Joe's Imports Chicago

YES! YES! YES!!!! My wife and I are suckers for Italian food, which is perfect because Chicago always has so many new spots to try. The problem is when you spend $$$, and get bland food, and meh experiences. Joe's is NOT that. This was one of the best food experiences we've had when comparing to our trip to Italy last year. First drinks: Under The Tuscan Rum, is fun, light, and a great cocktail! The PCP was surprising but in the best way! The wines were also very good. FOOD TIME: We started with the Whipped Ricotta which was very good. The honeycomb was the absolute best, but you can't forget the bread. It was buttery and crispy, and the perfect vessel for the ricotta. We also ordered the Raviolo and the Gnudi. The Raviolo was perfectly cooked, and the filling was very yummy. The broth was the perfect compliment. The Gnudi was by far our favorite dish. Super soft dumplings, amazing pesto, warm olives (its good, trust me). YUM! We were not going to get dessert but kept staring at the Berry Shortcake, and then were very glad we ordered it. I kept imaging myself as Pru and Paul, having nothing but good things to say while eating an amazing dessert. Ambiance, Service and decor were also very delightful.
