Restaurants near Marriott Chicago at Medical District

Excellent food and creative dishes! The service is fantastic too. Highly recommend trying the goat dishes and the pig face. Very innovative cocktails too.

Aba delivered a true 5 star experience. From the friendly wait staff attentively refilling pita bread to the delicious shareables, my 8 friends and I loved our meal. The family-style dining brought us closer as we collaborated ordering, tasted multiple dishes, and shared our favorites. I recommend the elderflower Hugo Spritz tower, which was light and refreshing, and the chicken skewers. We had mixed feelings about the Olive Oil ice cream, and did not like the truffle salmon. All in all, I could see us coming back in the future.

My husband, daughter, and I have been coming here around Christmas every year for 5-6 years and love this tradition. The food is delicious, the Christmas tree is gorgeous, and the service is great! If you want to do something special to celebrate the holidays this is the place to be!

This was one of my top five dining experiences ever! We got kitchen counter seating which I love- being right in the mix and chatting with the chefs is my jam! Cocktails were on point but the food…. I mean come on!!!! We had zucchini fritters, a butternut squash filled pasta dish that had this amazing rich and subtly sweet sauce, roasted beets with this crazy pop of pomegranate and risotto with a taleggio fonduta that I will be dreaming about for a very long time! Bravo, rose mary- you killed it!!!!

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!
