Regalia isn't trying to be the flashiest thing on the North Side.

Editorial review updated•Jul 28, 2026

Regalia isn't trying to be the flashiest thing on the North Side. What legendary Chicago restaurateur Dejan has built at 5959 N. Sheridan in Edgewater is something more specific and harder to pull off: a bar-forward room that takes its food seriously, anchored in Italian tradition but not imprisoned by it. Chef Jose Marquez is the skillful hand executing the classics here, and the concept is clear — familiar, well-loved Italian preparations made with ingredients that earn the price of admission. At a price point that keeps things genuinely accessible, this is the kind of Edgewater spot that fills a real neighborhood need: somewhere you can pull up at the bar solo with a glass of wine and eat as well as you would somewhere twice the cost. The menu centers on Italian-rooted dishes that Marquez executes with confidence and some real invention. The crispy bone-in veal parmigiana is what The Infatuation flagged as the thing to order — it's the kitchen's signature statement, a dish that lives or dies on technique and sourcing, and by all accounts it delivers. The shrimp with Gorgonzola cream sauce served over polenta is the kind of dish that illustrates what the kitchen does differently: it takes a familiar Italian combination and grounds it in something more substantial, the polenta giving the dish a structure that separates it from a straightforward pasta play. The chicken saltimbocca — prosciutto, sage, provolone, tomato and white wine sauce — is a well-executed version of a Roman standard. Beyond the kitchen, beverage director Greg Broyles brings a serious cocktail and wine program; his champagne background (developed at Chicago's Pops for Champagne) comes through in a drinks list that's more considered than the bar's low-key atmosphere might suggest. The room, by most accounts, feels more like a neighborhood bar than a destination restaurant — which is not a knock. If you're coming for dinner, the bar is where regulars tend to land, especially for a solo meal or an early weeknight visit. The veal parmigiana is the clear anchor order; the shrimp-polenta dish is the move if you want to see what the chef does when he steps off the well-worn path. For a casual date night in Edgewater, or any night you want to eat Italian that's been thought through rather than just executed, book a spot and lead with those two.
