“Today (Easter Sunday) such amazing service and the food was delicious! Definitely recommend!!!”
“It's hard not to love this place on Taylor Street in Little Italy. It has a relaxed jazzy vibe. Food and service are both top-notch. Wine list features selections that are excellent and yet not over the top. Definitely one of our favorites in a city with some great and varied eateries. My companion had excellent orachietta with sausage and chicken. I had chicken piccata scallopini with fettuccine. Delicious with lemon and capers and garlic! Yum It takes a certain level of willpower to forego their luscious desserts. It's almost impossible not to demolish their mouthwatering chocolate lava cake.”
“Every dish here is amazing. My favorites are the pear salad, calamari, and tiramisu”
“El lugar muy bonito, la calidad, el sabor y variedad de los alimentos es excelente, y el servicio es excepcional!!! Y después de una deliciosa comida Italia terminar con un carajillo es 👌🏼”
“Such a GREAT experience! My wife and I were visiting Little Italy and after reading the reviews, I could see that Tuscany was the place to go. The staff were amazing and really welcoming and fun to interact. The food is absolutely incredible! I had read in the reviews to not skip desert, and so we ordered the Tiramisu and their chocolate moues cake, plus a cappuccino and latte. It was one of the best desserts my wife and I have had in a long time. While we dined indoors, we saw that the outdoor patio was really fun. Definitely coming back on our next trip to Chicago, Tuscany in Little Italy Chicago is amazing!”

“I was really excited to try this place but it was disappointing to say the least. Our waiter was rude. The food was bland and overpriced. Service: The waiter did not greet us he handed us menus and asked what we wanted. We asked for a few minutes to look at the menu. When he returned, I asked him if he recommended anything. He threw his hands up and said “like what what do you want?!?” I asked him to which he would prefer from two pastas and he pointed to one and said “that one!” When our food was out, he set the plates down and we never heard from him again until it was time for the check. Food: We ordered the veal and pasta shown in the picture. Both were bland and slightly cold. For $75 I thought I we should be able to get some flavor. For what we were served, I think I would be offered better pasta at noodles and company. The only good part of the meal was the bread basket. We didn’t even bother ordering dessert.”
“I've been coming here for over thirty years and I can honestly say, I've never had bad meal. I never I thought of writing a review for an establishment but I thought it's time I started. It's very low-key, in the sense that they're not always on social media or coming up with crazy events. They just serve very good food. They always have specials so that the menu doesn't get stale. The help (a lot of whom have been there for ages) are always just right, not to pushy, or overly hanging on, but always knowledgeable and attentive.”
“The food was delicious. The staff was pleasantly perfect and atmosphere was a social vibe that was casual and family friendly.”
“This cuisine is delicious! The food was phenomenal! Italian cuisine is the best!”
