"Neighborhood restaurant Bar Roma provides a lowkey place for sharing giant meatballs, cacio e pepe with handmade spaghetti, and a carafe of wine, especially when the weather is nice enough to get a table on the shaded plant-lined patio. Competitive couples can come for bimonthly trivia while the especially thrifty can dine during happy hour for discounts on cocktails, mussels, and fried shrimp. Book a table through Resy." - Samantha Nelson

Sotto

Restaurant · Loop

"Sotto is a new, proper dining experience available from the Bar Sotto team. Sotto & Bar Sotto, as sister-brands, work together towards our goal of creating a space to bring people together to share high-quality food and drinks in a neighborhood setting, in the heart of the Loop. Sotto continues our team's exploration of the future of Italian-American flavor with an expanded menu - still featuring the classic Bar Sotto obsessions (shout out Cacio e Pepe Arancini), but adding more and larger heart-warming dishes you are sure to love... duck fat confit lamb ribs, smoked sweet potato tortellini, giardiniera-braised short rib over polenta, and much more."
