Nella Pizza e Pasta - Chicago (near Univ of Chicago Hyde Park)

[foreplease]

We had take-out food from Nella during some of the time I was a admitted at UC but tonight was the first time we have eaten there or been there ourselves. What a great find! We shared a pizza and salad as appetizers and each had an entree. My wife had a 4 cheese risotto, son had a spicy pasta dish with sausage, and I had lobster risotto pictured below. Everything about this place was interesting, sincere, and good.

Interesting. I remember reading that first link you posted. Read both this morning but none of the links within. I think I probably spoke with Frank/Vesuvio on my way out last night. It is expensive to open-close-relocate-repeat. I hope this location and arrangement lasts. They have outstanding food.

We visited Nella’s again last night. Shared a WFO pizza and polpette (meatballs). My wife had the lobster risotto, which is what I had last time. I had the lobster ravioli with baby clams. Daughter in law had Contadina risotto. My son had a calzone. All the food was excellent.


It’s in Hyde Park area. Check it out if you’re nearby.
