Been here once because my inlaws are Serbian & invited us over. This place is incredible. Great Ćevapi and Pljeskavica. The ambiance is great music... always TVs around for us non Serb speakers to stare at. The rakija selection is great. Must try for fans of Mediterranean or Middle Eastern food who love to try new things. Was surprised by some negative reviews. So here's a cultural lesson for Americans like me: the service at Zora is typical of any restaurant in Europe. It's actually considered impolite for a waiter to give you the bill, or checking in an excessive amount of times, without you asking it's seen as "rushing you out the door". So if you need something from your waiter, another drink, water, an order, be prepared to flag them down to get their attention. All Europeans eastern, western, Balkan don't like to be bugged by waiters, so if you need anything you have to get their attention. Think of it as practice for going to Europe :)

The food, the music, the wine what more can you ask for? This place has an authentic Balkan dining experience. You get the meat plate the salata (salad) full menu of drinks and then the entertainment starts with some of the best singers I've seen outside of Serbia. Staff was attentive and provided good service. Finished off with the tiramisu and it was divine! Kako divno sve su ukusno! Will definitely come back next time I'm in Chicago!

We ate at this Serbian restaurant for the first time with family & friends & it was great. The civapi (traditional Serbian sausages) were really good, as was the Karađorđeva šnicla, & all the meat options that we tried. The bread was amazing as was the kajmak spread. We also tried the cream based veal soup which was also really good. Everything was fresh & delicious. My husband also ordered palicinke (thin European style pancakes) with a chocolate filling, and they were really good, too. Our waitress was very attentive, & did a great job even though we had a large group. Would highly recommend this restaurant!

The food is amazing and I love that it is Serbian I would recommend the cevapi also the palacinke are really good and you should go for a visit

I can't really understand how Yelp has such a low rating for this restaurant, but the fact that it is listed as a pizza restaurant at the time of my writing this gives me a clue. This is a Serbian/Balkan family run restaurant, and it's really good. The meat plate for two will feed two linebackers, or 3-4 average people! The spreads (Kaymak and Ajvar) are delicious and likely to please a lot of palates. Our favorite meats were the two sausages (so much flavor!), the bacon-wrapped chicken breast and the chicken thigh. But the massive burger and the sirloin? were also good and others liking their meat at medium might enjoy them even more. The bread was simple but fresh and delicious. Service was very much consistent with a quality-family run kind of place. Price-wise, you are paying mostly for the quality of the food. International soccer may be playing on the TV, but there are seats away from it if that doesn't interest you. They also have a nice, enclosed winter patio. Recommended!

One of the best cevapi I've ever had. Multiple options for dishes all cooked very fresh and the crew were super polite on time with any issues or questions. You can't go wrong but starting here to try the menu with friends and family very open and the main thing is everything is super clean. From the restroom to the dishes and utensils. Best European dishes to try and enjoy. I would highly recommend many to try it out and see for yourself. It's one thing to hear but another to see the dishes laid out so well.

I have been coming to Café IL Cortile for a while, and I was a fan of the last owners, the chef and his wife were very nice and their food was good. A new owner took over a few months ago with a new management team and as usual, I was a little bit skeptical at first. I have to say that I am quite impressed with the food, the service, and the new management team. They have made changes in the menu and everything I have tried so far has been well prepared. The place is very clean, the ladies waiting on you are always great and everybody here is always making sure you are 100% comfortable. They are all friendly, chef and managers alike so you can't go wrong with this place. I would recommend the Cevapi plate but anything you try here will be good, so please make sure you come and check it out ASAP!
