Although a few diners may dress in black-tie attire prior to a show or event — the restaurant does reside in the well-heeled Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago, after all — most guests are dressed in casual slacks, shorts, skirts and even jeans. However, leave your hat at home — you’ll be asked to remove it. You can expect a lot of “tourist attire” at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel; it sits adjacent to The Talbott Hotel, a 149-room boutique hotel, so it frequently feeds hungry hotel guests who’ve spent the day exploring the city’s museums, shops, parks, Navy Pier and American Girl Place.

There is no formal cancellation policy at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel. Also, since no credit card is necessary to secure a reservation at the Chicago restaurant, your credit card won’t be charged if you’re a no-show. However, restaurant management does appreciate good manners, so we highly suggest giving The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel a call if you can’t make your reservation. This is especially appreciated for large groups. Whether it’s an unforeseen conflict or a simple change of plans — don’t worry, the host or hostess won’t ask — a simple heads up will immediately open up a table for other patrons eager to explore The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel’s Italian cuisine.

Reservations are strongly recommended for large parties and for dinner on the weekends. For breakfast and lunch, however, it’s relatively easy to get a table straight away at The Restaurant. If you want a table on the outdoor patio, be sure to make that request during the reservation process — it’s the most coveted place to dine, especially on warm summer days and nights. Finally, if you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary or special occasion, let the host or hostess know when you book your table, just to make sure your meals has an extra-special touch.

If you plan to dine at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel on a Friday or Saturday evening, you should make a reservation by calling the Italian restaurant. The same goes for large groups — a heads up will help the restaurant better accommodate your party. Otherwise, it’s relatively easy to get a table during weeknights or during breakfast and lunch hours. If you’re hoping to sit on the expansive patio — the best seats in the house on a warm Chicago day or night — expect a short wait if you didn’t call in advance. We definitely recommend requesting a table on the patio during seasons when it’s open at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel, where you can enjoy a wonderful alfresco meal.

The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel is a popular spot for group dining and can accommodate large parties with reservations. On the weekends for dinner, reservations are especially essential. The nights we ate at the Italian restaurant, many of the tables had parties of five people or more, including families with young children. Tables are either circular or rectangular; it’s worth requesting a preference when making your reservation. The noise level gets a little loud during peak dinner hours, sometimes even drowning out the background music. So if you’re intent is to have a quiet conversation, it’s best to dine before 6 p.m. or after 9 p.m. on weekends. Also note: The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel charges a mandatory 20 percent gratuity for parties of six or more.

The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel doesn’t have any private dining rooms, but if you wish to secure a private dining space, you can coordinate with the adjacent Talbott Hotel.

The best views at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel are reserved for those dining on the front patio. The 25 tables here overlook one of the most charming streets in Chicago — Delaware Place. It’s a prime location in the heart of the city’s Gold Coast neighborhood, but it’s tucked away from the hustle and bustle of nearby Rush and State Streets, so it’s calmer than you might expect. The people-watching on the patio is hard to beat. Watch and you will likely see well-heeled ladies strolling by sporting the latest fashions and toting designer pooches, confused tourists wondering how to get to Michigan Avenue, and horse-and-carriage rides click-clack-click-clacking past your table. The ambience at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel will make you feel as if you’re dining alfresco in Europe. What more can you ask for from an Italian restaurant in the heart of Chicago?

You won’t find any Italian clichés or phrases hanging on the walls of The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel. Its interior design reflects the affluent Chicago neighborhood in which it resides. The sophisticated setting is modern, with walls adorned in black-and-white photos and drawings of fashionable women between the 1920s and 1950s. The overall color scheme is black-and-white — black chairs and white tablecloths. And vino, vino, vino is definitely front and center — quite literally. A large black wine cabinet, dramatically backlit at night, sits in the center of the interior seating area. The relative simplicity of the interior at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel provides minimal distraction, leaving you to focus your attention on your dining companions and the cuisine.

