Oggi Trattoria
Annette Nieves Photography · 124 Google reviewsOggi Trattoria — one of West Town's strongest italian spots. Old-school in the best sense, with zero pretense. The cocktail list is worth exploring, and owner-operated. Michelle Lopez: "Plus, the espresso martini was one of the best I’ve ever had" [$$]

“The food was phenomenal, excellent customer service. First time coming here and I will be definitely returning back. 10/10”
“came in for the restaurant week lunch menu and was blown away. everything was DELICIOUS - pasta made in house, perfectly al dente, a little chewy, omg so good. flourless chocolate cake was decadent and rich - the perfect end to my meal. the staff/owner was so friendly, so kind, and so personable. while i was eating, someone else came in and he and the owner chatted for a long time - maybe it’s just me but it’s so nice to see real relationships in restaurants, it makes it feel more like a community space where people actually KNOW each other - sure enough, this restaurant has been in the family for 40 years. def recommend - food, atmosphere, vibe was all stellar”
“Very great restaurant food was delicious and the family run restaurant have me wanting me to go back tomorrow and our grandchildren and niece enjoyed the food as well. My sister go to restaurant”
“This is not your typical Italian restaurant, this is cooking art. Food for the families soul. Issac and staff are very welcoming and the service is out of this world. Amazing place, and even better pallet excursion.”
“I've eaten chicken Parm all over America and in a few other countries and this honestly is one of the best I've ever had. If you are in Chicago swing by and give this a shot. It was so good I was even licking the plate”
“Oggi has my all-time favorite chicken marsala. Solid Italian-American food all around - all of their pasta (other than GF) are made in house. Rolls are notorious and for good reason. Prices are on the steeper side but everything is made with love”
“1st Time Ordering Here & Won't Be My Last! I did doordash delivery and was not disappointed! Everything was fresh & Delicious! Great Job! The Rolls Are Amazing!”
“We went here for Valentine’s Day and it was great! They had a squid ink pasta as part of their Valentine’s Day menu. I really liked the pasta! It had a nice bouncy texture and the scallops were cooked perfectly. The margarita pizza was okay. Not the best I’ve had. My only other complaint was the service was a bit slow. Overall, it’s a nice local spot to check out!”
“I had a very enjoyable visit to Oggi Trattoria. I tried the Caesar salad and the Pasta alla Vodka — the pasta featured salami (though I did not really taste it) in a creamy tomato and vodka sauce and was flavorful and satisfying. For dessert, the key lime pie was a refreshing finish to the meal. The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant. I visited shortly after they opened, so it was calm and quiet, which made for a relaxing dining experience. Overall, a solid choice with good food, nice service, and a comfortable setting — definitely worth a visit.”
“my friend and i came for restaurant week 2025! i ordered the burrata, vodka pasta (with no salami) and the key lime cake. i loved their bread, it is definitely homemade! the pasta was a bit undercooked and they put meat in it when i asked if they could take it out. they didn’t really apologize for it either. lastly, the key lime cake was also very tasty and fresh!”
