Chicago’s Best Family-Owned Restaurants | Eater Chicago

"An Italian American time capsule awash in Joe Mondelli’s legendary hospitality, gigantic portions, and red sauce, La Scarola immediately comes to mind when Chicagoans think of family-run restaurants. The walls are as you’d expect: lined with photos of celebrity dinners and neighborhood regulars, all family when they’re there. The veal chop could feed a family of four, but regulars know not to share it with anyone — you’ll have to get your own." - Alex Jewell
