Ariana VoyerApril 30, 2017The new "future is bright" cocktail was so innovative and delicious! Refreshing, easy to drink but offers a complex flavor profile. Awesome bartenders too!
Justine GershakApril 22, 2013I'm so happy I finally visited Nellcote for brunch. I decided to try the Lobster Hash! It definitely did not disappoint. The mixture of lobster, potatoes, and fried egg were delicious!
EaterApril 11, 2013Jared Van Camp's kitchen cocktail program combines base spirits like Bulleit Bourbon, Hendrick's Gin or Pimms with seasonal ingredients for a more elevated drink.- Scot WheelerSeptember 1, 2015When the simple pasta (butter & herbs) is good enough to write about, you know everything else is really good, though pizza has come out too charred. Great atmosphere, music and service.
Matt www.Travelyaps.comSeptember 28, 2016Amazing. Sausage pizza and crab pasta were out if this world. We got four plates for two guys and felt very full, none were entrees.
Bitches Who BrunchApril 19, 2016Nellcôte is known for its upscale decor, and for its outdoor patio that is to die for. Let Nellcôte’s menu and feel transport you to Europe, if only for brunch. Read more
Time Out ChicagoAugust 2, 2014The desserts here aren’t special, but if you want one, it’s the chocolate parfait, essentially a chocolate mousse with more chocolate stuffed inside it. Read more
Zee AJune 18, 2013Was here for my 25th bday, everything tasted awesome. A friend n I shared the wood grilled chicken & potato gnocchi. They have small portions but they are so filling!
Nellcôte has an amazing brunch menu! The charcuterie plate is a great, & it includes homemade pastries & jams. The lobster hash is so good too! Add truffle if you want it over the top!
Josh JamourJune 19, 2012Beautiful patio right off Randolph street. The plates are small but fantastic food. Any one of the signature drinks will leave your taste buds asking for more. Overall a little bit pricey but worth it- Bitches Who BrunchSeptember 28, 2015The Bitches Say: B. After being denied the famous Lobster Hash, we were impressed with the Italian brunch cuisine, in-house flour mill, and locally sourced menu. Read more
Redeye ChicagoJanuary 6, 2015This restaurant celebrates National Pizza Week by donating a portion of the proceeds from every pie sold to rescue group, One Tail at a Time. Come before 7pm and you get a pie and beer for cheap. Read more
Bitches Who Brunch ManagerDecember 8, 2015Best Decor: NellcoteLooking for glitz and glamour? The opulent atmosphere at Nellcote is filled with crystal chandeliers, a rich color palette and cozy velvet tufted couches. Read more
Madeline GullettAugust 20, 2015The roasted cauliflower was amazing! And the cocktails. Besides that there was not a lot for vegans. I loved the inside of Nellcote though!
Order a Vodka cocktail, get a pizza (made with house milled flour), taste a few small plates, eat the strozzapreti (cold pasta), and save room for the amazing desserts!
Paul T.July 31, 2016Pretty pricey but if you get here at Happy Hour, a number of drinks and menu items are 50% off. Really nice atmosphere and superb staff.
Renée Tessier NunleyJune 8, 2013We hit this place when we were visiting and this may be the best restaurant we've ever been to. The food and drink menus are outstanding.
Tasting TableJune 20, 2012Try the spectacularly silky taglioni, tangled with crème fraîche, Prosecco and oysters to enjoy the fruits of the in-house grain mill: Read more
Matthew HancockFebruary 6, 2014Never disappointed at the spot inspired by a French mansion the stones frequented and pairs great food with beast of burden.
Paige LeeAugust 10, 2013Brunch was amazing! I highly recommend it. Also if it's nice outside, take a seat on their patio, it's beautiful!
Candice TanJanuary 23, 2016Went here for restaurant week menu- beet salad, salmon and Apple tart. Mothers little helper was delicious.
Laurel CJune 28, 2013Try the venison tartare - you won't be disappointed! The tequila cocktail is strong and refreshing. Great atmosphere too!
Chicago magazineMay 1, 2012This new spot just ranked No. 20 on our list of Best New Restaurants for 2012. It's rife with promise. Go for the pillowy wood-fired pizzas. Read more
Table HostMarch 13, 2012We had a great time! Thanks especially to Jennifer, our server, and Jason, the sommelier. The food, the drinks, the wine - all wonderful!!
Scott KleinbergDecember 17, 2015The pasta here is on point. I had the fettuccine Alfredo once and I've been craving it ever since.
Missy ClarinApril 22, 2015Their Quiche Lorraine is so light and delicious! Try the lobster hash too - yum!- Tasting TableMay 2, 2012At Nellcôte, grain for pasta is milled in-house. Try the spectacularly silky taglioni, tangled with crème fraîche, Prosecco and oysters. Read more
Cliff TaylorNovember 5, 2013Savant Special - $10 Pizza AND Beer weekday's from 5-7pm. Unbelievably good deal and you will leave full.
Chicago Realtor Mckinze CaseyJune 6, 2012The patio is awesome if the weather is also...otherwise the bar area is a great spot to people watch and get some good beverages.
Steve StreeterFebruary 9, 2013Fennel Sausage Pizza and Venison Tartare (sounds crazy but is crazy delicious). Order them or regret what could have been.
Molly EMarch 10, 2015I thought some things were excellent (pizza, cauliflower, bolognese) but other dishes had felt heavy on oil/butter. Good ambience and crowded.
e.g.March 25, 2012Great atmosphere...good food and drinks...lively scene. Only disappointment is that there are bathroom attendants! Bathrooms are much better without an attendant.
If you eat here without getting truffles on the Robuchon potatoes and the Sunny Side Egg Pizza, you are doing it wrong.
Gloria ChinJanuary 17, 2013the Pain Perdu is crispy on the outside but the custard interior is airy and melts almost instantly in your mouth!
Try the Ribeye So good ...& The Monk Stout..you can't go wrong. Tell your server Lono Brazil recommended it.
Joe MedvedApril 2, 2013Possibly the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. Goes amazingly well with the roast chicken.
Cocktails and apps are great! Perfect spot for a date
Alicia JayDecember 14, 2014Get the breakfast sampler plate, and try the pizza with a fried egg on top.
ShhIsAuSeptember 19, 2014Love the atmosphere, the salmon was very well done, pizza was okay, service was awesome.
Nauman NoorMay 26, 2013For idyllic lunches, great pizzas to munch on while enjoying the outside view (during summer of course)
JillFebruary 22, 2015Love to have a cocktail here when on Randolph. And by cocktail I mean a glass of bubbly. Go to see and be seen.
Chefs FeedAugust 5, 2014Rick Tramonto, chef of Tramonto’s Steak & Seafood, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Sunnyside up organic egg fork & knife pizza. Read more
ChristinaJuly 16, 2012Order the beef ribeye and veal sweetbreads - so good! And the Punch was the perfect cocktail to wash it down!
Geeta PatelFebruary 23, 2013I don't remember the exact name of the dish but get the pasta with braised duck!
