10/10 from experience to food. This small Italian restaurant is perfect for a Chicago winter evening. Make sure to order the pasta starter which gives you a taste of about 5 different pastas. It’s fun to do with a group or partner and compare which one everyone likes the most. It’s a great idea, so
Absolutely one of the best meals I've ever had. If it's your first time visiting, splurge and go for the chef's tasting and you'll get to try SO many different things. There are five courses: cheese, risotto, pasta, choice of meat or fish, and dessert. Each course comes with a sampling of 3-4 items!
The experience I had for each apetaizer was spectacular, I loved them all but the most explosive was that of different SPAGHETTI! Come and enjoy an exquisite plate of food!
Excellent restaurant. Food was great, service was excellent. You'll pay a little more but it's worth it.
We enjoyed a nice dinner at Pelago. Overall the food was a 3.5-4 out of 5.
We had a few dishes: the burrata (which was our favourite), the fettuccine with truffles (when I had this dish last time here about a year ago it was much better. This time it felt like the pasta was just slightly overcooked
This upscale Italian gem will delight locals and natives alike. We had been to Pelago a few times before, but only for lunch. Last night my wife and I decided to splurge a bit for Valentine's Day, and we were rewarded with a sophisticated, yet daring 5-course performance by chef Mauro Mafrici.

High end yet small, quiet and intimate. Delicious Italian fare. I had a lovely fish soup and sausage, peas, stuffed pasta in a delicious sauce. Cordial prompt service with a smile.
Recommend highly
A true 5 star Italian dining experience. The food and service were both excellent and the deserts and cheeses were equally tasty. A slightly more formal setting with nice small touches like a small chair for the ladies handbags. Would recommend it for a special occasion.
Best Italian food I have ever ate! Definitely reccomend! Chef Mauro is amazing! 🤗 ..My favorite part was dessert
My favorite restaurant in Chicago! It is a hidden gem. We have been coming here for the past few years for a lot of special events such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Everytime we come here it’s truly a memorable night. The staff is so great. The restaurant is very clean and beautiful. The food i
We had a wonderful meal here on a Thurs evening to celebrate our Anniversary. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, we were treated so well. The employees seemed to really like being there and wanted to show us a good time (which they did.) Our waiter was very friendly and happy to giv
Owner is the most popular and authentic Italian, his pasta is sublime and well cooked. One of the few left of Chicago. Go if you are in the Golden coast you would not be disappointed.
We're surprised to see some negative reviews here: I think most were towards the wait staff and the pricing. For us, the wait staff were very pleasant (the female hostesses were not the nicest, however our actual waiter was great). The best pasta dish by far was the truffle fettucine which is not on
My wife and I absolutely love the food AND the staff at Pelago. The restaurant is very intimate, cozy, and comfortable and the food is fantastic. I love fish and the preparations are delightful. My wife prefers meat and is never disappointed. We highly recommend Pelago, a gem in the heart of Chicago
