Trattoria No. 10

Was taken here during a recent business trip. We had a great time. Our waitress was amazing and a ton of fun.
The food was very good, no complaints at all. I love swordfish and this place did it right. The lobster bisque was very good as well.
Great space, very nice décor, definitely worth stopping in if you’re in the mood for something a bit more upscale than pizza or hot beef. ;-)

Dined here for dinner on a weekend night before catching a show. Our waiter was attentive and fast in getting our foods out and we had more than enough time to eat dessert and drink coffee before leaving for the show. Four stars because I think their food can improve. Otherwise, we had a great time.

Had a wonderful dinner here. Service was exceptional.
Ordered the smoked buratta which was served with local fresh tomatoes.
Also had the mussel appetizer which was delicious.
For our dinner we ordered the smaller portions of pastas so we could sample a few of them. Every dish was very tasty. Their homemade sausage in the orecchiette pasta was spectacular! I would definitely recommend dining here. We will return! Oh! And the Cherry blossom cocktail is a must!

I’m only giving it two stars for the service bc the service was amazing but the food isn’t good at all! It is like something I can make at home n over price! I wish they can change all there menu

My husband and I went for a relaxing dinner. We were so rushed by the waitress it felt like we did not matter as customers. They were just worried about turning tables. Food was good but not worth being rushed through dinner.

First of all, the service was incredible! My family and I went down to see a play at the Oriental Theater and ate here before hand. The waiter was not only knowledgable about the food but also the shows around the area. Now the food, fantastic! The beet salad is wonderful, the main courses were delicious and the atmosphere was second to none. For our main courses we all tried different things: I had the Pork Milanese (outstanding) which came with a few potatoes and some veggies. My son had a child size steak and loved it. All in all I would go again when hitting up the theater district.

VEGETARIAN REVIEW: man, this place does not phone in their veggie options. This is a perfect place for a special vegetarian meal (I believe less so for vegans)– homemade pasta, creative and delicious veg dishes among outstanding meaty ones (per the hubs). The menu is carefully selected and seasonal. I adoooooored the herb pappardelle dish with wild mushrooms and leeks in a white wine sauce; I tried a few bites of the butternut squash ravioli and loved that as well. Tried multiple desserts, go with the profiteroles with pistachio ice cream and chocolate sauce! Astonishingly good, and the service was impeccable as well– thank you, Lorenzo!

Food was awesome! We were in the city to catch the opening night for Bronzeville, the waiter was very attentive. He even asked which show we were headed to in an effort to get us out timely! I had the lobster ravioli, my husband had the sausage ravioli, and our friend had the risotto. All were awesome! Best risotto ever, and the ravioli was very flavorful and prepared to perfection! Definitely recommended from me. Great for a date.

Came here during Restaurant Week for lunch. I’ll have to admit that the biggest driver for coming here was because of the generous birthday coupon sent to my email (up to $ 40 off lunch or dinner). You can even use it during Restaurant Week! You just have to go on their website and sign up for their email and enter your birthday.
I was conflicted on what to order and was scanning my surrounding environment to see what the dishes looked like for Restaurant Week when lo and behold I spotted a large table of about eight people with various dishes from the Restaurant Week menu. It seemed like people were predominantly ordering the House Made Herb Pappardelle. I wanted to see what the whitefish entrée looked like and spotted a guy nearby with it. I saw the crispy onions and what looked like to be a pile of white, textured goo. At first, I thought I was looking at the whitefish with my poor eyesight but my boyfriend oh so lovingly put it, «Babe, you’re looking at the risotto.» (I continue staring.) «That’s the risotto. You’re staring at the risotto. The whitefish is gone. He ate it already.» Thanks, honey, thanks. –_​_​_​–
We were given complimentary bread with a cheese dip that I skipped on but my boyfriend loved. It took all my might not to devour the entire loaf of bread and ask for more and then being too full for the rest of lunch. Self-​control. *brushes dirt off shoulder*
First Course — House Made Minestrone: This was subpar. It perhaps could have used a little more salt. I would recommend ordering a different appetizer.
Second Course — House Made Herb Pappardelle: I can see why more people ordered this dish. It was incredibly delicious with the perfect texture for the noodles. Everything just complemented each other in the dish.
Third Course — Profiteroles: Despite the waiter telling me how to pronounce it after I asked, I still couldn’t pronounce it. The profiteroles were good though! They had more vanilla ice cream than I wanted — I’m a chocolate person — but still a decent dessert. The presentation was awesome!
The service was spot-​on. Our server was friendly and attentive.
This meal was an amazing value when factoring the coupon! I would still recommend it without the coupon, but just order a different appetizer than the minestrone soup.

