    I had an incredible dining experience at Artango Steakhouse. The filet mignon was truly exceptional one of the best I’ve ever had in the Chicago area. It was perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor. Unlike many other steakhouses, the portion size was generous and filling, which I greatly appreciated. The drinks were also fantastic and complemented the meal beautifully. Although there was a brief delay in the arrival of our steaks, our waiter, Nenad, handled the situation with professionalism and charm. About 20 minutes after our appetizer, he approached our table on behalf of the chef to apologize and graciously offered complimentary empanadas. They were a delightful addition and more than made up for the wait. Overall, Artango Steakhouse exceeded my expectations. The food, service, and atmosphere all came together to create a memorable dining experience. I highly recommend it and look forward to visiting again!

    We arrived on time for our 8:30 reservation. When I approached the host stand one girl was on the phone and the other was texting and did not look up at me until she was done. When I gave her the reservation information she informed us that they over booked and that there was a private event. She said we would be seated in 15-20 mins. I brought friends there because I love the restaurant and it’s close to home. Not a great first impression unfortunately.

    Chicago, do not sleep on this gem! With the chef’s background of having worked in Miami and Italian restaurants here, the menu has a delightful variety of Latin classics and fresh pasta. Our table ordered all of the above and every detail was extremely well crafted. I had the churrasco which was cooked to perfection. Staff is super friendly and hospitable. La Perla treats their guests like they’re welcoming friends into their home. Do not skip it!
