Our Menu
Our food is rooted in traditional Italian cooking, featuring handcrafted pastas, seasonal ingredients, and a thoughtful approach to classic recipes designed for sharing around the table. Our Neo-Neapolitan pizzas are made with 24-hour cold-fermented dough using Italian flour, Sicilian sea salt, and imported olive oil, then baked at approximately 540°F to create a crust with the perfect balance of crispness, structure, and artisanal character.
Our Space
At the corner of Rush St. and Erie St., La Bella Trattoria on Rush is inspired by the warmth and tradition of Italy's neighborhood trattorias, blending timeless Italian cuisine with modern Chicago energy.
Catering & Events
La Bella Trattoria is the perfect backdrop for private events, celebrations, and group dining. Whether it’s a lunch meeting, birthday celebration, or wedding, we’ll help you host with Italian hospitality and effortless charm.
