One of my few 5 star ratings.

5/5 by πŸ‘» @Frank T. on 07/25/2024

Five of us came here for lunch. Our reservation got us a table in front of the pasta TV. We got to watch them make the fresh pastas. It was amazing how thin they rolled out the pasta sheets. We were all in awe. The service was immediate, Johnny served us and was so attentive. explained everything. We shared everything so got to try so many options that just 2 of us would have had to give up some items. We ordered drinks and ordered the smoked fish and waffle fries. A huge portion size. Then go the Texas red fish la plancha. OMG it was fabulous. and a bit spicy but not overdone. The portion size was large enough for us to get a good taste. We then had the burrata that we saw on "Somebody Feed Phil". It was sooo good. We had the prosciutto butter. The burrata was so creamy. Normal portions was 4 they added a fifth so we could all have a tigelle. They were hot fresh out of the oven. Comes with the rhubarb jam. we all fawned over it. Then came the tortelle and the angiolotti. We watched them make it fresh. They were so good. Never had anything like it before. We asked for bread so we could sop up the sauces and clean all the platters. It came with a sweet butter. Dessert was a tiramisu. Such a huge order. We had two bottles of the Multipuciano.

5/5 by πŸ‘» @Nina W. on 07/22/2024

We made a reservation on Resy, and I highly recommend a reservation because the place was packed for dinner on a Tuesday afternoon. I ordered: -Half order of Burrata E Ham -Half order of Arancini -Gnochetti con Pesto -Sundae I love that you can do half orders of the two appetizers I mentioned! It came with 2 pieces instead of 4, which is perfect for a party of two. The burrata is extremely popular and it was so good ... sweet and salty. Highly recommend. The arancini was good, but I didn't think it was anything special. They also gave us some complimentary chilled tomato soup and soup shooters (I forget the name) since we were there celebrating our anniversary. It was excellent. The gnocchi pesto was also amazing, the pasta is light and unique. Flavor is good... highly recommend. I only thing I would skip is probably the sundae. It was ordinary and wasn't worth the price. I saw a couple people order the tiramisu though.

We got a table inside near the area where they make the pasta and you can watch them through a big mirror which is really cool. The service was perfect with people refilling our drinks and making sure we were good. The food was also incredible. It was not a cheap dinner but it was well worth it the money. They also gave my wife a piece of cake for free to celebrate her birthday. I can't wait to come back someday.

5/5 by πŸ‘» @Dan R. on 07/18/2024

I've never eaten a scallop dish and then thought, "the scallops were unnecessary." Sure, the scallops were large and perfectly cooked, but the rest of the dish was not taking a back seat. There is a cheffy focus on each thing that makes it onto the plate. One of the best restaurants I've ever experienced, there is a small number of tables which helps to explain their ability to control quality. Excellent staff, beautiful yet comfortable interiors, great wine selections. We sat near the door and watched many unknowing travelers turned away due to the capacity and exclusivity of the reservations. But it doesn't feel pretentious. An ideal special occasion new-Italian restaurant. I vastly prefer this style of dining over certain 3-star more expensive options.

Fantastic food and service. I had the Texas Redfish with tahini, zucchini, fruit and chili crisp, which was exceptionally delicious. The pappardelle with lamb sugo was also superb, as was the tiramisu for dessert. The only drawbacks were that it was too loud to have a real conversation, and the atmosphere felt frenetic – hard to relax and enjoy. It was also very difficult to get reservations, but if you sign up for the waitlist on Resy, you will get frequent notifications about tables opening up.

