Had an absolutely lovely dinner here with my parent's. The food (especially the dishes marked as favorites) was just delicious. It was a quiet atmosphere with music at just the right volume. Highly recommend.

This is the best Italian food I’ve had in Chicago. Hands down. I grew up in an Italian immigrant community and have been looking for food that reminds me of everything I ate as a kid. This is it. Don’t be scared by the old decor, or quiet atmosphere. This food will knock you off your feet.

This was a really cute date night that we did. The atmosphere and everything else about the setting and tableware was fantastic. It was quite cramped and very loud. But a lovely evening overall!
However I did feel like it was a tad bit pricey and smaller portions than I preferred. However if you want an elegant place, great lighting and cute tableware. This is your place! If you'd like a cheaper more affordable option with larger quantities I would keep looking.

Really good neighborhood restaurant. Everything we tried was delicious starting with Polenta as appetizer to their specialty pastas all the way to amaretto cake for dessert. Service is quick and friendly. Highly recommended if you are in this area of Chicago looking for a homy Italian restaurant.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating.
The food was fresh and delicious.
I got a French martini, the Cesar salad and the penne al pomodorro Secco.
Also had the calamari which was the perfect texture.
Best Cesar salad I've ever had.

I celebrated 🎈 my birthday🍸 at Anna's. The staff really worked well together at making me feel right at home. I couldn't believe how delicious the grilled pork chops and egg Parmesana were. Plus, the Lemon drop martini 🍸 is amazing. 👍 Everything was so delicious and my dining experience beautiful at Anna Maria Pasteria!! 😍

This place is such a gem! We’ve been coming here for many years and it never disappoints. The staff is amazing, kind, courteous, friendly and helpful. The food is always delicious and their wine selection is superb. Highly recommend Anna Maria Pasteria!
