Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Evergreen Park

We were promptly seated for our reservation. Water and bread on the table as we were seated. A little bit tight for space but doable. Server greeted us within 10 minutes or so with requests for drinks. Took our appetizer request as well. We were never rushed when entrees came and as this was a repeat visit the food was outstanding as always!! Enjoyed every minute of our dining experience!

Best pizza pub style pizza I’ve ever had. Highly recommend. Salad was wonderful too.

Everything we ordered was excellent. Standouts were the bruschetta, meatballs and short rib stuffed pasta. $25 corkage is reasonable. John was excellent server. Will be back. Only minor criticism is it would be nice to have a few larger entrees (whole branzino, pork shank as examples).

First time experience at Alla Vita. It was the perfect spot for lunch with my colleagues to toast the holidays. The atmosphere is festive, the food and service were incredible and the location was wonderful (easily accessible to the Loop via the CTA Pink Line). Can’t wait to go back with friends, soon.

Read this twice…This is the best Italian restaurant in the city. Been coming here for 5+ years and never a miss. Not just that, but every single time our experience is absolutely memorable. Mark and the team prioritize quality food with impeccable hospitality. It always feels like you are stepping into the home of your family, which can be hard to imagine in the bustle of river north. There are plenty of more lavish or expensive spots to do Italian food, but I promise you that few hold a candle to this establishment. Last night we celebrated my mom’s birthday and her and my dad requested Prosecco for the celebration. The team here made it incredibly special for her and we were able to share a wonderful meal. They ask to come here every time they visit from Florida! We always look forward to returning:)
