Over dit restaurant

Charmant
Goed voor speciale gelegenheden
romantisch

Across from Millennium park and along Chicago’s Cultural Mile, Acanto Restaurant + Wine Bar is a treasured destination for those who appreciate authentic and approachable Italian food in a conversation-friendly atmosphere. Acanto serves seasonally-driven Italian cuisine from both regions of Italy utilizing artisanal ingredients from Midwest farmers and producers. Acanto boasts one of the most lauded wine programs in the US, including a 3-star rating by World of Fine Wine and a two-glass “Best of Excellence” rating by Wine Spectator. The libations menu is rounded out by Italian classics including spritzes and negronis along with craft cocktails, beer, and spirits.

The word Acanto is the Italian translation of Acanthus, the flowery leaf featured prominently in Roman architecture. Famed architect Louis Sullivan used Acanthus in his distinctive terra cotta ornamentation found on the facade of the historically-landmarked building that houses Acanto.

We gathered from disparate regions at a wonderful table that faced the street, had drinks and a delicious dinner and made it to the theater just in time. We are grateful for Acanto.

The food was delicious. Fun wine list- we enjoyed “rosé all day for the month of May.”😉 Service was excellent. We have dined here before and will dine here again. We want to try all the items on the menu. Thank you.

We had about a 15 minute wait past our reservation time. There were only two empty chairs at the bar, so 2 of us sat, while the other two left and went for a walk. The restaurant was full, and throughout most of our meal, the noise level was “energetic.” Three of the four of us really enjoyed our food. The lobster ravioli, squid ink pasta, kale salads, and scallops were all delicious. The only disappointment was the rigatoni; it was flavorless and dry. Couldn’t even finish it. However, the cannoli were delicious for dessert! So, a mixed bag. For the cost, the overall experience was “meh.” Although their menu selection is pretty neat, we probably won’t return.

Dined for early dinner before a show. Food and service here is consistently good. Wines and cocktails were good. Pear salad fresh and tasty. Pasta with mushrooms and lobster ravioli were flavorful. Affogato and flourless cake were very good. Service also good. Pleasant, attentive and got us out on time. Enjoyable evening. Great pre theater dinner option.
