    A bit disappointed. We haven’t been to anteprima in a few years and the food was just not as it used to be. Pastas we’re too Al dente, not flavorful and lacking in variety. Very underwhelming. Did they change chefs ?

    Great food, though I should’ve ordered a different pasta. Appetizers were enjoyed by all of us. We hadn’t been in a while, since we don’t live nearby anymore, but we plan to return.

    From the host accommodating our grown group to our wonderful server Armando to the phenomenal (and phenomenally priced) drinks & delicacies at Anteprima, all I can say is wow, what a gem! Our friends’ local Italian spot was a perfect location for a shared meal over great conversation with dear friends we hadn’t seen in too long. Service giving us time but also keeping the drinks and food coming at a steady pace. What a great start to our return to Chicago visit. The daily specials and regular menu both full of delicious starters and entrees including the chicken liver, eggplant, ravioli, skatewing, meatloaf, cod, charred broccolini, cauliflower, Orchiette (nice spice!). Will definitely return to this Andersonville neighborhood gem.

    The food at this lovely neighborhood restaurant is so much better than it needs to be---it is exquisite, high-end Italian cuisine. I eat at Anteprima frequently and always look forward to it. They have rotating specials so there's always something new and seasonal to try.

    We love Antiprima! I believe this was our 4th anniversary (out of 4) celebrated with them! As always, the food was delicious, the staff were charming and wonderful, and the experience was a true pleasure. We love our rare moments of dining out these days and love making Anteprima a part of our ritual for enjoying a fine moment!

    Anteprima has been a favorite for many years. The food and service are consistently outstanding. I tend to order fish entrees—they never disappoint—and I ALWAYS order the grilled octopus starter. So very good!

    Everything was the best it could be except the noise. It was very hard to have a conversation until it started emptying out. Thankfully our reservation was 8:15. Why is it normal to have a dinner at almost any very nice restaurant in Europe and have a conversation? And not here?

    Our dinner was lovely from the minute we were met at the door by the ever friendly GM Andrea to the end of the evening. Our server was courteous and very helpful in describing each dish that we had questions about and assisting us in making our choices. Each of us enjoyed our individual dinners and after dinner drinks without being rushed through the process. Just a great neighborhood spot that we love to take friends to.

    Anteprima is a favorite Andersonville restaurant for us. Our meal and drinks were both delicious! Ambience is good, tables are fairly close together but it is easy to converse and the overall vibe is friendly and cozy. This place consistently delivers with attentive service, great food, and very reasonable pricing for a high-level dining experience.

    The food is always excellent. There are so many great choices. Their grilled octopus appetizer is outstanding. We also shared a small plate of Orecchiette pasta with spicy lamb sausage as another appetizer. Many great fish choices for the entrees - Cod, Trout, Skatewing, Tuna, and Salmon. Both the Cod and Trout were excellent. Our waitress, Andrea, was EXCELLENT and was a great help with recommendations. I highly recommend AntePrima!

    We come here once a month as our go to date spot. Preface by saying our last several meals were amazing. It’s been our favorite for years. How the manager lady handled tonight was uncalled for while putting the onus on me after. We ordered beef and vegetable soup, a ragú pasta and lamb chops. The people who sat next to us ordered 10 minutes after us and got two courses before we got soup. 10 minutes later the pasta arrived. We waited but they said go ahead and we did and it was good. We then after finishing waited 25 more minutes. The lamb finally arrived and looked like a chicken satay from a local Thai restaurant. We literally didn’t touch the plate. The manager took the plate away, didn’t even offer to keep the awful portion at the table and claimed the best route was to just take it from the check and that’s it. By that time we had to leave and left hungry on an anniversary night. What an awful way to handle this. Out once a month date night will be spent somewhere else. She was BEYOND RUDE. Spend your money elsewhere.

    We were very disappointed in our experience here. It was the first time back since the COVID experience. The room was hot and crowded. More importantly, the noise level was intolerable. If the food had been excellent we could have overlooked these issues. It wasn’t. In addition, we felt rushed by the waitstaff.
