I can’t believe it took me this long to get around to this place. Almost immediately walking in, the place is welcoming and just adorable. I love how lively the room is, as the decor and music is very fitting. We got a table as soon as we walked in, and started with table bread and mussels. The bread was so soft and warm. The mussels had such a rich, creamy sauce and the mussels were pretty cooked perfectly. For entre, i got the lunch special italian sandwich on focaccia, and this is probably one of the best italian sandwiches i have had. The ingredients are high quality, and there’s a good balance of flavors. The focaccia is made in house and is PHENOMENAL!!!! The sweet potatoe chips are freshly made and have a nice crunch to them. As for the Spinach Gnocchi, it was so delicious too. The Gnocchi almost melted in my mouth from how soft it was, but still had some bite to it. We didn’t get dessert this time but there are some really good options if you do. The service was fast, and the experience was great. We got some great food for a great price. I will be coming back again for both the lunch special and regular menu.

Perfect spot for an afternoon glass of chilled sparkling wine. Hanging flower baskets Trattoria DEMI evokes the european ambiance at the tiny sidewalk outdoor seating patio ( 8 tables). Mouth watering Classic Italian dishes taste even better with gentle Italian tunes in the background. And then they threw me out

A wonderful small authentic Italian restaurant that reminded me of my travels in Italy. The angel hair was delicate and sauce heavenly. The gnocchi with chicken was exquisite. Wonderful and attentive service.

Such a cute Italian spot in Evanston! I got the spinach lasagna and it was delicious and the portions was hefty! I ate half and had some to take home. There’s plenty of vegetarian options and you can add meat if you’d like!

Excellent! We tried the goat cheese bread which was fantastic. Follow up with main course Farfelle chicken with zucchini. It was so nice and comfortable in the restaurant and the server was so attentive. 5 Stars is not enough!

Visiting from Los Angeles and came in with my daughter for dinner. We loved it so much that we ate there two nights in a row. The pasta with pink sauce was dreamy. Meatballs were so soft and delicious! Festive place on Friday night. Great staff; it was so busy but they were still nice! Love this place. We will be back!

Overall, 3 out of 4 of our entrees were quite decent. However, the Farfalle chicken turned out to be a watery, soupy type of plate. I realize it was the 4th of July, so it’s likely it was due to it being a pretty busy day. I would definitely recommend the chicken parm though

Stopped at this lovely, quaint, authentic Italian restaurant 45 minutes before closing on a weekday. The server welcomed us without hesitation. We casually dined on calamari, bruschetta, meatballs and chicken noodle soup. Complimentary bread was provided.
