- CChristopherVIPEdinburgh/Midlothian •17 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoA very quiet lunchtime on Presidents Day. I came for my favourite Fusilli. My first couple of bites were quite spicy (I don't recall it being as spicy on previous occasions) and I began to choke. Staff were very helpful, offered to replace with a less spicy version but I didn't like the thought of food being wasted. My cough settled down, I enjoyed the Fusilli as I always do (resolved to ask for less spicy next time). They brought me a second glass of wine on the house so that solved everything. This is a VERY CLASSY restaurant with tasty and interesting food. I come every year in February and always visit Acanto ....More infoAcantoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Downtown / Loop•4.8

- DdonaldChicago / Illinois •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe always take our sons out for Valentine’s Day. We had an amazing time. It was cool because they got to watch some basketball on that huge screen and the 9 year old enjoyed the pretzel & chicken tenders. My 15 year old had a burger and he said it was great. My wife got a burger too…now this is weird because she loved chicken and steak but she said hers was great too. The server got lost once or twice but 2 managers came by and checked on us and they were very attentive.More infoMillennium Hall RestaurantPrice: Moderate• American• River North (Chicago)•4.2

Omar, our server, was very nice and the service was great. The food came out quick and was soooo yummy! The spaghetti carbonara and chicken were so good! Would totally go here again :)More infoMiss Ricky's TrattoriaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Downtown / Loop•4.6
