Dimmi Dimmi Corner Italian

Dimmi Dimmi is 10s across the board. The hazelnut espresso martini was perfect - not too sweet. I am an avid mozzarella stick enthusiast and these past the test - cheese pull and flavoring was divine. They served some of the best shrimp I’ve ever had and the pizza was the perfect consistency. Our server, Madison, was wonderful and took excellent care of us. Dimmi Dimmi is a must try.

Such a delicious spot! We got the sesame focaccia, Caesar salad, gnudi, and cheese pizza. Everything was delicious! I will say the portions were a little smaller than expected (for the salad and gnudi especially) but taste was 10/10 on everything. Our server Ronni was also amazing and so nice! We will definitely be back!!

Dimmi Dimmi, a thoughtful take on modern neighborhood Italian! With refreshing twists on the classics and a mastery of the staples, all while welcoming you like family; Dimmi Dimmi knocks it out of the park. We were privileged enough to be invited to a friends and family event, so while some things may change overtime, I believe the essentials will stay the same; a customer focused hip Neighbourhood spot with a fantastic menu, refreshing cocktails, and phenomenal staff. We first enjoyed the Hazelnut Espresso Martini and the Ruby Manhattan for drinks. They were balanced nicely and the chocolate-hazelnut addition to the espresso martini was superb! For starters, we enjoyed the Caesar Salad and the Focaccia with ricotta and honey. We were particularly impressed with the Hamachi Crudo as it was very fresh with quality fish that you could taste and was quite spicy! For our next course we ordered the Stuffed Shells and the Meatballs. Both were knockouts! The Meatballs were so tender and perfectly cooked! I’ve never seen Stuffed Shells on a menu before, they are a family favorite! Loved this! We also got the Salmon Vesuvio and crispy potatoes. The Vesuvio sauce was velvety and smooth, the salmon cooked perfectly! The Crispy Potatoes were executed perfectly, crispy outside, soft inside, with a good kick of heat! We ended with the chocolate cake! This cake was incredible! Velvety soft, rich and decadent, the vanilla gelato really finishes this last bite quite nicely! Overall, the menu is fantastic and hats off to the entire culinary team! Service was always quick and very friendly. Lots of table touches from all staff! Ronni, our main server, was phenomenal. She felt like an old friend even though we had just met. I was incredibly impressed by her knowledge, kindness and ability to stay composed on such a momentous first night of service! Bravo to her!

My family and I had the pleasure of visiting Dimmi Dimmi last month on our first visit to Chicago. It was probably one of the best dining experience I have ever had. We wanted to explore the local food scene in Chicago away from the tourist area. Chicago has many neighborhoods and Dimmi Dimmi is located in the beautiful Lincoln Park area. Super family-friendly, clean, and safe. As a foodie, the Executive Chef Matt Eckfield, trained in NYC kitchens like Carbone and he's back to open his first solo spot with CRG in Lincoln Park. We knew right away we wanted to jump on this opportunity and took the 4:30PM reservation on a Wednesday night. We got there a little early before the restaurant had opened and one of the staff came out and invited us in early so that we didn't have to be out in the windy weather. I had both my grade school children with me so as a parent, I really appreciated the kind gesture. Talking about first impression! We then got seated in a booth and was immediately blown away with the decorations in the restaurant. It had a bit of a classic Italian modern feel to it and you just immediately felt right at home! We ordered the following: Sesame Focaccia - you must order the ricotta and honey! It's only right if you have it with the ricotta and honey. Italia Beef Carpaccio - it melts in your mouth like butter. The giardiniera adds so much flavor and balance everything out. Pepperoni Pizza - deep dish style=NO, tavern style=YES! Imagine paper thin crust with top of the line cheese and pepperoni. What a treat! Salmon Vesuvio - Heaven on earth. The salmon was cooked to perfection, not to well down just perfect. The sauce balance the flavor and was so buttery. Out of this world delicious. Rigatoni Amatriciana with a side of meatball - STAR of the show. It looks so simple and plain pasta with red sauce. You're wrong! The guanciale adds so much flavor that it was hands down one of the best Italian bite/dish I have ever had in my life. Dimmi Dimmi is why Chicago is on the map of good cuisine. I'm not exaggerating. If you want good food, not in the tourist area downtown riverwalk, then run (don't walk) to Dimmi Dimmi in Lincoln Park. Cherry on top, Chef Bill Kim and Danny McGowan, both CRG leadership team came out and spoke to our family. As a family of 4, we were too full for dessert and decided to skip it. The team ended up giving us a shot of lemoncello and sorbet as a courtesy thank you for dining with us. I felt like I knew the staff and the team personally. The service was outstanding. Thank you for a wonderful experience, Dimmi Dimmi. Sending love from The Stanford Family in Atlanta. We will definitely see you again and highly recommend Dimmi Dimmi to other foodies out there.

