Disotto Enoteca - Chicago

Really good Italian food, great service and fantastic ambiance

Great food but service can be improved significantly to meet the level of the kitchen. Nice setting and atmosphere.

Outstanding service and delicious food. Definitely going back.

My girlfriend and I came here on a Saturday at 8PM and were sat right away. They do not take reservations. The Atmosphere and Ambiance: This is one of the best places you can go for a romantic, intimate dinner. The place is not overly large which meansyou won't have a ton of noise generated from the amount of people in the restaurant. There are no windows since the restaurantis underground but it does not feel claustrophobic at all. The entire place has a wine cellar theme and is lined from floor toceiling in antique looking brick. Once downstairs you can sit yourself anywhere you would like and a waiter will be by as soonas you sit down. The Food: One thing to note Disotto Enoteca does have their own, smaller, separate menu but you can ask forthe larger, upstairs menu and they will happily provide it, which is what we did. We ordered the bruschetta (pictured), achicken, prosciutto, and mushroom entree (best mushroom sauce I've had), and their red sauce based rigatoni; they were allabsolutely incredible! The portion sizes are very filling and the staff is very knowledgeable about their menu and are happy tomake recommendations as well as wine pairings for any dish you order. The Service: The waiter made our already amazingevening, spectacular. He was always happy to make a recommendation and was very attentive to our needs, requests, and refills.It's not often that we leave a restaurant talking more about how great the waiter/service was than the restaurant. Overall: Wewill absolutely be planning another dinner date night out to this restaurant as it was one of the most pleasant and memorabledinners that we have had in a long time.

Lovely hidden gem tucked away in downtown Chicago!
