About Us
Our Story
Dimmi Dimmi means “tell me, tell me” in Italian, like the friend who always wants the good gossip and knows what’s for dinner. It’s the spirit of the corner: loud, warm, a little nosy, and full of love. We built this place as a tribute to the original group chat, the corner table, the stoop, the sidewalk hang. The kind of spot where stories flow like wine, and someone’s always asking “you gonna eat that?” At Dimmi Dimmi, we serve red-sauce classics with a wink, house-made pastas with a little flair, and cocktails that go down dangerously easy. Come for the food. Stay for the vibes. Tell a friend.

We are dedicated to using the freshest ingredients and time-honored recipes to create dishes that are both flavorful and comforting. Our menu features a variety of options to cater to different tastes and dietary preferences, ensuring there is something for everyone.
Chicago-Italian
Chicago-Italian has its own character. It’s rooted in a deep Italian-American history, but it’s not just red sauce and meatballs. Think chicken Vesuvio, Italian beef, giardiniera, and a whole sausage culture that’s unique to this city. At Dimmi Dimmi, we honor that by making our giardiniera in-house, working with local farms like Slagel Farms for our sausage, and giving respectful nods to Chicago classics—like our beef carpaccio inspired by Italian beef. It’s Italian-American, yes, but with a very Chicago soul.