Monteverde is an acclaimed Italian restaurant from Top Chef

5/5 by πŸ‘» @Joseph M. on 03/21/2024

Monteverde is an acclaimed Italian restaurant from Top Chef season 9 runner up and James Beard award winner Sarah Grueneberg. Any foodie from Chicago is more than aware of this West Loop hot spot and it is definitely near the top of their "must eat at" list. However, the acclaim and popularity of this place makes it one of the harder reservations to snag in Chicago. While you can likely book something for lunch, dinner reservations are nearly impossible to come by. So, when a buddy of mine surprised me with one, I was absolutely ecstatic! I have heard that Monteverde is the best restaurant in the West Loop and given that its neighboring restaurants are heavy hitters of the Chicago food scene, I can definitely see why after dining here. The restaurant is spacious and has an upscale vibe without coming off as pretentious. All the pasta is cooked to order and you can actually see it being made from the reflection of an overhead mirror right above their pasta making station. It's a really nice touch that I've yet to see in other restaurants. There's a large mirror in the dining room that's unnoticeable at first. It's tricks you into thinking the restaurant is bigger than it is, but it adds depth to the dining area. It's actually quite clever. The first dish to come out was the nduja arancini. It was served over a delicious sauce which complimented the zest of the nduja. Very solid snack to start off the meal. The wagyu beef skewer was cooked to perfection and very tasty, but I imagine certain diners might not appreciate the portion size. I'm a quality over quantity guy, so I had no issues with it whatsoever. Our first shared plate was the burrata e ham with prosciutto butter, which is arguably their signature dish. Every food critic or influencer raves about it and with good reason. It was absolutely delicious and I honestly wish I could've kept the whole thing to myself. This is a must order. Next we were served the gnochetti con pesto and cacio whey pepe. Two pasta dishes I have never had before. They were fantastic and left me wanting to order another pasta off the menu. The rest of my party were starting to get full and decided to tap out. Since I knew that I might not get the opportunity to dine here anytime soon, I insisted we try at least one dessert. Everyone on Yelp and Instagram seems to love the tiramisu, so that seemed like the most logical choice. My buddy also said the forgotten cookie is also worth trying so we ordered one of those, as well. The cookie is made up of meringue, dark chocolate, and topped with toasted coconut. It's very light and airy, which is not what comes to mind when you think of a cookie, but it was awesome. The size of the tiramisu is generous and incredibly photogenic. I have actually not eaten that much tiramisu throughout the years, but this was by far the best I have had. The perfect way to cap off a meal of this caliber. This dinner was beyond satisfying and I am just itching to come back here, because this place definitely lives up to the hype. But like I mentioned before, it is very difficult to secure a dinner reservation here. God forbid this spot is featured on the newest season of The Bear. If you've been wanting to try this place out, then I implore you to keep your eye on Resy for anything that's available. Set a notification for any cancelled reservations if you have to. Or just book something for lunch because Monteverde is the real deal.

Monteverde is the one restaurant I was dying to try on our Chicago trip... it did not disappoint! We absolutely loved everything we ordered. Our group of four were not super hungry-- we filled up sharing the Artichoke & Sunchoke Cristiano (small but delicious), the CACIO WHEY PEPE (thick sauce and noodles- chef's kiss), Spaghetti Al Pomodoro (add a meatball, you won't regret it), and, the STAR OF THE SHOW: the GNOCCHETTI CON PESTO. The pesto is light, fresh, perfect in every way.

Made a same day reservation on a Wednesday afternoon and got seated immediately when my gf and I flew in. They have a check in for your luggages which was nice to have while we were waiting for our hotel room to be ready. It was still crowded but not super loud where you need to yell across the table to have a conversation. Our waitress, Racquel, was so fast and attentive as well as everyone else putting away empty dishes or refilling your water cups. The food was so good and oh my lord that birthday cake was even better. They really put their hard work into making their pasta (which you can see if you're sitting at the bar area) and it shows. Love this place! Glad I saw it after watching an episode on Feeding Phil. AND they have a lot of vegetarian options which was a plus. Although you should be mindful that you're going to pay a pretty penny and the portions will not be big because this place is on the Michelin guide and I think won a James Beard award.

It took me awhile to get into this place and I wasn't sure how I'd like the menu as nothing really grabbed me when I looked online. However once I tried it, I was hooked. Everything here is absolutely 5 stars. The chef puts together unexpected tastes and combinations that blow your mind, they use quality ingredients and have excellent service. It's tough to get a reservation so we'll go early or late and sit at the bar- which is one of my favorite things to do now.

5/5 by πŸ‘» @Donald D. on 02/25/2024

My wife and I went to an Italian restaurant last night and shared a green salad, cheese ravioli and spaghetti with tomato sauce. But the restaurant was Monteverde and the three dishes--Oma's salad, egg yolk raviolo and spaghetti al pomodoro--were all fabulous. Flavors popped. The cheese in the ravioli was exquisitely creamy. The salad dressing was perfect. I've lived in Chicago for nearly 40 years and can't remember a better meal in the city. I tried to think of when I'd eaten food of this quality and could only come up with two meals at Michelin-starred restaurants in France. Monteverde is that good. The ambience is very nice, contemporary but not pretentious. Our server Brett was informative and friendly. The place was packed and a bit noisy, but my wife and I (both in our 70s) were able to converse (mainly about how we were loving every bite.) The two wines we had were both very good. It's pricey, and getting a reservation requires almost military precision, but, if you can afford it, it's well worth it. Monteverde's kitchen is world class.

