West Loop · Italian / pasta · $$$
Monteverde is an Italian / pasta room in West Loop. Tables are booked on Resy. No release time is confirmed here.
Monteverde doesn't publish a release schedule, and we haven't confirmed one. The reliable way in is an alert that watches for new dates and cancellations.
The secrets
Dinner is booked out for months. Lunch, Tuesday through Saturday, is the opening. The bar is first come, first served, and it is an easier seat alone.
Call the day of. One party that phoned was told to arrive at 4 PM and was seated before 5. Showing up right at opening has also worked for diners, though regulars warn it's still one of the city's hardest tables, especially once the patio closes for the season.

No. We send alerts and help you plan and book. Every reservation is made in your own name on the restaurant's own platform, and we never resell tables.
