"This was my 1st visit to Cassati’s although I have passed it by in my car for several years. I stopped in to pick up an order but decided to have a drink at the bar while waiting. I appreciated the very friendly and warm welcome from the hostess who is a wonderful person. The bar is quite large, comfortable seating, very nice subdued lighting, modern and welcoming. I ordered an Italian cocktail from the bartender Adam who was not familiar with it although he said he’d look it up. I instead ordered a more well known cocktail which was well made. Maybe next time he will have looked up the original cocktail. I would have had a cup of coffee before leaving but the bartender was busy with other tasks even though I was the only one in the bar. He seems a bit aloof and not really interested in engaging with customers which is a bit odd. Many wine bars at least offer a glass of water and a coaster or napkin with the drink. The bartender did not provide either. I was surprised there were no bar snacks offered or available which would have made the experience better. I was hoping for a true Italian aperitivo where small portions of food could be ordered with your cocktails since the restaurant is owned by native Italians. The pappardelle ragu that I ordered for take out turned to be a great choice with home made noodles unlike other restaurants that make them out of a box or package. The flavors and preparation were spot on! Compliments to the chef. While I have access to excellent Italian restaurants in Old Town, I’m sure I’ll be back to Cassati’s and will again try to order an Americano! This is a true gem in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. The 5 stars were primarily because of the nice hostess, interesting restaurant design and for the delicious food. Sadly the bar service was not a highlight."

"The location is beautiful, decor is interesting and attractive, but when it came to food and service, we were greatly disappointed: We came there to try out their grilled octopus but after a very long delay we?re informed that the last octopuswas served to our guests who ordered it first, which was a huge disappointment for everyone who didn?t get their dessert foodand should have been embarrassing for the restaurant because they don?t really have a big variety of seafood. So, we had toorder next favorite thing from the menu which was a difficult thing to do because of insanely high prices and limited selection.So we opted for lobster/shrimp ravioli which did not look any appetizing upon arrival and it seemed like they were filled withseafood flavored mashed potatoes. We also went out on a limb and ordered Chilean sea bass pictured) which was raw inside, wasdrenched in a horrible creamy sauce and floated in a bed of overcooked risotto and some vegetables dumped on top. It looked farfrom appetizing. I know we should?ve said something, but didn?t want to spoil a beautiful Mother?s Day celebration. So I amwriting this review to share my experience because it?s very rare that I am that unhappy with a place and I wouldn?t want anymore people making the mistake of going to osterea capri. The management should?ve offered some kind of discount for not havingenough food to accommodate us and compensate for the horrible experience. Never going back there again"
