Medici On 57th

"This is a Hyde Park/UChicago staple that will please the college student in everyone. It serves all three meals, and has a menu reminiscent of The Cheesecake Factory’s in terms of length. There’s better food to be had elsewhere, but it’s perfect for large groups, with options ranging from pastries and egg scrambles to pizza, burgers, and quesadillas. In fact, this place serves pretty much everything, even alcohol after years of not—but you can still BYOB." - adrian kane

"This Hyde Park spot has a long menu, and some of the best things on it are their burgers. And all of them - from the bacon and blue cheese to the reuben burger - are available for takeout or delivery." - adrian kane

"Medici is offering freshly baked bread and pastries for both pickup and delivery." - adrian kane

"If you’re by the lake in Hyde Park, go to Medici. It’s a UChicago staple that serves all three meals and has a Cheesecake-Factory-length menu. This place is perfect for large groups, with options ranging from pastries to egg scrambles to pizza to burgers to quesadillas. They also have deep dish and thin crust, so feel free to get a mix of both. In fact, turn the whole table into an Old Country Buffet while you’re here - after playing beach volleyball that’s probably what you’ll want to do." - adrian kane

"Medici is a Hyde Park/UChicago staple, and it has a menu almost as long as The Cheesecake Factory’s. Come here when you’ve been getting on each other’s nerves, and can’t decide what kind of food you want. There are options ranging from pastries and egg scrambles to pizza, burgers, and quesadillas." - adrian kane
