"The Italian Village, open since 1927, boasts that it’s Chicago's oldest Italian restaurant, though it’s actually three restaurants that share one kitchen. La Cantina, the steakhouse, and Vivere, the contemporary option, are still temporarily closed, but the oldest of the three, The Village, is open once again and serving pizza, pasta, Parmesans, and other red-sauce classics in a dining room that looks like a stage set of a Tuscan village." - Ashok Selvam, aimee.levitt
