Alright Chicago, listen UP! 🙌 If you haven't been to @osteriaviastato you are missing out! This hidden gem 💎 is in plain site right in the heart of River North! They have authentic Italian that tastes absolutely amazing and the ambiance is perfect for a hot summer night. You know we love a good patio moment. 🔥 My favorite dish of the night was the rissoto it had fresh corn paired with panchetta. The salty and sweet combo was so good. You've gotta get there!

Via Stato never disappoints. The new additions to the menu are amazing. We were especially fond of the black lentils starter. As busy as they were with a large party, the service and the kitchen did not miss a step. Better yet, this remains one of our favorite places for the value for what is provided.

Excellent as always. Their thin crust pizza is by far our favorite along with everything else. The seasonal squash side dish was great. May be they will keep it on the menu

Had a very good anniversary dinner. We took advantage of a couple of happy hour specials on drinks and an appetizer pizza. The margarita pizza was excellent with a nice thin crispy crust, fresh tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil. For entrees I had the spaghetti pomodoro and my wife had the cacio e pepe. The pomodoro was good but a little disappointing. Was expecting fresh tomatoes, basil and garlic but instead got a tomato basil sauce. Meatballs were delicious but too small. My wife enjoyed the cacio e pepe. The portions were good and the service was excellent. Would have liked to try desserts but we were too full.
