This is one of the best Itallian restaurants... my husband and I have been going here for years now and the best feature is their romantic booths!! This is the place we celebrate our special ocassions!
I've only tried the vegeitarian part of the menu and the bow tie pasta with cream sauce and the fettucine with mushroom cream sauce are the best. Good drinks and huge portions... we always walk out with lunch for the next day! Bit pricy but its well worth it!!
The tiramasu and the baked alaska is a very good dessert choice.
Make reservation for the booth... its prefect for couples!! I would definately recommend this to families and couples.... dont be fooled by the outside... You have to walk inside and try this place!!
Pros: Romantic, good food, free and valet parking...
Cons: gets really crowded .. make reservations

This will be the third year we are going for my birthday. We love having a tradition and we love the atmosphere, wine and VEGETARIAN selection that this place offers. And the birthday cake, if i remember correctly- a bread pudding smothered in a carmel sauce is to die for.

I have enjoyed this chef's food for over 20 years, going back to La Fountaine, and I'll follow him anywhere he chooses to go or open. All the best elements of bistro dining are present here, including tight seating and a lively, louder enviornment. The food is excellent, fresh and genuine. Come the dark of winter, there is little better than his hearty cassoulet with a good glass of Rhone. This is the standard that other bistros are judged by....
Pros: Le Sardine if this one is booked & good wine values.
Cons: not at the end of my block.....

Not interested in the kids controversy but will say that if you want the most memorable delicious cake order the "Janeane". Fresh berries and fresh cream and yellow cake.
I just had a party for 50 people in my backyard and ordered the "large (feeds 60)" and EVERYONE loved it and asked about it and it tasted like it was made for 6 people.
Pros: Unbelievable cake!
Cons: None

Try the king crab leg - rib combo. The rib meat falls off the bones and the crab legs are huge and succulent with no fishy taste. Price is reasonable for this great food.

Went there Saturday night with my sweetie & two other couples. AWESOME and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND! The food was great with wonderful portions for the price. The ambiance was very romantic and the service was second to none! Our server was very knowledgeable about everything from the food to the wine to the dessert and was able to provide "snippets" about anything and everything we mentioned. I would absolutely recommend Trattoria 10 for a fine dining experience. We will definitely be going there the next time we are in Chicago.
Pros: great food, ample portions

When my parents were visiting, my husband and I wanted to take them to the best restaurants Chicago had to offer, and Arun's did not disappoint. Each appetizer was more tasty than the one before (and the presentation was great -- a cute carrot basket on one plate, an abstract fish on another), and the four entrees were each standouts in their own way (I loved the Massman beef and the lobster). And the two desserts were absolutely delicious! It truly was like being royalty in Thailand. I can't wait to go back!
Pros: fantastic cuisine, attentive staff
Cons: parking, not very romantic

Actually the flavors are Chocolate, Strawberry, Palmer House (New York vanilla with cherries and walnuts), and Pistachio ice creams, with orange sherbet on top. The rainbow cone is not a mish-mash but a complex combination of flavors that work very well together. The orange is like a sorbet and cleanses the palette before you get down to the other flavors; the pistachio has almonds in it along with pistachios, that way it has a nice balance, not too salty; Palmer House works as a nice halfway point- I sometimes get just palmer and green (Pistachio) on a cone (those are the flavor calls the kids working there use-that in itself is fun and helps the line go faster); the strawberry has actual chunks of strawberry in it and it is so fragrant. It works great next to the chocolate because, honestly, what better way to enjoy strawberries than with chocolate? (There’s a whole science to it) My family’s been coming here for generations-my aunt used to work there when she was my age. It is a real piece of Americana and a family favorite that is worthy of the highest praise!
Pros: Has been around since 1926, so you know its good
Cons: Can be a little messy, but honestly that is half the fun

MacArthur's is very popular and seems to be the most crowded on the weekends (especially Sundays). Sometimes, due to the overwhelming amount of people, you may be in a line and face a small wait...but it is all worth it when you see the plethora of food ranging from variety of meats, sides, and de-lish desserts.
