Delicious food, as always. The manager handled a difficult and delicate situation with a mother who had a constantly screaming child very sensitively and effectively.

First time and I don’t know why! We should have come here a long time ago. Food was fresh, tasty, and they were excellent being aware of and handling food allergies. Their seasonal pizza was so good! And vegan! Delish! We will definitely go again.

La comida es rica pero tardaron mas de una hora en traernos 3 platillos Y no entiendo que les digas tus alergias y no puedan replicar una salsa solo sin ponerle hongos a la salsa
True Food Kitchen - ChicagoResponded on January 13, 2025
Gracias por tu comentario, Pau. Nos alegra que te haya gustado la comida, pero lamentamos la demora y la dificultad con las alergias; trabajaremos para mejorar en estos aspectos.
