In an era of vacuous restaurants, which are difficult to tell apart, Merlo on Maple is a quality, authentic intimate environment that offers the finest della cucina bolognese.

My husband and I love Merlo! We have been going here on dates since before we got married, so going on about 6 years, and we know everyone that works here. We don't go out on dates very often, but whenever we do, we always go to Merlo on Maple. We know our money and time is well spent on impeccable food and exceptional customer service and we love the quiet, intimate atmosphere. We just celebrated our first wedding anniversary at Merlo and I know we'll be back for all the others in our future.

A hidden gem in the North Loop area. Ambience and the service really make this place. It's cozy, like being invited by friends to their house for dinner. I look forward to going back!
