Mario C is THE BEST waiter! Gave great suggestions that were spot on for Prosecco...2 different bottles and each was a perfect companion to our lunches. Also, good beer selection and cocktail. We had artichoke and sunchoke and meatball for shared appetizers, followed by each of us with a different pasta: caico buccatini, bolognese, gnocchi and spaghetti and one stuffed cabbage...all delicious! For dessert...chocolate sorbet, coconut cookie, almond Gelato and expresso martini.A delightful afternoon...not rushed...great food and beverages!Ask to be seated in Mario C's station!

We finally got a Monteverde reservation after trying for about 6 months, and it was well worth the wait! Our waiter Mario was exceptional, very knowledgeable and friendly, while giving us great recommendations and attention! My partner and I had the arancini, Oma’s salad, Shrimp Linguini, and Caccio, with tiramisu for dessert! Wonderful atmosphere, excellent food, and lovely service!

My wife and I drove in from MKE to visit relatives for the weekend and they started our weekend off with an afternoon lunch at Monteverde. It was an experience worth the month and a half wait for our reservation date. The food is delicious, the flavors bold but not overpowering. It seemed the restaurant gave off its own energy. Everyone seemed pleased to be there as I observed including Victor, our server. He was more an advisor than anything guiding us through great choice after great choice of sharable plates without being intrusive. We will be back.

Honestly it was just okay. Small menu so very limited choices. The pastas very average nothing special. The service and food coming out was very slow and the food was not coursed out properly kind of ruined the experience. The saving grace was the Budino and the Tiramisu. The bartender making the worst old fashion ever should have been a warning sign.

Best Italian in Chicago! Perfect food everytime. Great service and nice wine list. Prosciutto butter!
My mom was gracious enough to stay up until 1am est to snag us a reservation on Valentine’s Day, and boy am I glad she did! It was a very charming and cozy restaurant. We enjoyed being able to see the pasta being made by hand by the bar. The food was absolutely delicious! We did family style servings and enjoyed their BISTECCA ALL A FIORENTINA, HAND - CUT TAGLIATELLE, and the CACIO WHEY PEPE. All of these were absolutely amazing, but the fiorentina really blew us away. By far the best steak any of us had ever had. It is worth the wait and effort to get a reservation! I hope to be able to stop in again next time I visit Chicago.

I’ll keep it 5/5 but in all honesty it’d be a 4/5. I don’t want to lower their rating, but I’ll share my only complain.We got 3 appetizers, and 2 entrees. The bill was $150 for two people, and we still felt a bit hungry after we left.The food was great, but one raviolli for $28? I expected a larger dish.The sizes are not ideal, especially considering how cheap fresh pasta can be. I understand the skewers being small, wagyu is not cheap. But a raviolli? Come on guys.

The food is a fantastic. Killer. Things that are hard to make like running egg yolks in pasta are perfect every time. So on and so forth. Just delicious.

One of the best dining experience I've had in Chicago. The ambiance was great, the service was great, and all of the food was delicious. Three of us went for restaurant week so we got to try the whole menu and I'd order all 10 dishes again. My favorite was the hand cut tagliatelle.
We loved every dish.