GNOCCHETTI CON PESTO were not gnocchetti at all. It's factory pasta little tiny shells. I have been making gnocchi (made with potatoes) and gnocchetti (little potato gnocchi) for over 60 years and at $27 it should have been real little gnocchi. It is fraud call them gnocchi when its only flour pasta. I questioned the server, and she only laughed. and tried to convince me they are gnocchetti. They are not. It would be like a 5 star chef from New York City who is from a fisherman family and orders salmon and they serve him a tilapia and they claim its salmon and even try to contradict the customer. It is embarrassing they would pull a fast one to Chicago land customers.

The BEST dining experience of 2023!

5/5 by πŸ‘» @Travel58071524202 on 12/05/2023

Our evening started with complications and a reservation that had been misdirected, yet despite a full house, the managers (front of house, Jami; restaurant, Justin) took up the work of puzzling, rearranging, and problem-solving so impressively that within minutes a way had been been possible, and we we seated in time to enjoy our meal and still make it to our show for curtain up. All that BEFORE the incredible meal began! My friend ordered GNOCCHETTI CON PESTO, and I had the WHITE TRUFFLE TAJARIN. I know I will fall short of believability when I say that even after upscale dining around the world this year, the meal I had at Monteverde was the best dining for me in 2023 (well, maybe with the single exception of the chef's table at Alinea, but that is pretty elevated company). The tastes -- the fresh, delightful, and heavenly tastes!! Words are failing me. Just go! but be sure to made reservations well in advance. And, I note only one other aspect so much worth the mention -- the negroni was to die for! Thank you, Jordan! And thank you, Justin, Jami, and Joe for making the evening possible as well as magical.

Snagging a reservation even on a Wednesday night can be

5/5 by πŸ‘» @Sharon N. on 03/08/2023

Snagging a reservation even on a Wednesday night can be tough at Monteverde. Secret tip: They take walk ins! I went by myself, and even though the place was jam packed by 6pm, I was able to snag a prime spot at the bar. One of the best seats imo, because you get to see the pasta being made. VIBE: Moody, a little loud, but still a good spot for getting dinner with a girlfriend, significant other, or just by yourself. SERVICE: Even in a packed room, I never felt forgotten here. The service was attentive, and orderly. DRINKS: I ordered the "La Ora" cocktail. It's described as citrusy, delicate, pleasing, but the ingredients didn't feel blended enough. The first sip had too much "alcohol", and only until the ice started melting did the flavours feel less "intense". It wasn't delicate at all, but rather like breathing in alcohol. Wine would have been a better call here as they have an extensive list of great wines.APP: Lilian's Stuffed Cabbage: This is the dish worth waiting for. One of the best dishes i've ever had, and completely vegetarian. The richness and umami flavours from the mushrooms was incredible. Perfectly seasoned, the tomato sauce is not heavily acidic, but sweet. The only element that could have been improved on was the polenta. It was too salty compared to the cabbage, and a little over fried. Next time, i'll add-on the egg for a little runny yolk action. PASTA: Gnocchetti Con Pesto: Let me start off by saying, "I love pesto". I love how refreshing it can be, and that's what I was looking for, but eating this dish after the amazing stuffed cabbage was a mistake. I was under the assumption that pestos are normally very "light" dishes, but this one was extremely rich, and overly salty. Visually, this dish was stunning, and it was fun to watch the ricotta melt and turn into a thick sauce that coated the pasta. But it was too much sauce, i would have preferred half of the ricotta served. The texture of the Gnocchetti was phenomenal though, and had just enough bite. Next time I'll try their Chitarra Alla Norcina or Cacio Whey Pepe instead. DESSERT: Chocolate Dipped Forgotten Cookie: An elevated macaroon brought to new heights by the meringue. I heard that their Tiramisu was incredible, but it's also massive, so I decided on something smaller. Unlike a lot of restaurants where dessert isn't given a second thoughts, every item on the dessert list seemed like a hit at Monteverde, and this "humble" cookie was no exception. I should have asked for more of these.