The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel has approximately 50 tables. Half of the seating is indoors, in a modern white-tablecloth setting — walls are adorned with black-and-white photos of fashionable women and a large, dramatically lit wine cabinet is the focal point of the room. The other half of the seating is outdoors on the expansive patio that overlooks tree-lined Delaware Place. It’s a charming spot to enjoy a meal or a glass of wine, and it’s definitely our top pick between the two options. On a gorgeous day or evening, tables on the patio are highly coveted — but it’s worth the wait, as the setting makes you feel like you’re dining alfresco on a European street.

The best table at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel is one of the 25 tables on the large front patio that overlooks charming Delaware Place. Of course, this is contingent on the weather; but on a beautiful Chicago day or night, the patio is the place to be. The ambience on the restaurant’s tree-lined street is reminiscent of dining alfresco in Europe — a fitting ambience when enjoying an Italian meal.

If you need to stay indoors, however, we recommend requesting the table toward the far back of The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel, against the wall. That way, you’ll be removed from the waiters and busboys zipping among the tables, but you’ll still enjoy a full view of the activity taking place in the restaurant.

If you need to wait for a table at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel, belly up to the bar that’s adjacent to the restaurant and shared by the hotel. Here you can order a drink from the extensive wine menu — bartenders pour generously — or a specialty cocktail. Among our favorites are The Restaurant Spritzer, which is made with Grey Goose, L’Orange Aperol, Lillet Blanc, orange juice and soda.

If the bar isn’t calling your name, feel free to sit in the lobby of The Talbott Hotel. There’s actually a small seating area inside the hotel, just outside of the bar. The country-club ambience and comfortable couches are a great place to rest your bones while you wait for a table. Just be sure to alert the host or hostess as to your whereabouts, so they’ll know where to find you.

The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel takes pride in having an extensive wine menu, and it isn’t about to shortchange the experience by using run-of-the-mill wine glasses. Servers here pour both water and wine into Riedel crystal glassware, which has been manufactured by an Austrian clan of master glassmakers for more than 50 years. The wine glasses are sturdy and never feel cheap in your hand (even when the glass of wine itself cost $8, as opposed to $18 per glass). In fact, The Wine Advocate has said this about the glassware: “The finest glasses for both technical and hedonistic purposes are those made by Riedel. The effect on fine wine is profound.” We couldn’t argue with that sentiment when we dined at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel.

Approximately 25 tables draped in white tablecloth fill up The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel, with 25 more outside on the front patio. The table settings are simple — no flowers, ornate centerpiece or promotional cards clutter the space. This leaves the emphasis on the Italian food, which is delicately delivered by the servers — a detail we found refreshing. However, a candle would have been a nice touch to set a mood for a romantic date (this is an upscale Italian restaurant, after all). China designed by Homer Laughlin and crystal glassware designed by Ridel sit on the table, along with a fork, knife and white cloth napkin. The fairly basic setting won’t distract you from your meal, but at the same time, it doesn’t do a lot of work to increase the elegant atmosphere.

True to its Italian heritage, The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel complements its cuisine with (surprise, surprise) gentle Italian music. The likes of Andre Bocelli and Sarah Brightman are played on rotation during dinner hours and set the mood appropriately at the Chicago restaurant. Intermixed with these Italian staples are classics from American crooners like Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darrin. Unfortunately, this music can get drowned out by the chatter and noise during peak dinner hours. Also, while the evening music selections suit the sleek Italian ambience The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel strives to maintain, we were slightly shocked to hear the likes of Green Day and Journey playing during non-peak dining hours.

The service at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel is attentive and friendly. Given the upscale, white tablecloth ambience of the Italian restaurant, it’s professional but not stuffy. Servers, some of whom are Italian, are knowledgeable on all of the dishes. They won’t sneer at you if you make modifications to dishes on the menu because of allergies or diet or taste (you hate mushrooms or pesto). They’re at your side for whatever you need but they don’t hover so you can relax and enjoy your time there.

