New York City's gem OLIO E PIÙ is coming to Chicago! Inspired by the simplicity of Neapolitan cuisine, OLIO E PIÙ brings Italian tradition to its community, offering a true sense of Mediterranean liveliness in the heart of Greenwich Village, NYC. Opening soon in Chicago, it aims to bring the same vibrant atmosphere to the cherished River North community.

As an authentic trattoria, its cuisine is based on classic Italian dishes, with a focus on house-made pastas, hand-stretched pizza, and time-honored favorites such as Caprese salad, fritto misto, and tiramisu. The open dining area, traditional wood-fired oven, rustic interior, thin-crust Neapolitan-style pizza, and carefully selected wine and cocktail list bring a piece of old-world Italy to a renowned corner in the Village.

Consistent with its aim of offering Italian cuisine in all its regional glory, OLIO E PIÙ takes great pride in its pasta offerings, from stuffed and noodle-based pasta to gnocchi. The lineup changes according to the season, but carbonara and tagliatelle Bolognese are on the menu year-round as guest favorites.
