Anteprima, Chicago, Illinois Restaurant Details

Food:

Acolytes "still dream" about the "market-driven" "authentic Italian cuisine" at this "lively" (some say "noisy") "little" Andersonville "storefront" where a "well-chosen" wine list complements the midpriced menu; "accommodating" service and "cozy" environs complete with a "romantic outdoor patio" further leave regulars rhapsodizing "so sophisticated, so simple, so neighborhood fantastic."

Food:

Wonderful time and dinner tonight. The serving sizes were perfect. The food (four of us all fish and shared pasta and dessert) was exquisite and our waiter was attentive, friendly, and quick! Delightful evening!

Food:

The pasta here was wonderful, and the wine list was great! Unfortunately, the service we received was pretty horrible: inattentive, unhelpful, and generally disinterested.

Food:

My wife and I have heard so much about Anteprima. Everyone raved about it. So last night for my wife's birthday dinner, we picked up dinner from Anteprima and planned on having a beautiful candle lit dinner at home.

When I got home, I quickly found that I should start making food myself. Now, The food itself was delicious, but the amount of food that was served with a meal is outrageously small.

I ordered the Scottish Salmon which was the smallest piece of salmon i have been served in any restaurant. That was also the only thing in the dish. There was no vegetable or anything. Just a tiny sliver of salmon that was smaller than my cell phone. How does that cost $23?

We also ordered the Goat Cheese Ravioli. Again, delicious food, but all we got was 7 pieces of tiny ravioli with a sprinkle of sauce. Nothing else. NO vegetable, No extra sauce, Nothing. $18 for nothing.

I also ordered a side and an appetizer that combined may be able to feed my goldfish. I actually measured the summer squash appetizer and it came out to less than a cup. The grilled eggplant side had 3 slices of eggplant so thin you can almost see through it.

Part of me wonders if this was just a mistake, but It is going to be hard to go back and spend another $60 plus just to find out.

Food:

Creative menu, nice place, great service, and super flavorful food....

Food:

I really love this place. Some of the best Italian food in the city. They do a great job of mixing up the menu based on seasonal availability of ingredients. There is a great back patio when it is nice out and makes for a great dining experience. The atmosphere is super friendly and the service is on point.