The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel is a romantic restaurant in a neighborhood-y kind of way. The eatery is located on tree-lined street in a residential patch of downtown Chicago. It’s a cozy spot for the residents in the surrounding high-rises and a homey place to dine for hotel guests. You won’t find awe-inspiring views or dripping candles but the rustic Italian fare, nice wine list and elegant space with floor-to-ceiling photos in black and white certainly make for a lovely date night. The room is dimly lit, the tables are draped with white tablecloths, and we’ve even heard Andrea Bocelli playing in the background (just sayin). However, during peak dinner hours, it can get noisy — so we recommend requesting a table away from the center of the room. And on a nice evening, we highly recommend snagging a table on the sidewalk. The charming ambience evokes alfresco dining in Europe — a perfect, romantic complement to an Italian meal. If you’re celebrating an anniversary or special occasion, definitely let your server know.

The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel features authentic Italian dishes — housemade pastas, fresh fish and tender meats, with a focus on seasonal ingredients. You can’t go wrong with these five dishes:
 
1. The pappardelle. The best Italian dishes are simple and fresh, like the pappardelle. Soft and billowy strips of homemade pasta are coated with a creamy tomato sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. The unfussy, flavorful dish is a crowd favorite.
 
2. The ossobuco. Our favorite dish was the succulent, melt-in-your mouth braised veal shank with saffron risotto. It’s juicy, tender — and enough to share.   
 
3. The fish. Chef Jim Kilberg enjoys getting creative with fresh fish of the season, so ask your server which seasonal fish he or she recommends. The sautéed grouper and Mediterranean sea bass filet were among the tasty options the night we dined.
 
4. Tuna tartare. One of the most popular appetizers is the “Tartara di tonno di Salina.” It features fresh Mediterranean yellow fin tuna on a bed of cucumbers drizzled with soy sauce and topped with guacamole.
 
5. The tiramisu. What’s Italian night without a bite of tiramisu to finish? It’s homemade here, with more chocolate than coffee flavor and isn’t overpowered by booze.

Jim Kilberg is the executive chef at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel. A graduate of the Western Culinary Institute in Portland, chef Kilberg spent time cooking in Italy under the direction of renowned Italian chef Francesco Beradinelli at Becco Fino in Florence and later at Borgo di Fortobuso in the Chianti region. The chef has also worked at restaurants in Montana, Colorado and Florida, and has served as executive chef at several popular Italian eateries in Chicago: Gioco, Coco Pazzo and Il Poggiolo in Hinsdale. With a discerning eye for fresh and simple ingredients, chef Kilberg creates heartwarming rustic Italian dishes.

Executive chef Jim Kilberg of The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel calls his cooking style “rustic Tuscan Italian.” Fresh, simple and seasonal ingredients are the hallmarks of any dish he creates. Having cooked in Italy under some of the most renowned chefs, chef Kilberg makes good use of Italian-imported ingredients, such as buffalo mozzarella, extra virgin olive oil and cheeses. Dishes are subject to change based on the availability and seasonality of ingredients. Expect to find seasonal mushrooms, fruits and cyclical ingredients such as butternut squash, Swiss chard and beets.

Italian culinary traditions run deep with executive chef Jim Kilberg, who currently handles the pastry chef duties at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel alongside Rosa Ramasseri, a pastry chef who hails from Italy. All of the desserts are made in-house except for the gelatos and sorbets — although we were told there are plans to start making those in-house as well. While the tiramisu is definitely a favorite among guests, try the staff pick: the ciocolatissimo, the oh-so-soft and delicious chocolate soufflé. 

The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel features authentic Italian cuisine with an extensive variety of appetizers, salads, pastas, fish and meats. The homemade pastas and desserts are favorite staples among patrons. The menu doesn’t ever stay the same, though. Executive chef Jim Kilberg will add seasonal dishes to the array of options.
 
