" Il Milanese offers a true taste of northern Italy! I was completely blown away by the authenticity of the dishes. The staff's attention to detail is commendable – they really take the time to explain each dish and recommend choices based on your preferences. I had the pumpkin ravioli in sage butter, which was to die for! My partner had the pappardelle, and we both found ourselves wishing we could order seconds. If you're looking for exceptional northern Italian cuisine, don't miss this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" When we arrived at Il Milanese, we were immediately charmed by the cozy yet elegant atmosphere. The service was impeccable from start to finish. We started with the zucchini blossoms, which were perfectly crispy and filled with cheese. For my main course, I chose the tagliatelle al ragu, and it was hands down one of the best pasta dishes I have ever tasted. It had a rich, savory sauce that perfectly complemented the fresh pasta. For dessert, the panna cotta was heavenly. I can't recommend this restaurant enough – a true gem in the heart of Chicago! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very excited to try Il Milanese after hearing numerous rave reviews, and I must say, it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with staff that made us feel right at home. I ordered the seafood risotto, which was rich and flavorful, but the star of the show was the carpaccio – melts in your mouth! Desserts like the tiramisu and chocolate cake are a must-try. It's dishes like these that remind me of Italy! Excited to come back soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lovely dinner overall! I enjoyed a delicious risotto with seasonal vegetables, very comforting! The wine selection was impressive, and our sommelier provided fantastic pairing suggestions. My only complaint would be the high prices for dessert, but the quality was excellent. I would definitely recommend visiting Il Milanese! " (*Curated Review*)

" An Italian food lover’s paradise! The rustic yet modern decor here sets the perfect tone for the authentic dishes. We enjoyed the calamari and were amazed by its freshness. Our main course was beautifully plated and tasted just as good as it looked. I will definitely bring my friends and family next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing dinner with friends at Il Milanese. The staff was very attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. I loved the carpaccio appetizer and the wild boar main course. They really know the meaning of authentic Italian dining. I'll definitely return for more of that incredible food, especially with the holiday season around the corner! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I have been here several times already, and the experience has always been remarkable! There are tasty gluten-free options too! The atmosphere is definitely Italian, and the staff treats us as if we are family. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, the food quality makes it worth it. They even remembered our previous orders! " (*Curated Review*)
