    Very good food with reasonable prices but service sucked. We're pretty sure the waiter forgot to put our order in, but he claims he did. #iraeats #iraeats1

    Fried chicken sandwich with potato wedges

    So good!!! Got recommended this restaurant and I still think about it to this day. The vibe was really cute; brick walls and booths with names written all over the place. The metal touches and darkness really give the food enough contrast to shine! Everyone was very kind in our service, and food came out at a reasonable time. I didn't personally go in the cafe, but I had a cappuccino that was quite nice to drink with my meal! I will come back here soon :)

    Medici is a popular spot among the locals of the Hyde park neighborhood. Located right in the heart at the university of Chicago. You can find this place to be busy on any night. Most notably they are known for their pizza. They have wide ranging menu ranging from comfort food, burgers, and sandwiches. The pizza we got was delicious and the service was great as well.

    Dessert! Brownie Sundae with a Cafe non-fat Latte!

    Outstanding service as always!!!! 5 stars! The best thin crust garbage pizza on the planet. The FUDGE BANANA NUT Shake made with Vanilla ice cream blended with hor fudge, banana and pecans - I was also delicious. In for a Penny in for at least a Pound of fat: an wonderful large cup of CAFÉ LATTE espresso and seamed milk with a TRULY DECADENT BROWNIE SUNDAE - a delicious browne topped with chocolate sauce. vanilla ice cream. pecans, and fresh whipped cream. If you closed your eyes and envisioned the perfect college pizza joint with great service, desserts and coffee--Medici is what you'd see! This is an ideal setting.

    I was in Hyde Park with some friends and we decided to pop into Medici for an afternoon snack. I loved the vibes of the place, it felt like a chill neighborhood spot. Our server was quick and friendly. We got some appetizers like the veggie and hummus plate and goat cheese dip as well as a few beers. Our favorite was the Grenadine float. The pomegranate soda was so unique and I loved the sherbet on top! Overall, great neighborhood staple.

    I ordered a Cesar salad and a hot chai latte during lunch rush. They have no searing but table's while you wait. It didn't take long for my barista to make my latte. The salad took a little longer than I expected considering it was just chopped lettuce, croutons and some finely grated Parmesan cheese. It came with 2 oz. Cups of salad dressing which was adequate. I'd come back to try their sandwiches and the latte was ok.

    Hot chocolate

    OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS SO GOOD!! Best hot chocolate, freshly baked pastries, and my latte was phenomenal. Also if you collect 10 coffee holders you get one free heads up! 100% recommend stopping by!

    We stopped by Medici while we were strolling in Hyde Park and glad we did! Very typical American spot that was super casual and we were able to walk right in an have some light bites. We all go some beverages but the star was their float which had some kind of lemonade with sorbet on top! Such a sweet and refreshing drink! We also got some goat cheese and hummus to nibble on. Both the apps were great and well priced. Staff was good too. Overall if you're looking for a casual vibe this is a great place to pop into!

    We stopped by Medici prior to an architectural tour in this area. The atmosphere is eclectic with a variety of religious symbols throughout the restaurant. Food was fairly typical American influenced fare. We were there during brunch, so we ordered a variety of both breakfast and lunch items. My companions enjoyed the BLTs and I found my breakfast burrito to be a very healthy size. My bloody Mary was also much better than expected. Service was a little bit on the slow side and we went long stretches without seeing or interacting with anyone. Took a while to get refills on water and took a while to get access to the check.

With a cozy locals vibe, there was a mix of young professionals on laptops and families starting the morning. The bright aesethics of Mexican heritage and decor celebrating local artists make the space inspiring and energizing. The coffee was great. I got the horchata latte, which tasted even better than I hoped. I also ordered a El Chavo Torta, a deceptively simple sandwich that was incredibly delicious. I don't know what they put in the bread or what magical place they bought the cheese from, but my mouth is watering just thinking about it. When I'm in Chicago again, La Malinche is on my list of must visit spots.

The staff were really welcoming, for an early morning. I got the hot chocolate. Honestly that's exactly what I needed that morning. It had that real Mexican chocolate taste. Thick, creamy, smooth and rich. The cinnamon came through warm but not too strong, plus a little extra on top that hit your nose before the first sip. Sweet and it almost had this slight earthy note too... hard to explain but good. It even had that little design on top, like the ones they do on cappuccinos. Didn't expect that but it was cool. I finished it slow. Didn't wanna rush it. Just sat there taking small sips and enjoying it while it was still hot.

    Not sure why I had not reviewed this soot earlier, I come here often, in fact I'm here right now…read more Great spot! Set in an old warehouse that is now an art gallery event space and restaurant nestled in an older warehouse district in Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. Beautiful decor and laid out perfectly. The natural wood floors furniture ie tables chairs etc and iron work throughout sets the ambiance for old meets new. It works. The wide spacing between tables makes for a comfortable dining experience. So many folks come in to do their work and dine here. What a super addition to the neighborhood that less than a decade ago was essentially a street that was more a run down semi-truck alley. Great menu with neighborhood favorites leaning toward the old school Italian dishes. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfasts just to name a few are all excellent. The pastries are insane and a must take home deal. I love the American Breakfast. Three eggs your way, thick diced America potatoes, thick cut bacon, and sourdough toast. Accompanied by what I believe to be home made jelly and for sure homemade gardiniera. Caruso's gardiniera actually. Diced into a relish unlike most standard gardiniera it's easier to eat with many dishes. Excellent flavor and just the right kick to it. FYI Dolce Arte also sells a to go line of homemade Caruso products from their gardiniera to past and past sauces and more. Yes, their coffee is really good too. Lavazza products I believe. The service is always on point. Casual but on point. Very friendly staff from diverse backgrounds. This is the place you bring people close to you, business lunches, meetings, formal ir informal, or like me, save it for myself as my own getaway spot. It's an artists dream and sets a positive time for any gathering.

I had the regular coffee flight and their valentine special coffee flight. Their drinks were soooo good and tastes just like how you would expect it to taste. I cannot wait to come here and try other drinks! I would definitely come here for coffee if I am ever in the area. The price is decent, the taste is amazing, and the people here are super friendly. The owner said they took over the store next door to expand the coffee shop, so stay tune for an expansion? Hands down one of the most legit coffee spots I would keep coming back to even if it's out of the way sometimes. My husband ordered a bagel sandwich cause he was hungry and we thought it was fine. If you're ever in the area, you must come here for the coffee! They even use the good ice so that way your drinks stays cold and not watered down immediately! IYKYK

Why would you not order a flight to try a variety of drinks all at once? We had the hibiscus lemonade and matcha flight, the mango con crema and banana con crema were the standouts. We went on a weekend and there was a long line but it moved pretty quickly. Limited seating space but there are also chairs and tables on the outside. Street parking available. They also offer brunch food items which we did not get to try. But overall cute shop with a variety of speciality drinks that I will definitely try in the future.