By far the most amazing Italian I’ve ever had! Not only does this place far exceed my expectations for delicious food, the service and atmosphere is impeccable.
The first time we visited Trattoria No. 10, my father was visiting from out of town and we grabbed a bite to eat before heading to a show. We let our waiter know what time the show started and he insured our food and drinks came out in a timely matter, which was one less worry for us.
We were so blown away with how amazing every dish we had was, when he came in town again we knew Trattoria was a must go. When making the reservation I included it was my dad’s birthday and anything special they could do for him would be amazing!
Again, the service was absolutely amazing and our server, Steven, was very personable and helped us pick our dinner dishes when we were very indecisive. My father made a point to let Steven know how much we love everything about the restaurant, which he then let his manager know who came up to the table to talk with us as well. It was a very professional touch and we were happy to praise not only Steven, but the consistent amazing service and food of the restaurant.
To top everything off, they surprised my dad with a piece of their delicious Tiramisu with a candle and «Happy Birthday» written in chocolate sauce.
We couldn’t ask for a better dinning experience!

After the musical Beautiful we came here for an early NYE dinner. What a great decision.
We were an hour early for our reservation but no problem!
The tables were spacious and not close to each other. They had a great menu and unhurried service.
I had a superb cheese plate to start and a great iced tea. I followed that with a half order of lobster ravioli and a half of sausage. It was all exquisite.
To end our elegant meal I had a cappuccino and a lemon blueberry Panna cotta.
It was the best service we have ever had on New Year’s eve. I find that usually you are rushed so they can flip the table. Not here, we were treated like royalty.
We recommended the restaurant to two other couples who were seeing the same play and they loved it as well.
Beautiful indeed!

This is an upscale Italian restaurant, but I expected better food in Chicago.
The squash ravioli was an excellent balance of sweet and savory. With 4 medium in a small, it was a good size. The bread was a classic crunchy French/​Italian with a goat cheese spead and buttery olive oil.
The rest was not so great. The veal was ok, but accompanied with distinct items that may not have been meant to be put all together. The chocolate cake was just weird — a gritty overcooked version of a flourless cake is the best description I can think of.
The FOH staff, esp the hostesses, were very good.

Really hard to get a reservation. Tried and failed for dinner at 5 on a Thursday a few weeks ago, but both Beautiful and Lion King were playing that night.
My sister and I came in for lunch on March 23, 2015 without a reservation. The manager (I think he has a disability too because walked with a limp) was so nice to us and gave us a table right away, although it was packed, making space for my wheelchair without being asked. I still appreciate how nice and accommodating he was that day.
The food was amazing. Our waiter forget about us, so the manager gave us complimentary butternut squash ravioli. It was amazing, sweet but not too sweet. The scallops we ordered were delicious, cooked just right. Even the bread was heavenly.
The restrooms aren’t accessible. I couldn’t get my wheelchair in the main restroom door, so I walked in.
Location is hidden. It’s downstairs but there is an elevator.
We went again for lunch recently. Butternut squash ravioli and bread weren’t as good as the first time, but the monk fish was divine… A bit sour, probably from the lemon to prevent fishiness, but it was not too sour. The monk fish came with mixed vegetables, which was also great.

I’ve been to Trattoria a couple of times now, and it’s a great restaurant for dinner, a business meeting, or lunch. The most recent time I went I decided to get the home made ravioli with spicy sausage (they’re known for their ravioli since they make it in-​house). It was really fresh and delicious! The only bad thing is that the portion are pretty small for the price. However, the dishes taste really good, so it’s worth it. I would definitely get it again! I have also had the lobster ravioli before, and that dish is very tasty as well.

Just had dinner here with my boyfriend and bar none, this is the best meal I have had in Chicago
Tasty, attention to detail and like most upscale places right portions
The chef is amazing fans we started with the gnocchi; my boyfriend had the filet mignon which was cooked to perfection while I had the pork tenderloin
The Cabernet Sauvignon was smooth and also amazing and the service was stellar
Thanks for a romantic evening !

