8.5
A contemporary Hyde Park Italian room built for a more “dress-up” date with cocktails, shareable starters, and handmade pasta at the center. It’s strongest when you order in the burrata/meatballs lane, then commit to one pasta and one main to keep the pacing smooth.

Burrata, Meatballs, Gnocchi

Worthy Picks
7.9
A longtime Hyde Park hangout where the play is thin-crust pizza plus bakery-counter comfort, with a steady stream of students and neighbors keeping the room lively. Order in the “classic Medici” lane—one pizza and one sweet—so the meal feels like a Hyde Park ritual rather than a random stop.
Must-Try Dishes:
Garbage Pizza, Fudge Banana Nut Shake, Fruit Tart
What Makes it Special: A decades-running Hyde Park institution blending pizza, bakery, and all-day café energy.
