Trivoli

Trivoli Tavern in Fulton Market Chicago is a popular Hogsalt restaurant known their sticky date cake and cobblestone alley, but I think my visit was disappointing. 😋 What I ordered: * Warm Parker House Rolls * Pigs in a Blanket * Famous Prime Rib (Trivoli Cut) * Truffle Mafaldine * Mushroom Casserole * Sticky Date Cake * Butterfinger Pie 💵 ~$200 💭 Thoughts:
This is probably my least favorite Hogsalt restaurant so far. The Warm Parker House Rolls (5/10) reminded me of Hawaiian rolls but with a thicker, slightly rubbery crust. The truffle butter was sweet and delicious, but the rolls themselves were a little salty and not as soft. The Pigs in a Blanket (6/10) were pretty standard. The mustard had a strong kick, and the puff pastry with sausage was tasty without being memorable. The Prime Rib (6/10) was fresh and paired well with the horseradish & au jus, but the meat came out a little cold and I got tired of the flavor after a few bites. The Truffle Mafaldine (6.5/10) had perfectly al dente pasta, but it wasn't creamy at all and arrived almost at room temperature. The truffle flavor was pretty light too. I definitely prefer the creamy version at Ciccio Mio. The Mushroom Casserole (9.5/10) was easily the star of the meal. Super creamy with an addicting garlic flavor and an amazing crunchy topping. For dessert, the Sticky Date Cake (7.5/10) had great textures with warm rum cake, brown butter ice cream, and crunchy date crumbles, but the toffee sauce was way sweeter than I'd like. The Butterfinger Pie (7/10) also leaned too sweet, though I liked the crunchy Butterfinger pieces and perfectly firm crust. Wasn’t really a fan of the flavor of the meringue. Service was good overall. 7.5/10. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, but the food came out pretty slowly. We waited around 20 minutes just for the bread after ordering. The vibes were classic Hogsalt with dim lighting, jazz music, and a cozy speakeasy feel. I especially liked the cobblestone alley outside, though it was pretty loud inside. 8/10. 📍 114 N Green St, Chicago, IL 60607 ✨Recs: Mushroom Casserole #chicagotiktok #chicagolife #chicagofood #chicagorestaurants #chicago
