DeNucci's Chicago Reviews
Since the wait was long, we chose to sit at the bar.
Our server, Kevin, with Daniel assisting, provided excellent service. They were both so friendly, and Kevin recommended the grilled calamari--which did not disappoint. The food and service were exceptional!
This neighborhood spot is good.
Food is good. Service is not. I've been here a few times this summer, and have found the hosts to be good, but the bartenders could care less about me as a customer. It feels impersonal. I think this place has potential to be a really cool neigh
Sad to say that I got food poisoning this evening.
I had the kale salad. It pains me to write this review.

We had such a great experience here! The cocktails were excellent--creative, balanced, and just what you want to kick off a night out. For food, we tried the white mushroom pizza, tonarelli with gold pomodoro and a Caesar salad, and everything was a

We only made a stop for a few drinks, I ordered the Espresso martini and my friends the Pinot Grigio of the house. My cocktail was very tasty. I liked the atmosphere of the place, everything tidy and clean. The menu looks delicious I'll be ba

Delicious food! It's usually pretty easy to get bar seating on weekdays. Especially love the Caesar salad.

Stopped into DeNuccis after a long walk around the Lincoln Park area to get a late lunch. It was a beautiful day so we took a seat on their patio, which was super cute. We started off with their spritz pitcher, which was delicious. Then opted for a
Hate to say it but kind of mid.
The arancini and calamari was super good but the cavatellis were not that great sadly
First of all, this place is gorgeous.
We sat outside and it was such a vibe. I have celiac and also can't have dairy right now. The server was super helpful and knowledgeable. I was able to have a delicious pasta that was gluten free and dairy free. I was so happy.

me and my bf stopped here for his birthday dinner and it was absolutely amazing! the vibes inside were perfect, it definitely felt a little fancier than what we were expecting but it felt so comfortable once we sat down and got to get a good look at

DeNuccis may be the best Italian Restaurant in Chicago.
Not only is the service great, but their food hits the mark every single time. We tried their Lobster Angolotti this time, and it was so delicious! The lobster cream sauce is to die for, and the pasta was a perfect al dente. They don't skimp o
Fantastic dinner!
We visited Chicago and booked a dinner reservation at DeNucci’s in Lincoln Park. I had googled to find a place that has a kids’ menu and decent choices for a kid, nice atmosphere for the adults and good food. I kept ending up with DeNuccis. WE
Excellent meal
We had an excellent meal here with attentive service. Standouts were the arancini, chopped salad, tagliatelle bolognese and the veal Marsala. Everything was great from start to finish in a cozy atmosphere.
Another first-class Italian restaurant heard from
Chicago is ablaze with outstanding Italian restaurants and steakhouses with more to come. One steakhouse to add to the list is DeNucci's, a striking red-sauce venue serving Italian comfort fare in a cozy, old-school setting with lots of booths a
Great meal
This restaurant is a hidden gem in Lincoln Park. We were there for restaurant week and the food was delicious. My chicken Marsala was perfect and my husband’s eggplant Parmesan was moist and seasoned perfectly. The highlight was a salted caramel
Amazing Neighborhood Gem
I love this neighborhood gem! Great Italian food, excellent service, and friendly staff all contribute to a great dining experience that's very reasonably priced. They recently opened up for lunch on the weekends after many requests by their cus
Food is beyond delicious.
Our family had several dishes and all were superb. We dined on a Friday evening and close an outdoor table. Delightful. If it is possible for service to exceed the delicious food, then that is the case. From the hostess to the server to the wine st
At here last week.
Lots of good, and not so good. I had the chicken parmesan. It was very good and prepared as I asked. But, for $28 it should include a little side of pasta, like almost every other restaurant. It didn't. A small pasta side is $8. It was just the

I had the gluten-free pizza, which was great, and the garlic knots. Those could have been baked a little more to have that golden brown texture. The interior is very dark, and I have vision issues. It was hard to read and not have descriptions of foo

Tagliatelle bolognese and spicy crab pasta were both so salty that we really couldn't taste much of the flavors. You can always add salt at the table, but you can't take it out. I like my salt, but it was too much. We ended up bringing the vast major

This place is great.
The food the service and the aesthetic are all great. Be sure to get a reservation for peak times.
Went here for dinner on a Saturday night with a group of 6.
We didn't have a reservation but went at about 6:00 pm to put our name in and the wait was about an hour and a half. We got seated and got drinks. The frozen Negroni was delish, although i wish it was a little more frozen. We had an assortment of ite

Stumbled upon this delightful neighborhood gem on a trip to Chicago. Highly recommend. Location, staff, food (homemade pasta!), ambience were all 10/10. Will definitely return.
DeNucci's is a lot of razzle-dazzle and has a great buzz.
The atmosphere is sleek and contemporary. The place is packed! Reservations are not super easy to obtain (plan your visit in advance). But, you can walk in and sit at the bar (get there early before the dinner rush! ~5:45pm). Started with garlic kn

This was an overall disappointing experience for an Italian dinner. I live in the area and it's always popping when I walk by so decided to stop in. We showed up pretty late (like 10 pm) on a Saturday night and still had to wait about 30 minutes. A l

A lovely local spot right in beautiful Lincoln park! My mom and I visited here after wanting to see what the hype was about. We were pleasantly greeted with a beautiful bar area that led into the cozy dining space. The restaurant was laid back and co
The restaurant was very clean and the staff was very nice.
We were lucky enough to snag a booth. The garlic knots were excellent. The grilled calamari was a bit chewy but did taste good. The sauce that goes on was very strong and slightly overpowered the actual calamari. The spaghetti limone was very lemo

WOW. I wish I could have back the minutes of my life I just spent walking to pick up my takeout order, trying to eat it, and then quickly taking it out to the garbage can. The food is complete GARBAGE. I ordered the Tagliatelle Bolognese. I feel like
Nice service, pretty restaurant, food is hit or miss.
Came here with a large party and our service was great. Parking is tough but there is valet. We split lots of items but a few stand outs - the fried calamari was good, garlic knots were perfect. The lobster ravioli was pretty bad. It was... sour? Wa
Fantastic place, top to bottom, start to finish.
This restaurant group really knows what they're doing, the details from the interior design to the furniture and decor is beautiful. More importantly, the FOOD and the SERVICE. Top notch. Excellent, every aspect, with a staff that is attentive but ne

Great Italian dishes, warm atmosphere, and wonderful service! Logan A was a great server. He suggested the pistachio gelato and chopped salad and both were fantastic. My girlfriend doesn't even like pistachio but she loved the gelato.
On point for pasta in Chicago
We love high-end Italian food in Chicago. DeNuccis did not disappoint us. Everything we had was perfectly done. The appetizers, minestrone and little gem Caesar salad, were wonderful--the salad was chilled with crisp lettuce, with a delicious anch
Connect with users posting reservations for DeNucci's Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with DeNucci's Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to DeNucci's Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the DeNucci's Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at DeNucci's Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at DeNucci's Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
