Dining room at Trattoria No. 10, Chicago, ILTrattoria No. 10 has been around for years, and---in a reliable way---it's as good as it ever was. The contentment factor here is directly linked to consistency, quality and the understanding that Italian food does not have to be complicated. The menu changes often, but core dishes are always available. Lunch and dinner offerings are pretty much the same and handmade ravioli is the star of the show, especially the spicy sausage version sauced with arrabiata. Other enjoyable options are the ricotta gnocchi with rapini, butter-poached leeks and lemon ricotta as well as garganelli with wild-caught shrimp, roasted peppers, garlic and chile with white wine-butter sauce. For dessert, the almond-ricotta cheesecake is notable. The wine list covers all the important wine-producing regions of Italy, and the prices are fair. Accordingly, service is informed, and the romantic, old-world setting---grotto-ish with dramatic lighting and lovely artwork---is date-worthy.

chicken parmigiana
by cinmomma on 08/20/2008
 
Although I found the ambience of this little italian cafe quite charming, the food unfortunately was very bland. I ordered the chicken parmigiana, it came with pasta and there was no taste of an herb or garlic it was just cut up tomatoes that barely made a marinara. If I order Italian I expect some fresh garlic, onion, oregano some spice, some zest. It was sooo boring Crying or Very sad Rolling Eyes
