    Sticky Date Cake
    Shirin B.

    Vibes are immaculate here, makes sense as to why this place is so hard to get a spot in. Friends and I came early and were able to secure a spot at the bar. This place is really busy, so try and get a table if you can for better service. As for the food, it's excellent - the pastas and the Parker house rolls are amazing. The truffle mafaldine pasta was the best dish, I'll definitely be coming back for that one. The date cake was a little too sweet for me but still really moist and the perfect treat.

    Frozen cosmopolitan
    Jahaan T.

    Visited on July 19th with my sister and had a great lunch! Our server, Alex, was extremely hospitable and gave some great recs. Firstly, the ambiance and decor was extremely comfy cozy. We were seated at a table with big arm chairs, which was so relaxing. The lighting is dim, and there's moderate noise. My favorite items were the crab Rangoon (the spicy mustard is the star), frozen cosmo (so strong and yummy), and the branzino (light and flaky). My sister ordered the vodka rigatoni, which was pretty good. As were the rolls! If you do not favor truffle, you can ask for regular butter on the side. Of course the girls love a Caesar! It was made with potato chips instead of the typical croutons, which was cute. I did end up sending back the creamed spinach. It almost tasted as if it were made with blue cheese; there was a really "funky" taste to it I couldn't get past. Overall, we had a fine time. I'd love to come back to try different items.

    Trivoli Tavern is such a hot spot, especially in the summer with their massive patio! It's adorable with the cobblestones, but you absolutely need a reservation because it is very popular. Even so, the service was excellent and quick. We didn't manage to get seated outside but honestly the inside is so beautiful that I didn't mind. They have a couple of pasta options for vegetarians and the food was very good. I didn't have room for dessert but maybe next time!

    Okay, YUM! This is such a gem with an old school hole in the wall vibe. Make a reservation far in advance or be prepared to sit and wait for a few hours (which we did). We sat in the back lobster room which was cute. Our server was great, food came out crazy fast and was absolutely delicious. Loved the rigatoni and love loved the truffle mafaldine!

    If you haven't been to Trivoli Tavern, then you are completely missing out on some amazing food and a beautiful restaurant! My recommendations: 1.) Either make a rezzy ahead of time or be willing to wait (I like to put my name down with the intention of walking/shopping West Loop for a while). 2.) The outdoor patio is worth the wait and hassle 3.) Try the Sticky Date Cake and Cornbread... you can thank me later!!!

    Steak Frites and Vodka Rigatoni
    Sadie W.

    Love!! Tough to get a reservation, but worth the wait as a walk-in. The dining room is super cozy and has a great ambiance, and I've also really enjoyed sitting at the "lobster bar." Steak frites is one of my favorites, but the artichoke dip is a close second. Wedge salad and vodka rigatoni were also great, I appreciated that they let us add sausage to the vodka rigatoni. I thought the lobster maki was just ok, but that might just be my preference. Wine and cocktails always great, service always fantastic. Highly recommend!

    Mushroom Casserole
    Tray

    This is probably my least favorite Hogsalt restaurant so far. I'd only come back for the mushroom casserole. On the bright side, everything came out to about $200, which wasn't bad for everything we ordered. The Warm Parker House Rolls (5/10) reminded me of Hawaiian rolls but with a thicker, slightly rubbery crust. The truffle butter was sweet and delicious, but the rolls themselves were a little salty and not as soft. The Pigs in a Blanket (6/10) were pretty standard. The mustard had a strong kick, and the puff pastry with sausage was tasty without being memorable. The Prime Rib (6/10) was fresh and paired well with the béarnaise sauce, but the meat came out a little cold and I got tired of the flavor after a few bites. The Truffle Mafaldine (6.5/10) had perfectly al dente pasta, but it wasn't creamy at all and arrived almost at room temperature. The truffle flavor was pretty light too. I definitely prefer the creamy version at Ciccio Mio. The Mushroom Casserole (9.5/10) was easily the star of the meal. Super creamy with an addicting garlic flavor and an amazing crunchy topping. For dessert, the Sticky Date Cake (7.5/10) had great textures with warm rum cake, brown butter ice cream, and crunchy date crumbles, but the toffee sauce was way sweeter than I'd like. The Butterfinger Pie (7/10) also leaned too sweet, though I liked the crunchy Butterfinger pieces and perfectly firm crust. Service was good overall. 7.5/10. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, but the food came out pretty slowly. We waited around 20 minutes just for the bread after ordering. The vibes were classic Hogsalt with dim lighting, jazz music, and a cozy speakeasy feel. I especially liked the cobblestone alley outside, though it was pretty loud inside. 8/10.

    Crispy Fried Chicken
    Kenia A.

    I came here twice during my trip just for the date cake and let me tell you it is worth the hype!!! We were seated inside for our first reservation and loved sultry vibe. We opted for happy hour the second time so we were seated outside. If you love martinis, you neeeeed to get the gin martini with blue cheese olives For food, we had the spicy orecchiette and crispy fried chicken - both pretty good, but nothing to rave about.

    Vodka Rigatoni with gluten free pasta
    Anna S.

