Stefani’s Tuscany Café is probably one of the nicest restaurants I’ve seen inside O’Hare Airport. I ordered a pizza, which overall was decent, though I was surprised that the crust didn’t have the fresh, puffy texture I was expecting. Mine came out more like a thin crust—even though I didn’t order that style—so it left me unsure whether it was truly fresh or not. That said, the ingredients themselves were good.
I also tried a slice of cake, which wasn’t fresh but still tasted fine—an average dessert. Service was friendly, and I appreciated the variety of seating options, which makes it a comfortable spot for an airport meal.
Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for a sit-down meal at the airport. There’s definitely room for improvement, but it’s still one of the better options I’ve come across here. With a little extra care on freshness, this place could easily stand out even more—I look forward to seeing it continue to improve.

Solid Chicago O’Hare airport restaurant. The food was good but a bit expensive.. $30 chicken parm was tasty, and $14 goose islands (beer was 20oz which was nice). No complaints except it was a bit pricey ..even for the airport.

Stopped here during a layover at Chicago airport. The service was pretty good. My food was very good. My husband had Chicken Parm. The noodles were super dry.

Did not expect this at an airport. Our server was a lovely lady named Vanya. She took very good care of us while we were waiting for our connection. I was really surprised by the presentation and quality of the meal since we were at an airport. My zucchini was cooked perfectly and chicken was nice and tender. My daughter’s pasta was so delicious to her she ate the entire thing. If we ever come through Chicago again we will be eating here.

We were seated quickly and the waitress did a good job. However the breakfast menu was very limited
with very few choices. We don’t eat pork and asked to have the meat removed the waitress got a little snotty and said you will still be charged for it. Which was odd because I’ve never had a restaurant not offer a substitution for items or reduce the price for items removed. So for a serving of eggs that were under cooked, breakfast potatoes and 1 slice of under toasted toast we paid $59.41 for 2 people to eat. We won’t be going back to this restaurant it was very disappointing.

My colleague and I stumbled on the cafe when walking through the airport and decided it looked like a nice place to sit before our flight departure. Our server, Constantine, was so friendly and accommodating. I ordered coffee and he brewed a fresh batch for me. We both ordered dessert- I am gluten free and had the flourless chocolate cake. It was rich, but delicious. We really enjoyed chatting with Constantine and he put us in a good mood before our flight!

Of course airport food is outrageously expensive and often terrible but this place is near the far end of B Concourse (B18) with many tables and a lot quieter than the ones like ️. Ms Maribella (so nice!) our server suggested the Pollo con Zucchini – very sappari さっぱり fresh and light with grilled chicken, thin grilled zucchini – that I need to add to my backyard pub grill menu! – with balsamy drizzle all over it.
Since that was light we also ordered the Calamari Fritti. When I have had calamari it is usually just rings but this included the ika geso – – squid tentacles that I love so much!
Both were the perfect combo!
I first ordered a Goose Island IPA – alas they are from my homeland – but since they soldout to InBev I had to support the Independents! on my 2nd 20oz so I got a Bells 2❤️❤️IPA. Both really hoppy refreshing for an 84’F Chicago arrival.
This was a great decision for a long layover to sit and enjoy ORD from a table in Tuscany!

The Pollo Montecarlo and the Tiramisu were delicious. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was quality for a pre-flight dinner.

Best time to go: 3pm – 5pm when your flight is stupid delayed. Make the most of it and come here.
Short version: the best Italian restaurant experience I have ever had and the best restaurant experience period. The waiter that served me, Constantine was amazing. But not only just with me, he was so kind with everyone he served. He would be the personable waiter to match the personality to whoever he was serving. It was such a talent and such a gift to see. Someone so passionate about sharing the Italian culture and cuisine. Do yourself a favor and before going in just ask if he’s working that day. If he’s not just come back another day. You would be better off just waiting for him to be your server so you can have the best experience you will ever have.
Constantine if you’re reading this ask for the raise you deserve because if I had Jeff Bezo money I would just hire you as my private waiter so you can tell me a story about how good a dish is and why I need to try it and what wine would go best with it and why lol.
Longer version:
Do not believe any of these negative reviews. I do not understand what all these reviews are on about. What is going on with these people? The prices are expensive? Okay this is an Italian restaurant at an airport and EVEN THEN the portions are MASSIVE. The star dish (salsiccia con peperoni) when served to you looks small right? You are wrong. Underneath that pasta are 3 huge massive sausages (lol I know). And it would be a challenge for anyone to finish. I came there starving and I wish I could have finished it or at least taken it home with me.
Constantine is so good he will also recommend the best wine pairing for any dish you order and actually walk you through why. And as much as you may be skeptical, the man knows his stuff and he is right! I’m not even a huge wine person but that wine + that dish made such a big difference in my experience.
Oh my god and then there’s the desert. I have had Tiramisu in the past and it was always like “eh it’s okay”. When I had the one here I was absolutely blown away. Like into another dimension. Constantine was upset the espresso machine they have was broken that day and his Italian soul just couldn’t handle me having it without it and needing to have it with “regular” coffee but even that coffee was super strong lol. And paired with that Tiramisu? It was out of this world.
And the price for all of this? Half of what I expected to pay at an airport. Truly. And for the service from Constantine? That’s just priceless. There’s only 1 Constantine and if he ever doesn’t work there they need to have something called the “Constantine special” and know that you missed out on a legend.
