    First visit, seated early, great service, nice casual feel. Carciofo Alla Guidia is the delicious signature artichoke appetizer. Insulata Di Carvolo has a strong anchovy taste which we like. Rigatoni Alla Carbonara is decantly rich. Pesce In Guazzetto has nice suace that we teamed with side of Funghi E Formaggi. Dessert was Zabaione E Berries which is a generous serving with a hint of alcohol. We will be back.

    100% recommended and we will be back! I'm a food and wine nerd so studied beforehand and got the Burratta and a glass of Verdicchio. This Italian white is an absolute gem that most Americans need to know about but don't. The Burratta is close to a masterpiece with the roasted red and yellow beets shouted out by their little toasted hazelnut shorties. Also our server Monica was perfect 5 stars! She was attentive immediately and lovely. When she realized it was a business meeting, she chilled and slower her cadence. She is who you want serving you food at a lovely restaurant. My wife is an Italy native (Venezia) and I have traveled all over Italy many, like 15+ times. I know Italian food very well. I grew up in a foodie household with my mother a 1970s foodie, including having taken a week of cooking school classes with Julia Child herself at La Varenne. Alla Vita is one of the best Italian restaurants in Chicago. Let's call it the very BEST, cuz Kevin Boehm is the owner and he's such a cool and great dude! Cinque stelle!!!!!

    Food and service was excellent. We live in the neighborhood and have eaten at Adalina on a couple of occasions. If you want a quiet dinner go on Sunday , Monday , or Tuesday night. Otherwise it is crazy busy and very noisy and loud.
