" I was looking forward to dining at Tortello as I had heard fantastic things, but it did not live up to the hype for me. While the ingredients were fresh, and the pasta was made in-house, my dish was quite bland. The service was fine—no complaints there—but I wanted something more flavorful. The focaccia was decent, but it didn't wow me. Perhaps I just ordered the wrong dishes. I'd be open to trying again. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Tortello exceeded my expectations! The authenticity of the pasta was evident with every bite. I especially loved the Cacio e Pepe, which was perfectly al dente and the sauce was rich without being overpowering. The atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming, despite being a counter service style. I also tried their focaccia with ricotta and honey, which was heavenly. I'll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolute gem! The food at Tortello is exceptional—each dish shines with authentic Italian flavors. I had the chance to sample the tagliatelle and my taste buds were in for a treat. It's hard to express how fresh and vibrant the ingredients tasted. Sitting outside on the patio only enhanced the experience. Although counter service isn't my favorite, the food truly made up for it. I’ll surely make this a regular stop during my visits to Chicago! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Tortello last night and was blown away! The quality is top-notch, and as someone who craves Italian cuisine regularly, I can say with confidence that this is some of the best I've had! We ordered the spaghetti and their special tagliatelle dish. Each bite was filled with fresh flavors, clearly crafted with love and care. The atmosphere was lively, contributing to our great night out. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Tortello based on the glowing reviews, but my experience wasn't quite what I expected. The pasta was good, but not as flavorful as I had anticipated. I tried the squid ink bucatini, which was unique, but the taste fell a bit flat. On the other hand, the atmosphere was lovely, and the staff was friendly. I'd give it another shot, just maybe not order the same dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tortello’s charm is undeniable! The counter service was unique but being able to watch the pasta being made was a highlight for me. I ordered the squid ink bucatini and honestly, it surprised me with its depth of flavor. The food was excellent; however, it’s quite popular, so if you're coming during prime hours, be ready to wait a bit. I'd say it’s worth it for that fresh pasta experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! What a lovely hidden gem! Tortello’s pasta is unrivaled in Chicago. I sampled their cacio e pepe during my visit, and it was phenomenal—perhaps the best I’ve tasted! The comforting vibe of the restaurant made the experience even nicer. Although the portion sizes felt slightly small for the price, the flavors compensated for that. I’ll definitely return to try more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
