" Acanto is a must-visit if you want authentic Italian vibes. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable about wine pairings, which enhances the entire meal. We tried a variety of pasta dishes and they were all delectable. The lighting creates a warm, intimate atmosphere that is particularly nice during dinner time. The prices were reasonable given the quality and portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely restaurant that I discovered while searching for places nearby my hotel in downtown Chicago. The dishes were delicious and showcased a real sophistication! I went for the seafood special, and it was fresh, light, and perfectly cooked. The ambiance was intimate and inviting. Acanto is definitely somewhere I would return when in the city again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Could not have asked for a better experience! The food was a true celebration of Italian cuisine. We thoroughly enjoyed the homemade pasta and the light yet flavorful sauces. The waiter was so friendly and created a wonderful dining environment. We ended our meal with the delightful saffron panna cotta, and I'll be dreaming about it! Amazing choice for a night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an elegant dining experience at Acanto! From the moment we stepped in, the staff made us feel special. Each dish was artfully prepared, showcasing the authentic Italian flavors. I was particularly taken by the chef's special risotto. The only drawback was that the seating can be close, making it slightly noisy, but the food more than made up for it. Definitely a highlight of my trip to Chicago. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a delightful dinner at Acanto yesterday! The vibrant atmosphere and the warm service set the perfect tone. I tried the ravioli which was incredible, showcasing true Italian authenticity. The dessert selection was a bit limited, but we had the chocolate torta, and it was worth it. Make sure to book ahead, as it gets crowded! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had lunch at Acanto and couldn't have been happier. The homemade pasta impressed me deeply and the black truffle oil in my dish took it to another level. The ambiance is relaxing, and you can chat comfortably. My only minor critique would be that the wait staff seemed a bit stretched at peak times, but they handled it well nonetheless. Definitely worth a visit when in Chicago! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Acanto on a business trip recently and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the ambiance of the restaurant. I had the duck ragu pasta, which was absolutely divine! The flavors were so rich and balanced. The wine selection was also impressive. However, I did find that the portions were slightly smaller than expected for the price point. While it was a delightful meal, it left me wanting just a bit more. Service was friendly, and the staff seemed genuinely interested in providing a great experience. " (*Curated Review*)
