Google says they work until 9 PM. Arrived 3 hours before closing. The door was open. There were 3 people inside, including the person at the bar. They looked at us like aliens landed in their restaurant.I asked whether they are open or closed. The person behind the bar thought about it, and then informed happily that they are closed.This was the worst experience in Chicago so far.

Would not recommend coming to this joint. Bar staff is very rude and unaccommodating. Had a very unfortunate mishap where bartender made racist judgements prior to helping guests. When asking if there was a policy violation or if we could speak to a manager.He insisted he was the manager and said he made a decision based on a judgement call of my friend. This was so infuriating. Will not be returning. Highly recommend others do not as well.

We stopped in for an espresso which was delicious. The service was wonderful. Shoutout to Ricky who was very personable, easy to talk to, and took great care of us. We walked out with some desserts and we will definitely be back for more!

Hear me out.. this is the best after dinner spot. I admittedly haven't eaten the hot food here (and I hear it's great), but oh my god the martinis and cookies are out of this world. I've stumbled in here twice after a dinner at La Scarola for a delicious espresso or chocolate martini with a side of the most well done Italian cookies I've ever had. The staff here are also so welcoming and personable.

This place is awesome! Cozy, with great smells because they have a full bakery running. The staff is super friendly. Pastries, Italian food, burgers, subs, and some Mexican options; this place really has everything, and they have a bar too! Order it all.

Stopped in for my first time this morning and had the Cornetto (bacon, egg and cheese) and a latte. Both were great! The cornetto was large, filling and delicious…just wish it was a little warmer. It’s a cozy spot filled with pastries and gelato. The service was welcoming and personable. Great new find! I’ll be back. Also, they have gluten free options.

Yash was amazing, very friendly with the best service and best cappuccino in town! Will be back again
First time at Dolci Amari and I can't believe I've never been here before. I'm a cafe/restaurant fanatic because it gives me the option to get coffee and actual food. Although I didn't get a chance to order any food, I caught a glimpse of their menu items as well as their pastry options and was blown away. I did get to order their cappuccino and that was delightfully delicious. Staff is efficient and the cafe itself is beautiful inside.

Not just a bakery/coffee shop!! Such a cute ambiance and while their pastries and coffee are fantastic, would also highly recommend their cocktails. Great spot to stop in to if you’re nearby!

Such a cute little Italian cafe in the area. We stopped for coffees and sweets after lunch. It was easy enough - plenty of seating at the bar. The barista served our coffees quickly and gave us a few cookies on the side. The sweets were the perfect accompaniment to our coffee - not too sweet but so delicious. Highly recommend to stop for coffee, drink, or dessert. We were full from lunch, but will be sure to stop by again to try out more on the menu.
