At Ithaki, we honor the ancient tradition of Xenia, the sacred Greek custom of hospitality, which dictates that you must treat your guests as if they were gods themselves. The belief was that, in welcoming others with warmth and generosity, you might unknowingly be hosting Zeus in disguise. This ancient practice not only reflects the heart of Hellenic culture but also inspires us to provide every guest with an unforgettable experience, one rooted in respect, hospitality, and the spirit of divine welcome. At Ithaki, every meal is an invitation, and every guest is treated as though they are the most honored in the room.

We also operate on a 90 minute dine time for the entire restaurant. Thank you for your corporationFor Our Gluten Free Diners please make reservations for gluten free dough. In our effort to serve the best and safest quality product our gluten free is available in limited supply, we strive to always have it available sometimes demand is greater and we do run out. Pizza in Napoli is soft and foldable and can be considered “wet” by American standards. For this reason, people in Napoli generally eat their pizza with a knife and fork. Blackened char spots on the pizza crust is a tell–tale sign of Pizza Napoletana that has been cooked in a blistering hot, wood-burning oven.

• American • Near North
Booked 22 times today
In 1943, on the corner of Ohio and Wabash in downtown Chicago, Uno Founders, Ike Sewell and Ric Riccardo, created the original and legendary Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza. They combined authentic Italian recipes with the finest meats, spices, vegetables and cheeses and baked them in a unique and delicious deep dish crust, creating a hearty pizza like no other. Today, Uno’s Deep Dish Pizza is still made as it was then, with dough made fresh daily, hand stretched and covered with meats, hand-cut vegetables and freshly shredded mozzarella cheese. We put that same attention to detail in all our menu items, including pasta, salads, burgers, steaks and seafood and our new Love All, Feed All™ menu – which includes our 600-calorie-or-less Uno De-Lites, as well as our Gluten-Sensitive, Carb-Conscious, Vegetarian and Vegan offerings. So come by and let us help you create memories with your family and friends at Uno.

    Just one suggestion: our server was terrific though she might have sold som beverages had she asked if anyone wanted a drink or cocktail before ordering food. Such wasn’t really offered and the jump was made directly to food…and at least one of us might have enjoyed a drink but for the food order being immediately taken! All in all an absolutely delicious meal!

    Outstanding from the starters to the dessert. The staff was warm and welcoming. Our glasses were never less than half full. Our food was seasoned perfectly. Steaks super tender, confit wings, brussel sprouts and the Creme Brulee were to die for! Can't wait to go back again!
