Editorial Review for Medici on 57th – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
U of C students and middle-aged Hyde Park townies crowd into this casual spot, grabbing seats at graffiti-covered wood booths or heading upstairs and outside to the picturesque dining patio. The main menu attraction is Medici's gourmet pizza, available in pan and thin-crust styles with toppings ranging from spinach and goat cheese to smoked German ham. Dessert favorites include the "Vaguely Reminiscent," a rich mocha pie with rum-flavored whipped cream.

I've lived in Boston for 8 1/2 years now, after living in Chicago's Hyde Park for 10 years, previously. I miss three Chicago-area restaurants...Pockets (one on 53d Street), Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder (on North Clark Street), and Medici (in Hyde Park). I loved the deep-dish pizza, the chocolate cheesecake, the fudge-banana nut milkshakes, and the big salads. I haven't been back to Chicago since my husband and I left in 1999, but, if I ever make a trip back, I'll definitely be making at least one trip back to Medici!!!
Pros: pizza, big salads, fudge/banana-nut milkshake, chocolate cheesecake
Cons: can't think of any! I haven't been for almost 9 years...want to go back!

The service is obnoxious, especially at the bakery. On several occasions, the servers I have come across are extremely rude to the extent that they might even ridicule you on your face for amusing fellow servers. The food is not bad but I'd rather go to a place which has a pleasant environment. It seems having an attitude is a prerequisite for the job at Medici.
Pros: The croissants are good
Cons: The staff is ill-bred
