In 1943, on the corner of Ohio and Wabash in downtown Chicago, Uno Founders, Ike Sewell and Ric Riccardo, created the original and legendary Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza. They combined authentic Italian recipes with the finest meats, spices, vegetables and cheeses and baked them in a unique and delicious deep dish crust, creating a hearty pizza like no other. Today, Uno’s Deep Dish Pizza is still made as it was then, with dough made fresh daily, hand stretched and covered with meats, hand-cut vegetables and freshly shredded mozzarella cheese. We put that same attention to detail in all our menu items, including pasta, salads, burgers, steaks and seafood and our new Love All, Feed All™ menu – which includes our 600-calorie-or-less Uno De-Lites, as well as our Gluten-Sensitive, Carb-Conscious, Vegetarian and Vegan offerings. So come by and let us help you create memories with your family and friends at Uno.

    I had a wonderful time at Quartino. The food came at lightning speed and the service was excellent. We loved loved the Tuscan kale salad, you must try at all costs. The penne vodka chicken and veal meatball app were delicious but I found the fettuccini Alfredo to be very eggy and unpleasant. Our server Christopher was friendly and quick! The zeppole were cooked in old oil and were immediately noticed by all of us at the table. Their nojitos are yummy, I recommend the passion fruit. I will come back especially with these awesome prices!

    We love dining at The Smith when we visit Chicago! They make us feel so welcomed and the service is always top notch. We've had five-star experiences with Nick, Coco, and Lindsey. Even the gentlemen who bus the tables are swift and thorough! The Smith really has it all - I've never had a bad dish there. Love the brick chicken, shishitos, and truffle arancini balls! Love their on tap old fashioned - the flavors are spot on. Bring back those pool party cocktails for summertime and we are golden! Thank you to the rockstar staff at The Smith for making us feel at home!
