Territory Kitchen

What a wonderful, unexpected dinner! My girlfriend and I were trying to find somewhere new to eat dinner, and this place popped up on the map! We said let's go and headed out! After thinking it was in the Square, and then realizing it's on Western (just cut through Fleet Feet or Garcias), we found it. We sat at the "Chef's table" and had the best experience. Chris and Chef were both very friendly and welcoming. We started with Meatballs and loved them. Then we ordered two entrees off the specials, a rigatoni dish and a plate of meats, with fries and a salad. We loved it all. Food and experience are all "yes" for us.

Delicious food with a cozy atmosphere! Felt like taking a quick trip to Europe with 2 personal chefs who are extremely passionate about their craft. Ordered the meatballs, pork schnitzel, spaghetti alla carbonara, and finished it off with the cannoli. We loved everything! Will definitely be back!

You need to check out Territory! I've been there a handful of times and am blown away by the delicious food every time. They have a great variety of authentic Italian and German cuisine. Additionally, the owners are very attentive and go out of their way to make sure you are having an excellent dining experience. Great date night spot and awesome addition to the Lincoln Square neighborhood! Pictured are the sausage variety platter and gnocchi, which were previous specials. But you cannot go wrong with the Spaghetti alla Carbonara, Frittatina Napoletana, or Lincolnwurst.

Wonderful small Italian kitchen with very close to authentic Italian cooking. The al dente pasta and the potato pizza are exquisite. The staff accommodated a big group of 9 people with kids on Dec 30 too.

I got the carbonara and cannoli. Tasted just like the food in Italy. My husband got the Lincoln Wurst which was also amazing. The owners were very nice. The food was amazing, and the portions for our main dishes were big. So glad this is in my neighborhood. It’s a must try!

Fantastic small restaurant with very cool owners. We were the only clients and almost closing, and they took the time to listen to our request and prepared a fantastic feast. The pasta is excellent. Highly recommended

We got the kartoffel salat, which was really terrific. Two of us got the Lincoln Wurst which is killer, and another got the rigatoni bolognese. All really great meals, big portions, and nice folks running the place.

Phenomenal concept with stellar food! Can't decide between German or Italian? Get both! The Spaghetti al Pomodoro was 100% perfect and the Western Panino was a dream. Great service & super friendly. Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Finally came here and was delighted by the whole experience! It was a meatless Friday for me, so one of the chefs made me an off menu sweet pepper pasta with pink sauce (tomato + a touch of cream). It was fantastic! We really enjoyed the Caesar salad and will definitely order the bruschetta again. BYOB here! Looking forward to coming back to try more dishes. These guys are super kind and want you to have a great meal. If you've been having a bad streak with customer service you won't have that issue here. They'll take great care of you!

I've been wanting to stop by since they opened and today finally got the chance. It's quite a lovely space, the walls are painted royal blue which compliments the greenery by the window. contrasting the flavorful red sauce, which pairs well with the bright and welcoming personality of the chef. just a wonderful experience! the food is great, the pizza was gooey with melted cheese but the crust is still buttery and flaky and almost shortbread like. the sandwhich is so light to eat, every bite makes you want to bite into it more and before you know it, it's gone lol and yes I did eat all of that. what I really wanted to see is more pictures when I come on to yelp so I made sure I took some. definitely recommend! it's 5 stars for a reason if you ever crave a sandwich or some pizza, check this place out!! I haven't tried the pasta yet but definitely will lol

Authentic Roman carbonara made by a chef who totally gets it! No cream! The rigatoni with sausage was excellent too. This tiny restaurant packs a lot into their food. Try the potato and rosemary pizza too - Single serve size or a nice appetizer to share. BYOB keeps the bill down. There are only two 4 tops and two doubles so plan your outing accordingly. Two seats at the counter too. Friendly staff.

The adorable little redhead chef was absolutely to die for. Literally the best service ever. If you're looking for fair priced food and amazing customer service look no further than the Territory Kitchen. Omg word's can't describe how amazing this place is!!!!‍

Excellent new Italian in Lincoln Square. Super fresh ingredients, daily specials, byob, small but comfortable dining room. Roman style pizza is top notch, and the suppli appetizers are must try. Super authentic!

What a scrumptious find in northern Chicago! The caprese was fresh, the pasta flavorful, and the cannoli filled to the brim with crème. The service was also top notch, you could tell the guys have a passion for this. Would recommend for anyone looking for a good carboload prior to a local 5k.

The Schnitzel Pizzaiola and the western were very good staff was friendly would recommend

Had a great carbonara and cannoli that tasted just like the food in Italy. My husband had the Lincoln Wurst which was amazing. Big portion sizes for the main dishes. Friendly owners. Great addition to the neighborhood and will be back again!

Amazing food and service. The owners are so nice. The place feels like home. It is BYOB so remember to bring beer or wine. The menu is a bit of a hodgepodge. The pastas are great and made with love. The tiramisu and cannoli are probably some of the best in town. Looking forward to coming back for currywurst

Great addition to the neighborhood. I have been with my family several times and it's now my 7yr old daughter's favorite. Panini, rigatoni, fries, wurst, all so so good. Most of all is the graciousness of the Chef and staff. They make the experience like dinner at a friends house.

Went here for a date night and had the BEST time! The food was amazing and the service was great. We brought our own wine and had the most perfect dinner outside. We will definitely be back!

If you want delicious food and are not too concerned about ambience (byob) look no further. Delicious food prepared and served by the owner. We had tomato salad, pickled veggies, German potato salad, goulash, carbonara and pasta pomodora which was all delicious. Great neighborhood place which should be a favorite. Will def be back.

Delicious food and very friendly owners. I highly recommend, they blew our expectations out of the water!

Wonderful pair Chef Vittorio and Chris debut with an surprisingly varied menu in an intimate setting. BYOB to boot! Delicious and hope to return soon!

I really want to support local businesses so I ordered delivery. What arrived was a small box with 4 pieces of somewhat warm pizza that was just ok. My fault for not reading the menu properly. It says 6inch pizza. So 4 slices of warm not so tasty pizza for $23.00 after tax, delivery,fees and tip. Way too much money for not much food.

Wanted to try this place because I noticed the chef from I Monelli was an owner. If you ever had a delicious meal at I Monelli, then you should definitely try Territory Kitchen. Not exactly the same menu, but so many of the wonderful flavors that I have missed are here to be enjoyed! Their crispy and spectacular thin crust pizzas have superb sauce and toppings. Their pasta is packed with flavor. Interesting daily specials. Have started working my way through the menu. And they are very vegetarian friendly. Highly recommend.

We ordered arancini and empanadas and both were extremely bland and did not have much taste. For dinner I ordered spaghetti alla carbonara and it also was very bland. My partner ordered the pasta special which was the best part of the meal. I think in general all of the dishes need more seasoning and salt to make them taste better. On a better note, the owners were very attentive and gracious.

One of only two locations in Chicago where you can order a Chilean completo hot dog, and they do it justice!

Great service and the food was fantastic!!! We will be back!! I highly recommend you stop in!!

Great place! Ordered food for pickup and was ready when I arrived. Had the crostini with bratwurst and sauerkraut! Excellent. Will be back soon!

Great little restaurant, great owners. Everything we had was delicious. The carbonara was SO good - I can't stop thinking about it. A great addition to the neighborhood!
