I live near this place and yet I waited 3 years to go there. I heard a rumor that portions are small. They are not. And you get bread. So you will not leave hungry. Pasta tasted really good on its own - not because it was soaked with sauce. That really impressed me. Four of us went to dinner.... more

Had the chef's selection at the Armitage location. It seemed like we were served the menu items that were not selling that night. Our server did not honor our requests, and the food was boring and tasteless!!! The steak was horrible......very oilly and raw!!! For $126.00 per couple without wine or alcohol, (don't dorget a $3.00 per person cork fee)... more

What looks like a small neighborhood corner restaurant in Lakeview on Addison near the Brown line CTA serves some of the best traditional Italian food I have ever had.

Salad, pasta, main dish, and dessert.... more

I adore this small gem. Quickly get on the reservation list, they seem to book at least a week out for Fridays/Sat. I have always gotten the "Four Course Italian Meal' whether it was just my husband and I, or with a party of five. The sformato seems to change daily with what is fresh, but I have never been... more

There are many reasons to love Terragusto -- the name, the house-made pasta, the no corkage fee (yes, it's BYOB; just a $1 recycling fee per drinker), the locally sourced ingredients... But there are also the glorious, not-so-local (imported from Italy) olives. Enjoy the "Italian Meal," which gives each diner a starter and a pasta before sharing a main dish. more
