Great meal and service. We will be back!

Since the pandemic, restaurants have had strict dining restrictions. Now that the restrictions have lifted a little bit, my husband and I decided to dine in at a restaurant that we had never been to - Macello. Our reservation was in the afternoon and was at a time where they had just opened. So, we were their first table of the day. Everything was great. Service was excellent. Food was delicious. We will definitely dine in at Macello again and will recommend to family and friends 😊

Great Food, Great Service, Unfortunately hardly anyone there, but; for a Sunday afternoon, can't say it bothered my too much. Great wine selection and overall great value. I highly recommend.

Very pleasant dining experience - prompt service and delicious food.

Everything was good. Nothing was great, but nothing was terrible either. Our requests and preferences were ignored, but we figured it out.

We didn't get the table we wanted. We ended up sitting at a small table pretty close to a large group. The hostess sat another couple shortly after us, at the table we wanted. It was a larger table and next to smaller groups with more distance between their chairs and what would have been our chairs. We found it odd, but we didn't let it ruin our opinion of the rest of the experience.

We had to keep reminding our server about our dietary restrictions, which is ultimately our responsibility anyway. We provided this information with the reservation. We aren't used to those restrictions not being shared with the server, but that's okay - we notified the server ourselves. The constant need to remind our server of the dietary restrictions was weird, but at least our server was friendly.

I'm not in a hurry to go there again.

Very good Italian food. Delicious stuffed mussels, filet a la caprese, and snapper. The cannolis and chocolate lava cake were equally delicious. Very comfortable atmosphere and the wood burning oven is a great focal point. The house made limoncello is very good too.

Great airy restaurant with a large woodburning oven in the middle. Everything is prepared to perfection especially items in the woodburning oven. Food is true to its origin Puglia. Excellent selection of Puglia wines which are exceptional and reasonably priced. We had grilliada mista, pizza and lamb caserole. Finished with mascarpone semifreddo. All excellent.

We felt welcomed, unrushed and food was delicious. Had the octopus spaghetti and rissoto. So good

Very great Valentine’s Day experience. This is becoming one of my favorite places in the city and hasn’t disappointed yet.

Pretty good restaurant we’ve been a few times. Best times to go when the patio is open in the weather permits. We enjoyed ourselves and will be back soon

Amazing food!

We absolutely loved it!! - Wish the bread was a little warmer though, not a complaint just a suggestion :)

We were originally seated in the back and it was very chilly but we asked our server to be moved and they were very accommodating!! Pizza was fantastic- so thin and crispy! We also got pasta which was good too. The surprising star of the night was the cannolis! Delicious and paired with gelato!

I selected the outdoor patio option when making the reservation, but was told when we arrived that the heaters were not working and we would need to sit indoors. Tables and chairs incredibly close together, and they kept moving things around to fit even more people. Very uncomfortable. The server seemed tense/annoyed, and I can’t blame him given these working conditions during a pandemic. Most diners were not observing the rule of masking while interacting with restaurant staff. The food was okay but honestly I just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible.

I was glad to get a reservation once indoor dinning opened back up in the City. Macello, as usual, did not disappoint. The food was exceptional, the ambiance was great, the staff was courteous as always.. you can’t ask for anything else after the year we have all had. I was happy to find proper precautions being taken with staff wearing masks and tables being spaced properly.

I look forward to visiting again!

With 10 month old daughter, a great night.

Definitely going into the heavy rotation for Italian restaurants in Chicago.

We loved it! The restaurant is fun and cozy. We sat more than 6 feet away from another table. The food was incredible. We will be back soon!

The ambiance is so charming, and the food was very good. Will definitely be back time and time again - new neighborhood favorite!

A great place to cheer up on a cold night. Comfort food with twist supported by interesting specials

Food was amazing.
Pasta with shrimp was so delicious.
Amazing cannolis.

Great service, great food, great wine list!

Great food, excellent cocktails.

We made reservations knowing that dine-in eating in Chicago was very limited. We were seated in a tent in the back (with heater). I called ahead to ask about how comfortable the seating was. It was a bit chilly (it was 30 degrees and wet outside), but simply eating a wonderful meal with wonderful service was such a treat. The food was fantastic! The service was excellent. Great experience overall.

Great spot. First time going and we loved it.

Excellent as always. It was a friends first time experience and he loved it. We will be back soon with more friends. Thank you !!

Macello is a nice place to go for a casual italian meal. Their food is good, but nothing that will knock you out of the park. I'd recommend trying once as they have a nice selection of wines and a menu one wouldn't typically find at an Italian restaurant.

Wonderful service.

The food was fantastic!! I had wedding soup and mushroom risotto which was fab as was the pinot noir that went with it. Service was outstanding. It was quite a cold night and we were chilly in the tented area but did not want to sit inside. We will definitely be back. Thank you!!!

Good food, good service. Very nice looking restaurant

The waiter was amazing I love this place

increíble atención y la comida deliciosa muy recomendable lugar citadino de Chicago

We have been going to Macello since moving to Chicago 8 years ago. Neither the food nor the service ever disappoint!

Excellent as always. We love This restaurant!! Cannot wait for live music Wednesday again !! Thank you and all the best in 2021.

Gustavo is the best waiter I have ever met!!!!!
