About this business

Ladies and gentlemen, it is time to remove the stilettos and formal jackets from your wardrobe. This old town treasure is elegant and chic and the perfect example of a pre-theater restaurant. The golden walls and the wooden floors make the décor welcoming and fancy, while the uncomplicated menu makes guests feel right at home. Try the pastas in different sauces or go for the thin and crispy pizzas with toppings of your choice. The non-adventurous can stick to the chicken dishes and maybe order one of the wholesome sal... read more

Cozy Old Town spot dishes up great Italian at cheap-date prices – The Scene A lively pre-theater crowd bustles in Dinotto's two small dining rooms, where decor is simple (warm golden walls, hardwood floors) and tables are packed tight. A charming little bar beckons with a few stools in the front room; a spacious, enclosed front patio offers primo Piper's Alley people-watching. The Food The simple, classic Italian fare includes pizzas, calzones, 15 pasta dishes and a handful of chicken and veal specials. Meaty grilled portobe... read more

Nice outdoor seating + service – The patio was very nice on a summer night and the service is pretty good as well. The menu items are orginial and the house salad is great!

Great pasta – I enjoyed eating outside on the patio one Sunday evening. Both pasta dishes my boyfriend and I ordered were excellent -- very authentic. The cannoli was great as well.

terrible service! – we were visiting chicago for the 4th and decided to celebrate a birthday at this place. our waitress was soooooo ditzy! she kept forgetting things and coming back to the table after they already arrived to check if she needs to bring them out! it took about 30 minutes to get our order out while other tables were getting their food much faster. we ended up dining on bread for the first part of the evening (we were starving!) and it was gone very quickly. the manager said "i'll get you some more bread" but ... read more

Outstanding Servers & Authentic Italian fare – Had a fantastic time here last night with my girlfriend. We showed up 30 minutes early for our 7:30 reservation, were offered drinks at the outside bar and were seated at 7:25pm. Our server, John, was very knowledgeable and recommended several vegetarian items to Michelle, and I opted for the Bowtie pasta with Chicken and garlic. The busboys were always one step ahead and seemed to appear two seconds before we needed anything. We were celebrating Michelle's new job promotion and... read more

Unpolished but fair – Sat 17 June. Sat in garden with heavy traffic nise, When we sat table was filthy from road. We asked and it was quicly cleaned. Menu had adequetly grilled squid and bruchetta, decent Itanlian Tuscan white for $30. Red sauce central on the seafood mains.Right idea with menu, waiter knew less about Italian cooking than mid west grunge rock and it showed. When weather became poor it was so empty that everyone in garden could be accomodated inside restaurant. I suspect that unless it reinvents itself these ... read more
