A Hidden Italian Gem in a Residential Neighborhood — A Tavola

A Tavola is truly a neighborhood treasure tucked away in Ukrainian Village. From the outside ( it looks like an ordinary house — no sign, no logo, just the address to guide you. If you’re not looking carefully, you’d easily walk right past. Their backyard patio ) is cozy and inviting. The first floor is the restaurant; the second is an Airbnb. You can choose the $72 four‑course prix‑fixe menu or order à la carte. The menu isn’t huge, but everything is delicious and reliable. 🍄 Roasted Mushrooms Infused with olive oil and herbs — simple yet incredibly flavorful. 🍐 Pear & Arugula Salad Fresh, light, and perfectly dressed. 🧀 Signature Gnocchi Cloud‑like potato dumplings wrapped in a rich, cheesy sauce — absolutely divine. 🍖 Braised Short Rib Tender, deeply seasoned, and fall‑apart tender. 🐟 Special Whitefish Lightly fried then baked — delicate and well‑balanced. 🍮 Flan A classic, pleasant finish. 📍 Located right near Ann’s Bakery, a local Ukrainian grocery. If you visit, don’t miss their homemade sausages — highly recommended! A Tavola: 2148 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60622 #ChicagoLife #Chicago #HiddenGem #ItalianCuisine #NeighborhoodEats #CozyDining