The menu is divided into eight main parts. To start there’s antipasti (calamari, grilled prawns) and salads (mixed greens, beet salad). A fish section has options like baked salmon with sautéed escarole and cannellini beans. The meat part of the menu consists of hearty favorites such as rack of lamb and a thick pork chop. Then there’s the lengthy list of pastas—everything from spaghetti Bolognese and lasagna to tagliolini pasta with lobster and chanterelle mushrooms. The menu also lists a few risottos, and side dishes include sautéed spinach or roasted potatoes. Finally, there’s dessert—gelato, tiramisu, semifreddo and lots more.
 
At lunch, those on the go can order from the Business Express menu, which includes a prix fixe option for $17 per person. You can select one appetizer, one main course and a soft drink or coffee. Dessert is $4 extra per person—quite a lot of food for the price.

The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel does not offer a special menu for food allergies, but the chefs are happy to modify any existing dishes, so just let your server know about any sensitivities you may have. The restaurant can even substitute gluten-free penne or fettuccini into any pasta dish on the menu. When in doubt about the ingredients in a dish, be safe and ask your server — he or she can always ask the chef if specific details are not immediately known.

Vegetarians will find plenty of dishes on the Italian menu at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel. For an antipasti, try the grilled eggplant in a tomato sauce with melted mozzarella or the fresh buffalo mozzarella with vine tomato and basil. The buffalo mozzarella is imported from Italy. Favorites pasta dishes among vegetarians include the gnocchi alla camoglina, which is in a tomato sauce with a touch of pesto and cream, and the ravioli stuffed with spinach and ricotta cheese. Most of the pasta dishes can be modified to suit specific vegetarian or vegan needs—just ask you server. And depending on how strict a vegetarian you are, there are always at least four or five fish dishes on the menu, ranging from grouper to salmon to Mediterranean sea bass. Side orders of roasted potatoes, sautéed spinach and sautéed spicy broccoli rabe are also delicious.

The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel did not include a stand-alone cheese course option on its menu when we last visited. However, we were told that The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel is working on a cheese menu for guests, so perhaps this offering will be on the menu when you dine.

The desserts at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel are every bit as heartening as the rustic Italian fare. Our Forbes Travel Guide editors recommend the housemade tiramisu. The quintessential Italian dessert made of ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, espresso coffee and cocoa is creamy and more chocolate- than coffee-flavored here. It’s also not overpowered by liquor. Other yummy desserts include gelato or sorbet, a warm chocolate soufflé with vanilla ice cream, a white chocolate mousse with banana, semifreddo, an amaretto chocolate custard with caramel sauce, special fruit sorbets  and an Italian ricotta mascarpone cheesecake.

Two of the most popular desserts at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel are the tiramisu and the Italian ricotta mascarpone cheesecake. The tiramisu, which is made in-house, is a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth treat, while the savory (and sinful) cheesecake is enough to split at the end of your meal. Other options include white chocolate mousse with banana; semifreddo; amaretto chocolate custard with caramel sauce; and gelato, sorbets and special fruit sorbets. 

The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel does not routinely offer any special gifts from the chef such as an amuse bouche. However, guests start their meal with a basket of freshly baked bread and a trio of spreads: garlic hummus, sundried tomato spread and olive oil with red chili flakes. If you’re celebrating a special occasion, it doesn’t hurt to let the restaurant know in advance. Chef Jim Kilberg says he has been known to send out a dessert or complimentary glass of champagne.

The food presentation at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel is polished and upscale without being over the top. Dishes are not meant to look like miniature pieces of art. We weren’t nervous to consume them, nor did we feel obligated to appreciate the plating. The cuisine here is upscale Italian comfort food, and diving right in to a heaping bowl of pasta simply adored with a spring of fresh basil and a healthy shaving of cheese is expected. 

Expect seasonal dishes to accompany the staples at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel. Executive chef Jim Kilberg enjoys experimenting with ingredients specific to the season to keep the menu selection fresh. In fall, ingredients such as Swiss chard, beets, parsnips, butternut squash and fennel find their way into special dishes, while in spring, ingredients du jour might include asparagus and fava beans.
The autumn evening we dined, seasonal specials included butternut squash ravioli in a sage butter emulsion, and a sautéed pork tenderloin with apple frites.