My girlfriend and I shared a table in the corner. Work paid for the meal (score!). Interesting space that was well-​lit and felt classy.
We started with the stuffed calamari. It was delicious. I’ve never combined prosciutto and little squid before, but it’s a great — if salty — combo. Not a bad portion for this scale of restaurant, and very share-​able. Most bites were tender and delicious, but a couple were chewy. Nothing wrong with that in my book. Flavor was exceptional.
Over the course of the night, we each had a couple mixed drinks, all off of their cocktail menu. Well-​made, didn’t skimp on the booze. Getting those early in the meal with some empty bellies certainly warmed us right up!
Almost simultaneously with the calamari, we were served our romaine salad. They forgot the seasonal blueberries, but that was forgiven. We requested a different dressing, which she put in, and the chef then advised us against. Ended up going with some sort of sweet vinaigrette that went very well with everything in the salad. Good suggestion.
Speaking of the service, our waitress was attentive, despite helping a large party nearby and several other tables. She seemed a little flustered at times, but never once rushed us or failed to adequately answer our questions.
Our main course was a strip steak that was perfectly cooked, sliced easily, and as I recall was covered with an amazing red wine and peppercorn glacé. Highlight of the night.
We finished with some profiteroles with a variety of small scoops of ice cream. They were challenging to eat because they «squished» but damn they were delicious.
Overall 4.4. Service could have been a little bit faster from the kitchen, but the food was very good and the waitstaff high quality. Worth a visit!

This is the worst Italian restaurant i have ever had the non pleasure of dining in.
The food is garbage, the prices are on par with requiring federal funding to eat there and the atmosphere is pretentious & thick. Tip for the owner (s), immediately fire the «chef» and hire someone who better understands Italian cuisine.
Spicy gnocchi mixed with corn… Since when did it become popular to create a bad hybrid mix of Italian & Tex-​Mex.
#terrible

Ordered the ravioli, pasta and drinks.
Drinks were awesome. Do get «The Tiki». Shout out to the bartener. this thing was epic
Portions…dear god… so less. I understand that it’s a fine dining place, but whoa, they give you some seriously LOWWWWWWW portion. 7 finger sized raviolis for 25 bucks for so. Plus it’s quite salty. Did I mention that the quantities are ant sized already?
Wasn’t impressed with the bread as well. It was hard, cold and dry.
Skip this place and try another fine dining place around this area. But… if you want to go out on a date somewhere, then this place would be great, since the atmosphere is perfect for that.

Hubby and I went here twice. Both times before a Goodman play. It’s very convenient to all the theaters in the loop. They also have a very nice loyalty program. I signed up the first time we went, and got a $ 10 certificate. I also got a $ 40 «gift» for a birthday meal. Sweet deal!
Hubby and I both loved our entrees the second time. He had the pork tenderloin, and I had the salmon. Both were nice and flavorful and moist as well. We both had the minestrone soup. It was very good and came with a crisp grilled slice of french bread.
They also gave me a birthday dessert. It was tiramisu with a chocolate covered strawberry. I don’t like tiramisu, but for those of you that do, it was a good rendition. I took a bite and ate the strawberry.
The first time we went, I had the polenta appetizer and grilled calamari salad for my meal. Hubby had a pasta. The polenta was excellent. The calamari salad had small rings that just didn’t seem substantial enough. It wasn’t a bad dish, but I think they have so many good items that I will not get it again. Hubby thought his pasta was good that night too. We also shared the cheese plate. It was good. You can see pics of all of these.
It’s not a new flashy happenin” spot… but come here for a great predictable meal before or after a show. You won’t be disappointed.

séjour pour mes 50 ans, wow, ce restaurant tranquille offre une bouffe type Italienne assez juste et bien apprêté. Petite attention du serveur sur les portion et le choix du jours. Facture correct

Can a place be cavernous and cozy at the same time? I felt like Trattoria No. 10 was, walking down a curving stairway into an expansive dining room with a long wooden bar, archways, and a warm atmosphere.
We came for lunch during restaurant week, so it was busy. Understandably, our waiter seemed tired and aloof. But the water guy! Man, was he on his game! Seriously… he deserves a promotion or something.
On to the food — I did enjoy the salad with goat cheese and candied walnuts. I will resonate most other reviews on the butternut squash ravioli and say it was very good indeed. But not the best I’ve had. We both ordered the chocolate cake and agreed it was dry — though the chocolate writing «CRW» was a cute touch. Overall, we agreed nothing to write home about but still a good experience. Glad we tried it!