Seriously killer restaurant. Pizza? Gotta be top 3 tavern. House made sausage, thin and crispy crust with good seasoning on there and crispy burnt edges. Savory sauce on the pizza with a 4 cheese blend and some caramelized onions were seriously good. They have other good stuff, I saw some tables ordering salads that looked real good and the apps were delicious but with pizza this good I would definitely prioritize that. Great service too, really nice staff but will definitely be back for the pizza.

Amazing dining experience. Very cozy but spacious interior. All the dishes people rave about live up to the hype. Insanely light but flavorful mozzarella sticks, a pillowy soft and rich ricotta gnudi, a cracker thin but robust thin crust pizza, and amazing desserts. plus wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable service. Can't wait to go back.

Really enjoyed this place. Very cute, old school vibe. Service was great, dirty martini was excellent. We ordered the focaccia, Caesar, chicken parm (ponded thin, breaded to perfection) and the stuffed vodka shells (our fave!). Will definitely be back.

This place was super cute and the staff were so friendly. Sonja was our server and she was so knowledgeable about the menu and super sweet the whole time. The food tasted amazing and they even made me a drink that wasn’t on the menu. Amazing people and atmosphere. Thank you guys!

We loved the ambiance as soon as we walked in. They did a great job! The food was very delicious. To top everything else off, the service was fantastic. Our waitress was very friendly, professional, and extremely efficient. Service can make or break a meal. In our case, Ronni H was fantastic. Her suggestions were spot on! We will definitely be back. I look forward to next year when the patio is open!

Great ambience, food and cocktails! We got the focaccia, sausage, lobster and chocolate cake. All of it was excellent! Not a single bad bite. Can't wait to go back and try more off their menu.

incredible, fantastic neighborhood Italian. crispy potatoes , Orecchiette chefs kiss!

12/10 experience. Food was all top tier and the service (Alee) was even better. Caesar - 4.5/5.0 - Can't go wrong with a Caesar salad. This one was well dressed and had extra hints of lemon. Quality. Hamachi Crudo - 5.0/5.0 - They basically do a chili crisp with Calabrian chiles. Not overly spicy or overpowering. Great, clean dish. Clams Casino - 5.0/5.0 - SoooooOoO good. If you're someone who doesn't like smoky flavors you should probably skip this one. It has great smoky notes from the bacon and the crumb is soaked in clam liquor. Fresh lemon over the top - I can eat 2 dozen of these alone. Pizza - 5.0/5.0 - I'd put it up in the tier with some of the best tavern style pizzas in the city (Middlebrow, Pizzamici, etc). Maybe not better but easily as good. Orecchiette with Sausage - 4.5/5.0 - Really good spicy tomato cream sauce with homemade large orecchiette. It's incredibly craveable. Ribeye Cacciatore - 5.0/5.0 - Mushroom powder crusted delmonico. Tons of umami and you need the tomatoes and peppers to provide some acid to this rich dish. The sauce is incredible. Could've used a sprinkle of flaky salt to finish but overall an unreal dish. We're locals so we will be back. Make the resy if you can get it. If you can't put your name in for the bar where it's first come first serve. Cheers!

Ohh! This used to be Taratino's that was here for 30 years. Remember that! This is from the people that's behind Urban Belly, Michael Jordan Steakhouse, Sol Toro in Connecticut and etc. I had their fries. The staff and service are dimmiriffic. I'll be back for dessert. PS. I was the first one to review!

