This lush corner in River North brings a splash of Mediterranean soul to the busy Chicago streets. Guests enter a space filled with greenery and rustic wood that feels like a hidden Italian villa. The kitchen prepares handmade pasta and wood fired pizza using techniques passed down through many busy generations. You should try the carbonara because the rich egg yolk and crispy guanciale taste truly incredible. Most people love the open air seating during warm months while sipping on a cold Aperol spritz. The staff moves with grace to ensure your water glass stays full throughout the entire evening meal. Huge windows let in plenty of day light, which makes the dining room feel very open and airy. This spot works well for a romantic date or a loud dinner with your favorite group.
