One of the few places in Heart of Italy that offers al fresco dining.

Neighborhood Italian restaurant serving handmade pastas! Food is very authentic and delicious! Very welcoming and inviting. Great place for a glass of wine!

Dont be fooled by today's "Little Italy" on Taylor Street. Although they also have some amazing restaurants, if you want family owned Italian (and I mean generationally owned) head over to the "Heart of Chicago" on Oakley Ave where the original "Little Italy" took off. Handmade pasta here is delicious.

This charming and recently redecorated place has a few outside tables for nice weather times. Wonderful food and a friendly chef. I had a divine risotto there.
