Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in North Center

The food and waitstaff were terrific! I enjoyed everything I ordered. However, I was unpleasantly surprised when I retrieved my car from the valet - no one mentioned a $15 fee. It wasn’t mentioned on the website nor when I left my car. I’d still recommend this restaurant but caution people to find alternate parking.

Pizza'Amici offers a fantastic vibe with exceptional service and top-notch food. The thin-crust, tavern-style pizza is a standout, and with BYOB available, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The owners provide a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend checking it out!

Only two resaons Prosecco received 4 stars was due to the table location, cramped and drafty on this evening (wife had to wear her jacket during dinner), and noisier than expected (not really good conversational ambience). Otherwise, the service was outstanding and the food quality was terrific. Would recommend and will likely return soon.

Sapori Trattoria provided great service from the moment we walked in the door. Their cocktails were solid, good glassware and the cocktail inside of them. Shared two antipasti’s including Calabrian Clams (the best thing I ate all night, and the Burrata platter. The prosciutto was perfect, as were the lesser items, but the burrata was definitely a bit subpar. Not bad by any means, but maybe the weakest link. We split an Insalata Rustica four ways and there was plenty. My friend had the bucatini carbonara which was delicious but nearly too rich if that’s possible. I had the lasagna, and couldn’t finish even half of it. The gals split the Pasta Contadino. Neither of them finished a half order. A bonus was that they had a list of about 20 wines for half price. Overall a very nice experience.

Vibes and food is always amazing but the last 3 times the glasses silverware has been dirty
