AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014The real treat is that it's located in the same building as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, which makes it the 'pitch perfect' spot to have a pre or post-orchestra beverage of your choice. Read more
Beril EsenJune 18, 2015Branzino is a light dish, which has its seared surface adorned with Mediterranean flavors on a bed of kale. Can't go healthier than that! Go for the Nutella panini for a sweet, rather heavier finish.
Shelby JonesJanuary 1, 2014Wow. The best food I've had in my whole life. We just picked off the menu at random and it was phenomenal. A true gem. You will not be disappointed.
Chicago TribuneMarch 24, 2015The very pretty restaurant inside Symphony Center offers a sophisticated Italian menu that's full of lighter options, in consideration of all the Chicago Symphony patrons it serves. Read more
Shannon HallbergJanuary 25, 2015Such great food, good service, and an all around cute date place. The location is covenient and the menu items are reasonably priced !
Stephen TroutmanJuly 24, 2013Two sides to this excellent restaurant ... pizza grill and white linen tablecloth. You can order from the pizza menu in the upscale restaurant if you ask.
Serious EatsDecember 13, 2013This Italian restaurant right next to the Symphony Center has a big, beautiful bar.
Crain's Chicago BusinessNovember 19, 2012Don't roll your eyes at yet another wild mushroom-truffle oil pizza; this one is different thanks to caciocavallo, an aged cow's milk cheese that adds a sharp note to the mix ($14). Read more
Time Out ChicagoJune 19, 2013The lovely 40-seat outdoor garden/Loop refuge that used to be Rhapsody is now home to this Italian-inspired restaurant.
Excellent for pre-concert brunch or dinner; loved the linguini arrabbiata, but it's really rather mild- Charred Octopus (leeks, potatoes, salsa romesco, almonds)
- Time Out ChicagoAugust 2, 2014The impressive thing about Tesori is that, really, the place barely has to try. Read more
Kirstjen LorenzAugust 13, 2014Very good lunches & not at all crowded on the weekends. Lovely outdoor garden.- Christopher FlossSeptember 5, 2017Great venue for lunch if you are near the #ArtInstitute or #Chicago #Symphony Center.

The best service and best kept secret in the loop. Come! 🍷 🍝 🥘
Cole KennedyNovember 27, 2014The tagliatelle is good, but not great. If you're in the mood for a hearty dish, go for the lasagna.
- Always a good place for lunch or dinner before a CSO concert

"Love the CSO! Definitely one of the better orchestras in the US. The space was beautiful and cozy as well."
Sharon Tsao - 9.1
"Choose seats that are higher up and centered over seats that are lower and towards the back or sides. Lots of obstructive views here"
