   An amazing meal with outstanding service. Front of the house matched back of the house, a rare event these days. Well portioned, not excessive. Creative cocktails; nice wine selections by the glass. Gelato reminded me of Sicily in quantity and quality.

   Food came out cold and management was not very receptive or respectful of the situation after it came out cold for a second time. Our waiter was great! She knew the entire menu backwards and forwards without a hesitation, and gave great recommendations. The vibe/ambiance could have been so much better for the potential it has in that space, but it was still beautiful in there. The pastas (carbonara and gnocchi) were nothing short of incredible with great flavors and very fresh ingredients (fresh pasta too!). Steak was cooked perfectly, just a little too sweet for my liking. Artichokes and the lamb ribs were incredible too! Overall, a big big thank you to the chefs. Look forward to coming back!

   Great restaurant with friendly staff. Loved the artichoke and pastas dish but have had better calamari. Will definitely come back to try more antipasto dishes.

   Il Carciofo is a Roman Italian restaurant in west loop serving modern Italian small plates to share with the table. In my opinion, it’s most similar to Avec and Monteverde (all modern Italian small plates with similar menus, atmospheres, and prices) Looking at the menu, some are familiar favorites. Others are truly creative twists on those favorites. We had 8 dishes. All 8 were executed well and consistency is important. Most of the dishes were good, one was exceptional, and a few were simply “not good.” In the exceptional category we have: - The Gelato Desert (pistachio and chocolate flavors). Easily the best thing we had that day. In the good category we have: - Suppli Ragu (Most similar to a big arancini) - Caraciofo Allá Giudia (Fried artichoke) - Tagliatelle (Tagliatelle pasta with oxtail) - Carbonara (Carbonara pasta with bits of cured meat) - Patate Lardo (potatoes) In the “not good” category we have: - Pizza Rosso - Our table hated this. It tasted like a cheap flat bread with a bit of tomato sauce and no toppings. - Dry aged NY Strip - Perfectly cooked. But there’s a light sweet sauce on the steak. It was not “bad.” But honestly, nobody wanted a sweet NY strip Regarding atmosphere, the space is beautiful and just a bit relaxed. However, we did get placed at a terrible table off to the side and away from the main dining room. Service was wonderful. Our waitress was present, and attentive. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves. But while I compare it to Avec and Monteverde, it’s simply not as good. We liked most of the food. But at no point did anyone say, “I wish I had more of that!” We would certainly go back, but given how competitive the city is, it’s unlikely that we will.

    One of the most delicious dinners I’ve had in a long time! The gnochetti pesto was heavenly, and the pistachio gelato was just perfect! The service and ambiance were lovely, a little on the louder side but nothing too crazy.
