Trattoria Demi

Stopped in for lunch on a Thursday and it was such a nice experience. The lunch specials were great and the food tasted amazing. They sat us right away and gave us time to look over the menu. I ordered the 1/2 sandwich and soup combo and it was so good. It was also not too filling but just enough for a lunch serving. The prices were also very reasonable and everyone seemed to enjoy the food that day. Besides the lunch specials you could also order from their regular menu.

Great experience…. The food was amazing. The sauce on the cheese ravioli was a bit runnier than I’m use to. But it had a great flavor. I would have expected a better choice of bread, but that was good as well. The prices can not be be beat for the quality and presentation. I highly recommend this place. Our server “D “ was extremely friendly and helpful. She was knowledgeable about the food and drinks. She helped me choose the right drink. We will make a point of coming back. Highly recommend this place.

Wonderful little Italian place in Evanston! Went here on a whim and everything turned out to be delicious. We got the gnocci and shrimp linguini. Service was the cherry on top- we had a really friendly server! I was extra impressed by the service considering how busy it was when we went. Thanks so much for a good experience 🌟

I can’t believe it took me this long to get around to this place. Almost immediately walking in, the place is welcoming and just adorable. I love how lively the room is, as the decor and music is very fitting. We got a table as soon as we walked in, and started with table bread and mussels. The bread was so soft and warm. The mussels had such a rich, creamy sauce and the mussels were pretty cooked perfectly. For entre, i got the lunch special italian sandwich on focaccia, and this is probably one of the best italian sandwiches i have had. The ingredients are high quality, and there’s a good balance of flavors. The focaccia is made in house and is PHENOMENAL!!!! The sweet potatoe chips are freshly made and have a nice crunch to them. As for the Spinach Gnocchi, it was so delicious too. The Gnocchi almost melted in my mouth from how soft it was, but still had some bite to it. We didn’t get dessert this time but there are some really good options if you do. The service was fast, and the experience was great. We got some great food for a great price. I will be coming back again for both the lunch special and regular menu.

I ordered tortellini Della Nona. My husband ordered Asiago Gnocchi. Both dishes were 10/10. We will definitely come back. Prices are reasonable and portions are big.

Perfect spot for an afternoon glass of chilled sparkling wine. Hanging flower baskets Trattoria DEMI evokes the european ambiance at the tiny sidewalk outdoor seating patio ( 8 tables). Mouth watering Classic Italian dishes taste even better with gentle Italian tunes in the background. And then they threw me out

I'm so extremely grateful 🙏 I found this adorable Italian 🍕 restaurant to enjoy a light lunch.

I attended a cranial sacral workshop at Zen Shiatsu just a block away and the owner took wonderful care of me providing me with prompt service so I wouldn't be late for part 2 of my half day seminar.

I ordered a simple lunch menu item of rigatoni with broccoli 🥦 and a side salad and everything was not only presented beautifully but tasted fresh, light and delicious.

The spumoni Gelato was also quite good and for the lunch price a perfect value for the money.

I will definitely be back next time I return to Evanston. This cute Italian bistro is cozy, welcoming and the menu has a wide variety of pasta options from inexpensive to reasonably priced.

Visiting from Los Angeles and came in with my daughter for dinner. We loved it so much that we ate there two nights in a row. The pasta with pink sauce was dreamy. Meatballs were so soft and delicious! Festive place on Friday night. Great staff; it was so busy but they were still nice! Love this place. We will be back!

We had a great meal, veal was superb, they ran out of the spinach lasagne we ordered so they had to make it fresh (delicious), but since the rest of the meal was slightly delayed we got to try the tasty desserts for free.

Stopped for a quick bite around lunchtime and was surprised by how good the service was, even during peak hours. Tried out the lunch specials and the rigatoni was so creamy and delicious!

My overall score is higher than the average because this is such a great place: family owned, small, neighborhood. The family style food is comforting and filling; the (very busy) wait-staff make you feel they are glad to see you. Although I am an older, single woman they didn’t try to hurry me along

I got the Meatball Sandwich and let me tell you, those meatballs were definitely homemade because they melted in my mouth. Bursting with flavor and the bread amazing. The sauce. Oh!

A wonderful small authentic Italian restaurant that reminded me of my travels in Italy. The angel hair was delicate and sauce heavenly. The gnocchi with chicken was exquisite. Wonderful and attentive service.

We were very pleased we chose this place right down the street from our hotel. The food was excellent, and the service was fast. I especially recommend the octopus and cannellini small plate - absolutely divine.

The prices were also great. I would have expected to pay at least 50% more for a meal of this quality in the Chicago area.

This was my first time here. I came from Brazil for the Chicago marathon, and it's a fantastic place that I recommend to everyone. I was impressed by the quality, presentation of the dish, and flavor. Congratulations, I hope to come back here many times.

Shrimp risotto was out of his world. Their service was absolutely amazing. Our first time here and we will definitely be regulars.

Such a cute Italian spot in Evanston! I got the spinach lasagna and it was delicious and the portions was hefty! I ate half and had some to take home. There’s plenty of vegetarian options and you can add meat if you’d like!

Excellent! We tried the goat cheese bread which was fantastic. Follow up with main course Farfelle chicken with zucchini. It was so nice and comfortable in the restaurant and the server was so attentive. 5 Stars is not enough!

A lovely neighborhood restaurant with very tasty food and fast service.
I have one suggestion: please move the hostess table to the main entrance, otherwise if it’s your first time, it can be very confusing to know if you should enter all the way into the restaurant!
That or put a sign up so people can know to come in.

Food great. Atmosphere is average. Service good also. I will go back! The worst part in general is the parking in downtown Evanston! Better have the parking app IF you can find a spot!
