When Dario Monni opened his Wicker Park counter-service restaurant and pastificio in 2019, it was quite a sight. Passersby stopped to press their noses against the window to watch Monni and his staff …
Tortello is always incredible. Fresh & handmade with DOP ingredients. The Busiate alla Puttanesca is so good and always cooked perfectly Al dente.

Ordered the Cacio e Pepe. Was very good and you can tell the it's is fresh and handmade. But it's crazy expensive for the portion size. There was maybe 8oz of pasta for 24.00. Seems like it's more of a small plates type place than an individual entree place.

Meat Lasagna for 2 was not baked and this was not clear. The other pasta was well cooked but the sauce was bland or had a chemical taste. Way over priced for the poor quality and quantity. Focaccia Ricotta & Honey was excellent though.

Insanely small portions. $80 for two tiny things of pasta & a sauce jar. Good food, but won't be ordering again.

Overall, great quality of food; however, I was very disappointed in the Kid's Pasta portion size. It was extremely small and not worth the still hefty price tag without any sides/drinks/specials etc. Would think twice about ordering again due to smaller portion sizes.
