Pelago - Chicago

I had never been to this restaurant and now it is closing and I am sad?; what a lovely upscale Italian spot!!????

Excellent food for our last visit to Pelago. It has been a favorite restaurant for many years. One thing I always hate, however, is that they don't bring your leftovers to the table. They leave them “up front.” But if the coat checker forgets to give it to you, you leave without them. Literally happens every time I eat there. The portions are huge that the leftovers could be two more meals, but they get left “somewhere” up front, a spot I've never seen. Also often the wine list is not updated so you pick a wine and they don't have it. But food is top notch, service during dinner is excellent. Will be sad to see this one go.

Disgusting restaurant and a true rip off. Will challenge my bill. Understand they r closing. Why am I not surprised? Disgusting everything! Should have known there were problems when we first sat down. Uproar upstairs. Not on paying attention to us even though I tried to flag them down and I am not subtle. Heads turned the other way. I have never, ever felt so ripped off from.

It was a lovely dinner. One of the best I've ever had anywhere. Delicious mushroom risotto and orata with thyme.

This is a review from Aug 27, 2022. We were 2 couples, we didn’t reserve an specific place and we were sat outside (nice patio to enjoy a Summer night). Our waiter was adorable and very professional, spoke Italian with one of the people on our party, suggested from appetizers through main course and dessert. The minor issue was when the check came, they were our of the wine we initially ordered, suggested another one on the same price, and we acceptes it. When the check came the wine charged was 3 times the price, which they took care right away when we noticed. For that reason I didn’t give a 5. The evening was pleasant and the food, delicious.
