Best Family Style Restaurants in Lakeview / East Lakeview

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

I had a great experience here. Our server was helpful and attentive. We had the salmon and the mezzi rigatoni and they were both delicious. The vibe was really nice. Adalina will stay on our list of places to go in Chicago for sure.

Very enjoyable food and in particular the Pho Bo was excellent - delicious broth. Service was attentive and very friendly. Unfortunately we did not have the best table - right next to the entrance, so the ambience was not as good as it could have been. Otherwise a very good experience.

The experience from the time I stepped off the elevator on to the second floor of Tre Dita . The hostess staff were extremely pleasant. My waiter was assertive.

What an amazing dinner experience! The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and very well decorated. The drinks were top notch, and high quality. We started with the arancini, which was crunchy, the rice was a perfect texture, and it had just the perfect amount of cheese. The table bread was on another level. It had subtle sweet notes, which consisted of honey and orange. I had the tagliatelle. The short rib was moist and very tender, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. My wife had the rigatoni, and she said the pasta was cooked perfectly as well, and the vodka sauce was very creamy and had excellent flavor. The tiramisu was just on another level! I have already recommended Alla Vita to 3 other people in the last 2 days! A must visit......I would give 6 stars if I could!
