Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Belmont Central / Cragin

Cannot thank the staff at piccolo sogno enough for the evening we shared. Had an amazing Valentine's day dinner with my partner. When we related we wanted to share our courses, the staff were so thoughtful and brought them out pre-portioned for each of us. We had the octopus, the black truffle mezzalune, the spaghetti neri, and the hazelnut cake. Ended this wonderful evening with an espresso and digestif. The wine was amazing and the ambiance was perfect. Everything was delicious and my partner commented multiple times how happy he would be if this was his last meal. Can't wait for the next "last meal" we get to share there!

Farm Bar has become one of my favorite restaurants over the years, we live in the neighborhood and it's always our go to. Great staff, great service, just a great overall vibe. 

Excellent Valentine experience, excellent service by all staff who were very friendly from reception throughout to waiter service. The valentine package was special and personal great idea by Nomi. Amazing views and seating. Will definitely be back on my next visit to Chicago. Thanks Nomi Clive & Alena

Rafael was great! We had a lovely Monday evening dinner with some family from out of town and from town, ha. Beautiful atmosphere, great cocktail menu, stylish decor, creative plates.

10/10 experience!! Ashton was our server and I’m glad we got waited on by him!!! Such a cool person and he did an amazing job!! I brought my girlfriend here for an early Valentine’s Day celebration and I don’t regret it at all. We loved the ambiance and especially the food. We started off with the Costera Guacamole and it was amazing I love the little spice it had. For entrees she had the Pollo al horno and I had the Carne asada cooked medium well and we shared a side of French fries and Arroz con Frijoles. We enjoyed everything the carne was so juicy and tender we enchilada that was included was very good as well I loved the sweet molé. I pretty much cleaned up the plate. For desserts we got surprised by Ashton with a mango sorbet and it was delicious thanks again Ashton !! We also had the Coconut flan and it was absolutely delicious as well!!! We will definitely be back and ask for Ashton !!
