" During my recent visit to Chicago, I stumbled upon Macello, and it quickly became my favorite place to eat. I was treated to a mouthwatering array of dishes.

" My go-to spot whenever I’m in Chicago! The food is always on point. I tried the lamb chops on my latest visit and they were succulent and full of flavor. The service is friendly and efficient, and the interior has a charming rustic touch. Despite the crowds, the atmosphere felt relaxed and inviting. If you want true Italian dishes, Macello is the place to be! " (*Curated Review*)

" Macello is a great place to visit! I love that they focus on Pugliese cooking, something you don’t find everywhere. I tried their seafood special and it was bursting with flavor. The ambiance was welcoming and felt like home. One minor drawback was the wait time for a table, as it was quite busy when we arrived. However, the food made up for it and I’d say it’s absolutely worth it. I’m looking forward to returning and trying more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful hidden gem! After reading the glowing reviews, we had to check out Macello while visiting Chicago. I was especially impressed with the attention to detail in their Pugliese cuisine. Everything was crafted with care, from starters to desserts. The ambiance felt authentic, and our server was outstanding in making recommendations. I can’t get over how fantastic the wood-fired pizza tasted. It's a welcoming place that I will definitely come back to! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic dining experience! This was my first visit to Macello, and I was impressed by the authentic Pugliese dishes. The orecchiette with broccoli rabe and sausage was out of this world! The dessert—tiramisu—was perfectly balanced as well. The rustic decor added a lovely touch to our dinner. This restaurant truly embraces its Italian roots, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a genuine Italian meal. " (*Curated Review*)
