Best Authentic Restaurants in Jefferson Park

Great place with great authentic Italian. Very limited menu which made choosing easy. The ravioli with brandy cream sauce was literally one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. We ordered a second plate.

3 of us switched to Babe’s for our annual Holiday Tea get-together and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice! Just great all around!! Tasty Tea & Yummy food (and GF/DF was great, too!)

Amazing, creative, and authentic food. My wife and I sat at the bar / chef's counter which was great because we got to chat with our chef the whole time and get cool insight into all the dishes and watch them make everything. We tried the Barriga De Cerdo, Pescadilla De Marlin, and taco de cola de res, which were all delicious and would get again but our favorite dish was the Tostada de toro, it was so good we got another order instead of desert. You have to try at least a 1oz pour of mezcal too even if you're not a big mezcal fan. I forgot the name of the exact mezcal we had but they have an expert on staff that will recommend something for you, for us it was a "good beginners" mezcal. The mezcal was really good but the best part of it was what they serve the mezcal with.... I won't ruin the surprise on what it is but definitely worth trying for the experience and we found it to be surprising delicious.

Great sushi, service and ambiance at half the price of Sushi Den. Best hidden gem

Amazing experience! Started with the prosciutto, a pinot grigio, and had the tagliatelle, followed by the torta. It was all so wonderful! HIGHLY recommend the tagliatelle!! I sat at the bar, where Caesar waited on me, and he was exceptional. Highly attentive but not over-bearing; he was personable and friendly. I loved the ambiance as well. It should also be said, Caesar went above and beyond, and is an expert in his craft! Make a reservation, and you will not be disappointed.
