Price: Very Expensive•Italian•4.8(16)Antico is an independent, chef-owned Northern Italian restaurant in Bucktown, Chicago, celebrated for our fresh, seasonal ingredients and rustic yet elegant atmosphere.

Those we don't make are imported directly from the best sources in Italy, such as our Prosciutto di Parma, Parmigiano Reggiano, and Mozzarella di Bufala from Campania. Consistent with our approach to food, we carefully select Northern Italian wines from smaller, passionate winemakers who share our commitment to quality. By selecting wines from the same specific regions in Northern Italy that inspire our menu items, we take advantage of the historical relationship created by centuries of both food and wine evolving together to create the perfect match.

- AAnaChicago / Illinois •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days ago🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We came to Elia to celebrate a bittersweet occasion — the birthday anniversary of our beloved late pet, Jan. What could’ve been a heavy day turned into something truly special thanks to the warm atmosphere, phenomenal food, and genuinely thoughtful service. Our server, Ebrar, was incredible. He was kind, attentive, and made us feel so welcomed from the moment we sat down. Even though we were absolutely full, he encouraged us to try the Cotton & Cream with pistachio ice cream — made in-house — and it was outstanding. Creamy, light, and full of texture and flavor. And just when we thought the night couldn’t get any sweeter, Ebrar generously sent us home with a bit of baklava. It was such a kind and thoughtful gesture that meant a lot to us on an emotional day. Every dish we had was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. Elia’s vibe is comfortable yet elevated — the perfect place for a meaningful dinner or a memorable night out. We will absolutely be back. Whether you’re celebrating joy or honoring a memory, Elia delivers an experience that feels personal and special. Highly recommend booking a table — this place is a gem.More infoEliaPrice: Moderate• Mediterranean• Bucktown / Wicker Park•4.6
