“There are wonderful servers, then there are servers who elevate the dining experience into the stratosphere. Nate is one such who now belongs on my (rather short) list of amazing restaurant staff. He was friendly, knowledgeable, funny, efficient, and it was delightful watching him service his station. And oh, the food! I had the crudo sampler, three types of fish: tuna, yellowtail, and snapper (? Not sure about the snapper) Artistically plated, excruciatingly fresh, and delicate flavors. The olive oil focaccia was hot and crispy out of the oven, a lovely counterpoint to the crudo. My husband had the crab tagliatelle, a bit spicy as advertised and so many layers of flavor. The other two items we ordered were the Margherita pizza and the squash blossom pizza - both were excellent, but the edge goes to the amazing Marzano tomato flavor of the Margherita sauce. We shared the arugula salad, and we had two desserts, the strawberry sundae with a decadent basil gelato, and the afogatto vanilla ice cream with an espresso pour. Drinks were just as tasty as they were beautiful - my Witches Brew was crisp and light and utterly delicious. If I lived in the area this place would be a regular! Absolutely recommended!”
“Stopped for lunch on a Sunday. We had a 2 year old with us and they were very accommodating. They had both a highchair and booster seat available. Our cocktails were fun and tasty. We ordered the focaccia for an appetizer. The ricotta that came with it was delicious. Our main dishes were the bucatini, the rigatoni, pizza and January Pasta special. All were very good.”
“In our search for the best neopolitan style pizza in Chicago, Coda di Volpe is certainly a hit. My partner really enjoyed her gluten free focaccia style pizza and my margherita with sausage was equally delicious. Fantastic crust! Surprisingly classy and upscale ambiance. Our server was decent but the restaurant was busy on a Saturday night and our drinks sat empty for quite a while. Their pastas looked delicious and warrant another visit!”
“Went for restaurant week and enjoyed the food! The hazelnut sauce with the pork was incredible, and the octopus flatbread was 10/10. All desserts hit. My favorite was the lemon ricotta fritelle. Staff were very kind and attentive to allergies and dietary restrictions. Shoutout to Louis and Jesús who made us feel welcome. Give CDV a try!”
“Coda di Volpe delivered an excellent experience. The service was outstanding—while celebrating the purchase of our new home, we were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary bottle of wine after ordering one, which was a thoughtful and generous touch. The food was very good, especially the cacio e pepe pasta, which was amazing, and the chocolate dessert was absolutely unforgettable. The ambiance was warm and inviting. Highly recommend.”
