Nestled in Chicago's vibrant Fulton Market, il Carciofo, Chef Joe Flamm’s love letter to Roman cuisine, dazzles with hand-rolled pastas and Roman-style pizzas right from its dedicated pasta lab.
"Joe Flamm is at it again. This might be the toughest reservation in Chicago, as the Chicago-area native has opened a Fulton Market restaurant focusing on regional Italian cuisine from Rome. There’s a pasta lab to ensure quality noodles, and Flamm is putting his spin on Roman-style square pizza." - Ashok Selvam
"Reservations are released a month out, so as long as you’re planning on eating about four weeks from now, you should be in the clear. If you want to eat there this week—well, hopefully you’re ok with sneaking out early from work or eating dinner right before bedtime. Most available slots (if there are any) are only from around 5pm or past 9pm." - John Ringor
"Get a taste of Rome on New Year’s Eve at this new restaurant from Top Chef winner Joe Flamm (Rose Mary, BLVD Steakhouse) with a family-style feast featuring dishes like gnocco fritto with prosciutto di Parma and trout with apples and black truffles. Reservations, available on OpenTable, are $150." - Lisa Shames, Eater Staff
