    Breakfast was excellent, the various egg dishes and omelets were prepared perfectly, as were the pancakes. Service was spot on, very leisurely. And drinks and water was kept full. Would definitely return.

    We approached our reservation at Torali with an open mind, despite the mixed reviews. Unfortunately, our experience aligned with the more critical feedback—we left incredibly disappointed. The butternut squash salad was bland and cold, with a mushy texture and an unbalanced mix of flavors. As vegetarians, we were limited to a single entrée: a vegetable fettuccine that was severely lacking in vegetables. Instead, it was overloaded with unappetizing, frozen-looking onions, an uninspired red sauce, and overcooked noodles. After sharing our concerns with the staff, the chef kindly came out to apologize and even acknowledged that the pasta dish was subpar, noting that a new menu is on the way. While we appreciated the gesture, the overall experience left a bad taste—literally and figuratively. With so many outstanding dining options in Chicago, we won’t be returning

    I’m a big fan of the Ritz Carlton hotel. I had a staycation here a few years ago and loved it. So today, I decided to treat myself to a luxurious breakfast. The food for breakfast is always top notch and of course the service. I’m being picky but I feel like places like this should automatically offer extra linen napkins. One for the lap, one for the extra silverware and one for your hands and mouth lol. Aside from that, it’s a lovely restaurant. I’m looking to check it out for lunch and dinner.

    When you visit a restaurant like this, you expect a delightful taste experience. The soups: corn chowder and chicken soup were okay, nothing special. My wife had the Rigatoni, it was very good. I had the Torali Mafalde Bolognese. It was as if they poured some generic tomato soup over the noodles sprinkled some ground beef over it and stuck it into the microwave. Absolutely no flavor. Did they ever hear of herbs and spices? Looking back at their menu it says that it has: beef, veal & pork tomato ragù, garlic cream, aleppo pepper, oregano, parmesan. I think all I got was the beef and tomato ragu.

    We ordered and asked for the meal to be timed so not everything came out at once. The waiter took the mail meal back but it was obvious it just sat under a heater when the pasta dishes came back out. Two of us have stomach issues after the meal and I'm curious if letting seafood sit under a warming light is the issue. Also, the coffee was brewed and black - what are you thinking charging that at $9 - Starbucks doesn't even do that. The waiter was also not as attentive. We mentioned a show when being seated and I had to go find him to ask for the check. Also, when you charge folks bring back the itemized receipt with the signing copies. The food was mediocre. For the Ritz I was expecting more.

    Our Torali experience was amazing. First, the staff were very attentive and constantly made we were doing okay. The burrata starter was amazing, especially with the freshly made foccacia bread. The crab cake was also great, even though I'm not a huge fan of fennel. I'd still order it again. For my entree, I had the 12oz NY steak and my partner had the vegetable fettuccine. Both dishes were amazing. We shared the polenta and asparagus sides. Dessert was a delicious piece of Torali chocolate cake. Best meal we've had in a long time. The atmosphere was great. Definitely recommend this place and will be returning again soon!
