Osteria del Pastaio

Went here for lunch with an out of town relative. Place was quiet and cozy, and our table had a great view. Food was excellent and our waiter was super friendly and warm. Will definitely be back if I'm down near mag mile again!

My husband and I stayed across the street at the Tremont and luckily decided to dine here. Our server was so friendly and guided us through the specials menu with some recommendations. The shrimp and avocado appetizer we shared was delicious and the main courses did not disappoint. My husband enjoyed various crafted cocktails and I had the house rosé special as we dined and enjoyed the sun on their outside patio for hours not feeling rushed in the slightest. Would definitely come again!!

My new favorite Chicago restaurant. Amazing calamari - delicately breaded and excellent flavor. The shrimp avocado appetizer rivals my favorite lobster salad. The service was out of this world.

Loved our visit here. My girlfriend and I had a lovely early dinner and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our server Julia was lovely and the food was very good. Loved the olive spread with bread to start. Followed by tomato soup and shrimp with avocado salad. Our Entrees were the branzino which was delicious as the linguine with clams was quite good. Will return.

The food was quite good with the portions on small side. I didn’t get pictures of the entire meal. The one I am posting is of the hearts of palm salad. I found it to be delightful. It was a simple salad of chopped hearts of palm, avocado and asparagus in a vinaigrette with a hint of truffle oil. It was followed by spaghetti with seafood which was good. Some of the seafood was a touch over-cooked. Lastly, we had dessert which was our least favorite course. The service was great. I’d probably go back.
