    This was our first dining experience at Antico Posto. The food was amazing! My wife and I both think the shrimp diavolo (linguine) was unlike anything we've tasted anywhere else; it was exceptionally good. The Italian salad was also fresh, and the dressing was perfectly portioned.

    A fun environment with Italy decor and Italian music. The servers are friendly and attentive. The wine list has something for everyone. The meals are outstanding. Try the Bellinis and save room for dessert.

    Was so happy that the bar was available on a Friday night. Izzy & Tiffany were super helpful and pleasant and made great drinks. The only issue was that the side potatoes were dry but we fixed it with the oil/olive plate on the table.

    Our entire experience was wonderful! We arrived 15 mins early to our reservation and despite being packed we were still seated almost immediately. Victoria was so kind and attentive and the drinks and food were phenomenal! Desserts were even better!!!!!

    Let me just tell you straight out flat. This is the kind of restaurants that raises the bar. Prices are great and hence meant for everyone. Service is top notch. I believe workers are happy with their jobs. They smile and they take time to help you decide menu. Desert is grade A but I am mostly flat on the floor by their overall service starting from reception at every leg of the process till you leave the restaurant the bar is raised, be the lady at bar or waiter or chef or cleaners. I bet the owners of a change knows what a restaurant is all about. One of those days when words are not enough.

    One of our favorite Italian restaurants in the area. We had the White fish with pistachio crust was 10/10. Also had the spicy rigatoni with chicken 10/10 the flavors were so good. Also indulged in a tiramisu and affogato absolutely loved!

    I visited Antico Posto during Chicago Restaurant Week, and it instantly became one of my favorite restaurants. From the moment you’re seated, they serve an incredible spread of freshly baked bread and a mix of olives, pickled vegetables, cheese, and olive oil. It was absolutely phenomenal—one of the best complimentary starters I’ve ever had! While the main dishes are delicious, what truly sets this place apart for me is their chicken meatballs. I had never tasted chicken meatballs better than beef ones before, but Antico Posto changed that. They’re incredibly flavorful, tender, and unlike anything I’ve found elsewhere. Every time I visit, I make sure to order them—it’s a must-try! This restaurant truly embodies traditional Italian cuisine, with every dish exceeding expectations. However, I personally found the pasta a bit bland for my taste. That being said, you absolutely can’t skip dessert here. The gelato is always delightful, but the affogato is on another level. Even as someone who doesn’t usually drink coffee, I could tell how rich and high-quality their brew was. Antico Posto is hands down one of my favorite restaurants, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional Italian dining experience!

    This is our “go to” Italian restaurant. Incredible food and always great service. It is also very reasonably priced. 200 for dinner for four adults with 3 drinks and an appetizer. That’s including tip. We all have our favorites (see pictures) Just be sure to make a reservation as they are always busy!
