The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Chicago

This Italian restaurant dates back to 1909, when Luigi Davino came to the United States. Then it is a family story: the sons resumed the shop, then the nephew of Luigi, Gagliano. The map, which used to offer bread and pizza, has spread to salads, pasta, sandwiches. In 2004, the company was acquired by David Morton, who already holds the famous steackhouses chain. Good idea before you go to a "stand-up comedy" to Crush (see "Exit" section).

One of the best Italian restaurants in Chicago. Riccardo Trattoria sets our plates on fire with his polpettine arrabiate (meatballs), carpaccio, minestrone, tortelloni, gnocchi, ravioli... The list is extensive and mouth-watering. The cuisine served in this restaurant is authentically Italian, like the man who founded it, so you won't find carbonara pasta with cream or any other hybrid on the menu. The waiters know the menu inside out and will be able to advise you on how to choose the wine. An excellent address.

In an elegantly decorated room with beautiful hanging chandeliers, you can enjoy good French cuisine prepared by an experienced French chef. Among the classic dishes: duck confit, mussels and French fries, scallops, foie gras, filet mignon, snails... In short, the dishes are varied and typically French. Here is something to delight the amateurs even if it is a little more expensive than in France. Little surprise: at the end of the week, in the basement, a hidden bar with a baroque look awaits those who are in a festive mood after the meal.
