fine wine, food and service...a truly first class dining experience. When you want the best, Va Pensiero is the place to go whether on the North Shore or anywhere. Va Pensiero is beyond compare. - maryann, 12/25/2007

Last night my husband, another couple, and I had one of our best dining experiences in quite a while. From the moment we were greeted by the professional staff we were treated royally and the service can only be described as on point. The atmosphere is as romantic as I had read and extremely comfortable. The four of us ordered different appetizers, different entrees and



different desserts and we raved about each mouthful. The prices are certainly reasonable for this kind of dining experience. As we were leaving, we were already talking about when we could go again. Outstanding! - Colleen, 01/07/2007

No review can fully prepare you for the delights to be experienced at Va Pensiero. 'Italian Restaurant' conjures up images of checked tablecloths, Chianti, pizza and pasta and grated parmesean cheese - This is *not* your father's Italian restaurant! Think *gourmet* Italian restaurant. Think fine wines, gracious service, desserts that delight. Think 'Special Occasion' - occasions like your parent's 50th wedding anniversary, Graduation from Harvard, being Knighted by the Queen - yes - It's *that* special. This is easily one of the finest restaurants 'in' Chicago - it rivals, no, overshadows most of the establishments downtown. There are dishes for every taste here - beef eaters, fish, vegetarian can all walk away feeling catered to and not merely 'accomodated'. The cellar is extensive, the desserts are to die for and the staff pampers you with it's attentiveness. - Val V, 09/14/2005
