Ascione Bistro - Hyde Park

Super GemHyde Park · Italian Community-sourced, unverified

📍 1500 E 55th St, Chicago, IL 60615

Ascione Bistro opened in Hyde Park in 2019 from Gaetano Ascione, a Gioco veteran bringing real Southern Italian technique to 55th Street rather than a watered-down neighborhood-Italian version.

Unlimited mimosas at brunch, plus handmade pasta/gnocchi and a proper bistecca alla fiorentina from chef Gaetano Ascione (ex-Gioco) — a Hyde Park Italian fixture since 2019 that UChicago students keep naming in their own 'gems of Hyde Park' lists.

Handmade pastas and gnocchi anchor the menu, alongside burrata, meatballs, a proper bistecca alla fiorentina, and a lobster risotto that shows up in nearly every regular's order history. It's become enough of a fixture that University of Chicago students name it directly in the student paper's own 'gems of Hyde Park' roundups, year after year -- a sign it's held up past its opening-week hype. Brunch is the real standing special here: unlimited mimosas alongside the regular menu, which turns a Sunday meal into something closer to an event than a quick bite.

This is the Hyde Park sibling of the same restaurant group's Skokie location (already covered elsewhere in this database) -- same handmade-pasta backbone, same owner, a separate neighborhood identity built around the 55th Street corridor instead of a downtown Skokie strip. Small groups do especially well here given the room's size and the kitchen's pacing.
