  “Stopped by for a quick dinner - had the Ravioli and Brussels. Ravioli was rich and creamy. Flavor was a little flat, the balsamic on top was a good highlight but barely offset the richness of the cream sauce. Presentation could be better. …”

  “Went for a nice girls dinner and it absolutely exceeded our expectations. The setting and decor are beautiful and the service was fantastic. Steve and Chris both were so friendly and made the entire night so memorable. The food was also fantastic, no one had a single complaint. Fantastic wine/cocktails. All in all a 5 star experience”

  “I wasn’t particularly impressed with the menu. We visited on New Year’s Eve, and while it was fine overall, it didn’t have the romantic, lounge-style vibe I was hoping for. …”

  “We had a amazing time on New Year's eve. Everything was top notch - the food, service, ambience. The highlight was meeting chef Chiappetti. He was kind and generous taking the time to talk to you. He even brought up his signature olive oil cake to try. And it was delicious! I am very sad that it was the first and last time we saw him as he unexpectedly passed away a day later. Such a tremendous loss! We will be going to the Albert for Valentine's day and will raise a glass to the chef.”

  “Great place for a quick drink or a full meal! Came on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and our server Sam was fantastic! Great service and I was impressed by his poise carrying such large trays of food & drinks!! There was a nice lil jazz band playing too! Crudo was our favorite, surprisingly spicey but very tastey & presentation was great! Risotto & pastas were fantastic as well. The Vesuvius cocktail was so fun & tastey to release the smoke! They had a menu of crostinis that come with the martinis!! I thought it was a garnish sized one but it was a whole snack! Great!”

  “Their new Brunchissimo is delightful! A refreshing new concept with coastal Italian brunch. Loved the carts that come earlier with bruschetta and salads to choose from. The egg sandwich was out of this world as were the golden eggs. Had to get their pizza and that pistachio dessert. Cocktails are fab! Strawberry one was my fav. @chicagopescetarian”

  “I can confidently say that dining at The Albert was one of the best meals and service of my life. From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable — a perfect blend of thoughtful service and exceptional food. The standout moment? My waiter curated the entire meal for me, carefully selecting each dish to complement the next. Every recommendation hit the mark. I started with the ahi tuna, followed by tender asparagus, flavorful chicken, and perfectly roasted Brussels sprouts. Each dish was beautifully prepared and balanced — both in flavor and presentation. The service was not only attentive but impressively intuitive. It felt less like ordering off a menu and more like being guided through a personalized culinary journey. Huge thank you to Steve. The Albert is, without question, a must-try for anyone in Chicago looking for a dining experience that’s both elevated and welcoming. I’ll be back — and bringing friends.”
