Step into Macello, a gem in Chicago's West Loop neighborhood near Fulton Market, where the warm & cozy atmosphere is matched by the rich flavors of Southern Italian cuisine. As you enter, you're greeted by the aroma of handmade pizzas from our wood-burning oven and the soft glow of colorful orbs. Our extensive wine selection ensures the perfect pairing for any dish.

Macello is where family-friendly fine dining meets the comforting flavors of a home-cooked meal, all delivered with the warmth and authenticity of our Old-World charm. Whether you're savoring our pastas or enjoying a cocktail, you’ll feel like a regular from your first visit. We invite you to join us and experience the cozy, unhurried service that keeps our guests coming back, time and time again.

    Macello did such a great job having our group of 7. We were a little over the place but they were patient and accommodating. Great staff and excellent food.

    Always great experience. Disappointed they ran out of the roast chicken at 6pm which was the reason we came tonight.

    Macello never disappoints food, service and ambiance are always amazing. In 12 years of living in Chicago this was one of the first restaurants I was introduced to and since then I have never had a bad meal or experience in all of these years. One of my absolute favorite restaurants in the city!

    Waiter was abrasive and rude. The wine was very good and the food had an interesting twist. I do appreciate the limoncello at the end.

    Such a great experience. I’m gluten free and they had a dedicated menu + could accommodate if I wanted something from the regular menu. Dessert was great, wine was great. Our waiter was friendly and made us feel comfortable. Definitely going back!
