Best Italian Food and Tiramisu Uptown Chicago




    Just a few blocks from Boystown and Andersonville, is Anna Marie Pasteria- a little hidden gem with great Italian food and consistently voted best tiramisu in the city of Chicago! Service is always great and  the food is always great in this quaint little spot ran by 2 sisters.


A mix of modern and traditional Italian cuisine, the cozy ristorante has long been a local favorite. Sisters Anna and Maria, originally from the Basilicata region of southern Italy, first opened the doors of Anna Maria Pasteria in 1989.


Beginning at age seven, Anna fell in love with cooking, creating her first plate of Pasta e Fagioli, a simple peasant dish which is now an Italian specialty. Enamored with cuisine and hospitality, Maria followed the family tradition and put her heart into making the best and most heavenly Tiramisu.


After nearly two decades, Anna and Maria continue to dedicate themselves to the finest home-made Italian cuisine and service. Each entree is prepared to order with only the finest and freshest ingredients.




I have sampled many of their dishes from Chicken with Artichokes (Pollo Carciofo), traditional Veal Picatta, to special pasta dishes made with creamy pesto sauces!

Everything has a delicious taste! And the Ceasar salad dressing was excellent.  - And you must save room for the Chicago famous Tiramisu! Voted the best in the city! Perfectlt proportioned amounts of expresso, lady fingers and marscapone cheese.

Entres  $10- $19
Salads $5 - $7

    I absolutely love Volare in Streeterville, definitely a must visit. The meatballs and vodka sauce are to die for.
