Reviews for Macello Cucina di Puglia in Chicago, IL
This place has a really cool rustic interior and the service we had was very hospitable and friendly. The cuisine is... interesting, and I was surprised as to how good the pizza was with the mortadella on top. I didn’t like the risotto because itwas so hard, but the truffle sausage pasta was really good and creamy. I would come back her for the vibe and some hearty pasta. Read more
This place was such a magical find! With a deli in front and a gorgeous restaurant in the back, it was such a fun night! The... food was amazing and the staff was fantastic! We had a large group and they were able to keep up with us! They have THE bestprosciutto I have ever had in my life. I'm drooling just thinking about it! Read more
I’ll add to the previous reviews as this place is an absolute gem only hidden by its slightly off the beaten path location.... I’ve been all over the west loop and never had heard of it despite them being in business for 12 years. If you want a perfectmash up of authentic Italian and true to spirit west loop vibes this place is it. Has the deli counter front with tomato sauceall in the window. A beautiful bar to the right of a massive open fire pizza oven. Overhead is the old factor skylight, not tomention quite a few other remnants of the buildings past life in the meat packing district. We chose to sit on the back porchwhich was just right given the late Summer temps. The food was incredibly delicious. We started with their delicious bread andoil. We also went with a traditional wedding soup which brought my dining companion right back to her Youngstown roots ????????.From there we opted for a truffle pasta that wasn’t overbearing in the slightest (as we know many can be with truffle) as wellas a classic cavatelli. I’m sad this is the first time I’ve been here. Get off the main drag of restaurant row and giveMacello a try!! Read more
Wonderful Italian food at this restaurant in the west loop. We enjoying visiting on a friends birthday and the service and the... food exceeded our expectations. Thank you staff for taking good care of our big party. We stayed there about an hour after theyclosed and we were never rushed out. This is something that is much appreciated as we gathered with some friends we hadn’tseen in quite some time. Read more

The only thing I am testing positive for is pasta, pizza and prosciutto at Macello! Macello is a family-friendly fine dining... restaurant specializing in Pugliese cuisine. Coming here you will find all of the comforts of a home-cooked meal without any ofthe mess. From the two wood-burning ovens kept fired to the finest ingredients, at Macello you will find a taste of the Adriaticlike no other. My favorites were the prosciutto and Macello pizza! The prosciutto just melted in your mouth and I really lovedthe toppings and crust of the pizza! The decor is really cool and unique inside as well with these giant globe looking lights. Iwould highly recommend this place to my family and friends! Read more
