great little secret  4 Star Rating - Very good

I love Enoteca Roma's! We were referred here by friends who happened upon them and couldn't wait to share their experience. If they hadn't told us about this wonderful little restaurant, we never would have found it. Such a treasure!

Hard to locate but Great Italian Restaurant 5 Star Rating - World class

The only tricky thing here is that there is no sign outside. its next to Letizias bakery. We are bi weekly Italian food eaters, and we find ourselves coming here twice a week. Great Pastas, great fish, great appettizers. Simple, yet incredible italian food. Also quite laid-back service while still knowlesdgeable about the wine.

We had a bithday dinner party for 15 friends and we did their family style dinner which was incredible reasonable (Maybe $35 bucks per person) and we left the place happily full!

Highly reccomended, if you can find it!!!!

Pros: Great for large group Dining
Cons: Hard to Find your first time - there is no sign

Best pasta in Wicker Park! 5 Star Rating - World class

So I hadn't been in this place in a long time, probably 2 years and I could not belive my taste buds! Not that that last time was bad, but the food was just the same old "wine-bar" food. I am pleasantly surprised to report that their menu is now awesome! great Bruchetta Flights (combination of 4), and their polenta too. It was served soft (creamy style) on a piece of granite and had a venison sauce served on top. It was delicious and like nothing else I've ever had. What really amazed me was the pastas. yes, plain old pasta whose flavors and textures were reenergized by the use of very simple yet well put together ingredients. We had spaghetti con le vongole which was a thick hollow noodel with little neck clams ina spicy carlic and olive oil sauce. It was burstig with flavor! My boyfriend had gnocchi (i thjink it was whole wheat gnocchi) in a cherrytomato, mozzarella sauce and he loved it. Ona second visit I had Bucatini Cecilia(SP?) it was a hollow lomg pasta noodle tossed inbutter parmesan sauce with Prosciutto. That dish unexpectedly blew us away and will guarantee our return!

Another plus was the server which reccomended the wine pairing. I appreciated not only the pairing, but the fact that he did not try to pair with the most expensive wines. All in all, a great experience!

Pros: pastas, Wine selection, service
Cons: Limited seating in winter months and tends to get packed

Overpriced, unimaginative 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

I'd been to Enoteca Roma once before, but my latest (and last!) experience was a definite disappointment. Wine list seemed to be interesting, but left me wanting to find a place with better selections. What you have to pay for these is unacceptable -- absolutely no quality!

And don't get me started on the food... while the ingredients were certainly fresh, the prices were way too high for simple pizza or bruschetta. Come on, guys... this is a slab of bread with some stuff on top!

Romantic? Sure. Nice setting? Unarguably. But not worth the price for substandard food and wine.

1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

Atrocious service. Decent food and nice concept, but lack of execution ruins the experience. Expect to leave annoyed, frustrated, and late.

Pros: good wine selections
Cons: speed of service, friendliness