    I had the pleasure of checking out Trivoli for dinner while in town recently and my mind was blown. To start, the interior is gorgeous. It felt like an old school Italian eatery and the dining room just kept going with booths and plenty of other tables. Our server was absolutely incredible (I think her name was Sierra?). She informed me of all the amazing gluten free options I could enjoy including the corn bread, sushi (gluten free soy sauce, yay!), and pasta. This menu is surprisingly vast for my gluten free foodies out there. The corn bread is something I'd add to my last meal on Earth. It was warm, fluffy, with a crispy cheese top and honey butter. I need the recipe ASAP. The caesar salad made with potato chips instead of croutons was f*cking genius. I wish I had thought of it! The steak frites, although small, were expertly seasoned with a herb crust that didn't negatively affect the juicy and tender cook on the steak. So, so, so good. The vodka rigatoni was the best vodka sauce I've ever had. I must crack the code on how they do it -- I've been thinking about this dish ever since. It was smooth, with small chunks of tomato and a nice kick. Although I didn't get to eat the lobster roll in its true form due to the roll, I enjoyed bits of the lobster on the accompanying potato chips and almost lost my mind. So fresh. The sushi roll was maybe my least favorite thing we tried but it was still good so that's saying something about the rest of the food. It just felt like such a novelty to have all the other dishes we did PLUS sushi, so we had to indulge. I mean, what other place is doing that?! We were all totally blown away. I recommend booking in advance for a larger party as reservations fill up weeks in advance and the wait can be long for walk-ins. Thanks for a terrific, gluten-free friendly meal that I'll be thinking about for a LOOOONG time!

    Lobster Mac & Cheese
    Cara C.

    First, the vibe of the place is so cute, has very Italian looking outdoor seating and the inside is dark and vibey. Absolutely loved everything we ordered here. The lobster mac and cheese and crab wontons apps were sooo good. The truffle pasta and vodka rigatoni were amazing, perfectly al dente and the sauce for both was so tasty. The date cake for the dessert was super good as well. Service was also great, replacing plates and silverware constantly between each course. Definitely want to come back next time I'm in chicago!

    Truffle Mafaldine with Classic Ribeye
    Joiliana L.

    This place is gorgeous with a lovely atmosphere. We sat at the bar. I got a cosmo which was very solid, nice and refreshing without being too sweet. Truffle mafaldine: 4/5. If you love truffle flavor and always feel like people don't add enough, this is the pasta for you. This packs a HUGE truffle punch, perfect for me. You can add a protein to it and I chose ribeye which was cooked to perfection with a good crust. The pasta sauce was a little over salted and the pasta a bit undercooked but I'm going to put that on them being close to closing when we ordered. I'd come back and try it again for sure. Sticky date cake: 4.5/5. This cake was hot, sweet, moist, soft, and absolutely soaked in syrup. The ice cream is the perfect addition and they have like a salted toffee crumble topping that adds a great balance to the dish. Will absolutely be returning.

    I've been wanting to try Trivoli Tavern for a while, but it is notoriously hard to get into. Since they only book 21 days in advance, I actually set an early alarm just to snag a reservation for my birthday dinner, and luckily, I managed to secure a 6:30pm spot on a Tuesday night. Tucked away in an alley with a great outdoor seating area, the place is super cute and has a wonderful, old-school vibe. We were seated inside in a comfortable booth, and from start to finish, the experience was flawless. I started the night with a classic cosmo, and right away, our server was incredibly accommodating. She was very aware of my gluten allergy and proactively asked about my comfort level with cross-contamination. The menu has many items clearly marked gluten-free, which made ordering a breeze. We shared the GF cornbread to start, which was absolutely delicious. For my main, I ordered the GF rigatoni alla vodka--all of their pasta is homemade, and you can truly taste the quality. I also got a side of the au gratin potatoes. To top it off, our server brought me my own separate side of chips and reassured me that they have dedicated fryers for their fries, which is always an amazing bonus when dining out with an allergy. They generously brought out a complimentary sundae to celebrate my birthday, and we also ordered the flourless chocolate lava cake to share. Between the exceptional food and the top-notch service, it was the perfect birthday celebration. Trivoli Tavern is absolutely worth setting an alarm for!

    Vodka Rigatoni, Steak Frites
    Kritika S.

    I visited Trivoli during a last minute trip to Chicago, and was lucky to get seating outside with a big group. We ordered the Vodka Rigatoni, Steak Frites, Chicken Pot Pie and Pigs in a Blanket as our main food items. The Rigatoni was cooked to al dente and the steak was a perfect medium rare. The star of the show was the Sticky Date Cake! I was soo impressed by this dessert and can't wait to return to Trivoli next time in Chi!

    I have a reservation at 1:45pm. Will they be serving their dinner menu at that time since brunch ends then?

    The brunch menu is served for reservations that start at 1:45pm.

    Are reservations recommended for a Sunday?

    That's not be a bad idea. We were asked if we had one. A place can't be busy. You can make one online through Resy.

    Anyone know if this where RM Champagne used to be? One address shows as 114 and the other as 116. I'm wondering if it's the same building.

    It is not the same location, but it is down the same alley as RM was.

    Is it casual dress?

    I would say yes, although it looks fancy I was wearing a top and jeans with flats & so were others. I wouldn't however show up in sweat pants :)

    Do they offer valet parking?

    No. We had to valet at Sienna Tavern and walk over.

    Hi, are children allowed?

    I can speak for my 7yr old daughter who is accustomed to dining out at several WestLoop restaurants. She's always has a great time there and the staff has actually said they adored her.… 

    What is the parking availability?

    Street parking

    How warm is the outdoor seating?

    This restaurant doesn't have outdoor seating

    Is this place still open?

Hard to describe but you just know you're at a very important place but that doesn't take itself too seriously. There are burgers that are good, burgers that are great, and then there's Au Cheval.

The combination of the melted cheese, creamy sauce, onions, pickles and that ridiculously buttery brioche bun was borderline unfair. Rich, messy, salty, savory and completely indulgent in the best possible way. And that bun deserves its own mention. Soft enough to absorb all that glorious burger juice without completely falling apart. The whole thing is constructed like someone actually understands what makes a burger great.

This is a fucking burger. 9.7/10
