OMG! Found an Italian "Rou Jia Mo" in Chicago! 🥙🇮🇹

🏘️ Monteverde Restaurant & Pastificio 💭 Another super hard-to-book spot! Weekday brunch might have more openings—keep refreshing! Unlike the classic Italian vibe of Ciccio Mio, this place is all about creative twists, and the flavors totally deliver. 🧀 Burrata E Ham The must-order “Italian-style rou jia mo”! Rosemary flatbread topped with prosciutto, burrata, pickled fruit jam🍯, and prosciutto butter🧈—the combo is mind-blowing. The jam includes mustard seeds that cut through the richness—such a satisfying bite. 🦐 Shrimp Scampi on the Half Shell The shrimp are smaller than Ciccio Mio’s, but still delicious—leaning more toward Spanish-style garlic shrimp. 🍝 Egg Yolk Ravioli I love sitting at the bar here—you can watch them freshly make the ravioli in the mirror🪞, like a real-life Overcooked game! Each ravioli is as big as your palm🖐️, oozes yolk when cut, and with black truffle on top… it’s impossible not to love (though it can get rich toward the end). ✨ Hidden hack: Add the black truffle into your “Italian rou jia mo”! #FoodReview #RestaurantCheck #Chicago #ChicagoRestaurants #ChicagoFood #ChicagoEats
