"Tortello puts on an immersive pasta performance in Wicker Park. The new Italian restaurant offers passersby an opportunity to watch products being made through the storefront window, which Mike Sula calls a promotional act worthy of P.T. Barnum, just as mesmerizing but far more appetizing than ogling a Fiji mermaid. The assiduously al dente pastas are available in options like chiusoni in saffron cream; prosciutto-stuffed capelli del prete in mushroom sauce; and tortelli filled with burrata. Airy focaccia also has a discernible crunch and when smeared with ricotta and honey, it becomes a standout ancillary carb." - Jeffy Mai
