DeNucci's Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Food is beyond delicious.
Our family had several dishes and all were superb. We dined on a Friday evening and close an outdoor table. Delightful. If it is possible for service to exceed the delicious food, then that is the case. From the hostess to the server to the wine steward, and especially to those who cleared the dishes upon completion, this staff is magnificent. Kudos to ownership, management, and to all the staff. What a splendid dining experience.
At here last week.
Lots of good, and not so good. I had the chicken parmesan. It was very good and prepared as I asked. But, for $28 it should include a little side of pasta, like almost every other restaurant. It didn't. A small pasta side is $8. It was just the chicken. The chopped salad was very good. A bit pricey for the size, but tasty. Charging for bread with a salad order is cheap. And, it was not freshly baked, but it was slices with oil or butter and toasted. Good but should come with a meal. The tiramisu was very average. The pasta Bolognese had a spice I did not like. Coke comes in tiny bottles so you have to order more if you want enough for your meal. The decor and outdoor area are very nice. I felt like the restaurant was trying to squeeze out every last penny and nickel and diming me to bits. Raise the price a dollar or two and include bread and a side of pasta.

I had the gluten-free pizza, which was great, and the garlic knots. Those could have been baked a little more to have that golden brown texture. The interior is very dark, and I have vision issues. It was hard to read and not have descriptions of food. I just went on Google to look up the food. Our waiter was great and took time to explain the menu.
Tagliatelle bolognese and spicy crab pasta were both so
Tagliatelle bolognese and spicy crab pasta were both so salty that we really couldn't taste much of the flavors. You can always add salt at the table, but you can't take it out. I like my salt, but it was too much. We ended up bringing the vast majority home to mix with additional sauce and pasta... Service was great. Ambiance is great.
Popular neighborhood hang-out
DiNucci’s is a year-old Italian-American addition to the Lincoln Park dining scene where the beloved Four Farthings Tavern once was. Two large high-ceilinged side-by side rooms have been completely remodeled with dark wood, brass fixtures and bold patterned wallpaper. The décor is attractive. There’s outdoor seating on 2 sides of the building (with heaters) in good weather. It’s a large, loud and bustling place. There are plenty of servers who are all constantly in motion. Service is cordial, capable and swift. The crowd, and it was a crowd, is happy and allowed to linger over their food. It’s family-friendly. You can understand the appeal of such a place. It’s the kind of place where there are shakers of grated parmesan and red pepper flakes on the table when you arrive. There’s nothing too surprising on the menu. The food is tasty and well-prepared. Pizzas, which looked great tho we didn’t order one, come in one size, 16”, and pasta portions are generous. There’s Italian wine by the glass, carafe and bottle; Italian beer and cocktails. We started with fried calamari and “Sicilian artichoke Vesuvio”. I thought the artichoke portion (5 pieces of quartered artichoke with long stems) while good in a creamy sauce garnished with fresh peas, was skimpy for $16; there was a generous amount of perfectly breaded and not at all greasy calamari with red dipping sauce and a couple halved cherry tomatoes. My companion then had tagliatelle Bolognese while I had lobster ravioli for mains. He polished off his and said it was excellent. I was less thrilled with my ravioli (7 half-moon shaped ones to the order): the dough was a bit tough while the filling of lobster shreds and other ingredients was not very flavorful but the lobster chunks on top were sweet and delicious; the creamy sauce was thick. We shared a dessert of 4 small, crisp banana-nutella cannoli. Again, tasty, tho there was no banana flavor in evidence. I guess you’d say prices are moderate, considering the neighborhood and level of service: 2 courses each plus one cocktail and one non-alcoholic drink set us back $160 with tax but before tip. They have valet parking which was a god-send; we planned to take the CTA and walk a few blocks but our bus never showed up so we were left scrambling to get there on time for our reservation. We didn’t have time to cruise around the neighborhood looking for metered street parking or off-street parking. Bottom line: it’s not refined or authentic Italian food but it’s good.
This place is great.
The food the service and the aesthetic are all great. Be sure to get a reservation for peak times.
Went here for dinner on a Saturday night with a group of 6.
