Welcome to Oggi Trattoria!
Family owned and operated, Oggi makes every guest that dines here feel like they are part of the family, too.
In Italian, Oggi means “today,” and there’s no time like the present to be in the moment, enjoying a meal of fresh and delicious Italian food in the company of loved ones. The menu offers un classics like Grilled Octopus, Calamari, or Baked Clams as starters to whet the appetite. Pastas include favorites from house-made Gnocchi to Spaghetti Carbonara, Fettuccini Alfredo, and Lasagna. Meat dishes range from seafood and pasta dishes (try the Gamberi Alla Diavolo, linguine with a spicy shrimp and tomato sauce) to Saltimboca made with chicken or veal. Oggi’s menu features a wide range of pizza: both stuffed and thin crust, build-your-own or traditional. And it wouldn’t be an Italian family dinner without their homemade Tiramisù and Cannoli to finish off the meal. Come prepared to eat, and enjoy like you’re truly one of the family.

Food is good and reasonably priced. The grilled Calamari was delicious. Wait staff was super friendly and allowed us plenty of time to enjoy the food and our birthday meal together.

The food is amazing! This is not our first time dining, and we felt rushed out the door once our meal was finished. The atmosphere is definitely buzzing and fun for a Saturday night.

We have eaten plenty of Italian food in the USA and it Italy over the years. This place was just okay. The server was really nice, but in general the food was just okay. After a salad and fried calamari we ordered 2 pastas. The linguini arrabiata was the hottest tongue burning sauce we’ve ever had. We have had a lot! Idk what was in it but it was inedible. The waiter said in 40 years no one has ever complained about the arrabiata sauce. Secondly it wasn’t linguini it was spaghetti. We asked about that and he insisted it was linguini, because linguini is flat. This wasn’t flat, so we were just being gaslit. The other pasta was fine, it was a rigatoni with a tomato cream sauce. He said their pastas are home made. We don’t believe that at all. We did order the tiramisu, and once again, it missed the mark. I have my MILs recipe from Italy and make it often. This one was lacking in that coffee/espresso essence. The layers were nice and tasty but it was very vanilla if you will. The whole coffee (pick me up in Italian) part was missing. So there was no coffee to pick one up as in the tiramisu definition. Too many other Italian restaurants to try in Chicago.

I wanted to like this more than I did. The octopus was good, but the salad was overdressed and the pasta bland
