Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Humboldt Park

First of all I thought the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming! We were celebrating our anniversary and they made it feel special. The rigatoni really stood out and will be a must order for us in the future - it had the perfect level of spice and warmth in flavor. The chips and dip were a fun appetizer to start with and were priced perfectly. We’ll definitely be back!

I dined with a coworker in celebration of a phenomenal 2024. The food was beyond my (already high) expectations and the service was outstanding. Often service at a restaurant of this caliber can be excellent, but cold and a bit stiff. Not so at Boka. Kevin was as professional and polished as you could hope for in a captain while still being fun and personable. Great room, great vibe, outrageously delicious.

The food was fantastic, music was contemporary and upbeat, and service was cordial and impeccable— she never let our glasses go empty and checked in at frequent intervals. We will definitely return!

Il Carciofo is awesome. The service was terrific and the food was off the charts. The carbonara was the best I have ever had and the artichoke appetizer is a must. Zeppole dessert was a great way to finish a great meal. Already booked the next reservation!!

every time we eat at girl and the goat, i fall in love all over again. the food is creative and always delicious. the ambiance feels so cozy and casual, intimate, and like a warm hug. i love that i celebrated my 40th birthday here at the king’s table and then, 10 years later visited for my 50th birthday and tho we sat at a different table, had a repeat visit from the same server - GARY!!! definitely try the steak in citrus dressing, the pork belly in crabmeat sauce, and always the pig face. always always the pig face. and the crumpets in the pate order. my GOSH so good
