🍷 Secretly Thriving for 20 Years... Chicago's BEST Italian Food! 🔥

😻 This Italian gem healed my soul during spring break! Still dreaming about their risotto—it’s so good I almost moved to Chicago... (writing this with tears of longing) 🥹💘🍚✨🇮🇹🌆 📍 Sapori Trattoria ⌛️ Since 2001 | Closed Mondays | Reservations recommended 🌟 My Top 2 Must-Orders: 💗 Mushroom Risotto with Cheese Huge portion—don’t judge by looks! One bite = out-of-body experience. Arborio rice drenched in sauce + two types of mushrooms = flavor explosion in every bite. 💥🍄🧀 💡 Risotto perfection: No undercooked mush or hardness—top 3 in Chicago, EASY. 💗 Bread Pudding + Pistachio Gelato Crispy outside, custardy inside—bread pudding lovers, resist if you can! Ate the whole thing post-meal 🥺. Caramel sea salt gelato + raspberry sauce + warm pudding = dessert HEAVEN. (Stole half my friend’s gelato—zero regrets. Pistachio flavor was INSANE—real Italian gelato wins again!) 🍨💚🔥 🍽️ Honest Reviews of Other Dishes: 🥖 Free Bread: Meh. Save room for the good stuff. 🚫🍞 🍝 Shrimp & Clam Pasta: Authentic—fresh seafood, classic sauce. Noodles slightly soft (perfect for me). Safe pick! 🦐🍝🌊 🥩 Burrata & Prosciutto: Overhyped. Dry bread, average ham. But with cheese/spread, texture was fun. 🧀🍖🎭 📝 Final Thoughts: Arrived at 6PM on a weekday—packed fast with locals. Vintage vibe + moody lighting = photo-friendly (no one cares if you flash!). ✨📸🍷 A month later, still obsessed. Forget downtown’s noisy, salty "trendy" spots—this 23-year-old hidden gem is Chicago’s real deal. Grab your bestie and GO! 👯♀️💫 #HiddenGem #ChicagoEats #ItalianFood #SaporiTrattoria #RisottoLover #GelatoHeaven #FoodieReview