Oh Dimmi your so fine your so fine you blow my mind. Oh Dimmi. Every neighborhood in Chicago should have a Dimmi and at one point might. Cool space great well trained staff. Lets get real it about the food and we had an exceptional meal Proper cocktail to start with one of the best blue cheese olives I've ever had. Dimmi salad and the clams were first rate. Gnudi pasta was the best pasta dish I've had in Chicago. I've had a lot Deserts were also great. I would like a weekly standing reservation???????? Shout out to the chefs we all know Bill Kim can cook but who knew he could kill it in the Italian style. Continued success!!!! P.S. Roscoe Village needs a Dimmi Dimmi

Get every single thing you can here. I had the BEST experience ever! The best chef, the nicest waitresses and bar tenders. Every food item was AMAZING! The sauces to every single dish were mouth watering. I will be coming back probably once a month I love this place so much. even basic things like mozzarella sticks were elevated. I recommend getting a reservation because they seem to get busy, but the energy inside is wonderful. 100/10 place

TL; DR: Great drinks and Italian food Great place to have some solid cocktails and yummy Italian food. The drinks were top notch and the food was just enough to fill your tummy without being too full. The Vespa was a great spirit forward drink and the Hugo Spritz was refreshing. The focaccia with honey and ricotta was delicious. The vodka pizza could be shared or a solo meal that will fill you up without needing a nap. The vodka stuffed shells was delicious. The place was very friendly and buzzing with a lot of people. I cannot wait to go back and try more items

Amazing! Food and service on point. Very inviting with the feel of a neighborhood spot with comforting Italian food that is definitely elevated. Everything our group had was phenomenal. Blows other Chicago-Italian restaurants out of the water. So happy to have a Lincoln Park spot. Fresh and bright seasonal ingredients. Eggplant parm the best! Definitely try the polenta, mozzarella sticks, panzanella salad, meatballs, cavatelli, and EVERY dessert. Run to this place!!!

We found this place on a recent trip to Chicago and a 20 minute brisk walk from the Lincoln Park Zoo and what a find! It was full but my daughter and I scored two seats at the bar. We started with the focaccia and olive oil, freshly baked, and the panzella salad - also delicious. My daughter is dairy free so ordered the AGLIO E OLIO PEPERONCINO (garlic shrimp and pasta) and I had the best eggplant parmigiana I have ever eaten with a nice glass of the Routestock Cabernet Sauvignon. The bartender (whose name I didn't catch) had great suggestions for our meals and was so knowledgeable and friendly. The portions are generous so we had leftovers. Wonderful experience - hope to come back in my next visit!

Very good. The relish tray with foccacia is worth every penny. Best foccacia I've ever eaten. Food was excellent and service great. Highly recommend.

Excellent meal, and a very well put together menu where each course and style is broken down smartly. Alexandra was a great waitress and made sure we had an enjoyable meal! Especially liked the focaccia trio, chicken parm, and the tiramisu. Will be back!

Great new Lincoln Park spot. The service and staff were incredible. The food is outstanding as well. The chicken parm is destined to be one of the top in the city. Great cocktails too!

I rarely give five stars but this place fired on all cylinders. Pleasant staff, great decor and table spacing, nice established vibe and excellent food. We enjoyed the focaccia, pizza vodka, and chicken parmigiana the most with deliciously prepared branzino among many dishes we tried. The chicken was probably the best CP I've had with a perfectly cooked thin schnitzel and great sauce. The chocolate cake was too good to pass and none, including crumbs, was left on the plate. Definitely will return!

The food was incredible. Very fresh ingredients. The Caesar salad dressing and cheese was great, the Crutons are incredible, locally sourced from Publican. The eggplant Parmesan is unlike any I've ever had before. The bartenders were so kind. The manager(?) owner(?) was walking around greeting everyone. Wonderful experience. Will definitely be trying the pizza next time!

Yasmeen was amazing! Dad said it's the best pizza he ever had. Delicious food. Ricotta pasta, stuffed shells. So good. Give it a try!

Overall, for being open for only a week i had a very pleasant experience. We went with the focaccia with ricotta, Caesar salad, and sausage pizza. The food was a solid 8/10 but with time i think it has the potential to get better. Very good service and ambiance though!

5 Star for both food and service. We ordered: Focaccia bread with ricotta and honey, Dimmi salad, Funghi Bianco Pizza and the spicy vodka stuffed shell pasta. All amazing specially the bread and pasta. Server was very nice. Service was fast and complementary limoncello at the end of the meal was a nice touch to end a perfect dining experience!

The service was fantastic. We sat at the bar and had a terrific meal. I would HIGHLY suggest the pizza, salads and gnudi.

Great new restaurant! food was amazing! server from Seattle made the evening great had the stuffed shells at her recommendation they were great