The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel features a cozy bar that flanks the white table-clothed dining room. The dark-wood room evokes an old-fashioned private club. You’ll find locals, tourists and guests of The Talbott Hotel mingling together there. You can also order a drink from one of the couches in the hotel lobby, which has a cozy fireplace, antique clocks and mahogany wood-paneled walls.
 
Wherever you decide to sit, you’ll find a robust list of wines with a good selection of Italian wines and more than 20 options by the glass, including pinot grigio, chardonnay, cabernet, chianti, malbec and more. On a recent visit, the bartender gave us several tastes to help us decide on the perfect glass. You’ll also find signature cocktails and a bunch of mixed drinks.

The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel offers its full menu in its cozy bar area if you’re looking to grab a casual, quick dinner.  We’ve never seen the bar get crowded so you’ll have plenty of space to spread out and dig into the homemade pastas (penne pasta in a spicy tomato sauce, tagliolini pasta with lobster and chanterelle mushrooms), meat and fish dishes (grilled 14-oz. organic veal chop in mushroom sauce, pan seared chicken scallopini, Mediterranean sea bass) and comforting side dishes (sautéed spinach, roasted potatoes). For dessert, scoop up a little gelato, housemade tiramisu or perhaps a semifreddo to cap off your evening before heading up to the hotel or back out onto the hustle and bustle of downtown Chicago.

Although wine pairings aren’t noted on the menu, servers at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel know a thing or two about the vino, so just ask them for a recommendation.

Guests of The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel can thank Ovi Marginean for its extensive wine selection. In addition to serving as the assistant general manager for The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel, Marginean is responsible for approving and purchasing all wines that make the menu—a menu that changes every three to four months. Marginean makes a point to keep the wine menu Italian-centric. Roughly 70 percent of the menu features Italian wines. Favorites include the full-bodied super Tuscans and chiantis.

The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel’s bartenders can whip up some tasty signature cocktails. Try the limoncello drop martini made with homemade limoncello. The drink is quickly becoming a favorite among repeat guests. 
 
Other specialty cocktails worth ordering before, during or after the dinner hour include the bellini and the spritzer. The spritzer is served in a martini glass and made with Grey Goose L’Orange, Aperol, Lillet Blanc, orange juice and soda. The Manhattan is made with Bulleit bourbon.
 
Don’t see your signature drink on the menu? No worries. Bartenders will be happy to mix something up for you — just tell them your libation of choice.

Wine lovers won’t be disappointed when dining at The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel, which has an extensive menu that changes every three to four months and includes a handful of special bottles. Among the most impressive is a $450 bottle of Bolgheri Sassicaia from Tenuta San Guido in Italy. From Napa, there are two bottles of Meritage available for $300 and $375, respectively.
 
For special occasions that require some bubbly, the $320 bottle of Celebris from France should do the trick. Dom Perignon is also available for $180. Of the ten different types of champagne available, the least expensive is a 375-ml. bottle from Heidsieck & Co. for $45.

Although The Restaurant at The Talbott Hotel doesn’t feature any specific mocktails on its drink menu, bartenders can whip up your favorite drink minus the alcohol so be sure to ask. If you want to have a little fun with your liquid libation, minus the booze, ask the server for a virgin Bloody Mary, virgin margarita, virgin seabreeze (cranberry and grapefruit), virgin baybreeze (cranberry and pineapple) or virgin madras (cranberry and orange). For the kids, the classic Shirley Temple (Sprite or ginger ale and grenadine syrup) is a sweet favorite. You’ll also find Coca-Cola products — including Coke, Diet Coke and Sprite — along with ginger ale, iced tea and Minute Maid lemonade. Juice options include orange, pineapple, cranberry, grapefruit, tomato and apple.
