Another off the beat, local joint which is a must. Very simple, very crowded. Always busy. The Italian food here from Chicken Marsala to the arrancini balls are some of the best Italian fare I have had outside of Italy. Very family. Small eating area. Small Italian grocery store. Bring cash because they do not accept credit cards. Owner is almost always there orchestrating like a grand conductor. Very Chicago.

Ok--not the greatest food in the world, but the ambience cannot be beat. Right in the park. Right in front of a small lagoon. It is a very nice place to spend a Sunday afternoon.

The cafe in the Restoration Hardware store is a wonderful treat for Chicago visitors. Brunch is served on weekends. There is usually a long line on the weekends and the restaurant does not take any reservations so be prepared for a long wait. The restaurant is the courtyard of the building. It is covered.