We didn't have a reservation but went at about 6:00 pm to put our name in and the wait was about an hour and a half. We got seated and got drinks. The frozen Negroni was delish, although i wish it was a little more frozen. We had an assortment of items but the bolognese and chicken parm was deli
DeNucci's is a lot of razzle-dazzle and has a great buzz.
The atmosphere is sleek and contemporary. The place is packed! Reservations are not super easy to obtain (plan your visit in advance). But, you can walk in and sit at the bar (get there early before the dinner rush! ~5:45pm). Started with garlic knots- yum. Fluffy, buttery, garlicky. My only complaint? Portion size. There were 4. I wanted more! :) Had the kale salad. Perfectly balanced, great mix of textures, and pecorino. We ate every last bit of it. Spaghetti limone (imported pasta) and tagliatelle bolognese (fresh handmade pasta) were our entrees. The spaghetti limone was kinda basic but tasty and had a velvety texture. The bolognese was delicious. The dessert menu had creative spins on traditional Italian desserts, but I didn't order any. I'd be interested in returning if a friend wanted to try it.

Stumbled upon this delightful neighborhood gem on a trip to Chicago. Highly recommend. Location, staff, food (homemade pasta!), ambience were all 10/10. Will definitely return.
This was an overall disappointing experience for an Italian
This was an overall disappointing experience for an Italian dinner. I live in the area and it's always popping when I walk by so decided to stop in. We showed up pretty late (like 10 pm) on a Saturday night and still had to wait about 30 minutes. A little disappointing an surprising off the jump, but it seemed like it was a neighborhood favorite so we went ahead and waited it out Once we were seated, it took us a pretty long time to be greeted to order drinks, and then again to order our food which was pretty disappointing. Probably 10-15 minutes to get our wine after we ordered it as well. Overall, the food was meh. Bruschetta - 3/5 - flavorful and tasted very fresh. Really good overall but I think they were like 18$ for 3 little pieces which seems kinda insane looking back on it. Arrabiata Pasta - 5/5 - Ok this was the star of the show and actually really really good. very tangy, spicy, and just everything I'd want from an arrabiata. Pasta was cooked perfect al dente and like the Bruschetta, tasted very fresh. Spicy Pepperoni Pizza - 1/5 - Was a pretty disappointed on the pizza, as from the vibe of the restaurant I was expecting it be a Neapolitan style, but was actually kind of just a basic football pizza. The crust was good and it definitely had good spice, but it kind of just tasted like a frozen pepperoni pizza with some hot peppers thrown on. Over powering taste of pepperoni, could barely enjoy any other aspect of the pizza. I will say I kind of scarfed it down because I was super hungry, but my girlfriend (who normally loooves pizza) couldn't stand it. I think I saw someone else on yelp call it both an "expensive applebees" and "expensive pizza hut" I'd say it's a blend of the two. My gf asked for some ranch to dip her pizza in to make it a bit more tolerable but these MFS didn't even have ranch! Applebees could NEVER! Pretty wild to me that a pizza restaurant in the midwest in 2024 has 0 ranch dressing anywhere in sight. Our waiter also gave us a very judgmental look when we asked for it... Oh well. I will say the pizza was great to eat cold for breakfast in the morning haha. I could see how this could be a spot for like a double date or a group dinner as you can share a lot of the stuff on the menu, but I probably wouldn't go back here any time soon. There were some good dishes, and maybe we ordered wrong on the pizza, but the level of service and overall atmosphere/experience doesn't seem worth it to go back as there are dozen other Italian places in the area that I would try ahead of going back. It's also just pretty expensive for what it is - Total bill for me and my girlfriend was about $115 total for the food as well as 2 glasses of wine. Pretty pricy for 2 people but not insane, just don't know if the value was there. If you are looking for good Italian close by with AMAZING pizza, and similar price, I would recommend La Crosta Woodfire Pizza. To summarize everything in NFL terms, DeNuccis is kinda like Mitch Trubisky that one year he went to the pro bowl for the bears - he did a pretty good job (because of how hungry I was) but man, you really just don't to rely on him in the long run, and the more you think about it, the more you realize how disappointing he was ps - Wish I took pictures but phone was dead :/
A lovely local spot right in beautiful Lincoln park! My mom
A lovely local spot right in beautiful Lincoln park! My mom and I visited here after wanting to see what the hype was about. We were pleasantly greeted with a beautiful bar area that led into the cozy dining space. The restaurant was laid back and cozy like you would get from your neighborhood spot. However, the lighting created a vibe that was expensive and a great date night location. We stopped at the bar where I tried the refreshing Italian lemonade. I didn't love all of the drink options but this one definitely hit the mark for me. Sweet, slightly tart, and light! After sitting at the bar, we were taken to our table. We were seated in the back dining space which made us aware of how large the restaurant actually is. From there, we decided to order the garlic knots and instead of getting the full appetizer order of meatballs, our waiter made us aware of the option to just order the side of meatballs that came in a pair. Our appetizers came shortly after and the meatballs were delicious!! We loved the garlic knots as well but they could use an oil to dip them in as well as the marinara. After the appetizers, we decided to get pizza as our main entree. We did a half pesto and half margherita pie. I LOVE that they let you do half and half pizza. I feel like you don't see this often but it was a definitely highlight for me. They pesto and margherita came out piping hot and soooo delicious. Could not recommend more!