You can never go wrong with any of their food - everything tastes fresh and the flavors all balance so well together. Their rotating special and seasonal menu also keep things exciting. Great cocktails in addition to an impressive wine selection. Getting a reservation can be nearly impossible but the staff is very friendly and accommodating.

It's great for all occasions - date night, a nice dinner with friends or family, you name it. I truly don't think you could go wrong here with anything you order (including cocktails) but:- Burrata e ham: Obviously the burrata is amazing, but this was also the best prosciutto I've ever had. It was soft and flavorful and rich without being too salty. And the sweet and spicy mostarda was the perfect complement to savory ham and creamy cheese. Do yourself a favor and start your meal with this.- Pasta: We tried a pasta special that had coin-shaped pasta and rock shrimp. (This was like 6 months ago so it may not be around anymore!) Really tasty, perfectly cooked pasta, and I had never had that pasta shape before so it was fun to try something new.- Cherry pepper chicken a la plancha: I was disappointed that the chicken parm wasn't on the menu when I visited but this did not disappoint. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, moist and flavorful on the inside, plus the sauce had a delicious acidity. Truly there is no way you can have a bad meal here. Just remember to make a reservation because it fills up!

I was so excited to try Monteverde after finally getting a reservation. The ambiance is beautiful and the staff was friendly but the food didn't live up to the hype. We got the burrata appetizer which was probably my favorite dish, but wasn't the best I've ever had. The pasta was okay. We heard so much about this place we came in with high expectations but I personally think there's better Italian food in the city.

We were in Chicago for the weekend. I saw this restaurant profiled on the Netflix series Feeding Phil. we decided to give it a try. The Burrata Ham appetizer is a must-try. I had the spaghetti Pomodoro, and my wife had the Cacio Whey Pepe. My spaghetti and soppressata meatball was terrific. I make my own sauce and meatballs from scratch. The sauce and meatballs were better than mine and my mom's. The Cacio was good, but I loved the spaghetti so much it did not compare. The Apterivo Spritz is recommended. We had the butterscotch desert that did not disappoint. Service was excellent.

Monteverde is my #1 Chicago Italian restaurant.

5/5 by πŸ‘» @Kayla P. on 02/18/2023

Why I love this place is because of how fresh their ingredients are, and how they put a modern spin on authentic Italian. There are days where I crave the burrata and ham appetizer. The dish is truly one of a kind and magical... order it and you will be so thankful you did! I also love the seasonal menu items, and how their menu is constantly fluctuating to accommodate the freshest ingredients and seasonal tastes.

Good, But Requires Careful Choices

3/5 by πŸ‘» @John on 11/09/2022

Pre-pandemic, this was a terrific star of Italian (or, actually, sort-of Italian) food in Chicago. I recently revisited it for the first time since the pandemic and was really struck by unfortunate changes on many fronts. The restaurant remains hard to get into and is unbelievably loud and unpleasant. The menu is more condensed and much less interesting than before. The pastas remain excellent and should be the focus of any meal. The rest is largely a disappointment. We had the smoked fish starter, which lacked depth of flavor and was served, quite strangely, with waffle fries -- that famous Italian dish -- lacking any real texture or flavor. The fish did not go with them at all. The grilled octopus first course came in at a whopping $35 and consisted, literally, of two tiny pieces of octopus no larger than my index finger. It was accompanied by a mess of Spanish-like chiles and other things bearing no resemblance to anything Italian. The service is a nightmare; unattentive people just pushed away the items on the table to place a new dish without comment or showing any interest in what we were eating or doing. I will never return to this formerly wonderful place.

Deserving of all the awards

5/5 by πŸ‘» @atc25 on 10/30/2022

I personally think this is the restaurant you should not miss in Chicago if you love Italian food. Their Burrata e Ham is one dish I will never forget. Warm tigelle bread layered with prosciutto butter, fig jam, burrata, prosciutto and arugula is the perfect mix of the creamy, salty and sweet. We wanted something to go with the crispy fall weather so we also ordered their Ragu alla Napoletana. Too much for a couple but so delicious. The osso bucco was melt off the bone, the fusilli was fresh and the perfect al dente and the sausage and meatballs are homemade and hearty good.

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Monteverde Restaurant & Pastificio Chicago at 6 PM the same day.

He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Monteverde Restaurant & Pastificio Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.

That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.

Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.

Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.

2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.

3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Monteverde Restaurant & Pastificio Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.

4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $5 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Monteverde Restaurant & Pastificio Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
