Cozy Italian eatery with red-sauce pastas, veal, and Sunday gravy
"Italian food and Astral may not be the likeliest of combinations, but soon you could be using tequila and tortellini in the same sentence. This cozy corner eatery where Oak Lawn transitions into Highland Park has been wowing neighbors with its pasta dishes and veal specialties for years. Add to your repertoire an Astral Italian spritz, made with Astral Reposado Tequila, which could (and should) be your new pre-dinner go-to." - Steven Craig Lindsey
"Stepping into Barsotti’s, a Southern Italian trattoria in Highland Park, I ordered the traditional polpettone (Italian-style meatloaf) and settled into a cozy meal that tasted like an imaginary nonna made; owned by Julian Barsotti of the Michelin Bib–listed restaurant Nonna, the menu also features classics such as lasagna Bolognese and spaghetti and meatballs, and the atmosphere felt warm and inviting." - AFAR
"A neighborhood Italian joint can be Michelin-worthy. This spot on Oak Lawn Avenue is a gem in an area packed with great restaurants. Open for lunch and dinner, it serves red-sauce pasta inspired by Southern Italy: A go-to for Sunday gravy, chopped antipasti salad, lasagna Bolognese, and the chicken Parmesan with vodka sauce. The food relies on rustic inspirations and the restaurant’s decor follows that lead with funky wallpaper and oversized red booths that make the dining room feel like a home away from home." - Courtney E. Smith
"In Oak Lawn, it dominated the news cycle with its rebranding from being called Carbone, after the New York City phenomenon made a splashy debut in town in 2022." - Courtney E. Smith
"Owned by Julian Barsotti, one of his Italian restaurants landed recommended status; the write-up notes his two Italian joints quietly serve excellent food day in and day out, reflecting steady, every-day quality rather than fleeting trend-driven popularity." - Courtney E. Smith