The restaurant was very clean and the staff was very nice.
We were lucky enough to snag a booth. The garlic knots were excellent. The grilled calamari was a bit chewy but did taste good. The sauce that goes on was very strong and slightly overpowered the actual calamari. The spaghetti limone was very lemony but again was good. The pasta is cooked al dente so if you are someone who likes their noodles cooked longer, then I would imagine they could do that for you. The pasta was homemade. The location is good and we will return but will try different items. The pizzas must be very good as I saw someone bringing out boxes upon boxes every 5 minutes.
Nice service, pretty restaurant, food is hit or miss.
Came here with a large party and our service was great. Parking is tough but there is valet. We split lots of items but a few stand outs - the fried calamari was good, garlic knots were perfect. The lobster ravioli was pretty bad. It was... sour? Way too much lemon and lobster was a bit rubbery. The cacio e Pepe was good. The cannoli was disappointing, the filling was too soft/fluffy, not thick enough. The worst offense was the pistachio ice cream which was totally tasteless. Honestly they should throw it away and take it off the menu, that shouldn't be served to people. Overall, I think there is room for improvement but I'm sure there's better Italian spots in Chicago than this.
WOW. I wish I could have back the minutes of my life I just
WOW. I wish I could have back the minutes of my life I just spent walking to pick up my takeout order, trying to eat it, and then quickly taking it out to the garbage can. The food is complete GARBAGE. I ordered the Tagliatelle Bolognese. I feel like they gave me someone's takeout return order, or else leftovers that no one else would eat (and understandably so). It was cold. The noodles were hard. They were much punier than what's advertised in their photos. And the whole thing was just flat out bad. There was nothing good about it. It tasted worse than something I'd never order from Noodles & Co. Yet it was three times the price. For garbage. The takeout staff were more concerned about carrying on conversation amongst themselves than waiting on patrons. Not the ambiance or experience I was expecting. What a huge disappointment. AVOID THIS PLACE!!
Fantastic place, top to bottom, start to finish.
This restaurant group really knows what they're doing, the details from the interior design to the furniture and decor is beautiful. More importantly, the FOOD and the SERVICE. Top notch. Excellent, every aspect, with a staff that is attentive but never overbearing, everyone is friendly and helpful. A really wonderful experience!

Great Italian dishes, warm atmosphere, and wonderful
Great Italian dishes, warm atmosphere, and wonderful service! Logan A was a great server. He suggested the pistachio gelato and chopped salad and both were fantastic. My girlfriend doesn't even like pistachio but she loved the gelato.
On point for pasta in Chicago
We love high-end Italian food in Chicago. DeNuccis did not disappoint us. Everything we had was perfectly done. The appetizers, minestrone and little gem Caesar salad, were wonderful--the salad was chilled with crisp lettuce, with a delicious anchovy-tinged dressing. The minestrone was made with a very good beef broth and I loved it. For entrees, we had the spaghetti alla vongole--the spaghetti was al dente and perfect--and also a chicken cutlet, which was in a marsala sauce. Again--outstanding. The service and cocktails were also top notch.. It is hard to get a table here, but we will come again.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
