Reviews
If you’re wandering through Fulton Market and the smell of slow-cooked ragu hits you like a beautiful brick wall, you’ve probably found the Chicago Italian Homemade Company. I swung by recently, and honestly? My belt is still mad at me, but my soul is soaring.
The Spread
We didn’t just eat; we conducted a full-scale culinary investigation. Here’s the breakdown:
* Charcuterie Board: A masterpiece of cured meats. I’m convinced there’s no problem in life that a thin slice of prosciutto can’t solve.
* Meat Lasagna: This thing was structural perfection. It had enough layers to qualify as a skyscraper. Hearty, rich, and tasted exactly like a nonna’s hug.
* The Drinks: We kept it classic with some crisp Italian beers and a perfect glass of Chianti that paired with the pasta like they were soulmates.
* The Grand Finale: Finished with a Tiramisu that was light as a cloud and an Espresso Martini that had enough kick to get me through a flight to Rome.
The Vibe
The real highlight was the owner. We spent a good chunk of the night chatting about how much the neighborhood has changed. It’s wild to think this area used to be all meatpacking warehouses, and now it’s the heartbeat of the city’s food scene. It’s rare to find a spot that feels this personal and “old school” in such a trendy district.
The Verdict: 8/10. I’m already planning my return trip. If you see a guy in the corner trying to marry a bowl of pasta, that’s me.
The meatballs, pasta, and sauces were all exceptional rich, flavorful, and clearly made with the freshest ingredients. Each bite reflected a deep respect for authentic culinary traditions. To complete the perfect Italian meal, a shot of Italian grappa added the final touch, offering a true taste of Italy in every sense.
If you are in the area and seeking a genuine Italian dining experience, The Italian Homemade Company is an absolute must-visit. Exceptional food, and heartfelt craftsmanship await you.
Atmosphere: ambience is on point. It had part to do with my beautiful and intelligent company. That’s for a different review though. The other major portion of it was the setting of the restaurant. The atmosphere was quiet they were cleaning everything, it was already clean. It smelled fresh, not overloaded with cleaning products, but just to fragrance reassure me that I’m eating off of clean dishes. The restaurant looks like it was recently renovated into this new space. It fit really well. I loved the interior decor. The way the tables were set up the full bar. Everything was in place and a place for everything. Loved the interiors and the colors.
Service:
The service was great. Lucky for my party we happened upon one of the floor managers or general owners. He did everything in his power to make sure we had thought of every option for food or asked us any questions. Any questions about the food before ordering anything then came to check on us to make sure that the food tasted good a few times.
Food: He even recommended that we try an additional dish, but we already had full stomachs. My friend had dietary restrictions and was still able to eat a healthy plate so there are plenty of options. I myself had the red Bolognese pasta, delightful.
I can’t say this location is kid friendly as I don’t have crotch trolls to take places. I will say it’s accessible from the streetscape. There is a large amount of parking on Fulton Street depending on the time that you enter.
Final note for now is I didn’t get enough pictures or food so I will be back.
Unfortunately it fell short and is best thought of as a fast casual Italian restaurant. The tagliatelle with meat was great, plenty of meat. But the sauce tasted very basic, no added flavors or substance.
The vegetarian lasagna was a bit better, but even the cream pasta was disappointing.
Getting a bottle of wine here and hanging out here is a good vibe though.
