Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Cicero

I had visited Rustico's original location on Lake Street in Oak Park when it first opened. I was not impressed. My family and I checked out the Oak Park Avenue location last night and I was in for a very pleasant surprise. This is a completely different, wonderful restaurant! All of our dishes were top notch and the service was very attentive. Also, it was completely full of diners. Obviously, my neighbors have been on to a great thing before I was. I'll definitely be back. Thanks for a lovely evening, Rustico!

It's always a good vibe! Highly recommend the shrimp for appetizers and egg roll.

Food is absolutely wonderful here. I split ragu, gnocchi, and short rib here and all were delicious. The service here was great too. My waiter gave us a small wine pairing with the short rib simply because he knew it would enhance the flavor even though we didn’t order it. It’s small gestures like this that sets A Tavola apart. It’s a perfect intimate date spot in a very inconspicuous location. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Loved being there to help Maya celebrate 17 years as a local restaurant. Good food and drinks. Raul and Josh were attentive. One of our group’s favorite local restaurants.

The food is always fresh and flavorful. Service is outstanding and the ambiance is warm and inviting.
