Chicago 🇺🇸｜Step Back into Medieval Italy in an Instant 🇮🇹✨

📍 Ciccio Mio Vintage decor, opulent details, full Italian charm ☺️ For atmosphere alone, it’s a 💯/100! Every dish I tried was delicious and authentic 😋 1️⃣ Complimentary Bread 🍞 Crispy crust, soft interior, perfect fermentation holes—chewy and fragrant! They also serve freshly sliced ham (watch the waiter use a vintage slicer 🥸). 2️⃣ Fried Calamari 🐙 Crispy, fragrant, and fresh—not doughy at all. Served with fried lemon slices that aren’t sour, just aromatic, plus a special sour cream dip—so good! 3️⃣ Black Truffle Pasta 🍝 Likely house‑made pasta, wonderfully al dente. The black truffle cream sauce is rich but not heavy—a must for truffle lovers! 4️⃣ Tomato & Cheese Pasta (forgot the name 😬) Tomato + cheese = irresistible combo. 5️⃣ Lemon Sorbet 🍧 Heard their cakes can be overly sweet, so we went with the lemon sorbet. Large portion, refreshing, and perfect for sharing among three 👍🏻 This place is perfect for date celebrations or girls’ nights! 📍 Reservations recommended 💛 #ItalianFood #ChicagoItalian #ChicagoEats #StudyInUSA #ChicagoLife #StudentLife
