La Storia, Italian Restaurant 1154 North Dearborn Street, Chicago, IL 60610

"For the cost, this ends up being considerably underwhelming. Food came out cold. Ahi tuna like rubber. I could taste the cook’s disdain for their job in just about every part of the meal. It was fine, but not good. Won’t be trying there again."

"Some of the most authentic Italian I’ve had in Chicago. The service was a little slow but our server was super knowledgable and recommended his personal favourites. We started with the Burrata and Torta di Granchio (crab cakes) which were both delicious, could get enough of the red pepper and basil aioli. We both decided on the Rigatoni with the lamb ragu which was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. I’ve been to Italy many time over the years and can recognise an authentically made pasta pretty well and the pasta at La Storia ticked all my boxes. For dessert we both had the tiramisu and they don’t mess you around with portion sizes. I hate when you get a tiny little cube but here you get a brick of tiramisu which I welcome with open harms and a full stomach. Will 100% be back this spring to enjoy the Chicago sun and more delicious food at La Storia."

"A great place to hang out with friends and family. They have a dim lit super looking ambience ideal for someone wanting to spend quality time. There is a bar, all in all very unique to itself. You are greeted by polite and friendly people who get into meaningful conversations with you. They have some excellent spirits and great Italian food."

"*Update to 07/23- this restaurant maintains a great experience and food. We had orecchiette allá pugliese, just divine! As always great service, we love the waiter, he is always so nice. Environment is excellent. Truly Italian experience all the way around. We sat in the back patio. **Great experience! We have been here twice, dinner and brunch. Decent prices and good food. Very distinct from other Italian restaurants. Dinner was amazing service was very good. Brunch menu is great. We asked for prosciutto side which wasn’t on the menu and we got it. So, you can always ask. Flavors are so fresh and natural. Nice to have different type of vegetables than the usual, natural bursting flavors. Thank you chef! Service and environment is great. We were very satisfied. Will definitely go back."
