Comment on Chicago's Italian-Jewish Deli

I disagree so much with this review. I've eaten at Vito & Kesselman several times and I think the food is great.

Tell me more. What did you have there? I would love to know if the dishes that I tried were having an "off night".

I have the Italiano Pannini. It's hard to find a place that even serves pannini's and these are good. I think the hand made chips are so much better then fries. If you've ever eaten at places like RJ Grunts then you know that this place is better. The Cobb Salad has also been one of my favorites. The other day I had a pizza that was a special. So good. Whatever kind of cheeses were used it was different. I've also had the artichoke dip (better then Houstons) and the Stuffed Mushrooms are great. If you do go again get some kind of desert. Last time I had a cappachino mouse. Great.

Thanks Kim. I plan on trying V&K again for lunch one day. Sounds like I should focus on the Italian dishes.

I agree with Kim. This place is great. I would consider myself a regular now. I'm alwasy happy with the quality of the food and the great service. The specials the last few weeks have been really good.
