta dishes or risottos. The Truffle Crème Pesto has become one of my favorites — rich, aromatic, and beautifully balanced. What makes Regalia truly special is not only the food but the people behind it. The staff is warm, attentive, and consistent every single time I visit. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting the owner Dejan, and also Izzy, and I admire the way they run the place with genuine care for both their team and their guests. I also need to mention Eddie, the manager, who always brings a sense of hospitality and professionalism that elevates the entire experience. You can feel that the team works together like a family, and that energy translates directly to the way guests are treated. Regalia quickly became the restaurant I proudly bring everyone I care about — close friends, visitors from my country, anyone I want to treat to a memorable meal. The quality for the price is exceptional, and the consistency keeps me coming back without hesitation. If you’re unsure where to go, this is the place I recommend wholeheartedly. Please don’t leave without trying the rotisserie chicken — it’s unforgettable. And make sure to try the espresso martini or the pear cocktail, both house creations and absolutely delicious. Every time I go to Regalia, I discover something new — and I’m always pleasantly surprised.

“Outstanding meal from beginning to end - one of the best I’ve had in the city.”

Outstanding meal from beginning to end - one of the best I’ve had in the city. Service was fantastic. Only drawbacks were that it’s quite loud inside when it’s crowded and it’s also very dimly lit so it can be hard to see.

“Just delightful! Recently, I have visited many semi-fine dining Italian restaurants to find my date...”

Just delightful! Recently, I have visited many semi-fine dining Italian restaurants to find my date night place. And this was a wonderful surprise. When you sit, they start you with a delicious focaccia bread and a Canellini bean puré that is truly yummy! I know this is very particular of me, but I like all the restaurants I go to to offer some bread or some thing to nibble on upon seating. I’m usually hungry and it’s a nice touch to offer this as a complimentary item. In fact, for my date night, I rule out places that don’t do something like this. I have had the Cacio E Pepe several times and it is just incredible! My husband has had the lobster ravioli, the gnocchi, and the pesto. All delicious! Right now I am eating a spicy vodka sauce with fettuccine and it is pure heaven!** So far, every dish we have had has been delightful and fair priced. It’s about the same price as most of the local Italian restaurants. The cocktails are delicious and about four dollars more affordable than the other local restaurants. The atmosphere is elegant, dim, romantic, but not overstated. It is not very loud and allows for nice conversation. No criticism of the service (I edited a small critique I had made before) . It’s an elegant vibe with a casual tone. And the playlist is fire (as my son would say); new wave hits from the 80s. All in all, give it a shot! I think you will be very happy you did. **Addendum: we STILL love the food. That said, we have been going now weekly for months.. almost a year. The “Specials” have basically been the same for the whole year. Many tasty items on that specials menu but it is a little anticlimactic to ask about the specials and be told the same thing week after week. Some items should obviously just be added to the regular menu (e.g. crab cakes, lobster ravioli) and they should encourage the chef to have more fun with seasonal foods! And they should change the mushroom soup base to a veggie base (why make a vegetable soup with an animal base?). Again, we love the food! We will delete this part of the comment if they start changing it up more.

“I had a truly memorable dining experience here tonight.”

I had a truly memorable dining experience here tonight. I sat on the patio, where the setting felt calm and inviting. The lighting was soft, the breeze was perfect, and the entire atmosphere made it easy to relax and settle in. From the moment I arrived, the service stood out—gracious, attentive, and never intrusive. Every detail was handled with care. To start, I ordered the tuna carpaccio. The fish was incredibly fresh and delicately sliced, with a silky texture that practically melted on the tongue. The balance of flavors was subtle yet purposeful. A light citrus note brightened each bite, allowing the natural quality of the tuna to shine through without being masked by over-seasoning. Next, I tried the beef carpaccio. It was tender and refined, with clean flavors that showcased both skill and restraint. The garnishes added texture and contrast, enhancing rather than distracting from the dish. Both plates reflected precision and intention, the kind of cooking that speaks for itself. I also ordered an espresso martini, and it was made just right. Rich espresso flavor, smooth mouthfeel, and just the right hint of sweetness. It was balanced, bold, and easily one of the best I’ve had in the city. Everything from the food to the drinks, service, and overall ambiance felt aligned. This is the kind of place that understands hospitality and takes real pride in what they serve. I look forward to coming back soon.

“The food, the ambiance, the workers, the owner, the manager, hell even the bathroom.”

The food, the ambiance, the workers, the owner, the manager, hell even the bathroom! They deserve everything given because it was a magnificent time. They are just delightful people and fun to engage with. Specifically the food is just amazing. Most Italian restaurants put dry, unseasoned chicken on the pasta. But no, not Regalia. It was juicy, tender and packed with flavor. The focaccia bread was always magnificent

Absolutely outstanding dishes and they never disappoint. Today we had veal parmigiana, lobster ravioli, branzino, chocolate lava cake, and pistachio cake all fantastic. And service is amazing. Plus the music they play just got us all into dance spirit. Highly recommend!

This was a neighborhood staple for me when I lived in RP, and remains one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. The wagyu ragu is my absolute favorite entree. Service is impeccable, as are the food & drinks. Nothing left to be desired from Regalia. Thank you especially to Greg and Kim! <3
